Sirocco Golf Club

There is a point just outside Calgary where the city begins giving way to rolling foothills and the Rocky Mountains appear in the distance.

That is the landscape surrounding Sirocco Golf Club.

Couples can exchange vows outdoors overlooking the 18th green, with the Foothills and mountains behind them and space for up to approximately 175 guests.

There is an indoor ceremony option too, where warm wood details, a fireplace and broad landscape views create a beautiful backup or a more intimate setting for up to approximately 100.

After the vows, guests can begin cocktails while the newlyweds wander across the property for photographs.

For a few minutes, the mountains are simply there behind them.

No backdrop needed.

Then everyone gathers inside the upper-level banquet hall, where celebrations of up to approximately 175 guests can continue with the surrounding landscape still visible through the windows.

Dinner begins.

The daylight softens.

Eventually the foothills disappear into evening while the room becomes louder.

For couples who want Alberta scenery without travelling far from Calgary, Sirocco offers a wedding where the mountains, fairways and open sky remain part of the day from beginning to end.
