It's Called The Vista for a Reason
As a couple traveling from the US for a destination wedding, we had an overall great experience with Cornerstone Weddings. One of the reasons we chose Cornerstone was because of how easy it was for us to make decisions related to decor and other wedding details as it is an all-inclusive venue. They also work closely with many local vendors, including cake designers, florists, photographers, videographers, and travel services, which made it really easy to get recommendations for who we were still looking to book. Since they have established relationships with many of these vendors, most already knew exactly what to expect, which made the planning process that much easier.
We worked with Lindsey C. as our coordinator. During our food tasting and meeting with her, she provided a lot of great feedback and suggestions regarding decor and the appropriate amounts of food and beverages to have available for our guests. Something we especially appreciated was how flexible she was with some of the last-minute changes we needed to make. These included helping us set out hand warmers for guests, setting up our older dog's bed at the front of the ceremony so he could sit comfortably, and allowing us to make a game-time decision about whether or not the groom's father would walk down the aisle. While she was at the venue, before handing things over to the event manager after dinner, she also made sure to keep us on schedule.
Although we chose The Vista specifically for the views (and honestly, we would have been happy with any of Cornerstone's beautiful venues), we were pleasantly surprised by just how wonderful the food was when we came out for our tasting. Our guests couldn't stop raving about it either, with some even commenting that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. We were also extremely grateful for how well the team accommodated the groom's wheat allergy, going as far as preparing separate gluten-free bread rolls and poutine gravy that they brought directly to our sweetheart table.
The DJ, Gaston, was wonderful! He was extremely organized and sent us a very detailed questionnaire to complete before the wedding. We really appreciated his expertise, his thoughtfulness in incorporating cultural music that was important to us, and his dedication to keeping the dance party going until 1:30 AM.
A few things we found a little frustrating that are worth noting for other couples planning a destination wedding. During our initial discussions with the venue, a different coordinator who was helping answer our questions mentioned that we would receive our final venue coordinator assignments in December of the year before the wedding. However, despite following up, we didn't receive those assignments until our food tasting in April, which was nearly six months before our wedding.
Additionally, for couples traveling specifically for their food tasting, it's worth noting that although we were told tastings wouldn't take place more than six months before the wedding, we weren't given any date options until mid-January, when we received just three options between February and April. Even though we responded within 30 minutes of receiving the email, we were only offered our second choice. So, if having a food tasting is important to you, be prepared to respond quickly to emails and potentially make last-minute travel arrangements.
One last thing we think would be a nice addition would be for Cornerstone to offer a printer for the photo booth. Although guests had the option to immediately email themselves their photo booth pictures, the image quality was quite low, so we ultimately had to reshare the full gallery link with everyone to ensure they could access higher-quality versions. Having the option to print photos on-site would be a fun keepsake for guests and a nice addition to the overall experience.
Overall, we had a great wedding day, and the views were everything we had hoped for. Despite the cold temperatures and freezing wind gusts, our guests were quite literally blown away by the beautiful setting and the overall experience!

Beautiful but Disappointing!
The location is great. The wedding coordinator was helpful but we kept hearing over and over again that because they don’t own the building almost everything was out of their control. And that’s where they leave it. Building not finished - oh sorry not our fault. Outside looks like a construction zone / actually was a construction zone with excavators and safety fences and oranges cones littered everywhere - oh sorry not our fault. No compensation for broken promises just the excuse we can’t do anything we don’t own the building. It’s a lovely location but so are other completed venues in Canmore. If you go with them make sure you get what they promise you in writing and what will happen if they can’t live up to those promises other than “sorry it’s out of our control” The wedding was great but the excavators in every wedding photo will live forever. Cornerstones’ response “sorry not our fault”
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
