Roselle Q. Married on 24/09/2022Staff is amazing and knowledgeable
We had a wonderful experienxe planning our dream wedding with Cornerstone Theatre. Our coordinator, Christian, specifically went above and beyond to ensure our stress levels were at a manageable point throughout the planning process by providing helpful feedback and suggestions. Having the catering, the DJ, photobooth, decor, bartenders, etc., in-house was super convenient and allowed us to focus on other aspects of our wedding. The venue is super accommodating and the staff decorated both our ceremony and reception space beautifully. Highly recommend this venue if you are looking to celebrate your wedding in the mountains.Cornerstone Theatre & Restaurant's reply:
Thank you for your amazing review and kind words, Roselle! Congratulations to you both on your beautiful 2022 wedding day. We are so touched knowing that your experience with Christian and our team was everything and more. Thank you again for trusting our team with your special day.
We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together! -

Heather P. Married on 26/03/2022The perfect venue for a mountain wedding!
Highly recommend booking your wedding with cornerstone! They help take so much of the stress out of the planning process, and having Nicole as our Day Of coordinator was amazing! She did a great job at organizing and making sure the day went just as we imagined it would. We had tons of feedback that everyone loved the food. The DJ, Gaston, was great and kept the dance floor going all night long! Amazing day that we’ll remember for years to come!Cornerstone Theatre & Restaurant's reply:
Our biggest congratulations to you both on your beautiful wedding day, Heather!
We are so pleased to hear that Nicole, along with our team and DJ, Gaston, made your special day so memorable. We want to thank you both for trusting our team with such an important chapter in your beautiful lives together. We wish you both all the love and happiness in your future! -

Hilary D. Married on 16/10/2021Love cornerstone
I originally booked Cornerstone in October 2019 for our wedding in 2020. Unfortunately we had to re-schedule multiple times due to the pandemic, and Cornerstone stuck with us the entire time. They were super accommodating to our ever changing plans. Christian was our day of event coordinator and was wonderful throughout our wedding planning process. Our wedding day went smoothly and without any stress due to Cornerstone's planning and execution. They set up and tear down everything, and make the day so easy for everyone involved. Everyone at our wedding had a fantastic time! THANK YOU CORNERSTONE!Cornerstone Theatre & Restaurant's reply:
Hi Hilary,
Thank you for this amazing review, Christian and the rest of our team are so touched by your beautiful words. It was an absolute privilege to have hosted your special day in 2021. We know the process may not have been what you envisioned back in October 2019, but we can truly say, it was worth the wait.
We wish you both all the love, happiness and laughter in the world as you begin your journey as a married couple. -

Caitlyn M. Married on 03/09/2021Amazing experience!
We cannot say enough great things about Cornerstone Theatre! From our initial visit right up until the actual wedding, they were nothing short of amazing. We had so many ups and downs with Covid, and anytime I reached out to them in a panic, they were quick to reply and put my mind at ease. Cornerstone is great because they take care of so much of what would normally cause stress (decor set up/take down, finding a DJ, catering, etc), it felt great knowing that they were on top of everything and that we could relax a bit. The food was excellent, and the Chef worked with us to create a customized entree that our guests kept raving about! Our venue coordinator Christian was fabulous with answering my emails and questions, and making me feel completely at ease. I highly recommend Cornerstone Theatre if you're looking for a fabulous wedding venue in Canmore!Cornerstone Theatre & Restaurant's reply:
Hi Caitlyn,
Thank you so much for your amazingly kind review! Our team is honored to be part of your special day and we are so pleased to hear that we were able to ease some of your wedding stress. Thank you again for trusting our team, especially Christian, to bring you both the wedding day you had envisioned.
We wish you both all the love and happiness for your beautiful future together. -

Jo Wetmore Married on 13/07/2021We pulled off an amazing feat!
During COVID, our 2020 wedding had to be re-booked and there was a while where we didn't know if it would even happen in 2021 either. I did struggle with some of the emails that were sent back and forth from the office (some didn't appear in our inboxes for some unknown reason!), and occasionally felt the tone from one individual was bossy. BUT our planner was so helpful and kind. She and the other staff members worked tirelessly and efficiently that whole day, and it was a wedding to remember! So many guests praised the venue and the food. Most importantly, my husband and I had one of the greatest days ever. Thank you!Cornerstone Theatre & Restaurant's reply:
Thanks for the review Jo.
I am pleased to read you and Tam had a great day with us. I am happy to hear how great Nicole was being a part of your day.
Thank you for sticking with us throughout the pandemic - we appreciate you both.
Best wishes -

