Amazing Wedding Experience

We just had our wedding this past Saturday and it was amazing! The staff at Banff Park Lodge did a phenomenal job from planning, to set up, to food. It could not have gone any better!

Amazing venue

This place is amazing to work with, its a beautiful venue with the mountins and for pictures its less then 10 mintues to get to the main park. The staff are amazing they made sure that the groom and I didnt get drunk but still made sure to have drinks when we wanted. It was the best food we ever had at a wedding there were so many options to choose from and they do cater to most allergies and food preferences and its really amazing. We were also able to have a fog machine and we also had lots of space for a photo booth..

Great place for a wedding

We had our wedding there, this past weekend and it was wondering. The staff was very helpfully and accommodating, especially the bell boys, they were amazing. The food for our receptions was amazing. The buffet for breakfast was not my favorite. That does need a little work. Besides that, best experience ever.

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding day!

We had our wedding reception at Banff Park Lodge and the venue, service, and communication were unbeatable. The location close to downtown is phenomenal, and the prices on both the rooms for guests and venue space were extremely reasonable. Everything was incredibly clean, and the front desk and concierge staff were helpful and friendly. The event staff was communicative and very easy and pleasant to work with in the lead-up to the event, and very amenable when we had to delay a year due to COVID. The food and service at the dinner were amazing, and all our guests enjoyed the food and space. We had an amazing day and are so grateful to everyone at BPL for making it so great! I would recommend this as a venue to anyone looking for a wedding space in Banff!

Excellent!

As a bride with a special diet requirement (celiac disease) I wanted a venue and chef who understood that! My guests commented a dozen times on how spectacular the food was.
The hotel staff were amazing too. We had so much fun in the pool too.

Banff Park Lodge was a beautiful spot to host our reception. We dealt with Wanda and she was extremely prompt and professional. They were very upfront with costs and the breakdown of our bill was extremely detailed. The hotel is a little dated; however the ball rooms have large windows that display the gorgeous Rocky Mountain views. Price was very reasonable for a Banff Wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
