elcome to Alpine Ski Club’s spectacular clubhouse,
the region’s distinguished wedding venue.
Alpine is a private club offering its clubhouse for events when
the snow has melted. Nestled at the foot of the Escarpment in
the Blue Mountains, the modest elevation of this 45,000-sq.-
ft. building offers sweeping views of Georgian Bay and the
Niagara Escarpment.
Newly constructed in 2016, the modern building design is a
departure from the traditional post-and-beam construction of
most regional venues. Soaring ceilings and fully-windowed
walls embrace the beautiful surroundings and offer a sense
of bringing the outdoors inside. Light-filled rooms connect
seamlessly through interior glass walls, providing limitless
layouts to accommodate weddings of 50 to hundreds.
The sense of spaciousness offered by the contemporary
architecture is kept warm by the colours and materials
brought in from the outdoors. A modern take on a wood
ceiling, stone cladding on the pillars, carpet emulating slate
flooring, and colours derived from nature provide a neutral
palette that works with any colour scheme.
A grand terrace with a sunken fire pit spans the full length
of the clubhouse, bridging the indoor spaces with a
broad expanse of lawn popular with parties wanting to
engage in full-sized Jenga and other outdoor entertainment.
The terrace is a beautiful location for cocktails or an outdoor

ceremony service. But if Mother Nature fails to cooperate on
the day, it’s easy to relocate the service indoors. With the
variety of indoor spaces, each room can be configured for its
own function, eliminating the need to reset.
All this is possible because a wedding at Alpine is an
exclusive booking. There is no sharing of the clubhouse
with any other event, so the only people you’ll meet are
the ones you’ve invited. Except of course for the staff from
Alpine and our partner Men with Knives Catering. Because a
memorable event deserves a memorable culinary experience,
and Reader’s Choice-award winning Men with Knives delivers
just that. Choose from their menu of options specializing in
locally-sourced ingredients prepared with international flair,
and select the service type that complements your event
from traditional table service to food stations, including the
ever-popular late-night snack service to re-energize the guests
on the dance floor.
The wrapper on a wedding at Alpine is the service. Our
wedding parties are complimentary about how easy Alpine
makes the wexperience, from the comprehensive package
inclusive of tables, chairs, and table settings to the attentive
service by all the staff.
Whether you are looking for an intimate setting for a small
group or a gala spectacular for a large party, Alpine’s
clubhouse has demonstrated its pedigree. •
