Canmore’s Best Mountain Wedding Venues
1. Coast Canmore Hotel & Conference Center
The Coast Canmore Hotel & Conference Centre may be the largest full-service wedding venue in Canmore, but that doesn’t mean it’s only perfect for large weddings. Our hotel hosts weddings of all sizes, so whether you’re planning a celebration for 15 people or 300, we can accommodate your every need.
The Wildrose Ballroom can host grand receptions and provides an elegant backdrop for indoor ceremonies with high ceilings, natural light and a wooden dance floor. It can also be divided into four smaller sections, accommodating smaller guest lists.
With plated meals and multiple buffet options, our catering team will craft an exceptional dinner for your guests, complemented by TABLE Food + Drink, perfect for smaller cocktail receptions or rehearsal dinners.
2. Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club
This beautiful course attracts golfers from all over the world and is a premier mountain wedding venue that can accommodate up to 90 guests. The elegant facilities are perfect for intimate weddings, with evening receptions hosted in the main dining room that features a wood-burning fireplace, large patio and natural lighting.
For outdoor ceremonies, this is one of the best Canmore wedding venues, too, as Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club has tent coverage to ensure everyone at the wedding is comfortable regardless of the weather. There are plated, buffet, cocktail and late-night menu options, as well as a four-hour shuttle service to get guests home safely at the end of the night.
3. Canmore Golf & Curling Club
Located just a short walk from downtown, the Canmore Golf & Curling Club is ideal for weddings where guests will be travelling from out of town and need to return to their hotels at the end of the night. That’s far from the only reason to host your big day at this mountain wedding venue, though.
The gorgeous golf course and surrounding mountains provide a breathtaking backdrop for your special day, and the Rundleview Room and its beautiful patio have amazing views of the Rundle Range and Ha Ling Peak. The culinary team at the golf and curling club provides expansive menu options, and both plated and buffet options are available.
4. Canmore Nordic Centre
The Canmore Nordic Centre is a destination for the world’s very best cross-country skiers, but it is also one of the most desirable mountain wedding venues. The Bill Warren Training Centre has an elegant banquet room with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer jaw-dropping views of the surrounding mountain vistas and the on-site ceremony locations are second-to-none.
For catering, there are buffet, hors d’oeuvres, plated, cocktail reception and dessert options, and the Bill Warren Training Centre’s experienced staff will provide full set-up and clean-up.
5. The Sensory
Opened in 2019, The Sensory has quickly become one of the most popular mountain wedding venues. Located right in the heart of downtown and featuring unrivalled mountain views, an exceptional in-house kitchen, an elegant indoor space and an outdoor patio that can accommodate up to 40 guests.
For small weddings where you’re looking for a convenient location, panoramic views and a divine farm-to-table culinary experience with an extensive collection of wine, craft beers and signature cocktails, The Sensory is worth considering.
