Summer Wedding at 52 North Venue in Sylvan Lake – Sarah Pukin

January 20, 2023

Summer Wedding at 52 North Venue in Sylvan Lake.

Industrial Summer Wedding at 52 North Venue by Lacombe County.

52 North Venue in Sylvan lake / Lacombe County is the perfect place if you’re on the hunt for a Alberta Wedding Venue and you want something where you can have that “in the middle of no where” feeling but also be close enough to amenities that your guests can find hotels and transportation to and from your venue look no further!

Kayla and Brett told me all about this magical venue they had booked for their Wedding and I was completely intrigues as I had never heard of it before.

When I tell you they couldn’t have chosen a more perfect place to get married that suited the vibe and style!

Kayla is just as obsessed with dogs as I am and when she told me Moose her pooch was coming to not only their engagement photos but also their Wedding I was in puppy heaven!

Because 52 North Venue is a private property with lots of green space and their Ceremony was set down in a little valley Moose was more than welcome – I would say even a show stopper! He has a majestic smile!

In the morning I grabbed some coffee and drove from my hotel in Sylvan Lake down the winding dirt roads and found the venue – Brett and his friends were getting ready in the Vault – a speakeasy style Guest House right across from the main building.

They were more than ready to get the day going! Brett of course was in the best spirits and laughing at my horrible jokes as he got ready and I freaking love all the thought they put into their Wedding Party gifts. (see photos below!).

After Brett was all decked out I headed over to the Bridal Suite to find Kayla and her besties all over the place. Her mom (amazingly kind woman) helped me wrangle a few items for Kaylas detail shots!

Finally it was time for her to step into her dress and man let me tell you – Kayla is one freaking stunning Bride. Her pink hair and tattoos were perfectly complimented with the dress she chose. When her dad saw her for the first time I think we all cried a little bit.

Also side note Kayla and Bretts Wedding Planner (Blush and Lace Beginning ) has the best humor – I always wonder if people think I’m funny but I am fairly confident she thinks I’m funny. Also she did an amazing job with setting up everything. If you’re looking for a planner make sure to check her out because she’s worth ever penny!

After the most adorable Ceremony where literally I cried at least three times we did all the fun Bridal Photos and then headed off down the dirt road to do some Connection Photos – I swear I can tell their personalities when I look at their photos. If I didn’t know them I would be like yup those people are hilarious, goofy and amazingly sweet humans.

We headed back to check out what everyone was doing at cocktail hour and snuck in some champaign spraying shots before I grabbed some photos of all the details of the reception! It’s a really great idea to have those shots – after all you spend how long planning the style of your day – it’s perfect to have the photos as a keepsake in your album that becomes a literal family heirloom.

The evening was topped off with a slideshow, amazing heartfelt speeches and one freaking hilarious MC. He had me cracking up so much – later in the evening he changed outfits with Kaylas Mom. And just walked into the reception – those two are absolute gems!

 

Without further adieu here is a small number of images from this very fun day-o-love!!

Wedding theme //

I would call it dark and moody inside and more rustic outside like in the mountains with the fall collars to tie in the two of us Brett is a big hunter so he really wanted the outdoors camp fire antlers and candles with wood and the true fall colours like Burgundy and burnt orange yellow and golds and then this me a bit on the weird colourful and dark at the same time on the inside we kept it very industrial with metal and gold and burgundy with my pink hair and my custom leather jacket and skulls and antlers I loved how well the too of us came together in our decor.

Guest List //

48 aprox

Vibe //

Dark and moody

Top 3 Moments //

Omg top 3 moments of the wedding this is hard we had too many fun things happened that day its hard to pick but I think one has to be while I’m saying my vows to Brett the microphone disconnect and all everyone can hear is blue tooth disconnect lol. I think another would be the kissing game $1 for a normal kiss and $2 for a spicy kiss didn’t think that are family and friends would be seeing how far we would go by putting in a $5 $10 and $20.
Then this was later on when our friend Kenny the mc/officiant and my mom change outfits and surprise everyone. We had a lot of other amazing moments also but you said pick 3 so there they are.

Wedding song //

Growing old with you by Restless road we felt like tis song spoke to us on how we want our life to be.

If you could have any pet what would it be //

Bretts says he would pick a bear cut they look too cuddly but at the same time sooo dangerous. I would have to say a elephant I have always wanted to go the elephant sanuaury and help bath them and maybe go for a ride.
