North of Seattle, south of Edmonton and east of Vancouver lies one of North America's best kept and most beautiful secrets. With an international airport and a bustling year-round appeal, the Okanagan Valley majestically sits nestled among some of the purest mountaintops on the planet. At the northernmost end of the Sonara Desert, the climate is semi-arid and helps to sustain the long, warm summers and short mild winters. Whenever visitors arrive at Okanagan Lake, they are first struck with the magical allure of the Valley and then by the wide variety of activities provided by Mother Nature.

Imagine pristine lakes and tributaries, spectacular mountains, unparalleled pine forests filled with fragrance, flourishing gardens, abundant orchards, spectacular vineyards, sandy beaches and a population that cannot wait to make your every wish come true. That is what awaits every bride and bridal party on the 68-mile long national treasure Lake Okanagan.

A stone's throw from the city of Kelowna (107,000), Lake Okanagan's popularity has made the Kelowna International airport the 10th busiest in all of Canada. With easy ...
... access and totally unique romantic appeal, Lake Okanagan has fast become a preferred location for thousands of bridal parties. It should be no surprise that brides, grooms and their families and all bridal visitors schedule return trips to the region as soon as possible.

It is virtually impossible to experience the whole of the Okanagan Valley in just one visit. From the seemingly unlimited number of amenities to the old fashioned hospitality, Okanagan Lake and the surrounds makes it a destination hard to leave, an easy place to stay and an experience impossible to forget.

Quietly overlooking the lake is a hospitable treasure and totally unique wedding site. If you seek a memorable wedding experience, La Casa on Lake Okanagan is certainly worthy of consideration. The La Casa staff knows what every bride and groom want and have the willingness and dedication to make your wedding everything you expect it to be.

Meanwhile your guests and bridal party will never lack for culture, outdoor enjoyment, fine cuisine, camaraderie, majestic views and romance galore. If the possibilities of La Casa do not stir your soul, it would be a first.

La Casa features 2100 feet of lakeshore frontage, a marina and boat launch, a spectacularly set and maintained swimming pool and hot tub, a fitness facility, a 135 seat event center, an unforgettable, expansive stone patio overlooking the lake, an Aqua park, mini golf course, tennis courts, a children's playground, game rooms, a barbecue and picnic area and miles of crown land just waiting exploration. And, that is just the beginning. La Casa has made sure there is something for everyone.

Popular activities include skiing, hiking, fishing, swimming, boating, horseback riding and golf at any of three courses. You name it, and Okanagan Lake has it. The spectacular orchards and vineyards open even more windows of exploration opportunities.

And, do not overlook Kelowa itself. Loaded with local charm, the city features terrific museums, local culture and many galleries. Add a casino, a professional hockey stadium, a stirring artist's colony and a host of unique shops to the equation and you will never want to leave either.

Perhaps, you will stumble across the legendary Ogopogo, the mythical lake monster originated by the Interior Salish Natives. Now, that would complete any wedding party.

If you want your guests to remember and enjoy your wedding as much as you will, check out the Okanagan Lake and Okanagan Valley area. Once you settle on this unique venue, explore the La Casa resort and discover your dream come true wedding.
