The Gem Event Centre

Boasting a grand main-level reception area and a picturesque loft that looks on from above, the Gem is the perfect venue for both intimate moments and extraordinary celebrations alike. The surrounding mountain vistas serve as a breathtaking backdrop to your event, providing a truly entrancing atmosphere for exchanging vows, dancing the night away, and more. Set against the backdrop of the soaring Rocky Mountains, the Gem’s full-glass front façade invites the outdoors in to stunning effect, while its open-air patio allows guests to take in some alpine air without stepping out from the goings-on. The Gem Event Centre is a charming wedding venue located in Banff, Alberta. The Bow Valley's newest high-capacity wedding centre is based in Harvie Heights, only a couple of minutes from the Banff National Park gates. This new wedding venue can accommodate up to 160 seated guests and 200 cocktail style. Split over two levels, the upper mezzanine floor will be home to indoor ceremonies and 'The Opal Bar,' offering high-end cocktail service and your late-night party. The lower level is the main dining room, with 'The Onyx Bar' at one end and an operational commercial catering kitchen at the back. There is an outdoor patio at the front of the building to use during cocktail hour or during dinner to soak up the uninterrupted views of Rundle Range and Cascade mountains. The design concept of The Gem encompasses luxury, modern touches, and elegant finishes. The Gem offers spectacular scenic views, and benefits from venue coordination by Rocky Mountain Wedding Collective. The Gem Event Centre team will coordinate your booking, rental of chairs and signing table with setup and teardown, the use of Bluetooth speakers and microphones, and more. Rental includes all chairs, with a choice between vineyard or clear ghost, as well as tables and tableware, linens, and staffing.
