Beautiful location and venue

Gabrielle was so fantastic to work with. This is a beautiful venue full of rustic charm.

We had a tent outside which made for a lovely indoor outdoor celebration. We love this spot!!

You canโ€™t beat the venue, location and price!

Breathtaking and Iconic

SAP was the most stunning venue to have our wedding. The grounds were impeccable, the views were fantastic and the facility was iconic. Gabrielleโ€™s attention to detail on the entire site was extraordinary. She was very responsive to any request we had and always made time to meet with us at the site when requested.

All of our guests raved about the property as it is truly a hidden gem. We would highly recommend this as a venue for an amazing wedding experience!

Beautiful rustic venue and spacious outdoor area

This venue is a hidden gem in the heart of Calgary, overlooking the Elbow river. My husband and I enjoyed working with Gabrielle, the venue coordinator - she was very hardworking, organized, funny and kind. Very flexible with us in light of COVID and all the disruption.

Amazing hidden gem ๐Ÿ’Ž

Gabrielle the hall manager is FANTASTIC!
From start to finish she was able to answer any and all questions, and we were lucky to have had our wedding here.

It's a true hidden gem in the middle of Calgary. Included a great green space, deck and upper and lower hall.
Perfect for an intimate wedding!
