Solara Resort

At Solara Resort, a wedding comes with the Canadian Rockies rising all around, so the mountains feel like part of the guest list.

The resort sits in the lively town of Canmore, a short drive from Banff National Park. Its event venue, Mainspace, pairs a modern industrial look with a warm mountain feel and is set up for weddings, celebrations and parties.

Couples can exchange vows with sweeping mountain views as the backdrop, then carry on the celebration in the same space without anyone needing to travel between venues.

Guests can stay right on site in condo style suites with one, two or three bedrooms. Each suite has a full kitchen, in-suite laundry, a fireplace and a private balcony or patio looking out to the peaks, which makes it easy for families and wedding parties to settle in together for the weekend.

Between celebrations, guests can unwind in the heated pool and hot tub, use the sauna and fitness centre, or head out to explore the trails and towns of the Rockies.

For couples who picture saying their vows with mountain peaks behind them and their favourite people staying just steps away, Solara Resort offers a Canmore wedding that doubles as a Rocky Mountain getaway.
