The Prestige Mountain Resort
Set in the heart of downtown Rossland and framed by the mountain range, Prestige Mountain Resort is a polished, full-service venue for meetings, retreats, weddings, and group getaways. Their newly renovated event facilities offer a choice of flexible meeting spaces — the expansive Ross Thompson Conference Hall (3,304 sq ft), or the more intimate Plewman and Kirkup Salons (each 600 sq ft), accommodating up to 300 delegates in total.
With full audio/visual support and a business centre on site, it’s easy to host corporate seminars, board meetings, or training sessions. Meanwhile, the resort’s comfortable accommodations, in-house catering, restaurant and lounge, and wellness amenities (like a sauna and hot tub) make it ideal for multi-day retreats or celebratory banquets.
Whether you’re planning a professional gathering or a personal celebration, the Prestige in Rossland delivers sophistication, functionality, and that laid-back mountain-town charm.
A Wedding in the Woods
The Rams Head Inn
Tucked into 4½ acres of towering cedar forest at the base of Red Mountain, The Ram’s Head Inn offers a truly magical and intimate wedding destination. Here, you can celebrate under dappled sunlight through the trees, surrounded by bird song and nature’s quiet grandeur. The lodge isn’t just a venue — when you book your wedding, you take over the whole inn, with all 12 rooms for your guests, giving your party full access to the cozy common spaces, sauna, games room, and forested grounds.
Your ceremony can unfold in your own private woodland clearing, and after, guests can dance beneath the trees or explore bike trails that wind through the forest.
The Ram’s Head is as relaxed as it is romantic — no rigid “wedding package,” you bring in your own caterers and rentals, and they provide the enchanted setting and warm hospitality. It’s a place where your celebration feels like a weekend escape, not just a one-day event.
Where Mountains Make Memories
Red Mountain Resort
At Red Mountain Resort, your wedding or group function becomes more than just an event — it’s a full mountain‑resort experience. With a variety of function spaces to suit any size or style, RED offers everything from a private Conference Centre with stunning views of Red and Granite Mountains, ideal for presentations or retreats to the historic Rafters bar (perfect for receptions, late-night parties, or breakout sessions). For larger groups, the Sourdough Room holds up to 200 people and can connect with the Conference Centre to create a seamless flow.
Couples tying the knot can take advantage of RED’s signature 4,400 sq ft outdoor ceremony deck, framed by mountain peaks and nature’s grandeur — a picture-perfect backdrop that’s quintessentially Rossland. The resort also offers on‑site wedding coordination, chef‑driven menus, and lodging in slopeside condos so you and your guests can stay close to the celebration.
