Bridal Party

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Pioneer on 8th, and I can’t say enough about how impressive it is! The space is thoughtfully designed, offering three different levels that cater to a variety of needs and events. Whether you're looking for an intimate setting for a smaller gathering or a larger area to accommodate a crowd, this venue has it all.

The accessibility is top-notch, with an elevator making it easy for everyone to navigate the space comfortably. The location is also incredibly convenient, making it simple for guests to find and enjoy.

What truly stands out is the hospitality—the team goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is taken care of, leaving you feeling welcomed and valued. If you’re planning an event, I highly recommend checking out The Pioneer on 8th! It’s a perfect combination of style, functionality, and warm service."

We had our wedding ceremony at the Garret and a cocktail-style wedding reception at the Pioneer in February 2024 and everything was perfect. Great communication and support leading up to our big day and execution on the day of was flawless.

Both venues have such great vibes on their own that we really didn't need to do much from a decor perspective, and opted to just enhance the buildings' incredible features with lighting, florals and candles - though the possibilities are truly endless. We received feedback from our guests (many from out of town) that the location was great as it was easily accessible and it was fun to be right in the action on Stephen Avenue.

The service from the SugarWater team on the bar was excellent - though we had a crowd of big drinkers there was never a line at the bar and our guests loved not only the craft cocktails but the really thoughtful selection of wines and local beers and seltzers.

We would highly, highly recommend the Pioneer for a wedding or any other event, celebration or gathering. Thank you to the whole team!

On June 11 Epilepsy Association of Calgary hosted 130 guests, performers, artists and event volunteers and at its inaugural Purple Day by Night fundraising gala at The Pioneer. This was such a special night and the venue itself added to the magic of a bustling late spring evening on Stephen Avenue. Guests and event volunteers were pleased with all aspects of the event and we've booked the venue for 2023. Thank you Heather Coke and team for your patience and helpful guidance in making our night a success!

It was an absolute pleasure to provide technology for a private event for XERO here! Plenty of available circuits with good ampage, accommodating staff (particularly Wyatt), and reasonably good loading dock access (given it's downrown). Would be happy to work here again; thanks, folks! :)

Invited here for a live music event that turned out to be much more than we all thought it would be. We thought we were going to see four musicians play their sets, but instead for a musicians sat facing each other told a series of stories and then rift off each other for the entire evening in a delightful and experiential entertainment event. It's a beautiful space and I look forward to my next visit and Calgary to see what they might be hosting then.

This team is incredible! Carla was so informative when we were seeking advice and looking for a day of coordinator. Justin and the rest of the team made my wedding day a dream. I didn't have to worry about anything and they executed my vision for decor and the timeline without a hitch. Justin was so kind and attentive to us throughout the process and on the day of our wedding. I would not have been able to do it without them. Would 100% recommend booking their services for your wedding day! They took so much of my stress away 🤍

Trade Sensations was a dream to work with! We got married in August 2024 - and naturally we were a little sceptic using a company we found on the internet. From the lead up to the actual wedding day, their whole team showed up for us in a BIG way. They really made the entire day go smoothly, managing everything behind the scenes. My niece and nephew were the only kids that attended our wedding and our photographer caught a picture of the trade sensation team spending time with them to ensure they were occupied and enjoying themselves. Cannot thank these guys enough, and a special out to my homeboy Justin - he's amazing and don't have enough great things to say about him. HIGHLY recommend these guys! Thank you to the entire team!

My husband and I had the honor of working with Carla, CEO of Trade Sensations Events, for our wedding this past July. Along side her incredible team (shout out to Anvy!!!) they were able to capture AND deliver exactly our vision. They went ABOVE and beyond...every last detail was taken care of and we were genuinely left breathless, when we walked into our venue. It was truly a pleasure working with them. We HIGHLY recommend Trade Sensations to EVERY single couple getting married!!

Trade sensation was amazing they made our dream wedding possible. Carla, Anvy, Justin and Liz were a dream to work with and went above and beyond anything we could have ever ask for! We hired them for decor, floral and day of coordination! Everything was amazing from start to finish! I could not have imagined my wedding to be as beautiful as they made it! Let me tell you the best team every! They were with us ever step of the way supporting our vision. Our wedding was not perfect but they made it perfect let’s just say the band was 2 hours late and they were amazing in their support and coordination to make it as stress free as possible. All I can say is if you go with trade sensations you will be in the best hands and achieve the weddings of your dreams.

Thank you Trade Sensation Events for always being there for all my special events. I can't express enough what a pleasure it has been to have worked with the team and seeing how the decor team has always made my visions come to life. I recently had my daughters baptism and was so impressed walking into the room. It made my day that much more special to see the details in everything I had discusses with the decor team. Its always been a great experience and I can't thank you enough Carla for making my events that much more beautiful!!!!

Waterfront was a great choice for our day, we are very happy we chose this venue. Jade was great and thought of everything we needed. She helped us make sure the day ran smoothly and gave us lots of helpful tips. The staff was great at setting up the venue. The florals and decor provided by the venue was exactly what I wanted. The few things that didn't go perfectly, Simply Elegant made up for in a professional and timely manner. Would absolutely recommend this venue for any wedding!

