Beautiful venue + excellent service
We had an intimate wedding with 8 guests, Deane House was very accommodating and easy to work with. The food was outstanding and the service was incredible. Would highly recommend this venue!

A wonderful experience!
Our experience with the Deane House was excellent, from start to finish. We had an intimate outdoor garden wedding followed by cocktails and canapés in the garden, then a plated dinner in the outdoor tent. The venue and grounds are just beautiful - the perfect mix of natural beauty and understated elegance. The food was absolutely fantastic! The staff were knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. I would highly recommend the Deane House to anyone seeking a truly special wedding venue.

Best Garden in the city
Unlike some, the pandemic really helped make our wedding special by forcing us to stay close to home. And we were very, very lucky to secure the Deane House for such a small wedding. Everything they did was absolutely perfect. The only thing I can add to all the other glowing reviews is this advice: Don't bring in an outside wedding cake, because the Deane House food will put it to shame and you'll be stuck with too much cake.
Also, if you get married during the Calgary Stampede & Exhibition, you'll have a great view of the fireworks.

Excellent, attentive service, great food, friendly
The Deane House is a lovely, rustic and homey feeling venue. We were fortunate that the temperature was nice enough to hold our ceremony outside, as it was late April and Calgary weather is unpredictable! Even though the flowers had not bloomed yet, the location itself by the river is still beautiful. The restaurant is small, and the space is not completely open-more like being in your own house with many rooms set up for dining, however it worked well for our 55 guest wedding. The dance floor is the center dining room, so it is small, but for a smaller sized celebration it works well with an intimate feeling. I’m not sure how hot it would get on a summer night as it was quite hot in that dance area on a cool night and keeping noise levels down is a prime concern after a certain time so the patio doors had to remain closed. The food was great and both the kitchen and the bar worked patiently with us to create a menu we were happy with. Reserving the entire restaurant was the right decision for us as we had picture opportunities upstairs in the private library, my children and I began our walk to ceremony from upstairs and we stored our coats, purses, centerpiece and flower boxes(all the wedding luggage) there. For dinner, the seating plan we made worked out very well and my husband and I sat at the bar where we were able to view most of our guests. We had a magical ceremony and a fantastic “Deane House Party” to celebrate our wedding day.

Dream come true!
What a dreamy venue! Kelly, the venue's event planner, was great to work with, and took such good care of us. The tent set up was great, and easily accommodated our 120 guests. The food was incredible and the service was amazing.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
