If you're planning to propose in the Okanagan, few places feel more sacred, more intimate, or more unforgettable than Sanctuary Gardens. This hidden gem in West Kelowna offers more than just a beautiful backdrop — it delivers a feeling. The kind of feeling that makes your heart slow down, your breath catch, and your “Will you marry me?” feel like something out of a movie.

From winding stone pathways to sweeping lake views and roaming deer, every inch of Sanctuary Gardens feels like it was designed for a moment just like this. Whether you choose the stunning outdoor terrace or the cozy indoor chapel with its vaulted ceilings and warm wood beams, every setting is intimate, romantic, and unforgettable.

Want to propose with this exact view? Pickadilly’s Proposal Packages include full styling, florals, and setup.

There’s a stillness here, like time is pausing just for the two of you.

🌿 The Setting: Where Nature and Romance Meet

As you park and step onto the property, you’ll begin your walk down a cobblestone path that gently winds through trees and manicured gardens. There’s a stillness in the air — a sense that you're entering somewhere private and sacred. Along the way, birds sing softly and you may even catch a glimpse of deer grazing nearby.

At the end of the path, you’ll find two equally breathtaking options:

The Outdoor Viewpoint: Framed by lush greenery and perched above Okanagan Lake, this open-air space is ideal for sunset proposals, soft golden light, and unforgettable photos.
The Indoor Chapel: A romantic haven with arched windows, vaulted wood ceilings, and a cozy atmosphere that’s perfect year-round — especially if weather is uncertain.

Either option can be styled to perfection with Pickadilly’s faux florals and candlelit touches.