Beautiful Spot, Slightly Off on Service Timing
Waterfront Park is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the views. The atmosphere is great, and overall, I had a really nice time. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I went to the bar at 5:28, and was asked to come back at 5:30. It felt a bit rigid considering it was just a 2-minute difference. Other than that, it was a great experience and I’d still recommend it!

I cannot recommend Waterfront Parks enough. Peter and Jade went well above and beyond, helping us plan a short notice wedding (we booked less than three months prior to the date in an effort to minimize covid related changes), navigating trying times, and providing unparalleled service. Jade is even pictures in our wedding photos adjusting my dress prior to walking down the isle, and Peter met us on the limo bus to help "hide" me from the guests prior to the service. They were like family throughout the process and I honestly don't think we would have pulled off the wedding of our dreams without them. The venue is stunning, location is ideal, the food was delicious (and catered to all sorts of weird dietary issues), and the decor was spot on. If you're thinking about booking waterfront parks with simply elegant, stop thinking and book it. You won't regret it!

Our son’s wedding was at the Waterfront Park Apr. 29th, it was absolutely amazing. The location is breathtaking even in early Spring, just imagine how stunning it will be in the summer…. Also included with the rental of the location is full set up and take down. The flowers were absolutely amazing. The staff from start to finish were so amazing, very responsive, very accommodating, and showed that they really care and want the best for their customers. I only added a picture of the brides bouquet as all of our other pictures have our guests in them, so sadly am not able to add any of the pictures to show how beautiful everything was set up for our son and now wife’s wedding day. The whole time there was magical. Everyone that attended was so impressed. Thank you

Had an event at the tent here. Amazing venue, tons of parking, friendly staff. Only downside we had access to only two bathrooms which with 100 people wasn’t ideal but made it work.

We had a wonderful celebration there for my brother’s wedding, and everything was absolutely perfect. The service was amazing — especially Noura, who is such an incredible person! She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right. We truly appreciate her kindness, professionalism, and care. Thank you for making this special day unforgettable!

I stayed at this hotel and was really happy with my experience.
Sunny is the great in management and so politely The service was excellent – the staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to help. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-organized, providing a relaxing atmosphere.

The food was also great. Breakfast was fresh and offered a good variety, and the dinner was delicious and well-prepared, showing real attention to quality.

Overall, this hotel stands out for its service, cleanliness, and food. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant stay.

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at White Diamond, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The venue is beautifully designed, offering a warm and elegant atmosphere perfect for both intimate and larger celebrations. The staff were incredibly attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly.

The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the menu! From the planning process to the big day, the team made everything stress-free and seamless.

Highly recommend this place for both dining and special events. A truly memorable experience!

Awesome! I had an amazing experience at this Middle Eastern restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors and perfectly prepared. The restaurant itself is spacious, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal with family or friends.

Another great thing is the location—it’s almost in the city center, making it easy to find. Plus, there’s plenty of parking nearby, so there are no issues with parking at all.

Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves great Arabic food and a welcoming atmosphere!

Had our wedding reception at White Diamond. The best thing was the food, 10/10. Adam the owner is very kind and has an amazing culinary background.
Issues we encountered - All service and business integrity related.
-We had roughly 200 guests and there were only 1-2 servers on the floor, our contract said there would be minimum 8 servers. No one to serve us any drinks either (bride and groom), had to get our own family members to bring us drinks
-Bar line ups were very long, 3 bartenders but looked like they were in training and very inefficient
-Tables were not cleared after dinner, 200 dirty plates were left on tables all night
-They tried blaming us for their old, malfunctioned elevator that none of our guests could use from the start during the entire event. They did not give our security deposit back for over a month overdue as the contract stated security deposit to be returned 2 weeks after event. After we questioned them and put out our witnesses/facts then we finally got our deposit back from one of the other employees who was very helpful. (We were sending emails and texts for over a month while getting ignored on this topic)

This is the constructive feedback I have for White Diamond. It is important to keep communication and integrity with a client to keep a business relationship on a high note.
Our wedding was very successful because of the heart and months of planning we put into it but the service could have been better.

Spectacular is the minimum you can say about this place. From the first impression of the exterior of the unique and charming restaurant to the minute you depart you know one thing, You're coming Back! The service is exceptional, never for one minute do you want for anything. Me and my wife were on vacation and ended our trip in Calgary and I decided we would try this restaurant based on their reviews. I expected a nice evening, but what we got was great ambiance, great food, large portions, expert presentation, great value, first class service and a new place to come every time we are in town. The Bow Valley Ranche is a must for anyone wanting to try Calgary's finest! A+! Btw: special thanks to Oskar for the best service in town!

Reserved a table for lunch and had a remarkable time. The restaurant was courteous and prompt with their staff being very attentive and kind.

Leading into wonderful food with a gorgeous view both in and around the wonderfully maintained historically significant building to the area.

We chose to be seated inside and the decor and atmosphere was both calm and quiet.

