About

Welcome to Thanksgiving Ranch .. a luxurious and exclusive Rocky Mountain wedding destination with unsurpassed views in a truly unforgettable location located in southern Alberta, near Waterton, Alberta.

Imagine having private access to our incredible ranch setting and marvelous Lodge to say ‘I do’! You and your guests will be fully immersed in a truly unforgettable setting, with ‘closed gate’ privacy, bordered by majestic mountain peaks. Creating a sense of ultimate seclusion and a serene sense of place, Thanksgiving Ranch is a uniquely luxurious setting for sharing a celebration with those you love most.

Facilities and Capacity

Begin your day in the classically designed Lodge by preparing in one of the designated get-ready suites. Surrounded by the warm wood-lined interior of the ranch house, take a moment to relax with your wedding entourage. There is plenty of room for your hair and makeup teams to help you ready yourself for the festivities. Your ceremony can take place in The Saddle Barn, a beautifully pastoral event space designed to host elegant celebrations. Here, you can seat up to 70 guests for your ceremony and reception in the seating design of your choice. Weather permitting, you could opt for an outdoor service in the surrounding pastures around The Saddle Barn. You might choose to host an outdoor cocktail reception in the fresh mountain air before proceeding back inside to enjoy a delicious meal. The interior of the barn structure is notable for its exposed log walls and beams. Market lighting is placed around the perimeter, casting a romantic glow over your reception as the sun sets majestically behind the nearby mountains. There is plenty of room to accommodate a dance floor and after-dinner entertainment.

For a more intimate affair, you can enjoy a ceremony and reception based solely in The Lodge. Your event can take place on the main floor, which can then be flipped to accommodate your dining. You can comfortably seat up to 36 guests here, keeping warm next to the wood-burning fireplace. If the season is warmer, you can also move the event onto the lawn surrounding The Lodge. The outdoor spaces will allow your guests to mingle or break away from the crowd to take in the amazing vista.
