The Perfect Venue!
We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at this venue, and I can't recommend it highly enough! The views are absolutely stunning, providing a beautiful backdrop for any occasion. Teha was a fantastic point of contact throughout the planning process. Her communication was clear and timely, ensuring that all our needs were met seamlessly.
The team at the venue was incredibly friendly and attentive, making everyone feel welcome. The highlight of the event was undoubtedly the food—everyone is still raving about it! The prime rib was especially memorable, cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Overall, the experience was top-notch, and I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a remarkable event space. You won't be disappointed!

Perfect venue!
Our wedding at Norquay in the Lone Pine room was nothing short of amazing. Teha and the whole team are clearly highly experienced in running weddings, anticipating our needs and accommodating all requests. The service team went above and beyond to keep the evening running smoothly. We received endless compliments on how seamlessly everything ran, thanks to the venue and Norquay team. The lodge provided a beautiful, comfortable space for guests, and the resort was a perfect backdrop for photos. The food was incredible—planning with Teha was super easy and guests RAVED about each course. We could not have been happier with choosing Norquay.

Exceptional staff !
The manager was more than accommodating when our planner forgot to tell them a few details ( like champagne bottles at the head table) he went out of his way to get those bottles and upgraded a bottle to a very nice expensive one. He also went out of his way to get the chefs to make some chicken fingers and french fries for all the kids that were under 6 that attended (they weren't into the fancy food) that our wedding planner also forgot to mention to him that it would be kids meals. End of the day he and his staff for the reception were exceptional! We were absolutely thrilled that the were able to do everything in a quick pinch and we're appreciate it !

Great hidden Gem!
My daughter and now husband chose Mt. Norquay for their wedding venue after looking at several locations in Banff and Canmore. Mt. Norquay was their last visit and were so pleasantly surprised! They loved the drive up, the mountain views, the venue space itself, the fact that it was an intimate and private setting and that it also happened to be the most reasonably priced. And then meeting with the event manager, Teha, confirmed their decision. My daughter said she was on time (not the case everywhere), could answer every question they had and was completely straightforward as to what the venue offered. Once the decision was made to book with My. Norquay, Teha and her team continued to be incredibly responsive in every way - she responded to very single inquiry within a day (sometimes even on weekends, which wasn’t at all required), gave lots of helpful suggestions based on her experience and tried to accommodate each of our requests to personalize the menu and venue space specific to our needs. We cannot say enough about Teha as the manager of Mt. Norquay, the bar and food staff and the venue itself - everything was clean and spacious and it was so comforting knowing that if the weather didn’t cooperate, we had a back up indoor space onsite. The space isn’t air conditioned, but was comfortable enough during dinner- a bit warm early on dancing, but the spacious deck was a great place to hang out until it cooled off. Everyone was on the dance floor soon enough. Thanks again to everyone for making the day so special for my daughter and for giving us every confidence that any situation would be dealt with in a professional manner. We would 100% recommend Mt. Norquay as the location for a Banff wedding. Teha, I will say it again…you ROCK!

Cannot say enough good things!
Mount Norquay was an absolutely incredible venue for our wedding. Not only was it stunning, but the staff were very helpful, Teha is extremely knowledgeable and a quick communicator, and the cost was reasonable. I will 100% recommend this venue to other brides.

Perfect day
We could not have asked for better from Norquay! Everything was done exactly as they said it would be, they were incredibly helpful when it came to set-up and tear-down of the decorations, and Teha really knows her stuff! I found her very knowledgeable and helpful as we planned.

Amazing venue!
We had the most magical day possible at Norquay. Teha and her team are absolutely incredible. We had such a stress-free time planing our wedding because Teha was there to help and support the whole time. She answered countless questions and was absolutely 100% dedicated to ensuring that WE had an amazing time as well as our guests. Even when things went awry (torrential downpour when we were supposed to get married outside), the Norquay team sprung into action, switched our ceremony site to indoors, and continued to make sure all our guests were comfortable, happy, and well served! The bar staff and servers were also amazing and provided top tier service. The food was also amazing!
Highly recommend getting married at Norquay, we had the time of our life.

Best wedding location!!
We can't even put into words how happy we are with how our wedding day turned out! Due to covid, we had been working with Teha for two years planning this day and she was always very responsive, honest, and helpful. On our wedding day, the team at Mt. Norquay had everything down to perfection - the setup, the food, drinks, shuttle - everything was PERFECT! We experienced the random mountain downpours and as soon as the rain stopped the Norquay team was out on the patio drying all the furniture so guests could be outside.
We are so pleased with our experience and truly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a mountain wedding.

Perfect Stress Free Wedding!
Our day went so seamlessly it was almost unbelievable.... except for the fact that perfection was guaranteed after meeting Teha and her team.
The venue, Teha, and her staff made this special day a dream! Teha was quick to answer every email I sent with helpful advice and reassurance. We showed up for rehearsal with everything in its place and only had to set up the decor. Our outdoor ceremony had all of the chairs already set up and take down was sooo simple, all we had to do was pick up our decor!
Ross and his bartending team were so kind and helpful. The serving staff always made sure we had our glasses full and anything we needed. The shuttles ran right on time and made sure all of our stragglers were aboard at the end of the night. The food was delicious! The steak was so tender I couldn't believe the quality for the number of guests. Nothing but amazing things to say about this venue and team, I could go on forever.
BOOK THEM for your wedding if you want everything to be perfect, on time, and completely stress-free!
Not to mention the stunning views, our photos from up the chairlift are breathtaking!
