A Spring Wedding At The Nikka Yuko Japanese Gardens, Lethbridge AB


The Nikka Yuko Japanese Gardens is one of the most beautiful locations to host an outdoor wedding in Southern Alberta. This stunning wedding venue features a huge green space, vibrant blooming trees and several unique wedding photo opportunity locations. Booking your wedding in the peak of bloom season (May-July) is highly encouraged for those in favor of vibrant colours!


A few key areas to note while hosting your wedding in the gardens are:


The Pavilion Dock

The Dry Rock Garden

The Mountain Path

The Tea House

The Well

The Bell Tower

The Bridge & Walking Paths


These are key areas around the garden that provide a unique and beautiful display of florals and greenery. The staff at this beautiful space is passionate about the garden and it's preservation. Established in 1967, the purpose of this unique space was intended to highlight the surrounding mountain and prairie scenery, while highlighting Japanese ancestry as a symbol of international friendship. You will find both intimate and large gathering areas in the gardens, and the staff is more than happy to assist in bringing your wedding vision to life!


Here is a peak into Paige & Ryan’s Intimate Wedding at The Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden


Originally this sweet couple planned on an private first look and outdoor ceremony, followed by a reception dinner in the Bunka Centre - but the weather had different plans. Unprecedented rain and wind meant a change of plans, so instead, they opted for a first look with their close friends and family in the garden, followed by an indoor ceremony + reception.


We utilized the beautiful Tea House as a partially sheltered area for family and intimate portraits.

Couple: Ryan and Paige
