Our full wedding packages include a 13-hour rental on your wedding day, plus access the day before for rehearsal and the day after for pickup of your items.

Linda and Don are on-site throughout your event to ensure everything runs smoothly.

During peak season (May through October), Lindon House can accommodate up to 70 guests, allowing celebrations to flow comfortably between the gardens and the house. Off-peak events (November through April) are limited to 50 guests. If your guest count is slightly higher, please contact us and we're happy to discuss options.

All catering must be provided by professional caterers with valid food handling certificates and liability insurance.

Yes, we have a cottage kitchen available for caterers to use for finishing and plating. Please note this is a standard kitchen, not a commercial kitchen, so meals should be prepared off-site and brought to Lindon House for final preparation and service.

While the Okanagan enjoys beautiful weather and rain is rarely an issue, we always recommend having a backup plan. We can coordinate tent rentals through our preferred vendors for peace of mind. The heritage house interior can also accommodate small gatherings if needed.
