Wedding Hall

Hotel Arts provided a great experience for us in Calgary. They accomodated for our late arrival (due to our delayed flight), greeted us kindly and were beyond helpful finding us the right room. Amazing location with great food not more than a few steps away; the restaurant here is as good as it gets! Rooms were nice but nothing spectacular. Clean and comfy so that’s what matters. Pool is well designed and the hotel as a whole has a unique feel to it. Would return in a heartbeat both to Calgary and this hotel.

My experience with Myriem Yeryk Weddings and Events was amazing. Myriem is the most creative, hardworking and caring wedding planner. Well organized, on top of her game and professional.

Words can not describe how much my husband and I love the photography from our wedding. Admittedly, at first I was slightly concerned that Mike and Diane's approach might not give me the "pose-y" pictures I was used to seeing on my "older" loved ones walls. Our wedding photos have the usual quintessential shots that you always see and they are amazing but none of those shots compare to the hundreds of intimate and candid photos of not just my husband and I but of many of our loved ones as well. The photos truly tell a story. Mike and Diane came highly recommended from a friend and now we will be highly recommending them to all of our friends. Our wedding photos are perfect and almost everyone that has taken a peak at them as shed a happy tear. Just a quick side note - Diane saved the day with a few last minute issues and had vendor suggestions that worked out perfectly. We have and will continue to recommend them to all of your friends and we will be using them in future.

Great customer service, beautiful store and dresses that are great quality. The girls that helped us out were wonderful and the atmosphere was very positive, calm and pleasant, not a chaotic experience like other places we visited. The only reason that I gave it a 4 star rating was because there wasn't a lot of selection for more voluptuous figures, which made it a little difficult to find a dress to try on. But in the end, we were able to find something similar to the style and the dress I ended up getting was gorgeous. Be prepared to spend time to find parking as it is mainly street parking and being in downtown can make it a little difficult. Definitely would come here again for any bridal or formal dresses.

Cole was the first photographer that we met, and right away Daniel and I knew he was the one (cliche, no?). When Daniel and I met Cole for our engagement photos, we had no clue what we were doing. We were not ourselves and just felt silly the entire time. Cole instantly put us ease, telling us pretty lame but awesome jokes, and guiding us throughout the evening. I was hesitant that any photo would turn out okay, but was blown away with his skills to make us awkward folk actually look good. When he showed up into our room on our wedding day, singing and dancing, he made me feel that much more relaxed. He took us to a stunning picturesque spot in Canmore for photos, guided us, but also just let us be in the moment. You almost forget that he’s your photographer because he just seems like a friend. He fit in with everyone, and is up for anything. Cole is such an easy-going guy, but is so incredible at what he does. He has an eye for the beauty in the small things, and can capture intense emotions and feelings in the photographs that he takes. He continues to amaze me with his photos, and I can’t wait to see the finished ones from our day!

Great venue for our wedding! Gabrielle was very accommodating and easy to work with. The new upgrades are looking good too!

Kudos to Boom Goes The Dum – what a fabulous company to work with! An exceptional team who brought innovative ideas of how to wow our key corporate stakeholders with an unparalleled event experience. The attention to detail was brilliant and every aspect of our event was executed with excellence. Cannot wait to work with them again – only problem is how to top the last event !!

It's a really nice hall for any occasion you might have!

Flexible

Staff were lovely to work with through the entire process of planning my friend’s wedding reception. Constraints were clearly stated, and the Center worked with the “wedding committee” to accommodate all of our needs. Acoustics were great, pleasing the band and musicians as well as the guests, and the commercial-grade kitchen pleased the caterer (happy caterer = happy diners.) We got great support from Anastasia the day before the reception and the day of. A fully-equipped bar, handicapped elevator and washroom, easy access to the outside for smokers, everything we came up with in more than a year of planning, they could do. Yes, there is adequate parking, and the train is close by, too.

A fantastic old church.

The most beautifully decorated hotel I have seen in the city. Great atmosphere and lovely staff.

During Stampede week, great stuff They turned upstairs into a bar / sports / restaurant. Lots of potential. Essentially it's a 2 floor building with a restaurant and vast room to set up whatever you would like. I don't know what it cost to rent space but they have had curling events, trade shows etc.

Rob does a lot of photography work with us and we couldn't be happier with the amazing photos he turns in! He's easy to get a long with and always fun to be around.

Melissa and Jared were a pleasure to work with! They selected Lake Minnewanka as the location for our engagement photos which had a variety of different settings and unique scenery. They were both easy to work with providing just the right amount of guidance and encouragement along the way. Following our session, we received our photos in less than a week! The angles and lighting are exceptional and the entire package of photos turned out better than we could've hoped for. We would recommend them to any couple or family looking for unique and rich photos!

Awesome Experience! Young Hip & Married was a perfect fit for our elopement. In a (very) short amount of time, they were able to find us a gorgeous location, amazing photographer, and a fantastic officiant! We absolutely loved working with Erika Enns as our officiant. Her words were powerful and personal and we were able to do the ceremony in our own unique way. We couldn’t have asked for a better fit. The whole experience was stress-free and simple, and allowed us to focus on what really mattered to us on our wedding day! We highly recommend Young Hip & Married if you are looking for the same.

I bought group and private lessons for a Christmas present for my girlfriend. Right from the onset Carol was helpful in picking the best package and classes to introduce us to dancing. The classes were a blast! The instructors were fun, knowledgable and very approachable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to learn to dance!

We would just like to thank Lynda for making our Wedding Day the perfect day that we were dreaming of. Lynda was fantastic and made things run smoothly from start to finish. Her words were calming and heart felt. Leading up to the wedding, she took the time to ask questions and make sure it was exactly what we envisioned. She made our daughter Sophia feel like she was every part of the ceremony and we are so thankful for her ideas to include her.  Everything looked amazing and was set up so beautifully for both the wedding ceremony and the Family Sand Ceremony. Lynda made our ceremony personal and sound as though she had known us for years. Her home was beautiful and the perfect setting.  We could not have asked for anything more. The witnesses she provided were kind and very helpful. We will always fondly cherish and remember that day and the part Lynda played in making it amazing.
