WEDDING PACKAGE
Your Wedding at
BUFFALO MOUNTAIN LODGE
Thank you for your interest in Buffalo Mountain Lodge. We would like to take
this opportunity to introduce you to our lodge.
The Rocky Mountains have long been an area of great significance to our native peoples. The valleys were places
of ceremony and celebration. The lakes and mineral springs, places of rejuvenation for mind, body and spirit.
Near the center of what is now Banff lies a mountain the early visitors knew as “Sleeping Buffalo”. Buffalo Mountain
Lodge is set amidst the beautiful tall pines of this mountain environment, just minutes away from shopping and
the nightlife of Banff Avenue.
We have 108 guest rooms – 48 of which are our Premier units decorated with a king, queen or 2 queen size beds,
natural fieldstone fireplaces, oversized baths featuring claw-foot soaker tubs, heated slab flooring and either a
balcony or patio. The Lodge rooms are furnished with bent willow, pine furniture, feather duvets and have natural
fieldstone fireplaces. Our spacious Buffalo Rooms, equipped with 2 queen beds or one king bed and a kitchenette, are
perfect for those with young families. Our recreational facilities include a Steam Room, Gym and Outdoor Hot Tub.
The Main Lodge is built of hand-hewn timbers and has a massive fieldstone fireplace, high open beam ceilings, a cozy
lobby bar and historic antiques. The dining room in the Main Lodge features flavorful “Rocky Mountain Cuisine” and
an award winning wine list.
In the summer of 1998 we added a new Conference Center – the Wapiti-Longhouse and Wine Cellar. Its magnificent
views coupled with vogue décor make this a picture perfect place for a wedding, training session or a corporate
getaway. Alternative room options include our vaulted-ceiling Wainwright Room with outdoor patio, second-level
Strathcona Room with balcony, and independent Cascade – ideal for small groups and/or breakout sessions. If
interested in an intimate, casual setting our Mountain Café Cilantro is available during nonpeak dates.
In the winter, there are miles of cross-country ski trails. Buffalo Mountain Lodge is a 15-minute walk to the center of
Banff or to the Banff Center. Nearby are world famous downhill ski areas at Mount Norquay, Sunshine and Lake
Louise. Summer in Banff offers a variety of outings to choose from, including hiking, biking, rafting, horseback riding
and golfing.
Attached is our Wedding Planner package complete with room descriptions, room rental fees, and menus. If you
require additional information or have any questions, you can contact us directly. It would be our pleasure to assist
you to plan this very special day at Buffalo Mountain Lodge.

HELPFUL HINTS TO MAKE YOUR WEDDING
A SUCCESS IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES
The weather here is known for its drastic, unpredictable changes. It is recommended to have a
back up plan in the event of snow or rain if you are planning to hold your Ceremony outdoors
There are various places for the Ceremony and pictures around Banff. You are welcome to
hold your Ceremony in the same room as your reception /dinner. After the Ceremony we ask
that your guests depart the room for 2 hours in order for our staff to successfully complete the
room set-up and keep the dinner running on time.
Your function room will be set-up with the appropriate tables, chairs, linens (white) and
settings. The Lodge is very unique in the aspect that decorations are not needed.
Simple flowers and candlelight are all that you need to enhance the atmosphere. All rooms
are tastefully decorated and offer natural lighting, art or other decorative wall hangings.
It is strongly recommended to offer hors d’oeuvres to your guests during a Reception period,
especially if a Host bar is in effect.
Upon booking, the Conference Coordinator has various names of photographers, DJs, florists,
etc to help you get on your way. The Bride and Groom are responsible for the booking of
these services.
The Conference Coordinator, after helping you select the room that is suitable for your special
day, will assist you with the menu and wine selections.
If you have any questions at any time, please feel free to call 403.762.2400.
We look forward to hosting your special day here at Buffalo Mountain Lodge.
