Can we bring our own alcohol to our wedding reception in Canmore?

Yes. There are no bar minimums, so you stock the bar yourselves under an AGLC Special Event Licence, a straightforward permit we'll walk you through. No corkage and no minimum-spend math.

Do you have food and beverage minimums?

No. Bring your own food, hire a caterer you love, or ask us for local suggestions once you know your style.

Do we have to use a preferred caterer?

No. There's no in-house caterer and no mandatory vendor list, so the menu is entirely yours to build.

How many guests can the Reception Venue hold?

It depends on the layout: up to 100 for a mingling, cocktail-style night, around 60 for a seated long-table dinner, and an intimate setup for around 10 so a smaller group never feels lost in the room. Send us your guest count and we'll tell you honestly how it fits.

Is there space for dancing and an afterparty?

Yes. Dinner happens in the Thrive Room, then a private hallway leads to the Spark Room, where the dance floor and karaoke take over for the second half of the night.

Do you provide wedding decor?

We offer a choice of decor packages so the room matches your vision without you styling it yourselves, or bring your own and make the space completely yours.

Can kids come to the reception?

Yes. The Bunny Den gives kids their own cushions, toys and games just off the main room, so parents can actually eat dinner and dance.

How late can the celebration go?

Because the party happens indoors in our own private rooms, timing has more flexibility than a tent under a curfew. Tell us your dream timeline when you inquire and we'll confirm what works for your date.

Can we host our rehearsal dinner here too?

Yes, plenty of couples do exactly that: rehearsal dinner the night before, reception on the big day, all under one roof.

Is the venue easy for older guests to reach?

We're in downtown Canmore, steps from Main Street, so hotels, restaurants and taxis stay close. Tell us what your guests need and we'll walk you through the entrance and layout honestly before you book.

Beige ballrooms are fine, for other people. At CanMore Together, your wedding reception unfolds like chapters in a great love story, set in downtown Canmore with the Rockies as your backdrop and Banff National Park just up the road.

Dinner begins in the Thrive Room: long tables dressed in curated décor packages (romantic blush, moody modern, boho gold, wildflower chic), candlelight doing its best work, and speeches that feel intimate rather than echoey. It’s the kind of mountain wedding reception that looks like your Pinterest board, only warmer, realer, and full of your people.

Then the energy shifts. Through a private hallway, the Spark Room takes over: bar humming, dance floor alive, and the kind of boutique lounge vibe that turns “nice reception” into “legendary night.” Cue karaoke mic drops, a photobooth that captures both the epic and the unhinged, and playful extras like “family-vs-family” trivia, newlywed rapid-fire, or a late-night snack bar (tacos, poutine, you tell us). It’s purpose-built flow: grandparents settle into cozy corners, your college crew owns the floor, cousins bond over casual games, and somehow everyone feels part of the same moment.

Little guests? We’ve got them covered too. We’ll carve out a whimsical nook just for kids: think floor cushions, craft tables, games, toys, and even a sprinkle of “wedding-day magic” to keep them happy while grown-ups toast, dance, and mingle. It’s like a mini party inside the party, designed to make your reception easier (and way more fun) for everyone.

Need a breath of mountain air? Step onto the patio for sunset clinks and those “are-you-kidding-me” views. Inside or out, the whole space moves with your celebration so the night never stalls.

We keep it flexible because it’s your day. Bring your own food and alcohol for a budget-friendly win, or let us line up our favourite caterers and bartenders to elevate the spread. Add signature his-and-hers cocktails, a curated dessert bar, or a surprise round of party games, and our team helps you shape a reception that’s wildly you.

This is a Canmore wedding reception venue that blends boutique elegance with actual fun: long-table dinner, seamless lounge-to-dance flow, a patio with mountain views, a kid-approved zone, and a location steps from Main Street and minutes from Banff. Translation: your guests will talk about this one for years.

INQUIRE

Dinner happens in the Thrive Room: long tables, candlelight and a choice of decor palettes that let the room match your vision without you doing the styling yourself. A private hallway leads straight through to the Spark Room, so the two spaces work together as one venue for the night.

Once dinner winds down, the Spark Room takes over with a dance floor, karaoke and a lounge that turns cocktail conversation into a proper party. The Bunny Den, a kids’ nook with cushions and toys, sits off to the side, and the front patio gives guests a spot for mountain air and photos between courses.
