Soaring peaks, crystal blue lakes and views that are sure to take your breath away around every corner. For adventure enthusiasts and lovers of the great outdoors alike, there’s no denying that the Canadian Rockies are a truly magical location that serves as the perfect backdrop to your special day. If you’re recently engaged and dreaming of a wedding that lets nature’s beauty shine, Canmore, Alberta is an ideal spot to say “I do!” Far quieter and intimate than busier towns like Banff or Jasper, there plenty of reasons to choose Canmore for your special day. Learn more about the perks of planning a wedding in Canmore below!

Drink In Alpine Tranquility

Canmore is home to panoramic mountain views, an incredible culinary scene and no shortage of ways to relax and unwind. For couples looking to stay away from crowds and chaos on their special day, Canmore is considerably less busy than Banff, despite being just 26 km away. With Kananaskis Country just a stone’s throw away, couples and wedding parties wishing to explore and squeeze in a hike or two before or after the ceremony, Canmore is a fantastic home base with more affordable accommodation options as well.

Stunning Backdrops

With nature at your doorstep, it couldn’t be easier to find a picture-perfect backdrop for your photos. For couples leaning towards an outdoor ceremony, venues like the Canmore Nordic Centre’s Tree Island, Cross Country Stadium, and Bow Valley Vista as well as the Canmore Ranch (exclusive to Cornerstone Theatre in 2019!) treat guests to unrestricted views of the Three Sisters as well as a vast array of natural touches.

On the other hand, for those feeling a little weather shy, or wanting to stay indoors, the Cornerstone Theatre and Canmore Nordic Centre serve as incredible venues with luxury wedding services for you and your guests to enjoy. Cornerstone Theatre hosts up to 200 guests in a rustic cabin-style theatre and has plenty of extras to help you and your guests celebrate in style. The Canmore Nordic Centre can comfortably host weddings up to 80 guests. Catering is provided by the Cornerstone team and several options are available to help you enjoy your day.
