Perfect Day

The Food was Amazing... They were very accommodating and modified the menu to add a traditional pasta dish for an Italian-style meal as well as all dietary allergies. Fantastic value for the price. The staff and the service all night were amazing! They were on top of things and constantly checking in on everyone. The bartenders were included in the site fee. It is such a fun atmosphere the space has so much character. Nice space for something a little different. We had 100 people fit comfortably ( more than that would feel tight)

Best Wedding Venue

I have nothing but great things to say about Trolley 5 as a wedding venue. The staff, service, food, and coordination went above and beyond out expectation. All the staff, from the coordination leading up to the day, to the day of support, to the servers, and support staff were the kindest, most accommodating, and friendliest people. They made me feel confident and I didn't stress at all about anything the day of. I didn't really know what to expect from the food but it was amazing. We received so many compliments from our guests on the quality of food and the quality of the service. I genuinely could not have wished for a better day. It turned out exactly how we wanted and I am confident that, that would be the case for anybody planning a wedding or event at Trolley 5. We are forever grateful that we chose Trolley 5 for our wedding ceremony and reception.

Love Trolley 5!

We didn’t actually to get to have our wedding here due to the pandemic, but right up until the end when we decided to cancel, working with the staff at Trolley was a great experience. Even through navigating the cancelation they were helpful, understanding, and kind.

Lotus was organized, professional and so helpful. She had many suggestions and was supportive of any ideas that we had and was going to make sure our vision came to life. She was willing to go above and beyond just helping with the space by helping to coordinate with vendors on the wedding day and even had helped us find a DJ for a great price.

The prices for food/drink were fair, and so was the min spend. The upstairs space is amazing, and we truly wish we would have been able to have the wedding here. Would definitely recommend Trolley. I know if we decide to have a reception down the road we will choose Trolley as our venue.

Incredible, beautiful venue with amazing staff

We cannot say enough good things about our experience. We rented the upstairs space and it was just beautiful and the staff are amazing to work with. We've received so many compliments on our reception venue coffee. The level of professionalism and service rivals that of any high-end wedding venue, and to get that in the comfortable setting of a brewpub was absolutely perfect. Communication with our venue event coordinator, Lotus, was excellent and she ensured every detail was just as we wanted. Food and beverage was excellent, some of the best craft beer in the city! Food was fresh, hot, and delicious!

Incredible staff and beautiful venue

We had our June wedding reception here and we highly recommend it! The venue upstairs is stunning and a very unique space. All our guests adored having the reception at one of our favorite breweries. Trolley 5 has amazing service and flexibility. All the staff seriously go above and beyond! I worked lots with Ernie, the owner, to go over all the details and everything went perfectly smooth the day of. Our wedding ceremony took place outside but throughout the week of we thought it should be changed to inside because of the forecasted rain. We had decided the day before to keep the ceremony outside, but Trolley was prepared anyway! The morning of the wedding they set up the space for the ceremony in case we changed our minds last minute! They all go above and beyond here. You will not be dissapointed.

Best Value in Calgary

We hosted our wedding reception last weekend in the atrium at Trolley 5. We could not be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend this venue. A big shout out to Morgan (events manager), Ernie (owner), Dustin (events) and the entire service team who all went above and beyond to make our night a memorable one.

The room was cooled prior to arrival (during a heat wave), the DJ and photobooth that they arranged were fantastic. The drink and food service could not have been better and it is no exaggeration to say that every person in attendance said the food was incredible. We highly recommend the brisket and chicken, even our picky eaters thought the food was fantastic. They also catered to our guests with food allergies. The buffet was an excellent choice for our 70 guests and the kitchen re-stocked the food after each table went through to ensure everyone got a hot and fresh serving. The beers to wash it all down were tasty as well. We hosted a small ceremony at a different location earlier in the day and the coordination of our arrival at trolley 5 was smooth and easy. A large group of us stayed until after 2am and didn’t want the night to end. A special shout out to Dustin for being so attentive throughout the night.

We looked at many different venues for our wedding and truly think this venue provides exceptional value. Thank you again to the whole Trolley 5 crew for a perfect night.

Tied the knot!!

We tied the knot at Trolley5 on August 10th, 2024. It was an unforgettable day! Ernie, Dustin, and the staff went above and beyond in ensuring everything ran seamlessly before, during, and after the wedding. The food was exquisite, and their attention to detail in setting up the venue with our decorations was beyond compare. The staff's attentiveness, the delectable food, and the DJ's ability to keep the dance floor occupied all evening truly made our day remarkable. Our guests couldn't stop praising the food, the exceptional staff, and the flawless flow of the entire day. I can't stress enough how outstanding Trolley5 and its staff were in making our day absolutely incredible!
