About

Always Occasions is a loft-style wedding venue located in Edmonton, Alberta. The venue was founded by Anna Liska and Samantha Burns, who started their own wedding coordination business in 2017. Anna took over primary ownership of the company in 2021 and continues to lead the team to this day. The staff delight in helping couples achieve their dream wedding with as little stress as possible.

Magical Wedding Experience !

Where to begin.. I knew I wanted to have my wedding at Always Occasions before construction was done at their space in Manchester Square. I knew if Anna had anything to do with it that my wedding would be absolutely beautiful. Once I saw the space complete, it was exactly what I thought it would be... beyond beautiful and magical. My wedding day was everything I could of asked for and more and it is because of Anna with Always Occasions. Anna and her team are amazing and you can tell that they want you to have the wedding of your dreams! This team thrives on a good time! I highly recommend Always Occasions for any event! You will not be disappointed in the service or space provided !!!
Love, Mr. & Mrs. Rousseau

Always Occasions is superb

I was a vendor at the "LoveAlbertaLocal" art gala hosted by Cassidy from "Albertalocal," and "Always Occasions" did an impeccable job of making sure everything went ahead without a hitch.
Quite an accomplishment considering new covid regulations had just come into affect a couple days prior.
It wasn't hard to see all the care and planning that went into making sure everyone was happy and that everything was perfect.
The venue is absolutely beautiful.
Anna and her staff are diligent, welcoming, and friendly and they made the evening even that much more special.
It was an unforgettable night made possible in no small part by "Always Occasions."
I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to experience their own unforgettable night.
Thanks so much, Anna!

Such a great team!!

Always Occasions was great to work with. It’s obvious that they have years of experience in the industry and know all of the hints and tips to make the day easier. The space is gorgeous even with minimal decor and is so easy to ‘make your own’. They made sure everything was easy and stress free for me and attended to all the details. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to anyone. Thanks so much for all of your hard work Anna and team!!

Super friendly and helpful

Anna was fantastic and went out of her way to make the day perfect, she even steamed my veil and helped me take down my up-do into a half up half down style. Venue is beautiful and unique, I’m recommending it to everyone.

Exceeded all expectations!

Trying to plan and pull of a wedding during a pandemic is hard enough as it… yet 2 weeks before our wedding, more restrictions were announced. I was a wreck to say the least! Anna’s kindness, compassion, organization, reassurance, and diligence completely blew me away. We were fortunate enough to be able to move forward with our wedding and Anna and her team were completely amazing. Anna was incredibly receptive to my vision and exceeding my expectations. She is definitely in the right of line of work because she is incredible at what she does and pours her heart into it! Anna and her team brought all of the decor, set everything up, took everything down the night of, and Anna even dropped off the keys to my vehicle at the hotel we were staying at so she could make sure everything got loaded into my car. Anna was also available to me the entire time at the wedding and surprised my husband and I work a beautiful heartfelt video of all of the big moments at our wedding. After the wedding a number of people and family members commented about her and her work ethic. She made our day feel that much more special and everything ran smoothly. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Anna and her team. I’m super grateful she was there on my special day!!

Amazing Art Event to remember

Always Occassions was such a pleasure to work with! Not only do they have the coolest venue in the trendy Manchester Square which is the perfect backdrop for photos! The service was second to none..I did not have to worry about a thing. They planned the food truck, the band , catering and had a full staffed bar that were so amazing with our guests!
I highly recommend Always Occasions for your event or wedding!
