Truly Wonderful

The team at Cornerstone was wonderful to work with from day 1. We knew what we were looking for, and Cornerstone was actually the only venue we even went to see. They had it all.
While we planned away, they were there through it all to answer questions and to provide guidance. When we started working with Nicole at our food tasting and decor selection, we were even more solidified that we had made the right choice. Nicole worked with us on everything, and was super accommodating when we had a couple of last minute drop offs to make sure we still got the best value.
Every single person that came to our wedding commented on how amazing our venue was, it was so beautiful. The food was to die for, and we literally didn't have to worry about anything throughout the entire day. It was literally a dream come true.

Year-end Highschool Football Awards Banquet

The Cornerstone has hosted our Canmore Wolverines Football Banquet the last two years in a row and have been incredible to work with and are very community minded. Chris Joy was amazing to work with and did what he could to put on a great event within our fundraising budget. The pasta buffet was excellent and all the players had heaping platefuls! I really appreciate receiving excellent customer service as it's hard to come by these days. Thanks again for putting on a memorable event for our Canmore Wolverines Family!

Great venue and even better food

This venue was pretty great. They help setup and take down the decor so you can enjoy your day and night. They had prosecco and appetizers outside for our guests following the ceremony and then enjoyed an excellent dinner inside. Only con is there is no a/c so it was quite warm in the summer. Still amazing.

Perfect day!!

Everything went perfectly on our wedding day, we didn’t have a single thing we had to deal with. All of our family and friends talked about how good the food was and how nice the venue is. The music was great, the bar service was great, we don’t have a single bad thing to say!

Staff 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.

The BEST wedding experience ever

I couldn't recommend Cornerstone enough. The staff is kind, professional and responsive, and they are amazing at what they do. Our wedding coordinator was Christian, and from day 1 he was so helpful and made sure our day was absolutely perfect. The main reason why I would recommend Cornerstone is because of how much they take care of for you (ie. table decor, ceremony setup, reception setup, music, AV equipment, etc.) - if you are a couple who wants a stress-free wedding without having to sweat the small stuff, this location is for you.

The 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!

Love 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!

Stress Free Wedding and my Dream Come True

We cannot say enough about cornerstone. They made our wedding day and the entire process stress free. Our day was more then I could of dreamt of with all thanks to the help of cornerstone theatre. 2 weeks since our wedding and I still am speechless on how perfect everything was. The staff, the food, the drinks, the decorations and the DJ all surpassed our expectations.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
