WEDDING SEASON is upon us. And we think nothings better than a wild cat wedding. Like just look at this sweetness captured by yellowknife’s own from a cozy little reception we hosted last summer.

Our space offers three intimate settings to throw a cozy little gathering, with delicious local inspired eats created by chef Niki, custom cocktails, local DJ’s, and the charm of old town as your back drop.

If you’re interested in having your special event (wedding or otherwise) in a 1937 log cabin, bookended by two amazing patios, a tree canopy, and back bay to look out at, send your inquiry on over via email to [email protected] and we will get to chatting about the deets. We’d love to work with you!
