Temple Gardens Hotel & Spa

A wedding at Temple Gardens Hotel & Spa can begin with everyone arriving in downtown Moose Jaw and end with almost nobody needing to leave.

This is one of those places where the wedding can become an entire little escape rather than a few carefully scheduled hours.

The hotel welcomes celebrations from intimate gatherings of around 14 people to weddings of up to 220, giving couples room to choose a celebration that actually feels like them.

At the heart of it is the hotel's distinctive two-level ballroom, creating a reception setting with more dimension than the traditional four walls of a hotel function room.

Then there is everything surrounding the wedding.

Temple Gardens is home to its famous geothermal mineral pool and thermal spa, which means the hours before and after the celebration can become part of the experience too.

Guests arrive and check in.

Friends disappear to the mineral pool.

Family members find one another in the hotel.

Somewhere upstairs, dresses are being steamed, suits are being hung and the couple is trying very hard not to look at the clock every three minutes.

Then the wedding begins.

The hotel's dedicated planning team helps carry the practical details behind the scenes, while on-site catering brings dinner into the wider celebration.

Outside, nearby park surroundings give couples another setting for photographs before everyone gathers again for the reception.

Dinner becomes speeches.

Speeches become music.

Eventually the ballroom looks considerably less orderly than it did when the doors first opened, which is exactly how a good wedding should end.

And when the last song finally plays, the newlyweds do not have far to go.

Temple Gardens currently includes a suite for the couple on the night of their reception, while guests staying at the hotel can simply head upstairs.

Tomorrow there may be another swim in the mineral pool, breakfast and a few stories about whatever happened on the dance floor.

Tonight, everyone gets to stay right where the wedding happened.

For couples who want their Moose Jaw celebration to feel like a getaway without asking everyone to travel between a ceremony, reception, hotel and spa, Temple Gardens brings almost the entire weekend together in one place.
