Thank you for choosing to book your Canadian Rocky Mountain Wedding with us!

10 things we need/would like at time of confirming:

Complete the wedding booking form.

This helps us get the itinerary/questionnaire set up correctly which is an 8 page document in the case of a “All Inclusive Inn rental Package” or with our Elopement wedding packages these itineraries vary depending on which package you decide is the right one for you, (2-5 pages) we will send back and forth to keep up to date where the planning process is at. Once the afore mentioned information is received, it usually takes only 2-3 days to get the initial itinerary set up, confirmed and sent to you. (With a cover letter explaining how the exchange of information takes place between time of booking and checking in, the whole idea being to make the process as easy and as stress free as possible).

Initial Deposit requirements are 25% of the package amount (pre tax and pre gratuity) and is fully refundable for first 7 days, if paid by e-transfer to info@bearandbisoninn.com (add 3% if paying by Credit card). Once paid the dates are yours, (we are unable to hold dates without deposit). For example, if the package was listed at $5980.00 plus taxes and service gratuities, the deposit is worked off of the $5980.00 at 25%, which equates to $1495.00

Pre-payment*** requirements are 75% of the package amount, (non refundable once paid) and are due 3 months prior to arrival. As an example, if the package was listed at $5980.00 plus taxes and service gratuities, the deposit is worked off of the $5980.00 at 75%, which equates to $4485.00

Final payment is due 30 days Prior to arrival (non refundable once paid) based on all estimated costs, excluding payments expected from guests for their rooms. (The goal behind this prepayment is to be as close as we can to the final costs, changes / adjustments will be taken care of at check out, whether owed or owing).

For weddings booked under 3 months, after the initial deposit of 25%, refundable for 7 days, then  25% (non refundable) is required every 2 weeks until payment schedule is up to date, with the afore mentioned payment schedule.

Payments can be made by e-transfer, cheque, Visa or Master Card. Please note additions, Subtractions, taxes and service gratuities will be factored in on the final payment.

If payment is by E-transfer, please ensure it is in Canadian Funds Email to use info@bearandbisoninn.com (auto transfer enabled). Please send us a quick email after you have made the transfer.

If paying by credit card, please feel free to call us on 1-403-678-2058 to advise us which card you would like to use. There is a 3% service charge for payment by credit cards and we accept either: Visa or Master card for Wedding celebration payments.

Thank you for choosing to host your wedding with us! If at any point anything is not clear, send us an email or give us a call.

Outstanding Micro Destination Wedding

I relied heavily on reviews while planning for my micro destination wedding so I wanted to leave a detailed review for other brides looking. The Bear & Bison was perfect. Lonny & his team made the planning process stress free. We had a 20 person micro wedding & rented the entire Inn for the weekend (10 bedrooms). The place is exactly the vibe for the Rockies – log cabin style with a view of the mountains. Our guests could not stop talking about the food – they even made accommodations for our 10 year old cousin who loved her pancakes instead of the “adult” breakfasts.
I cannot speak enough about the staff. Brooke, Annette, and Barbara continuously checked on us to ensure we had everything we needed. We didn’t need to bring any decorations as they set up everything perfectly from their inventory. I was so stressed about the rain (it didn’t end up raining) but the girls were fully prepared with options for umbrellas or setting up inside which I cannot thank enough. Everyone loved the bartender Landon – he talked to all the guests and made everyone feel like his family. From our bonfire welcome night, to the wedding day itself, to the goodbye breakfast, the staff made sure every event went perfectly.
This was our dream wedding. I cannot thank the staff enough for making the weekend so special for us. We will definitely be back for an anniversary. A few notes for future brides -ask the staff which rooms don’t have separate showers when planning for elderly or disabled guests -Put bath salts as favors for your guests since all the rooms have beautiful tubs -do the bonfire package plus bar the night before the wedding – it was easier to organize than planning a trip to another bar, plus people can go to bed when they want.
