Stewart Creek is a full-service mountain clubhouse in the Bow Valley, 100 km west of Calgary, built inside a wildlife corridor where elk and deer cross the course regularly. The club hosts only one full wedding a day, for a maximum of 90 guests, so the clubhouse and grounds are yours.
Outdoor ceremonies run year round under a covered tent with patio heaters and string lighting, on a three-hour rental between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM. From November to April the ceremony can move indoors instead, to a room with wooden beamed ceilings, expansive windows and a stone fireplace, with the indoor or outdoor call made at 9:00 AM the day before. Every ceremony includes chairs, two rustic wooden mountain arches, tables for signing and decor, a speaker for your own playlist, a 40-minute rehearsal with decor drop-off, and setup and takedown of basic decor. Dogs are welcome at outdoor ceremonies with a handler keeping them on a lead.
Receptions are held in the private dining room, which has a real wood-burning fireplace and an attached patio facing the Rockies. It seats up to 90 on round or long banquet tables, dressed with white linens, napkins, china, glassware and flatware, with separate tables for the guest book, gifts, cake and favours. A podium with wireless microphone, a dance floor, all service staff, printed menus for plated dinners and SOCAN licensing are included, along with a four-hour courtesy shuttle home. Last call is 12:45 AM and the last shuttle leaves at 1:30 AM.
Catering is entirely in house. Plated dinners let guests choose one of three entrees on the night from a printed menu at each place setting, buffets include artisan bread, salads, three mains and chef-inspired desserts, and cocktail hour and late-night menus are available alongside a full bar. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergy-sensitive and children's meals are all made to order.
There is no accommodation on site, but the club works with a selection of Canmore hotels and shares its recommendations once you have booked. There is on-site parking and cars can stay overnight if guests take the shuttle, and photographs are welcome around the tent and grass and at the signature Hole 1 tee box once golfers have finished. A wedding licence and officiant are not included.
Stewart Creek seats a maximum of 90 guests for both the ceremony and the reception. Only one full wedding is hosted per day, so the clubhouse and grounds are yours for the day.
