W new clubhouse , the region ’ s newest 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 newlyconstructed 45,000-sq . -ft. building offers sweeping views of Georgian Bay and the Niagara Escarpment .
Opened in late 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 almost 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 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 .
