Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

Few places are as instantly recognizable as the shore of Lake Louise, with its turquoise water and the Victoria Glacier at the far end.

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise stands on that shore, offering couples a wedding where one of the Rockies' most famous views becomes part of the day.

The hotel offers two wedding venues. One features an outdoor terrace ceremony with Lake Louise as the backdrop, followed by a ballroom reception. The other offers an equally refined indoor ceremony and reception within the ballroom spaces.

Event spaces include the Victoria Ballroom, the Mount Temple Ballroom, Heritage Hall, the Pipestone Room and the Lakeview Terrace, along with smaller rooms such as the Saddleback Trail Room.

The Mount Temple Ballroom seats up to 600 guests for a banquet, and the Victoria Ballroom up to 370, so the Chateau can host anything from an intimate celebration to a very large wedding. In all, the hotel lists room for up to 850 guests.

Couples can create a bespoke wedding menu with the hotel's culinary team, and a dedicated staff of wedding professionals helps plan and carry out the day.

Guests can stay right at the hotel, with rooms ranging from Fairmont King rooms to lakeview accommodations and signature suites.

For couples who picture a grand mountain wedding with the lake and glacier just beyond the terrace, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise offers a celebration of real occasion.
