Until we talk to you about your own thoughts and dreams we have produced here an example of a 2 day/ night wedding plan which has proven perfect for many couples. This plan can be changed but underneath in italic are typical questions we will be asking you to clarify so that once the information is in our hands you can forget about the details and let us organize everything for you.

Group can arrive from 3 p.m. onwards

If you have “gifts for guests” please let us have them early so that we can place them in the guest rooms for you. Please hand the Wedding Host the table decorations / candles and cards together with seating plan if you have one.

• We will have an open bar service available throughout the evening. 

• Standard stock liquors on bar plus, beers, coolers, wine. 

If you have any special requests for wine or specialty drinks that you wish to be sure we stock please let us know.

Lonny is happy to make an easy supper should you require it. 
Our suggestions for a casual dinner in Canmore but not at the Inn would be:

• Iron Goat - the closest neighbourhood pub/restaurant, great decor, walk home.

• Bow Valley Flatbread - wood oven baked pizza and homemade pasta, downtown.

• Crazy Weed restaurant - fine food in an elegant casual atmosphere.

• Grizzly Paw Bar – Brew Bar with good pub food and outdoor patio.

• Murrieta's - sophisticated bar / restaurant with weekend music

** There will be a music system playing light music of your choice. 
If you choose to bring your iPod I will show someone how the system works. 
The piano is available for your guests to play.

We will need to know names of those wanting the Spa services and the time that they want them. It is possible to have the services at the Inn but if there is a few of you I would suggest that you go to the Spa (5 minutes drive) together.

We will also need to know who is paying for the treatments. 

Baskets will be delivered to each guest room unless you advise us that other arrangements are preferable.

Do you have vegetarian / vegan guests or any special dietary requirements?

Please specify exact flowers in the bridal bouquet as we would like to coordinate colours at the Inn.
