DREAM Wedding Venue
If you don't book The Parlour, you're messing up!! The Parlour is the perfect combination of indoor and outdoor vibes, intimate, and beautiful. The food is incredible (all of our guests were raving about it), and the service is exceptional.
Josh, the general manager, was truly the highlight of booking at The Parlour. He is personable, kind, organized, attentive, and so organized. Josh went above and beyond for us and I don't know that words can be enough to say how truly grateful we are to him.
Along with Josh, the other manager, Pia, and the rest of the server, bartender, and kitchen team, were so helpful and incredible the entire night. Dinner service ran to smoothly, drinks were quick, and the transition of going from the ceremony space on the patio to the dining room was seamless. Having the loft as open as it was, helped keep those up there feel like they were still a part of the reception; it didn't feel seperate at all.
Additionally, at the end of the night, they had set aside my husband's and my food in the fridge to take home with us because we didn't have a lot of time to eat with checking in on guests and saying thank yous. Even during cocktail hour, serves sought my husband and I out specifically to bring us snacks and drinks because they knew we were hungry!
The attention to detail, the passion, and the level of quality that The Parlour has it exceptional and you will not regret booking with them. 1000/10. SO GOOD!!!

Made everything easy
Our experience with Parlour was great. We bought out the whole restaurant for the reception and had our ceremony there for our wedding. The cost was reasonable as it was both venue and catering since it is a restaurant. The ceremony did have a fee, but it went towards our minimum spend. The price does vary quite a bit based on the day you are looking to book, so those looking to save money with a flexible date can do so here.
Josh and the rest of his staff were professional and easy to work with. They have lots of experience running weddings so they are able to help guide you if you don’t have an exact vision on how you want events to go but are also willing to work with you to bring the ideas you do have to life. Also many vendors are familiar with them at this point so that can further ease the stress day of. Setup was on us to provide, but the transition to reception and takedown was done by the staff and we were able to pick it up the following morning.
The food was a 4-course meal which included a dessert and was obviously fantastic, everyone that came was raving about it. Dietary restrictions are well cared for and they will make individual servings if needed, which we had a few. They also can accommodate any form of bar style including tickets at any price you would like, open bar, or fully on guests to pay and they can use cash or card. Once again, their flexibility was awesome.

All our guests LOVED the venue!
Could not say enough great things about this place. From the atmosphere, food, staff, and everything in between… this was one of the best decisions I made for my special day. I initially had a bit of sticker shock when I got my first quote to reserve the restaurant for a day (on a Saturday), but if you can fit it in your budget, it is SO worth it because it’s just a food & beverage minimum so you’re technically just paying for that and not even paying for the venue! By having my wedding there, I no longer had to worry about catering/bar, music (they have a full sound system so I just did a Spotify playlist and it worked SO well) and I only had to do minimal decor because the location is already gorgeous. We got so many comments from guests about how great the food, staff, and location was. One of the big things for me was that we had a lot of dietary restrictions among our guests, and I wanted to make sure everyone could eat a full meal. They accommodated EVERYTHING, even the most complicated ones! No one left hungry.

10/10 AMAZING. Best value for money without feeling cheap.
Parlour was an AWESOME reception venue and I seriously could not recommend them enough! We never really though about hosting our reception at a restaurant before so Parlour wasn't our first choice. BUT out of the 10+ venues we looked at in Edmonton Parlour was the clear winner, here was what we liked most about them:
1. You don't feel like you're getting nickel-and-dimed over every little thing, Parlour has a minimum spend to book the entire place and that's it. I was getting so annoyed by all of the venues that add an extra charge for every stupid little thing; like charging for early access, cake cutting, sound system rentals, cleanup fees. I hated having to have my guard up all the time when talking to other venues just to make sure I wasn't getting ripped off. Table and chair rentals, linens, bartenders, servers, AV equipment were all included at Parlour!
2. Parlour took care of coordinating the rental chairs, table linens and they did all of the setup of our tables (including table numbers, table runners, menus, name cards, and other decorations). They also took care of all of the takedown. My husband and I just showed up and had an awesome time, literally 0 stress.
3. The food was seriously unbeatable for the price! We got appetizers, a 3 course family style meal, dessert, and a late night meal for the same price per person that we would have paid for a bland chicken buffet at some of the other places we almost went with
4. Great service! The Parlour team was way more responsive than any of the other caterers/ venues we spoke with. Mackenzie (nickname Kenzie) from the Parlour team did all of the work that we normally would have had to hire a day-of-coordinator for, at no additional charge! Plus, all of the other staff who worked our wedding were awesome.
In my opinion Parlour is the best kept secret when in comes to reception venues in Edmonton, if you're hosting less than 150 people I definitely recommend checking them out!

Perfect for smaller/more intimate weddings
The parlour hosted our wedding this last weekend and they were PHENOMENAL! I (the bride) felt extremely taken care of and overjoyed with their service. We had couples tell us they wanted to get remarried just so they could do it at the parlour. Food was incredible, servers and bartenders were lovely, venue was stunning. I recommend this location for weddings under 90 people - the parlour can accommodate larger weddings but the table placement isn’t ideal.

October 2022 wedding
We hosted our wedding at Parlour just over a month ago and I cannot recommend them enough.
The staff were amazing and so accommodating of our needs and our vision. They made sure our guests were well taken care of and all allergies were easily accommodated.
We loved the fact that our ceremony and reception was in one place and that the price of the venue included your food and drinks. We didn’t need to hire bar tenders or a catering company and it just really made it stress free.
They happily customized the menu for us and made sure allergies were noted. We had signature cocktails and there was never a line up at the bar as they had servers bringing around drinks and enough bar tenders to keep things moving.
All of our family and friends really enjoyed it and we are so happy we chose such a unique venue that we are able to go back to and create more memories at.