Now the food itself was also spectacular with rich flavours without any overbearing saltiness or any greasiness at all. The whole experience was great and the course was actually quite filling on top of it all!
This goes for all 4-5 dishes between my wife and I.

Took a nice walk to digest the food and enjoy the scenery with a quick trip through the native gardens leading to Annie’s cafe which in itself was a great lead up to a pleasant walk.

Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to start their morning off in Fish creek with pleasant food and mood.

Will be a staple for any future visits to Calgary

Absolutely adore this place! I took my husband here for his birthday a few months ago, and it was such a wonderful experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were simply amazing! I had the beef tenderloin, and I seriously have been thinking about it in my dreams. It is such a beautiful, historical building, making the ambience just impeccable. My husband and I were super full after our dinner, and we decided on not having a desert, and they even took the liberty of surprising us with a little plate of cakes! It was so sweet! My husband booked us our next visit for my birthday, which I’m counting down the days for! Thanks again for such a nice dining experience. We can’t wait to come back soon, and are looking forward to seeing the space in autumn.

We ordered the weekday lunch special. The salad dressing was amazing. For the second main dish, I chose the pork — it looked delicious, but unfortunately, it lacked flavor. There was some sauce on top, but it wasn’t enough. We asked the server for extra sauce, but he didn’t bring it. I didn’t want to eat my food cold, so we ended up asking for salt and pepper instead.

The dessert was good.

This restaurant is very popular, and I haven’t seen any other weekday special courses like this one. The price was very reasonable, but I was a little disappointed with the main dish.

The location is perfect — it was a great place for brunch with my best friend.

We went here to celebrate our anniversary, and really happy we did. It is an awesome place, the atmosphere is special and the service was amazing ❤️ We loved the food, the steak was delicious. I recommend this place, we had an amazing time there and would consider going again. We also received two pieces of cake as a compliment, it was unexpected and sweet!

I booked Brie & Banquet Wild Catering Co. for my baby shower and they completely blew me away! Working with their team was such a pleasure — the booking process was seamless, and they offered so many beautiful options to choose from.

The final setup was a stunning blue-themed floral spread inspired by high tea, and it exceeded all expectations. My guests and I were absolutely in love with both the presentation and the food — everything was incredibly delicious.

This is a 20/10 experience, and I would recommend them to anyone planning an event. I’ll definitely be using them again in the near future. A big thank you to Katie and her team for making my shower so special!

Katie, was here to set up the amazing grazing table for my daughters bridal shower and when she was done, it was spectacular and phenomenal. The guests were totally surprised and amazed to the detailed work she did. Using Brie & Banquet Wild Catering Co. for my daughters bridal shower made the day even more perfect! Thank you so much again and I will definitely use you again.

Wonderful display of delicious goodies for my daughter’s bridal shower. All the guests were enamoured by the flavours and presentation of all the food! I highly recommended Brie And Banquet Catering. Thank you for making this day so special.

Made a very special day even better. We used their services for the morning of my daughter's wedding as the bridal party was getting ready at our house. Katie arrived at 6:30AM and the display and food was absolutely amazing. Everyone was thrilled. Thank-you.

My mom & fiancé’s mom catered my bridal shower with Brie & Banquet & it was an absolute dream for me & all of our guests. I couldn’t have imagined a prettier display. They did an absolutely fantastic job setting up quickly before I arrived, and made the spread look like a dream with florals, and cute display cards. I highly, highly recommend this company!

Held my wedding here. My husband, family, and guests were all blown away by how cool this venue was. The staff were extraordinarily professional, friendly, and accommodating.

Here are some pictures of our first dance centered on the beautiful star inlay in the middle of the dance floor.

One of my favourite venues in Montreal. The decor and history take you back to a time where live entertainment was all we had.
The drinks and bar staff are fantastic!
Go see a show here!

Candle Night experience: it was great.. but a bit pricy! The place, the Jazz band, the set up with all the candles: such a lovely and romantic ambiance! Loved it!! But I would say that it was a bit pricy for exactly a 60min set (and the singer talked a lot between songs to tell us story which was great though). I wish they extend a bit the duration...that's it. But other than that, I highly recommend to live the experience!

Great place and great concert. The Aperol spritz had just the taste. I asked to fill with more Aperol. Thanks.

Saw the best stand-up comedy show there, the beautiful setting amplified a great show.

We attended a wedding at the Calgary Italian Cultural Centre last night and had an amazing experience. The service was top notch, especially Frank — he was very helpful, attentive, and truly a great guy. The food was absolutely delicious, making the evening even more memorable. Highly recommend this venue for any special event!

A group of High School graduates from 1976.
We routinely meet in the Cantina for lunch.

Awesome Italian dishes, great service. Our group is often 15 to 20 people. They handle that easily, even when it is near capacity with other diners.

La Cantina is tradtional with it's food and just as welcoming as any Nonna would be having you at her table. Nice variety of food and wine selection. Feels like home (without the plastic on the couch). One of our favourite go-to's.

We attended a beautiful event at the Calgary Italian Cultural Centre recently. The food was delicious and very generous in portions. You will not leave hungry!

