We thoroughly enjoyed our small intimate micro-wedding at the Fairmont Lake Louise. We had a small group, so we had our ceremony out in the national park and our reception in the Lefroy Room. It was the perfect size for our party of 8 to hold a cocktail and dinner. The room was beautiful and the view of the lake was perfect! All of the staff at the hotel were fabulous! Special thanks to Emilie who was our coordinator. She was very friendly, professional and responsive. All the waiting staff for the night were super nice and nothing was too much trouble. Our guests all agreed that the food was incredibly delicious! We would not change a moment of our experience. Are expectations were surpassed!

2020 winter elopement
We decided to elope to CLL due to the pandemic and it was seriously the best decision ever. Jeff Rothenbusch was amazing to deal with and he always answered all of our questions. We had about three rounds of enhanced restrictions happen leading up to our wedding day and Jeff was amazing in ensuring nothing got missed and everything was amended as needed. He is very personable, friendly and amazing to deal with. If you’re looking to get married at CLL, I would definitely ask for Jeff. The hotel as a whole... an absolute dream. They make you feel like a royal couple when you get married there and they have the BEST service from the dining rooms, to the house keeping folks who bring things up to your room. All of the restaurants have amazing food, definitely do high tea, and it was all delicious! It was seriously a fairy tale and would recommend anyone to get married there.

Thank you to the entire Banquet Staff at the Fairmont Château Lake Louise for our Reception in the Sun room. Thank you to John Schipling for bringing our vision to life.
The planning was very direct and easy, the setting was stunning and just as imagined, the staff was attentive and made for a seamless evening. Thank you
My husband and I got married in their beautiful Lefroy Room just last week, and I have to say that without Brittany Skov and all the wonderful staff at the Chateau, our day would not have been so magical. We were treated like royalty throughout our weeklong stay. We could never have anticipated such gracious treatment. The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise surpassed all of our expectations, and offered us the honeymoon of a lifetime. We will definitely come back for our anniversary!

The Chateau Lake Louise was a truly magical venue to get married. We got married on the Victoria Terrace and had the reception in the Victoria Ballroom. Brittany Skov the event manager is absolutely amazing! She helped me plan and organize a lot of detail for the wedding, which was such a great help since I did not have a wedding planner. I just can't say enough great things about her and she went above an beyond with her service. I lost my garter and Brittany stayed late to make me a new one! She is absolutely fabulous. The entire staff at the hotel is so nice and accommodating. The only issue I have with the hotel was that it was quite overpriced for everything. The hotel rooms and restaurants were so expensive, with most of the cocktail drinks cost $16 or more. We had 2 signature drinks ,Moscow Mule and a old fashion, costing $18 and $25 dollars. The food at the wedding was great, but kinda disappointing for how much it cost.

The Fairmont allowed my husband and me to have our dream wedding. It literally fulfilled every unrealistic fantasy I ever had growing up about that all important big day. We've been incredibly blown away by the Canadian rockies and just as much so by the Fairmont's incredible hospitality. It's unmatched. We are lifelong fans and will be sure to be back for many more visits.
Brittany, our wedding manager, was incredible, she was gracious, thoughtful, responsive and a true wedding professional. She helped us anticipate and handle everything. We truly appreciate it and all the small details that the Fairmont did to make our special day all the more special. Our family and friends had a wonderful time as well, the staff are so warm and welcoming. They were especially touched by the thoughtfulness and special accommodations made for the children. (Bringing a crib to the ballroom!)
Our wedding was spectacular and this venue is incredibly unique. The food is also amazing. I had several people tell me that it was the best wedding food they ever had. Also they had an awesome pinterest level cake!
Everyone at the Fairmont went above and beyond and out of their way to make sure our day was special. I couldn't have asked for more. Book early! Their weekends fill up fast and for goo reason :)

Gorgeous venue, attention to detail lacking
We eloped to this location and the setting was perfect. The hotel was beautiful and our room was gorgeous. The gold level staff were wonderful to deal with. There were some issues overall with the quality of care & attention to detail that resulted in some issues but the hotel made an effort to rectify them once they were identified.

A Fairy Tale Come True
My husband and I can not say enough good things about the Chateau. After the pandemic ruined our original plans of a larger wedding, we decided we didn't want it to ruin our year entirely as it was still important for us to get married in 2020, and we decided to elope to the splendour of the Canadian Rockies. And it was the best decision we could have made. Working with the team at the Fairmont (specifically Jeff in conference services) was so wonderful. He was able to help us plan our dream day. I felt no stress. Which is huge coming from a bride. Everything from the day we arrived at the Chateau to when we departed was pure magic. All of our guests and ourselves felt so comfortable and safe staying at the hotel. All protocols were always in place. Everything was sanitized and non of us worried about getting sick. It did not even feel like an active pandemic was happening. I would HIGHLY recommend the Fairmont Chateau for a small and intimate wedding day and my husband and I look forward to going back to celebrate our anniversaries!

Highly recommended for a winter wedding!!
We had our wedding Dec 8 2017 and just celebrated our one year anniversary. I thought back to our amazing experience with the Fairmont Lake Louise.
Firstly the venue. Nothing compares to to iconic fairmont Lake Louise. The castle was amazing withe the rocky mountain backdrop. The lake had froze over and we were able to have our photos on the the lake as well.
The service, we worked with Brittany Skov at the Fairmont Lake Louise to plan our daytime brunch wedding. She was FANTASTIC to work with. She was professional. Returned emails in a timely manner. Made sure all the details were taken care of and were to our requests and specifications. Friendly and an absolute gem of a person. She made our wedding at Lake Louise unforgettable.
The food, I have to say the food at our brunch was okay. It wasn't amazing but everything else really made up for it. However, we had our dinner at the Alpine Club in the basement of the Lake Louise and the food was perfect and amazing. The service at Alpine Club was fantastic. the server was attentive to all our needs and there was 20 of us!
Thank you Fairmont Lake Louise for the amazing and unforgettable experience
