If you’re planning to tie the knot in Canada, there’s no better place than the beautiful town of Canmore, AB. This picturesque town, nestled within the Canadian Rockies, offers a stunning backdrop for any wedding ceremony. But with so many options throughout the year, it can be tough to choose the best time to get married. Luckily, we’ve got you covered! In this blog post, we’ll be discussing the best time of year to get married in Canmore, AB, so you can plan your perfect day with confidence.

Springtime Nuptials

Springtime in Canmore is a magical season that will add an extra special touch to your special day. As soon as the snow melts, nature comes alive, and the mountains sprout gorgeous wildflowers, creating a breathtaking picture-perfect backdrop for your wedding photos. Plus, you’ll enjoy a moderate climate, perfect for an outdoor ceremony.

At Cornerstone Weddings we provide outdoor ceremonies at the Canmore Ranch year round.  However, if your spring time weather doesn’t cooperate, Cornerstone Theatre is available for your indoor back up.

Cornerstone Tip

Always ensure you have an option for an indoor back up for inclement mountain weather conditions.

Summer Weddings in the Mountains

Summer marks the peak wedding season in Canmore, and with good reasons. The warm weather and almost endless daylight make it the perfect time of the year.  For couples who want to say their “I do” while surrounded by nature’s beauty, summertime hits the mark! You and your guests can take in the rugged mountains, turquoise lakes, and endless alpine views, making summer weddings in Canmore both lovely and memorable.

During your outdoor ceremony with Cornerstone Weddings, extend the celebrations by adding a celebratory glass of prosecco and delicious appetizers.  This delightful addition is available at the Canmore Ranch, Tree Island and the Cross Country Stadium.

Cornerstone Tip

Summer can be hot! Provide your guests with shade, sunscreen and bottles of water if you plan an outdoor ceremony. 

Fall Weddings

Fall in Canmore is an absolute dream. The foliage starts to turn, and the surrounding mountains burst into a plethora of orange, red, and yellow hues. The weather is cool in the mornings but warms up nicely.  This provides the perfect atmosphere for those who want beautiful scenery coupled with a cozy wedding affair. Also, since fewer people visit the town during fall, you can take advantage of less traffic.  Plus enjoy a quieter, more intimate wedding experience.

Cornerstone Tip

Choosing to get married in Canmore outside of the traditional summer months can save money.  Accommodation is cheaper and wedding venues tend to have lower spend commitments. Plus, there tends to be more availability so you can book your favourite photographer or baker.

Winter Weddings in Canmore

If you are dreaming of a winter wonderland wedding, then Canmore, AB is the perfect destination. The town transforms into a sparkly hub with snowcapped mountains, frozen turquoise lakes, and the charming glow of winter lights. You can exchange your vows amid a snowfall or gather your guests for a cozy indoor ceremony.

With Cornerstone Weddings at the Canmore Ranch we offer a Winter Wonderland Outdoor Ceremony Package.  This includes a do not tent with fire for your guests to meet and stay warm and blankets for your guests during the ceremony.  Add on a hot chocolate bar (don’t forget the Baileys!) or some mulled wine to celebrate the season.

Cornerstone Tip

Ensure all guests are aware of the weather conditions so they can dress appropriately for an outdoor winter ceremony.  Plus, allow for winter boots and thermals under your wedding dress.  Additionally, treat your bridesmaids to a faux fur shawl.  

Canmore, AB offers year-round wedding packages, catering to every season’s requirement. Whether you want a spring wedding surrounded by wildflowers, a summer wedding with endless mountain views, a fall wedding with stunning foliage from the mountains, or a winter wonderland wedding with picture-perfect snow everywhere, the town has something to offer for you.