There is a coat check available. But the parking can be the pits! There is parking right next to the building itself (get there EARLY if you want those spots) and also a parking lot right across the street. Both were filled by the time we arrived so we sought out street parking.

Very good service to host a wedding or a business event. The food is excellent, the facility is a bit outdated but on schedule to be modernized next year. Highly recommended!

I am so glad I chose Canvas to celebrate my wedding ceremony and reception . Best decision ever. The place is just so beautiful, intimate and rustic. The menu was the best everyone loved it. So delicious. We loved working with Mike and his team. They are the best. Very professional. Mike we love you. Thank you for everything. If we could we would give 100 stars.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Canvas in October 2024 and couldn't have been happier with the experience. Beautiful space located near the canal, which was great for pictures. Food was very good, highly recommend any of the delicious canapés! We loved the unique bring your own alcohol option and the bartender John was awesome throughout the night. Can't say enough about how accommodating and caring Mike and his entire staff were throughout the evening and planning process. Prices are very reasonable and Mike is transparent and clearly outlines everything from the start. Overall we had an amazing time and would highly recommend Canvas!

We had our wedding there last week and it was absolutely amazing. From the food to the staff, everything exceeded our expectations. We received very positive feedback from our guests on the food. The venue is beautiful on its own, very unique. The planning also went smoothly as the manager is experienced and knew to reassure us. Thank you so much!!

My mom and I did a brunch and paint and had an amazing time! The two girls were so helpful, and the painting class was SO approachable! Having both never painted before we were worried but we both left we something we totally love! Can’t wait to do another class.

We just had our wedding ceremony and reception at Canvas Montreal two weeks ago, and we could have not been more satisfied! Mike, he was fantastic at realizing all of our wishes and working together to create a unique space for our wedding! Carmen, John (the bartender) and the two other staff members that day/night were equally fantastic - keeping us and all of our guests happy throughout the entire evening! We cannot thank the staff enough for their kindness, laughter and the way they welcomed us. The space itself is beautiful, I call it a blank canvas. If you are someone who loves to make a space unique and your own, this cozy loft space is Perfect for you! And I should not forget to mention that the food was Delicious! All of our guests were happy to be served hot and tasty meals throughout our reception! We were 100 percent satisfied booking with Canvas for our special day. Not only were booking prices fair, but Mike was incredibly transparent with every single aspect of the space and the services they offer (which many other wedding venues which we researched hide their fees and services - Mike was always 100 percent and on the table). We felt so comfortable with him and his staff that I'm proud to say we would recommend Canvas to anyone as they make you feel comfortable, welcome and at home! Great food, welcoming atmosphere, and fantastic people! 10/10

Just had our wedding their this past weekend! Loved the layout of the venue. The manager, Kayla, is incredibly attentive, responsive, and accommodating. We had a lot of unique features to our wedding but Kayla and her staff were able to accommodate them all. The chef and staff are also incredibly kind and talented-- loved the set up our reception and ceremony, and the food was also great and very friendly for guests with allergy. Pricing is also very reasonable and love the location-- very convenient!

We recently had our wedding here! From the initial meeting, all the way to our wedding the Croatian Centre was amazing to work with. Kayla and her team really went above and beyond to make our day extra special. From having very particular requests from certain family members, the Croatian Centre was able to accommodate and make our lives easy. My husband and I could not be more grateful for everything they did for our special day.
I cannot thank and recommend them enough!

It was great working with them on my wedding day. Everything was smooth and as perfect and detailed as I wanted.

Also, the manager is so organized and was so communicative as well as responsive whenever I needed.

And their catering was so good that all the guests left with a positive comment.

Just recently had my wedding here and the staff, location and manager Kayla were amazing to deal with!!!! They made our room look amazing, the food was incredible and had so many positive feedback from family and friends of how wonderful the place was and how great the food tasted......definitely will recommend the Croatian Canadian Cultural Center to anyone looking for a venue in the future

We had our wedding reception at the Croatian Canadian Cultural Centre recently and I highly recommend it!! The Centre has beautiful decorations, fantastic food, and the staff was outstanding. Kayla was my main point of contact and she was incredibly helpful, easy to talk to, accommodating, and patient as she helped us sort out everything from decorations to picking out our food for our special day. She was also present the day of to make sure everything ran smoothly! We had a small hiccup the day of our wedding and Kayla was incredibly accommodating. She made planning and day of so easy for me! If you are looking for your venue for your wedding, look no further as this is the perfect place to have your wedding!

Simply amazing service! From ideas and planning to coordination and execution, food preparation to servers, decorations and lighting to music and entertainment, we got everything we asked for and so much more! (And a very special thank you to Lexane, our super professional and talented problem-solver extraordinaire!) Truly a 5-star service across the board! I look forward to working with Eventure again in the future. Thank you to the entire team at Eventure for making our event the most memorable party yet!

One stop shop to kick back and trust that your event is in the best and most practiced hands. Steve, I love you.

I met the Eventure Group in 2023 at the Upper Deck CDD conference they produced in Los Angeles, CA. I was so impressed with their work that I hired them to produce an industry event for my hobby shop in Montreal. They executed flawlessly! I just came back from the 2024 Upper Deck CDD conference in Orlando, FL and, once again, all expectations were exceeded. Definitely consider Eventure for any of your event production needs. From conception and ideation through on-site coordination, they can’t be beat!

