Your Private Escape to What Matters Most

Slow down, reconnect, and create memories that last

At Forget Me Knot Retreat, every stay is about giving you more of what you long for: presence, peace, and connection. Whether you’re here to exchange vows, gather your family, or simply step away from the rush of life, this rustic Alberta venue offers privacy and stillness that lets you breathe. No distractions. No pressure. Just time together — and memories that stay with you long after you leave.

Wildly in Love

Because Love Deserves More Presence, Less Pressure

A retreat for those who want intimacy over excess.

I built Forget Me Knot Retreat for couples, families, and dreamers who crave something different — a space that strips away the noise and makes room for what matters. Here, love isn’t squeezed into timelines or distracted by crowds. It unfolds slowly, under the wide Alberta skies, by the glow of the fire, or along quiet country paths. This isn’t just a venue. It’s an invitation to choose presence over pressure, intimacy over excess, and moments you’ll never forget over traditions that never fit.

More Than a Wedding Retreat

A countryside cabin for families, adventurers, and anyone who craves nature’s quiet

While Forget Me Knot Retreat was built for love stories, its heart extends beyond the wedding day. Families come here to disconnect from busy schedules and reconnect with each other. Creatives use the space to capture beauty without distraction. And in hunting season, outdoorsmen find a private home base surrounded by Alberta’s wilderness. No matter your reason for coming, you’ll find the same promise: privacy, peace, and moments worth holding onto.

Weddings Weren’t Meant to Be This Stressful

Because your love deserves to be celebrated, not overshadowed.

I’ve seen so many couples feel crushed under the weight of planning a “perfect” wedding — the big guest list, the pressure to impress, the cost that can set you back for years. Somewhere in the chaos, the heart of it all gets lost: two people starting their life together.

That’s why I created Forget Me Knot Retreat. Here, you don’t have to worry about seating charts, debt, or entertaining hundreds of guests. You get an intimate space designed for simplicity, meaning, and connection. A wedding that centers on what really matters: your love for each other.
