2 Your Wedding at EMERALD LAKE LODGE Thank you for your interest in Emerald Lake Lodge. We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our lodge. Emerald Lake Lodge has a setting of unparalleled natural beauty. Originally built in 1902 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, this historic property has been restored and redeveloped to become one of the finest year round resorts in the Canadian Rockies. The Lodge is like no other with its rare blend of old and new - contemporary comfort in the midst of hand-hewn timber and stone. Savour first class cuisine in the lakeside dining room or enjoy a cognac in the Kicking Horse Lounge with its Gold Rush vintage oak bar, legacy of a Yukon saloon. On the second floor are sitting and reading rooms and a games room complete with slate billiard table, satellite television and computer with Internet access. Emerald Lake Lodge and Conference Center is designed to meet the needs of small weddings or larger ones up to 140 people. Grace and intimacy characterizes our functions rooms. They are not only beautifully appointed but versatile as well. As a result, planners are given the opportunity to create an intimate atmosphere for their wedding that reflects their style. The Lodge is surrounded by twenty-four cabin-style buildings, which include eighty-five guest units accommodating up to two hundred guests. All of the cabins have been built to reflect the traditional architecture of the original lodge. Each room features a fieldstone fireplace, a down duvet, and a private balcony with a spectacular mountain view. Our summertime restaurant, Cilantro on the Lake, offers a casual Californian menu, with a patio between the lagoon side on its left and the lakeside on its right. Our recreation facilities are located at the Clubhouse, which has a sauna and an eighteen person hot tub which overlooks Emerald Lake. Other recreational activities include cross-country and downhill skiing, hiking, canoeing and a host of other activities. Attached is our Wedding Planner package complete with room descriptions, room rental fees, and menus. If you require additional information or have any questions, you can contact us directly. It would be our pleasure to assist you to plan this very special day at Emerald Lake Lodge. Conference Coordinator ext. 210 ellconference@crmr.com Always an escape. crmr.com

5 HELPFUL HINTS TO MAKE YOUR WEDDING A SUCCESS IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES The weather here is known for its drastic, unpredictable changes. It is recommended to have a back up plan in the event of snow or rain if you are planning to hold your Ceremony outdoors. Please speak with your wedding coordinator directly to discuss options in case of weather. You are welcome to hold your Ceremony in the same room as your reception / dinner. After the Ceremony we ask that your guests depart the room in order for our staff to successfully complete the room set-up and keep the dinner running on time. Two and a half hours are required to change the room from Ceremony to Reception style set up. Your function room will be set-up with the appropriate tables, chairs, linens (white) and settings. The Lodge is very unique in the aspect that decorations are not needed. Simple flowers and candlelight are all that you need to enhance the atmosphere. All rooms are tastefully decorated and offer natural lighting, art or other decorative wall hangings. It is strongly recommended to offer hors d oeuvres to your guests during a Reception period, especially if a Host bar is in effect. Upon booking, the Conference Coordinator has various names of photographers, DJs, florists, etc to help you get on your way. The Bride and Groom are responsible for the booking of these services. The Conference Coordinator, after helping you select the room that is suitable for your special day, will assist you with the menu and wine selections.

33 EMERALD LAKE LODGE DIRECTIONS From Calgary Emerald Lake Lodge and Conference Centre is located approximately 200km (125 miles) from Calgary, Alberta. To reach the Lodge from Calgary, leave via 16th Avenue heading west. This route turns into the Trans Canada Highway #1 which you will follow directly to Field, British Columbia. 2km (1 mile) past the town of Field you will approach a turn-off clearly marked for Emerald Lake. The Lodge is located 8km (5miles) down this road. From Vancouver If you are at the Vancouver Airport you will want to go south on Highway 99 towards Tsawwassen (Ferry Dock). Exit onto Highway 10, which will be labeled as the direction to reach Hope. After the town of Langley, Highway 10 will join with the Trans-Canada Highway #1, which will take you east to Hope. At Hope it is best to leave the Trans- Canada Highway #1 and take the Coquihalla Highway as it is shorter. The Coquihalla Highway will take you to Kamloops where you rejoin the Trans-Canada Highway #1 heading west. Follow this highway all the way past Golden and into the Yoho National Park. 55 kilometers past Golden there is a turn off to the left clearly marked Emerald Lake. If you come to the town of Field you have gone too far. The Lodge is located 8 km (5miles) down this road. Please keep in mind that Emerald Lake Lodge is 840 kilometers from Vancouver, much of which is through mountain terrain that may necessitate slower driving. Please park your vehicle in the overnight parking lot where the shuttle bus will meet you to take you to the main lodge. We look forward to your visit and hope your stay will be memorable and enjoyable.
