Surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, this cozy lodge is sure to inspire love in those who wed here. It is nestled within Banff National Park and just a short drive from town, giving couples a secluded retreat close to local amenities.

Facilities and Capacity

This resort is spread across eight acres of pristine wilderness. Cascade Mountain rises over the park like nature’s skyscraper, providing a dramatic backdrop for photo opportunities.

You can exchange vows in the outdoor Pine Meadows event space with this breathtaking view behind you. This space is popular during the mild summer months when couples and their guests can enjoy the scenery and crisp mountain air. Pine Meadows can easily accommodate up to 136 guests.

Inside the lodge, our Grey Wolf and Timber Wolf Rooms are perfect venues for your wedding reception. Both rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows with mountain views, built-in dance floors, sound system and controlled lighting. Our Grey Wolf can accommodate 136 guests with plated service and 120 guests with buffet service. Our Timber Wolf Room can accomodate up to 96 guests with plated service and 80 guests with buffet service.

Our White Wolf Hospitality Suite with it's comfortable seating, board room table for 10, wet bar and private bath has great flexibility. With some easy furniture rearranging, the White Wolf would be perfect for a small, more intimte wedding of up to 34 guests with buffet service. While the White Wolf Room food services are catered by our in-house restaurant, the hotel will also allow you to set up your own bar and bring in your own alcoholic beverages.

Our White Wolf Suite is also a perfect place for the ladies in your wedding party to gather, dress, sip some champagne and prepare for up coming ceremony. Bonus, there is a murphy bed in the White Wolf, so can be used as a guestroom.

Great mountain venue

Great food for buffet and the bar manager was AMAZING. Unfortunately went through 3 reps so there was a slight miscommunication on a couple things, but overall great experience.

Great Reception venue in the mountains

We had our outdoor wedding in the Mountains followed by the reception at the Banff Rocky Mountain resort. The venue is great with different options for different group sizes, food was amazing and chef Raj was very accommodating (special shoutout!). The wedding coordinators could have been better with the communication as we felt at times we were chasing them for answers and clarifications. The food and beverages manager Kelley was great to work with and we felt more comfortable with her being in charge on our wedding day than the wedding coordinators.

Lauren at RMR was the best! They were very accommodating, especially when it came to planning a wedding in the middle of COVID. The food was delicious, and our reception space was perfect.

Incredible Wedding Location

We hosted our wedding weekend at Banff Rocky Mountain Resort April 8, 2023. Sam and Kelly were fantastic to work with with planning the wedding events, and supporting the wedding weekend. They were incredibly responsive and flexible as we made decisions for our wedding and were always able to answer the questions we had. We highly recommend this venue for your wedding.

Corona Bride- Review of how venue handled it

My wedding was originally planned for April 4th 2020. We booked this venue in Oct 2018 and ultimately had to cancel our big day. We chose this venue because we could have a ceremony & reception indoors (during winter) without having to flip the room from ceremony to reception. The tour we were given of the resort was great, even got to see the hotel rooms. These rooms are more condo style so great for families & people coming for extended stays. The venue was very budget friendly. Our entire costs minus the bar for 94 people would of been about 12k.

Lauren handled the corona virus with grace, she was in contact the whole time. I do not believe that her management team put together a contingency plan for her to communicate as soon as the virus broke out. BUT on Tuesday March 17th when things were getting worse & I had to cancel Lauren was gracious and understanding. I wish we had the energy to replan the big day again because all of our friends & family would of loved this place. (we decided to elope at a cabin in the woods)

Thank you for everything you have done. Your team is amazing & you did a great job answering all of my annoying questions! I am very sad I did not end up having the big day I originally planned.

Although you may not have the energy now to plan a wedding again for another date we would love if we could help you celebrate your 1st anniversary and this time with your family and friends. If this is something we could help with please do reach out. Please stay safe and healthy and we hope to see you again at the resort real soon.
