Edmonton’s River Valley Park System offers an array of diverse and beautiful sites for an outdoor wedding.
If your gathering is over 50 people an event license is required and Park Rental fees will apply. If the wedding is under 50 people, a Confirmation of Use will be issued.
A Confirmation of Use gives permission for the activity to occur, but does not guarantee a specific site in the park or exclusive use of the park.
