As a local wedding photographer who has been capturing love stories across the Fraser Valley for years, I can confidently say that a The Falls Golf Course wedding is one you won’t forget and I’ve experienced it firsthand. Take Josh and Katie’s late-March celebration, for example: high school sweethearts who met at a gym in Abbotsford. They brought a fun, care-free energy that carried through every moment of their day. These insights come from someone who was there, documenting every laugh, every dance move, and even the misty eucalyptus-scented air during the rainy ceremony. You might not be ready to book me just yet, but after reading their story, I bet you’re intrigued and that’s exactly where it all begins.

A Love Story Years in the Making

Josh and Katie’s story began back in 2015, crossing paths first at a gym in Abbotsford and later realizing they attended the same school. What started with shared workouts and sushi dates turned into a relationship that’s grown steadily for nearly a decade. Photographing a couple with that much history together is always special, there’s an ease and trust that shows up in every interaction. That connection carried through the entire day, from quiet moments during the ceremony to the laughter shared between them all evening long.

Ceremony: Cozy, Intimate, and Rain-Proof

One of the reasons couples love planning their weddings at The Falls Golf Club is how well the venue adapts to unpredictable weather. The indoor ceremony space was warm, inviting, and intimate, a perfect setting as rain poured outside. The soft light and neutral surroundings allowed the focus to stay exactly where it should be: on Josh and Katie and the promises they were making to each other.

As they exchanged vows, there was a sense of calm and certainty in the room. No rushing, no distractions,  just a genuine moment shared with their closest people.

Reception: Natural Light & the Scent of Eucalyptus

The reception took place in a separate building filled with beautiful natural light, which felt especially welcome on such a rainy day. One detail I’ll never forget was the eucalyptus, its fresh, fragrant aroma drifting through the space and mixing with the misty air outside. It added such a grounding, sensory layer to the day. The black-and-white palette carried seamlessly into the reception design, feeling timeless and elegant without overpowering the relaxed energy of the celebration.

Dance Floor Energy: Loud Music & Pure Joy

If I had to sum up this wedding in one word, it would be fun. As the night went on, the dance floor came alive in the best way possible. Hard rock and loud metal took over, and it was clear this was exactly how Josh and Katie wanted to celebrate. The energy was so good that the DJ ended up staying late because no one was ready to stop dancing or singing along. These are the moments I love capturing most, the unfiltered joy, the messy hair, the carefree laughter when everyone is fully present and having the time of their lives.

Four Insider Tips For Your Wedding at The Falls Golf Club

1. Leverage Their Flexible Indoor & Outdoor Spaces

Whether you envision an outdoor ceremony on manicured lawns or a cozy indoor celebration, The Falls has options year‑round. Outdoor ceremonies are typically offered April through October with scenic golf course views and rustic arbors, while indoor ceremonies and receptions (especially useful in the rainy months) provide natural light and warmth without compromise. Planning for each possibility gives you flexibility when building your timeline and décor vision.  Ask about decor setup times and rehearsal availability, many couples find that carving out extra time in the morning helps ensure every detail feels intentional.

2. Use the Included Wedding Coordinator to Your Advantage

One big benefit my couples often praise about their weddings at The Falls Golf Club is the dedicated event coordinator included with most packages. Karlene goes above and beyond to keep planning smooth, organized, and low‑stress, from the first inquiry right through to the reception. While you might not end up with her, I truly hope that you do. She is fun, professional, and keeps the day so energetic! You can book a planning meeting early and regularly check in leading up to your date. Establishing your vision early helps your coordinator guide vendor coordination, timing, and layout details so you can relax on the day of.

3. Think About Weather Transitions & Backup Plans

Golf course venues like The Falls are stunning outdoors, but Chilliwack weather can be unpredictable, especially in spring and fall. The venue’s indoor pavilion and clubhouse spaces are ready to host ceremonies or receptions when needed, so you’re covered no matter what the forecast says. Confirming how late you can transition from outdoor to indoor spaces if needed and whether guests will be guided between them will help your timeline stay smooth and stress‑free.



4. Personalize Within Their Package Options

The Falls offers multiple wedding packages ranging from elopement‑style “Pop‑Up Weddings” to their full‑service “Just Say Yes” all‑inclusive option, including décor touches, a wedding coordinator, and vendor support. You can often customize these to match your vibe, whether you want minimal décor, curated florals, or specific catering/menus. Discussing your décor add‑ons and menu choices early can help couples who personalize elements like signature cocktails, floral accents, or table greenery, tend to feel the final result matches their style more closely without added stress.
