Hi everyone,
I hope all the planning is going well! I just wanted to share my experience with the vendors that we have decided to go with for our November wedding in Canmore. My fiance and I grew up here and still currently live here, what better place to get married than the mountains?
Anyway, we have booked Silvertip as our venue of choice for the event. In holds close to 250 ppl, though our guest list will be no more than 95 people which means that there will be lots of room! We decided to book off season because a. We'll be getting married on our 12 year anniversary and b. It's about a third of the price that you would get in the summertime, which is insane. I can't imagine spending so much for a venue. The food is amazing, we have always gone to Silvertip on date nights and food is probably one of the most important parts for my big Filipino family. We will be doing an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Three Sisters but in the event of bad weather, the backup space is included. We're so excited!
We got engaged back in November 2015 so suffice it to say I've had some time to plan! We decided to go with Studio Lumen in Calgary for our photographers. They are incredibly personable and very professional.
We have ordered our cake from Darci at Kake. She is a longtime Canmore local and does absolutely beautiful and crazy delicious cakes that rival prices in Calgary. She does have a small, intimate establishment. I would highly recommend!
As far as a dj goes we have hired a friend who has dj'd at bars in the Bow Valley in the past. It's nice to save a little bit of money where you can.
All decorations and wedding bands we pretty much bought secondhand through Facebook and on etsy.
Hope this helps you guys! Happy planning!