If you're looking for a company that will help plan the destination wedding of your dreams, DON'T count on Mahla and her team to help you!  I had the misfortune of witnessing how unprofessional and rude Mahla can be towards her clients. Friends of mine who were recently married had hired Eventur to help guide them and plan their destination wedding as they liked what the company had posted on their IG account. They had beautiful images of beautiful brides and grooms at their destination wedding. These two friends of mine are not the planning time, hence the reason for wanting to hire a wedding planner. They hired Mahal a year before their scheduled wedding, which gave Mahla plenty of time to coordinate meetings with my friends. Three months before the wedding, the bride was getting worried as nothing had been done other than the wedding website, invitations and finding a destination for the wedding. Out of the 38 guests, only a select few actually booked through Mahla as it was cheaper for everyone to purchase their packages via Expedia or Sunwing.
I eventually went through the wedding planning with my friends, which I thought were basic things every wedding planner goes through with clients.
If you want someone to give you a full vision of your dream wedding and will guide you throughout the whole experience than DON'T BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY.
I suggest meeting with any company offering wedding services in person, see their portfolio and get testimonials from other couples and visit their social media accounts to ask others about their past experiences. It never hurts to ask questions as this is your wedding the most exciting time of your life! Think of questions and write them down and always document any interaction with business in regards to your wedding planning so that you have proof in case anything goes wrong. Go through contracts and read every detail! You don't want to get screwed.
Best of luck!

We planned two events this year with Eventure. Both of these were not large events and I was pleasantly surprised to see that we were treated as if were their most important customer. They were thoughtful, creative and detailed in every aspect. I'm really impressed. Thank you Eventure.

Writing this a year after my appointment at Grace Loves Lace, and I still think about how great the experience was. Asana was the best—super friendly and made me feel really comfortable. She encouraged me to try on a bunch of different styles, which was so helpful. I ended up choosing the Carmen dress with the Lumi veil for our destination micro wedding, and it was perfect. The dress was super comfy, flattering, and just felt like me. Honestly loved everything about it!

I had such a lovely experience at Grace Loves Lace! Although I was hesitant to try on dresses for the first time, Asana made me feel extremely comfortable and welcome. We were offered tea or bubbly upon arrival, which was a lovely surprise! The atmosphere was calming and the store was very clean. Although there's not a massive selection of dresses, it made the experience less overwhelming. If you are trying on dresses for the first time, or are a bride looking for a simple and comfortable dress, I would certainly recommend checking out Grace Loves Lace. Thanks again!

I had such a wonderful experience at Grace Loves Lace with Jazz as my stylist. I felt so warmly welcomed when I entered the salon with my mom, and was ushered into my change room, where I was offered a glass of bubbly, and had the cutest welcome message written on the mirror.
Jazz took her time to understand what I was looking for and what my vision was, and took her time explaining how the appointment would work.
Jazz made me feel so beautiful in the dresses that I tried on, and was very receptive to my feedback. I loved that they have a variety of sizing in the salon, so no clips were required and you can clearly visualize what you really look like in the dress.
We didn’t feel rushed at all - we had a one hour appointment booked but ended up being there for 1.5 hours with no issues.
While I ultimately did not buy my dress here, it was one of the best shopping experiences during the process and I did love the dresses.
Would highly recommend Grace Loves Lace and Jazz to all future brides!

My husband and I chose Grace Loves Lace for my wedding dress for our July 2024 wedding and couldn't be happier. The entire experience, from start to finish, was the best I've ever had. The body-positive atmosphere, exclusive use of the space, and champagne made it feel so special. The girls were incredibly supportive and clearly love what they do, without any pushy sales tactics. The dress itself was of incredible quality, and everyone is still talking about how stunning it was.

Okay first of all, the aesthetic of this showroom is absolutely gorgeous, I couldn’t get enough. You are treated so special here, the stylists attention is completely on you and they want to make sure you absolutely love the dress. I have visited numerous bridal shops and this is the first shop that took the time to take my complete measurements for their system in case I order made to order.
I worked with Farrah and Yasmine and they truly felt like friends by the end of the appointment, they were so kind, knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable.
I traveled a few hours to come here and am so darn glad I did. The dresses are all 10/10 it was hard to decide because I love them all. They make sure the dresses you try on actually fit so you’re not clamping the dresses. And the fabric of the dresses?! Omgsh they are so comfortable! I can’t wait to decide and order my dress for my wedding 🤍

My daughter and I had such a lovely experience at this beautiful bridal shop, thanks to the amazing Rina! She is incredibly sweet, helpful, and truly had my daughter’s best interest at heart—not something you see often in sales! There was zero pressure, and it was clear she genuinely cared about helping Krystal find her dream dress! Rina’s kindness and professionalism is really rare in this industry! I honestly wanted my daughter to find a dress there just because she was so wonderful! Very highly recommend this gorgeous boutique! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I would give Ivoire 1000 stars if I could!

