Kimberley Conference & Athlete Training Centre

A mountain wedding does not need to lose the mountains once everyone comes indoors.

At Kimberley Conference & Athlete Training Centre, enormous windows and the East Kootenay setting keep the landscape close while providing the space and infrastructure of a purpose-built event facility.

The main ballroom can accommodate several hundred guests banquet-style, making it one of the more flexible large wedding spaces in the region.

Natural timber brings warmth to the interior, while mountain views beyond the glass prevent the room from feeling like an ordinary convention hall.

For couples with substantial guest lists, that combination can be especially valuable.

There is room for dinner, speeches, entertainment and a proper dance floor without asking everyone to crowd together.

Additional breakout rooms and a large pre-function area create useful spaces for the smaller parts of the day, from family preparation to cocktails and vendor needs.

Professional event staff can also assist with room setup, food and beverage service, technology and logistics.

Then there is Kimberley outside the doors.

Mountains, forest and the relaxed character of the Kootenays give couples endless possibilities for the rest of the wedding weekend and for photographs that could not belong anywhere else.

Inside, everyone has somewhere comfortable to celebrate.

Outside, British Columbia does the decorating.
