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!

Amazing in every aspect of our stay !!

This place is amazing ! My wife and I stayed here for three nights for a wedding and it was absolutely stunning. First let’s start with its curb side beauty and continues inside with its rustic wood appearance. Once you walk inside it continues with more wooded beauty and very well looked after. The rooms are very spacious and super clean and looked after. Then you get to meet the hostesses that do everything you need and look after you like your their own. Annette, Brooke and Landon were absolutely amazing. From great drinks being hand delivered and always a smile on their face to the chef in the kitchen that made food that was so mouthwatering each day we were there. The breakfast was to die for I could eat the eggs Benny all day. Great location quiet area of canmore and easy place to find and park. Thanks for having us and we will be back.
