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.

Best Wedding Venue in the Rockies

I got married on April 28, 2025 at the Bear and Bison Inn, and it was the best decision I could’ve made. We had 64 guests and we stayed two nights at the Inn. My number one compliment to this venue is the staff. Right from the beginning Lonny was a very responsive with emails and helping guide me through wedding planning. There were no hidden fees and everything was very professional and thought out. The day of the rehearsal dinner, check-in was smooth and Brooke and Barbara immediately started setting up all the little details I had planned. The service at the Inn was just incredible and they were so nice and reassuring. The staff were hands down one of the highlights of my wedding. The food was a 10/10 and everyone loved our tapas style dinner the day of the wedding. I was so impressed how efficiently food was distributed to everyone and how guests with dietary restrictions were provided for.

Our bartender was fantastic and even gave us tips on the best spots for pictures. The hot tub was a great feature and all the rooms were beautiful. BREAKFAST was unreal both days, and guests commented on how wonderful the whole space was. I can’t recommend this place enough. Definitely a cozy space that felt like I was getting married in a cabin tucked away in the mountains. Perfect for smaller intimate weddings. This venue is VERY experienced with what they do and can guide you to decisions that work best for everyone!
