Casual Service Menu ~ Chef’s Notes

The idea behind this series of menus is to have an offering of something that is of the highest quality, while maintaining a more relaxed, casual atmosphere, in a lower price range.

Notes to help you plan:

Seasonal availability~ check to see what season each menu is offered~

Summer season, May 1st to October 31st.

Winter season, November 1st to April 30th,

Service time ~ In order to keep the prices low, these menus are designed with a 60 minute, serve time. We will have the dinner set up for say 6 p.m. and maintain it until 7 p.m.

Minimum numbers ~ are in place, to cover the cost of running these styles of dinner. If you have rented the entire Inn and would like to have one of these dinner options but you are below the minimum number, we would require a supplement of ½ the price of the missing number of guests in addition to the cost of the attending guests at full price. Please remember we do require final confirmation of numbers, 3 p.m. the day before the dinner or your last email confirmed number will stand.

Maximum numbers ~ with these menus the capacity is limited due to seating and buffet configurations. During summer months, ask about raising it for outdoor dining.

Self-served dinners ~ these are buffet style, with the service during dinner being, the clearing of tables, and clean up. If you would like to upgrade these to full service please ask for the additional costs (linens, table settings, table service, beverage service, coffee tea, desserts, etc.)

Please note all food and beverage must be provided by the inn, exceptions are made for Wine, (purchased in Alberta, not “home made wine”) with corkage fee per 750 ml bottle.

Wedding cake, you may bring in your wedding cake or alternative to a wedding cake, (cupcakes, cake pops, etc), a plating fee of $2.50 per person will be applied.

Upgrades are available ~ designed to take these menus to another level while still maintaining great value. Upgrades vary depending on the base menu, please ask.

Coffee & Tea service is available for $3.75 per person and can be added to any menu.

Options for Children ~ Kids Between the ages of 2 and 11 can eat off of these menus for $15.75

Can we use these menus for our main wedding dinner or just as a seated dinner? Yes.
a slight fee will be added to the cost of the menu per person and cover linens, servers and the extras set up required to make these menu’s just that little bit more. See menu for details.

(V) symbolizes options that are suitable for Vegetarians and or even Vegans (most times) with minor changes made to the individual’s dish. Please ensure that we know ahead of time, who and how many vegetarians or vegans you have in your group

A Perfectly Charming Elopement Experience at The Bear and Bison Inn

My husband and I had an unforgettable elopement at The Bear and Bison Inn this summer. The experience was beyond what we could have hoped for, and a big part of that was due to the attentiveness of Brooke, one of the staff members. She went above and beyond to make the day—and the days leading up to it—stress-free and enjoyable. Her care and dedication made everything feel seamless, which, for us, was truly worth the cost.

The setting was magical, with breathtaking views and a warm, inviting atmosphere that made our ceremony feel both elegant and intimate. The staff paid close attention to detail, from the ceremony setup to the flowers and photography, genuinely caring about creating a meaningful day for us.

If you’re looking for a place that combines professionalism with authentic warmth and charm, we wholeheartedly recommend The Bear and Bison Inn. They made our elopement everything we hoped for—and more.
