DENETIAH WILDERNESS ELEOPEMENTS
RUN WILD TOGETHER
For couples who want more than a wedding—they want an experience. Denetiah offers remote, fly-in wilderness elopements in complete privacy, surrounded by northern BC’s untouched beauty.
Secluded Experience
A Ceremony You Don’t Have to Share With Strangers
Imagine saying your vows at the edge of a glacial lake, or beneath towering spruce trees with no one around but the mountains. At Denetiah, you’ll fly in by floatplane and elope in true wilderness—no roads, no noise, no pressure.
This is where rustic luxury meets raw nature. Just the two of you (or bring a few loved ones), a beautiful handcrafted lodge, and the silence you’ve been craving.
Why Denetiah for Your Elopement?
True Privacy – Denetiah is only accessible by floatplane. You’ll have the entire lodge and lake to yourselves.
Spectacular Backdrops – Crystal lakes. Forest clearings. Alpine meadows. Sunsets over silence.
Full Lodge Support – Lodging, meals, and everything you need is covered. No stress, no planning circus.
Adventure-Ready – Hike, paddle, fish, explore… or do absolutely nothing. This is your time.
Bring Your People – Invite a handful of guests (up to 8 total), or just the two of you. You decide.

The Difference at Denetiah
Not a Venue. A Place You’ll Never Forget.
We’re not a wedding factory. We host a very limited number of elopements each year because we believe in doing it right: remote, intentional, and unforgettable.
Whether you want to self-solemnize, bring a marriage commissioner, or have one of our team help facilitate—we’ll make it happen.
“The silence, the lake, the firelight after we said our vows—it was perfect. No cell phones. No pressure. Just us.”
I think Denetiah is a magical place for amazing wilderness adventures. The mountains so nearby and the lake full of trout gives you the option of just hanging out enjoying the serenity, hiking or catching fish all day long. And the new lodge buildings make the wilderness comfortable and accessible. I have never been to any place that matches Denetiah’s scenic setting or offers better wilderness adventures.

Reviews
In July 2024 we flew our Turbine Goose to the new lodge at Denetiah Lake. Trina and her staff gave us a warm welcome and promptly toted our stuff to our respective lodges. The first class treatment continued throughout our stay, with clean modern lodging and excellent meals. We had a wonderful time fishing the lakes and rivers of the local area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and interactions with the Denetiah staff, and look forward to many future returns.

Trina- I've been flying to remote places in Alaska for three decades now and I know my way around beautiful places and wilderness lodges. I was thoroughly impressed with what you have at Denetiah. In particular, the hospitality, the fishing, the meals, the accommodations and the natural beauty of the Canadian Rockies all make it a special place. Not every lodge manages to pull it off like you guys do.
