May
Spring Planning at Keefer
While spring is awakening in the Okanagan Valley, Keefer Lake Lodge is still shaking off the remnants of its epic Catski season. At the lodge’s higher elevation, the snow takes its time to melt, leaving the ground wet and soft well into May. This makes it the perfect month for touring the venue, meeting with vendors, and soaking in the slower pace of pre-season planning. It’s a great time to plan a site visit and start visualizing your big day at Kefer!
June
A Fresh Start to the Season as Nature Awakens
Keefer Lake comes to life as summer begins, with the lodge’s surroundings glowing in lush greenery and the crisp mountain air creating a refreshing atmosphere. Everything feels fresh, vibrant, and full of possibility—setting the perfect tone for your special day. Mid-June marks the start of our summer wedding season, making it an ideal time for couples who want to be among the first to tie the knot in the mountains each year.

If you want the best of summer without the sweltering heat, August is an ideal wedding month.
