We loved our venue! Having a winter wedding we knew our ceremony would be indoors, but we loved that with the big windows at the BWTC we would still get a great mountain view! Andrea who is the event coordinator there is amazing to work with, and is actually one of the reasons we chose this place. She has lots of great ideas and really takes care of you. They give you guaranteed access the day before to do all your set-up and you have the option to clean-up at the end of the night or you can pay extra to go back the next day. The venue is up the hill and away from the town a bit which makes you feel a bit more secluded and makes for some great photos! I think the only part we didn’t really like is that you have to use their caterer who we didn’t end up liking that much. But other than that it was fantastic!

Wonderful Venue!!
Planning an out of town wedding can be hard, however choosing the BWTC was the best decision we made! What a fantastic, beautiful wedding venue. The mountain view is incredible, the venue space is modern and location is wonderful. The venue itself doesn’t require much décor for a wedding, as it is already a beautiful space. Andrea the events coordinator is beyond amazing, and extremely accommodating for all requests. I felt like she went above and beyond for all communications, meetings ect. and we couldn’t be happier with how everything worked out! A really nice option is that you are able to access the day before to do all your set-up and you have the option to come back the next day to do your event clean up which is rare and a very nice opportunity. Since our wedding was in the winter, we held both our ceremony & reception there, and they took care of absolutely everything regarding changing over the room. Such a stress-free process! We would highly recommend anyone holding an event in Canmore to check the Bill Warren Training Center out, we are extremely happy and have nothing but good things to say about it!

Amazing Experience
After our previous reception venue changed numerous things on us only 7 weeks before the wedding (and made it impossible to have the day we wanted) we were scrambling to find a new reception venue and came across the BWTC. They (Andrea in particular, as she was our main contact) were so professional, communicative, supportive, and went above and beyond to make it the perfect day for us. Their preferred caterer, Bow Valley Gourmet was also incredible To work with. Michael made us and our guests the perfect meal even without us getting to do the complimentary tasting due to time constraints. I’m SO happy we found the BWTC and only wish we’d found them sooner! It’s a beautiful spot for a wedding and I’d recommend to absolutely anymore looking to have the perfect day.