I get married in October and my experience has been nothing short of absolutely amazing. From the minute I called Ivoire in 2024 (from Winnipeg!) and was connected with Rina, I knew it was going to be *the* place to say YES to the dress!

Not only did I find my DREAM dress at Ivoire, I was treated like family from our very first connection. When I brought in my friends and family to try on dresses last July, we were met with such kind, warm service. I then went back to Winnipeg until recently moving to Montreal and through the entire year Rina kept me sane - whether it was talking me off the ledge about if my dress was going to be the right size when we ordered it, to keeping me in the loop and video calling me when it arrived because I couldn't be there in person, Rina really went above and beyond!

Yesterday, I visited Ivoire for the final time and picked up my dress. Luda did an AMAZING job with the alterations as requested and I couldn't be more excited to walk down the aisle in October.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Rina & Luda, for making my experience so genuine, loving, and filled with excitement.

I really loved my experience with Giovanna and Rina. They make you feel comfortable and give good advice for wedding dresses. They really take their time with you and are very flexible.

First store, first dress: love at first sight! 💖 Rina knew exactly what I needed. She could read my body language and instantly understood how I felt. So delicate, so sophisticated — that’s Rina and her dresses. I found THE dress, and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone! Thank you again Rina.

Deserves more than 5 stars!!
As a 2026 Bride, I had a fantastic experience at Ivoire. Giovanna gave exceptional service and made us feel like family. So so happy I said Yes to the dress at this boutique!

Every year, our community hosts its annual party at this incredible event center, and I can’t speak highly enough of it. In fact, I was so impressed by the venue that I chose it for my own wedding—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. The affordability is a major plus, especially considering the quality and range of amenities offered. The halls are beautifully designed with a sleek, modern aesthetic, and the space includes a stage that’s perfect for performances, speeches, or entertainment.
Beyond the decor and layout, the venue is fully equipped to handle all aspects of event hosting, including catering services. And let me tell you—the food is absolutely phenomenal. It was the standout feature of my wedding, with guests still talking about how delicious everything was. The catering is not only top-notch in taste and presentation but also reasonably priced, which makes it even more appealing.
Overall, this venue truly offers a comprehensive solution for any kind of gathering, whether it’s a wedding, party, or corporate event. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish, functional, and budget-friendly place to host their special occasion.

I was at an event that rented the space and it was such an amazing venue! Comfortable but spacious, beautiful architecture inside honestly. I wondered why I hadn't been to an event there before or even known it was an option. If you're looking for a space with a nice dance floor for your next event absolutely consider the Polish Canadian Cultural Centre

My wife and I held our wedding reception in the new Combatants hall in May of 2025. Prices here are quite reasonable, and Krzysztof and Elizabeth were both very helpful and accommodating. We made many last minute changes and had many requests that made the event more complicated for the venue. They were very patient and accommodating right through to the end of the event, checking in with me periodically to make sure everything was going smoothly. I would recommend the Polish Centre to anyone in need of an upscale venue to hosting an event.

My wife and I had our wedding reception in the Combatants Hall last summer and we were very pleased with everything. We received tons of compliments about the food and decor. The dance floor was a great size and the hall accommodated 120+ people without issue. Krzysztof was great to deal with and helped us with planning so everything went smoothly. I highly recommend checking this venue out if you're looking for a reception hall.

We cannot say enough great things about Krzysztof and the incredible team at the Polish Cultural Centre! From start to finish, their professionalism, dedication, and seamless communication made planning our wedding reception an absolute joy. Every question we had was promptly answered, ensuring we felt confident and stress-free leading up to our big day.

The venue itself was fantastic—spacious, elegant, and perfect for hosting a celebration that will be remembered for years to come. But what truly set this experience apart was the phenomenal food (Renata & Magdalena, BAR service (Leszek, Servers & Kitchen team)! Our guests were delighted by the delicious menu, and we can confidently say that everyone left feeling full and satisfied.

A special shoutout to the kitchen team (Renata, Magdalena, Teresa) who went above and beyond to keep everything organized, ensuring smooth service throughout the evening. Their efficiency allowed us to fully enjoy our celebration without worrying about logistics.

If you are looking for an exceptional venue with outstanding service, great pricing, and a team that genuinely cares about making your event unforgettable, look no further than the Polish Cultural Centre. Thank you for a truly wonderful experience—we will enthusiastically recommend this venue to others!

Marta & Kyle – May 2025

One of the best intimate spots in Toronto to celebrate and hosts events for our corporate holiday party this year. Anil, Liz and the entire team at SPACE were amazing from beginning to end to ensure our vision to appreciate each and everyone of our employees were met. They exceeded our expectation by ensuring the entire SPACE felt like it was personalized just for US. Will definitely be looking to host something there again!

One of the most beautiful and versatile event spaces I've seen in the city.

It's unique historical features on the outside are still felt on the interior of this recently updated, multi level and functional event space.

It has a modern, bright and almost gallery feel to it. The 2 story windows flood the space with amazing natural light, which was perfect for shooting photography.

It just has an overall great urban vibe. It can easily be transformed into some most incredible and vibrant event spaces.

