Thank you for considering Voyageur Quest as a place to honor, celebrate and beginyour lifetime of adventure. Voyageur Quest specializes in all kinds of Algonquin Parkadventures and our Algonquin weddings are first and foremost ideal for those wholove being active in the great outdoors and appreciate being at the edge ofAlgonquin Park in any season. Traditionally, our Algonquin weddings have been tailor-made. Each wedding hasbeen a unique one-of-a-kind creation. We resisted the idea of offering "weddingpackages" identifying as an adventure tour company rather than wedding plannersin the business of large all-inclusives. Today, post-pandemic restrictions, the popularity of small weddings seems here tostay. Smaller numbers may be au currant, though again, we resist the idea of an in-and-out 5-hour "use of space." Our weddings offer smaller groups big experiences -a one-of-a-kind spectacular celebration at the edge of Algonquin Park with all theadventure options that this iconic natural world playground offers. Imagine a guestexperience that includes moose sightings, a floating sauna, and one last dip beforedressing up for the main event! It is, of course, helpful to be able to paint a picture of the most common weddingscenarios that we are suited to host. Our unique properties inform the numbers wecan host for the ceremony and reception, the numbers we can accommodateovernight, the available services, and the booking duration with respect toseasonality. There are 3 such scenarios, packages, or Wedding Adventure Selections that willform the basis of our discussions and will allow you to personalize your vision andbring in additional services as required. We look forward to helping you shape andhost your most memorable day! CONGRATULATIONSY O U R G R E A T E S T A D V E N T U R E B E G I N S . . . .