Jenna M. Married on 12/07/2021Your venue search is over. If you want a STRESS FREE day, go with the Cornerstone!
If you want a mountain wedding, this is your spot. The cornerstone sets you up with a wedding coordinator (Joanne for us) and helps you plan the whole day. Cornerstone provides the dj, catering, decor (if you want it), planning, day of coordination, set up and take down, and a GOOD TIME. So many who attended my wedding mentioned how relaxed my wife and I were, not worrying about what's next or what's going wrong. Because we left it in their hands. Not to mention the venue is gorgeous! Rustic, classy, and inviting. I cannot wait to attend a wedding here for someone I know and love. I would recommend the cornerstone again and again - yes you do pay a premium for them to do all this for you, however it saved us months of stress when planning and re planning a wedding through a pandemic.
Thank you Joanne for being a source of positivity, hope and light when planning a wedding during covid!Cornerstone Theatre & Restaurant's reply:
Jenna, thank you! We are very grateful for your kind words and for taking the time to write a review. We truly appreciate it.
I am so pleased to hear that you both had a memorable time with us and that we could take away some of the regular wedding stress.
Wishing you both lots of love for your future -

Briana K. Married on 11/07/2021Worth Every Penny - Stress Free!
We are so incredibly glad that we chose Cornerstone for our wedding. We live in Ontario, so planning a covid wedding was hard enough but the distance made it even tougher. Going with Cornerstone was the best choice we could have ever made - the handled everything and we barely had to worry about a thing. They handled almost every detail of our wedding outside of photography, hair/makeup, transportation and officiant. It is absolutely worth the premium!! They made our wedding about as stress-free as it could be during this stressfull time, and that is exactly what we needed. Having setup & take down included was a DREAM, and the party going until 2:00am was a massive perk. Joanne answered every email so quickly and she is HILARIOUS. The venue is absolutely stunning, food was supurb.. we could go on. Just go with them. They were our perfect match!Cornerstone Theatre & Restaurant's reply:
Thank you so much Briana for writing your review. We appreciate you taking the time to write such lovely words about your Cornerstone experience and especially Joanne.
I am so pleased we could be a part of your special day
Lots of happiness to you both for your future -

Tamara W. Married on 19/06/2021Great handling of COVID-19 - Highly reccomend!
Even though we have cancelled our wedding with Cornerstone due to the pandemic, I felt it was important to leave a positive review of our excellent experience with the company during these hard times. Our wedding was originally scheduled for July 18/2020. We decided in late-April that we wanted to cancel or postpone due to the pandemic. Louise with Cornerstone was very kind and responsive to our (many) emails and took the time to discuss all of the options with us. In contrast to one of the reviews left online, I feel that Cornerstone was very fair and flexible in offering numerous options for cancelling/postponing weddings this summer. We went back and forth on what we wanted to do SEVERAL times and they were always very understanding and provided us with the info we needed to make our decisions as fast as they could under the circumstances. In the end, we decided to cancel, and as per the policy they sent us early in the Spring we just received a full refund for all deposits/retainers made to date (2 weeks before our original wedding date, as planned). We considered this very generous considering they could have refused to return the deposit, required us to book a new date, or retained a portion to cover the costs of all the consultations/tastings that we had already done.
We are very sad we did not get to go ahead with the beautiful wedding that Cornerstone planned with us. But we are so grateful for their excellent service during this stressful time. I would not hesitate to recommend to another bride for their wedding day .Cornerstone Theatre & Restaurant's reply:
Hi Tamara,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, our team was very touched by your words ... they mean a lot! All the surprises, changes and decisions that couples have had to face in 2020 have been tough. We are really happy that we were able to make a difference and that feel you had an excellent experience with us. We hope your "I do's" happen without a glitch when they do and that you can not stop smiling as you get ready for the day!! Best of wishes for both of you from the team.

Cassidy Married on 23/05/2021Made our dreams come true
We had originally planned a 150 person wedding with cornerstone. COVID hit and cornerstone helped me plan a wedding for 150, 50 and in the end 10 people. They made our dreams come true and made sure to make the day extra special even even though we had to cut most of our original plan. The chef put together incredible charcuterie boxes for our guests to eat on their drive home as we couldn't serve food at our ceremony with COVID restrictions. Cornerstone explored any idea I had to see if they could make it happen. They also refunded us all any money we had deposited and didn't use for the day easily right after our ceremony.
Christian was our day of coordinator and I couldn't say enough great things about him. He literally played every role from the dog handler to the usher to the cake decorator and cheered us on throughout the entire day. If it weren't for his support throughout the whole process we most likely would have had to postpone which as the last thing I wanted to do.
If your considering cornerstone I think they are your absolute best bet for a wedding venue, book them now!!-
