Amazing all around

Beautiful venue, Amanda is the absolute best coordinator. Very responsive. She takes the ski lodge and turns it into a dreamy wedding venue. She made our day so special and not at all stressful!

A awesome experience!

Castle Mountain Resort was an amazing wedding venue. The guests were in awe with the site and surprisingly, the stroll to the ceremony was a hit! The scenic drive from Calgary made it an amazing experience form the minute guests hopped in the car. Not having service made communication little difficult at times on the day, but the staff was so accommodating, friendly, relaxed and totally understanding that things don't always go exactly as planned, but will go on wonderfully, none the less! Food was delicious as well. Thank you to the Accommodation staff for being so kind with bookings and thank you Amanda, for being so patient and chill throughout this whole process and for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!

Castle Mountain Wedding

Castle was a beautiful venue for our wedding! The views are amazing and scenery unreal. Amanda was very easy to work with and relaxed and confident in her job.
Our only recommendation for Castle to improve their wedding experience for all guests is to get AC installed in the lodge and the hotel. While the lodge was getting very hot by dancing time, Amanda and Castle staff were wonderful in letting our DJ turn speakers and lights outside so we had a unique and wonderful outside dance that we loved!

Highly recommended mountain wedding venue! AMAZING!

My husband and I recently got married at Castle Mountain Resort. After looking through numerous venues in Canmore and Banff area, we realized that we did not have the budget for a mountain wedding until we came upon Castle Mountain Resort. When we came up to view Castle Mountain Resort we instantly loved the mountain view (closer than you think!), large windows and rustic feel in the lodge, and beautiful ceremony site.
Being from Calgary, we think of Canmore and Banff when it comes to mountains and were completely oblivious to how beautiful the scenery was near the Pincher Creek Area, specifically this resort. Not to mention it came with an affordable price!
The reception venue is large and makes great use of the space to have two separate areas that are still open to each other. One side has the dinner tables and the other has the dance floor and cocktail tables. We really appreciated having a kids room and a side room where the buffet was held so that the line didn't spill into the main area and the set-up/clean-up was hidden from view.
The ceremony site was absolutely charming amongst the trees, creek, and mountains. Many of our guests couldn't stop gushing about how beautiful and magical the site was.
Another big win about the weekend was having accommodations and lodging right on the mountain. It made it feel like a special weekend event where all our friends and family could enjoy together without worrying about going from place to place.
Finally, Cole and Kayla and the entire staff went above and beyond to answer any questions and ensure that we had the day that we envisioned. They were flexible, easy-going, and well-organized. The day went extremely smoothly and was (for the most part) stress free! We could not be more thankful to them for everything.
We highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a mountain-scape wedding with an affordable price that treats you like your spending the big bucks.

A perfect day!

Our day was absolutely perfect! Amanda was incredible to work with and answered all our questions and ensured the day went smoothly. From the initial meet and greet to our wedding day everything was straight forward, easy and all the details were taken into consideration. We can't thank Amanda and the CMR staff enough for making our wedding day a dream come true!
We would love to see the lodge have air conditioner for future weddings as it was extremely hot on our day and the lodge was very hot throughout dinner and the reception.

A wedding everyone will remember for years

We just got married at Castle Mountain and the experience was straight out of a fairytale. The ceremony site was breathtaking, the guests could not stop talking about the food, and the reception venue was incredible. Amanda and her team were amazing and were available the whole event to lend a hand and answer all of our questions. We will recommend this venue to anyone who asks.

Hey! My name is Amanda, and I have the pleasure of being the Events Coordinator here at Castle Mountain Resort.

My contagious smile and energetic personality have helped me grow into the role and build long lasting relationships with my clients. I am most looking forward to meeting you and ensuring your event is everything that you wanted and more.
