Mt. Norquay Banff

Teha and the whole Mt Norquay team (especially Linda!) will go above and beyond to make your wedding a dream, and cover every tiny little deal. Two months later, we're still glowing, couldn't imagine having held it anywhere else. Banff is beautiful, the venue is gorgeous, the menus were described as mere guidelines as they let us customize however we wanted, and the food is AMAZING (our guests were beyond impressed... and we had some picky people in attendance). The staff are super friendly and clearly veterans. We had brunch up at the Cliffhouse Bistro a few days before the wedding and realized our waiter there was going to be one of our bartenders—he ended up bringing us champagne on the house! What a guy (thanks Max!). On the day of, they had an ARMY of bartenders for our 165 guests, and they made plates for our entire head table, which was a godsend. When we initially met Teha, we told her Mt Norquay was the first venue we'd visited so she gave the gave us a full Wedding 101. She clearly knows what she's doing. She's extremely transparent and upfront about costs and will let you know of any anticipated logistical challenges. She gets things done when she says she will, and she understands that you'll likely need a heavy dose of guidance. And she's super cool. We asked if it would be ok to bring in shot-skis because we figured our guests would enjoy getting a bit rowdy Her response, "Why bring them in?? We have two shot-skis here you can use!" Badass. Oh and the day after, we went to collect our stuff (because you don't have to do a full clean-up the night of, which is HUGE), they had everything all nicely organized sitting on the bar for us. Took 5 minutes to toss it in the truck. AND, she graciously tolerated my dad's awful jokes over the course of several months, which must have been absolutely grueling. I assume you don't know my dad but his jokes are complete groaners. Anyway, we appreciate if you actually read all the way down here, we obviously have nothing but the best things to say about Teha and Mt Norquay . If I wasn't a tad worried about identity fraud, I would be very tempted to leave my cell number for anyone who wants to call me to ask questions about Mt Norquay because I would be eager to sing their praises to anyone who would listen. If your mind is made up on Banff, Mt Norquay is head and shoulders (and a literal mountain) above any of the other competing venues. Best of luck!

We had our wedding in September 2019 at Mount Norquay, with our ceremony on the deck and our reception in Kika's Cafe. Having previously attended a wedding at Mount Norquay, we already knew what a great venue it was, but hosting our own wedding there we can still say we were so incredibly impressed with every single person we interacted with at Mount Norquay. Teha was amazing to work with from start to finish throughout the planning process. Right at the beginning of the planning process she sent me a few excel files to play around with to see if Mount Norquay's costs were in-line with our budget. As a type A person, I can't tell you how helpful these tools were for staying on track leading up to the day. I also loved how little we needed to bring to the venue decor wise as it was already such a great space.

The staff during the reception were amazing and we felt so taken care of! We absolutely LOVED the food! All of our guests were so impressed by the food and the drinks and the staff! We’ve never had such good poutine too! If you're doing a late night snack, absolutely choose this option. Our guests just demolished it!!! Unreal venue, unreal night.

Great service! Great price for what you get.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our wedding at Mt Norquay! The entire day was perfect!
The staff was incredible! They checked in with my husband and I throughout the night and always made sure we had anything and everything we needed! Between the ceremony and reception they even snuck us a few snacks as we were waiting to make our grand entrance!
Also, one of the best parts about having our ceremony there was the flexibility. It was raining all day but about 5 minutes before the ceremony was supposed to start the sun came out. They were able to flip the entire set up so that I could have my dream wedding outside in the mountains!
Planning everything was also a breeze. Teha was so easy to communicate with and they really went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted for the day! We were able to customize our menu and bar prices to match our budget. They also had a shot ski to use which was a big hit with our guests!
Overall our experience was amazing! I would 100% recommend them to anyone!

I cannot say enough good things about Teha and the Mount Norquay team!

