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!

Amazing mountain wedding venue!
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.

Amazing service, beautiful venue, great food
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.

Mt. Norquay Wedding
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.
