Things to Note

Food & Beverage, Alcohol Licensing

You are free to work with the food & beverage service of your choice. All caterers have to adhere to strict garbage and wildlife safety regulations as the venue is located in bear country. If you do not have a caterer in mind yet, we will gladly make a recommendation and share our local contacts with you to make your event one to remember.

Since this venue is not permanently licensed, you will have the option to run your own bar with your own Special Event Permit alcohol license in place. All bartenders must have their Serving it Right and follow BC’s responsible liquor service regulations.

Furniture & Décor

The Top Start house is rented as a shell and all tables, chairs, and decor are to be arranged via a third party of your choice. Don’t have anyone in mind? You can easily select a rental company from our list of preferred vendors. Most have worked with us on a variety of events and weddings and will provide you with recommendations and expertise on layouts, décor, and logistics. Please contact us to request our list of preferred vendors.

Location & Transportation

The Whistler Sliding Centre is located just above Whistler Village on the slopes of Blackcomb Mountain (get directions). Despite the venue being in close proximity to Whistler Village, we always recommend arranging for shuttles for your guests to make the arrival and departure seamless and safe. There are a few companies in town through which we recommend arranging your transportation. Please contact us to request our list of preferred vendors.