All I wanted for my wedding was to get married in the Canadian Rockies and Teha and her team made it happen. We have not stopped hearing from our guests how wonderful their experiences at our wedding was. Leading up to the big day Teha was accessible and responsive, making organizing a wedding from out of town a breeze. Her team takes care of literally everything ceremony and reception venue, food and beverage and has a shuttle service to get your guests home safely. Teha also has excellent recommendations for vendors in the Banff/Canmore area to fulfill the rest of your wedding needs. Cost-wise, Mt. Norquay is very comparable to any large wedding venue in a bigger city and relatively affordable by Banff standards. The food is outstanding and the service friendly.

I am so incredibly happy with how everything turned out and appreciative that Teha was able to make my Banff wedding dream a reality. I highly recommend this wedding venue.

From start to finish, Teha and the Mount Norquay staff were extremely helpful, kind, honest, and very flexible. Teha provided great resources, responded promptly, and estimated # of beverages, food and rentals for our invoice so we wouldn't be shocked by the end bill. The Mount Norquay staff was so great to us the day of the wedding and provided exceptional service. This venue had an amazing view and we got great pictures inside and outside. Amazing food too, our guests were very impressed.

Our wedding at Mt. Norquay was a dream come true. My husband and I live for the mountains and so the Rockies was a natural choice for our wedding. We are easy going and outdoorsy people, but we are a young couple so our budget had to be reasonable. We went hunting for wedding venues, and we were discouraged by the prices, the inflexibility and the rules involved in many hotel wedding locations. Then a friend suggested that we check out Norquay, and it was perfect.

It's an isolated location very close to Banff (~7min drive). There are outdoor and indoor options, both of which are beautiful. It is a ski lodge with tall ceilings, solid wood beams and large glass windows. It's rustic, but can be transformed into any look you want. There is a large patio and you can have fire pits outside. There is a shuttle service which you can book for your guests. You can go up the chairlift to take pictures (depending on the time of year). Last call is at 1:00 which is later than most venues in the Park. Most importantly, you have the ability to make this wedding everything you want it to be.

Teha runs the show at Norquay and she has become one of our favourite people. We knew from the second we met her that this was the flexible and fun venue we were hoping for. She has a great sense of humor and was so easy to have a conversation with. Working with her was an absolute pleasure.

She is honest and upfront about what she can and cannot offer as well as the associated cost, which we appreciated. She kept in touch through email and everything was very organized. She let us have the venue for essentially Friday-Sunday so that setup and take down weren't rushed. Her staff worked so hard and were so great for the entire event.

The food was incredible. Some people might be skeptical about ski lodge catering, but it was the best food I've ever had at a wedding. Our meal was better than the fancy dinner we had the Banff Springs a few days later. And the bar tending was also on point. Teha let us request our favourite local beers and she brought them in. And I'm still searching for an old fashioned as good as the one at Norquay!

Overall, everything was outstanding. Beautiful mountain views. Gorgeous interior. Top of the line catering. And Teha is absolute dream to work with. I couldn't have imagined my wedding anywhere else and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get #marriedintherockies.

My husband and I could not be happier we held our wedding at Mt. Norquay. Working with their event coordinator Teha was a dream, she was so responsive to emails and so helpful. Teha and all the Norquay staff are so relaxed and down to earth it honestly helped me as the Bride with my stress level!
Our guests have not stopped raving about the venue, the food was out of the world, the venue is gorgeous, the panoramic views are to die for and the staff blew us away.
I thank my lucky stars every day that I found Mt. Norquay for our wedding.

Mt. Norquay is an incredible location for a wedding, and Teha and her team are an absolute dream to work with. They know what they are doing and have everything down to a science.

Teha provides great advice and is super responsive to questions, she goes above and beyond to make sure you get your wedding day your way.

Norquay are so good at what they do, that we didn't even notice there was another wedding going on in the other half of the building! Guests had no idea and were well managed to make sure everyone was at the right event - really fantastic!

Our wedding was flawless! Teha and the Norquay team were so amazing and flexible for us. Everything we wanted at our wedding they provided. When I got sick between the ceremony and the reception, the staff brought me orange juice and ginger ale! Everyone was so thoughtful and considerate. Totally worth it!!
