Unforgettable Canmore Outdoor Winter Weddings

We have been putting the "Cool" in Canadian Rockies Winter Outdoor Weddings since our first year!

We have been putting the

Do you want the magic of Winter captured with Fire and Ice?

We can do that with as much or as little pageantry as you want!

Our “Grand Bison Fire and Ice” elopement package offers an amazing ceremony, set at dusk onsite. See below for details and amazing pictures! Also, be sure to check out our Facebook and Instagram pages for amazing pics and stories!

We also include an amazing Grand Bison Fire and Ice ceremony set up, with all our winter group weddings! (Included with all winter group packages, Late November to early March).

Want to upgrade your elopement package to a Fire and Ice ceremony? Add $450.00 to the cost of your package.

Sounds great, right? But what time to have the ceremony?

First, we suggest a very private “Reveal” or “First look” for just the wedding couple. The ceremony is the reveal for everyone else, just make sure we have your reveal song and we’ll take care of everything from keeping nosy relatives away to setting the best stage for this very special moment. It is our opinion that this is the “best 10 minutes of the whole day”

We then suggest taking off with the photographer for a few hours to capture those cool Canadian Rocky Mountain backdrop photo’s. Taking the wedding party is a fun idea to share the moment. And remember to send the someone with a list of hot beverages from your favorite coffee shop!

The whole day should be planned to capture the full effect of the fire, lanterns and candles in mason jars, A bit of darkness is important!

A Bear and Bison Inn on Trip Advisor
Best Wedding ever!

We booked the Bear and Bison Inn 13 years ago today for our wedding venue, and continue to make pilgrimage here once or twice annually ever since. What can we say about the experience here? The service is first rate. The staff are always friendly and accommodating no matter how many times we have been here. The culinary experience is amazing – the owner (Lonny) is a professional chef – and his care and attention to detail certainly shows in the preparation and presentation! They have also proven extremely proactive in accommodating for allergies. We always consider the Bear and Bison Inn our “home away from home” – and will continue to do so in the future! The rooms are clean, the views are spectacular and ambience cultivates an atmosphere of calm and relaxation. It is always our first choice for booking every time we come to Canmore. Lonny takes pride, care and attention into his work and everything he touches. And it shows! We look forward to seeing you again very soon, and thanks again for such a wonderful experience!