Working with SPACE founders Anil and Liz on several small projects has been an absolute pleasure.

Loved the space in Space. Spacious! Has a great vibe. Attended a friend’s birthday celebration. Would just like them to better utilise the Space. Add more seating. Some huge indoor plants. Also a better bar area would be good. But besides all this, the place is still great. Would I have an event of my own here? Yes, without a doubt!

Super cozy place..I attended one of the ikea exhibit here which was cool..the space is quite spacious with lots of daylight.the food served here was delicious. Things were organized in a manner like you are at home.

I have attended Space on king on a couple of occasions. One was the Vintage Pop up market which was a lot of fun. The Venue is in an up and coming area or Cork Town.(Berkley and King) Door person greeted us. Well organized with Lots of interesting vendors, eclectic, unique finds that make shopping fun again, especially with all the restrictions. Tall celings, lots of light, different levels and a real positive energy.. Capuccino's upstairs with cookies!!. I m looking forward to the next one coming up Feb 20!! Not to be missed SPACEONKING...Check it out

The other time was by there was for a Sweet 16 SleepOver Party that was simply amazing. There was a huge ball pit for the girls and beds set up for the sleep over. The creative genius that came up with this should be complemented and applauded. Creative, innovative, unique and simply brilliant. The only thing I can say is I wish I was 16 all over again!! The SPACEONKING venue and event space is flexible and unique and coupled with the creative minds behind this concept ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE...Check out some photos of this jaw droping partyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

We rented chairs for our wedding from Special Event Rentals and had a wonderful experience. Nice chairs MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Worth every penny. Special shout out to Debbie who was always kind and great to connect with even though I had endless questions and little changes. Another shout out to the delivery folks who were perfectly on time and to the warehouse staff. We returned our chairs via uhaul and the warehouse staff gave great instructions to make sure everything was returned perfectly. The chairs are so nice and they weren't heavy, I was able to help organize them at/after the event, and at the same time they were sturdy and durable. We went with the chiavari mesh back chairs and they matched the fall cozy fairy vibe I was going for. Thank you!

Thank you Jamie & Team for taking the time to help us select the perfect decor for our special day. Jamie was extremely supportive and kind, as she helped us plan out every detail. Your time and energy is greatly appreciated!

We received many compliments on our rentals including the string lights, table decor, and linens. Thank you again for helping us bring our vision to life!

Weekend pricing was a crazy amount at $459 for both drop off and pickup. So I made arrangements to have pickup on the Monday, to save some money. I had to fight to get anything back. and it was not what I expected at all... At least the setup crew was great and quick.
Kim was so unprofessional. Was even going to give me the wrong size tables when they had the correct size. Never use them again.

The team at Special Event Rentals Calgary is beyond wonderful. I cannot thank them enough. From Ms. Kim who managed all of our rental bookings and changes without one misstep, to the team in the warehouse who work so hard to make sure nothing is missed, all the way to the drivers Dale and Manelo who dealt with on the spot changes when they arrived to deliver at the venue.

Our school graduation was perfect because of the exceptional team at SER Calgary. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything, you help us create a beautiful and memorable event.

Fantastic team at Special Event Rentals, Edmonton! Katy is wonderful to work with when building a quote/selections. All items are always delivered within the agreed upon delivery time, and in tip top shape. Highly recommend this team for your event rental requirements.

I recently had a wedding event at The Baron and had an absolute amazing experience. From inquiring about the event to executing it, it was perfect. Thr staff was super accommodating especially with last minute changes. The food was incredible! They helped with setup and take down and did everything to ensure we had a great experience.

The price point is ideal for small to large groups. Plenty of hotels close by with an added discount. My out of town guests were close to the airport and major highways

Ill 100% use this venue again and will hire them for catering events also!

Thanks again to the team at Baron!!

Great space for a wedding. Staff was friendly with everyone, and the food was delicious. Plenty space for parking.

I cannot say enough good things about this space and the team at The Baron. From the moment I reached out and even after our event Shae, Sarah and her team have been so highly organized, friendly, and supportive.
I hosted our company awards gala at this space in February and was so happy with how everything turned out! The staff had everything organized ahead of time and were so easy to work with. We encountered some sound issues during our presentation which the staff helped out tremendously with. The food and drinks were lovely and our attendees loved how much parking was available!
We’re excited to host our 2025 events with them!

The Baron was amazing to work with for our October wedding! The space checked off all the boxes for the mood of our wedding. The food was so delicious and had a great variety to choose from. The staff was always responsive and provided top-tier service. Highly recommend if you are looking for an intimate gathering for a great price!

My program's graduation party was held at the Baron and it was such a wonderful event. The venue itself is a fantastic space - very intimate yet open. Both before and during the event the staff were incredibly helpful, had great communication, and took care of all details. Guests raved about the buffet and were so impressed with how well the kitchen accommodated a variety of dietary restrictions including halal, vegetarian, gluten free, nut free, and lactose intolerant. Everyone was also really happy with the variety of drinks and pricing at the bar.
Thanks to the whole team at the Baron for providing our class with such an excellent celebration!

I highly recommend checking out the Bridal Centre. It’s a very beautiful venue. I had my appointment with Katie. She was very kind and helpful. She gave suggestions for alterations to make the dresses look and fit the way I envisioned. This was my first dress appointment and I found the one. I will be using some of Katie’s ideas for the alterations as well. Thank you so much for making me feel comfortable and finding my dress :)

Cecilia was WONDERFUL!! I am so happy she was the one helping me find my wedding dress! Cecilia knew exactly what I was looking for and pulled the most beautiful dresses for me to try on, all while making sure myself and my group were taken care of. It was a lovely experience, and I would definitely recommend booking!

Excellent place for anything wedding or graduation dresses. The seamstress that did the alterations was amazing and even went above and beyond. She fixed the flower on my daughter's bridal shoes. She also taught my other daughter the miad of honour how to fix the bustle on her wedding dress. We are so pleased that we choose The Bridal Centre in Calgary for my daughter's special day!

Cecilia was AMAZING!! Truly I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience trying on dresses for the first time. Listened to everything I was saying and asking, and truly focused on me throughout the whole appointment. Gave me alternate options and was able to give me options and show me different ways to change dresses and make a dress exactly my dream dress!! Would recommend to EVERYONE I know !! (:

Using my fiances gmail to write this review - I had a bridal appointment with Diana and needless to say she was absolutely wonderful. So lovely, kind and supportive. The selection was amazing and she pulled all the right dresses for me. Overall an incredible experience and would absolutely recommend brides in Calgary come here!

An Absolutely Incredible Wedding Venue - Everything Was Perfect!

We had our wedding at the Okotoks Ranch House on July 5, 2025 and it was truly the most amazing experience from start to finish. We wanted a venue with rustic charm and the Ranch House had it all.. The Ranch House is absolutely beautiful - full of rustic charm, surrounded by nature and with such warm and inviting atmosphere. It was the most beautiful backdrop for our wedding day.

The food was outstanding - our guests are still raving about it! We had the prosciutto chicken and 3 types of salads. Every bite was delicious. Chris is an amazing chef!

A huge shout out to Kristal, who was so wonderful to deal with throughout the entire planning process. She was always quick to respond to my many emails and made sure everything ran smoothly. Her professionalism, efficiency, and kindness really helped take the stress out. I can tell she truly cares about you.

We honestly can't recommend the Ranch House enough. It was everything we dreamed of for our wedding.

Thank you for helping us create such unforgettable memories! ❤️

Melissa & Jason Dubè

I recently just got married here and I have nothing but good things to say about this place! Kristal is so kind and patient. She answered my many emails with many questions. Highly recommend, bonus the in house catering is awesome too. The food was delicious! Our guests had nothing but good things to say about the whole venue and the food.

An adorable venue with welcoming owners who will go above and beyond for your big day! This private property is ideal for your wedding away from the busy city and it provides the perfect landscape for photos! I am looking forward to coming back for more weddings

The Ranchouse is a beautiful wedding venue and I couldn’t be happier with our choice. The food was delicious and I liked how we had the indoor and outdoor space. Kristal was very communicative, always answering my questions promptly. Our guests also loved the venue which we got lots of compliments for. I would def Italy recommend!

We had a beautiful and memorable experience at Bridalane! Lisa is a wealth of good ideas, tips and information and is so patient, kind and has a great sense of humour. Her expertise was so appreciated. My dress arrived and I am so happy! We would recommend Bridalane 100%! Thank you Lisa and Jeff!

A hidden gem! My mother in law and I had a great experience at Bridalane. Lisa is so full of great tips, she’s patient and was great to work with. Definitely recommend coming here.

Had a fantastic experience at Bridalane! They have a huge selection of dresses with lots of unique options at all different price points, and I ended up purchasing something I don't think I could have found anywhere else! A great place to check out if you don't want a white dress. ;)

Lisa was wonderful to work with, she was so knowledgeable and never once pressured me into buying (in fact, encouraged me to look more because I was pretty set in what I liked lol) Jeff and Lisa have made such a friendly, stress-free environment and I can't recommend them enough!

Wedding dress shopping can be quite stressful but then i found Bridalane! Lisa was so easy to work with and so helpful. I never felt pressured or rushed. She was always so friendly, funny and always in a good mood! I strongly recommend them for anyone looking for an amazing experience with wedding dress shopping. Thank you Lisa!

Update: Better late than never 🤗 My wedding dress made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I couldn’t have been happier ♥️ Thank you again Lisa 🥰

I had the most incredible experience at Bridalane thanks to Lisa! She helped me find my wedding dress, and I couldn't be happier! Lisa's knowledge of the dresses was astounding — despite the huge selection, she knew exactly which ones would fit my style and preferences.

What really stood out to me was her patience and understanding of my tight budget. Lisa never once made me feel uncomfortable about it; instead, she worked hard to find options that not only matched my budget but also made me feel special. Her attention to detail and dedication to making sure I was happy with my choice truly made all the difference.

It might be important to note that I had gone to ~several~ other bridal shops and the experience elsewhere was far from enjoyable. Bridalane was a game changer for me and I highly recommend it!
