Wedding Vendors in Strathmore

Over the course of approximately a year, Whitnee from 104.5 More Country has been my source for advertising information & advice. She seems to be truly dedicated to the success of my business by observing my needs and then recommending services or products provided by GoldenWest or Homefield. A true win/win!

Whitnee was instrumental in starting the conversation on providing a new website for my business. Once the process started, I was impressed with her dedication to ensuring the details that were promised were ultimately provided and that all of the details were correct.

The radio advertising has increased my overall exposure to the Strathmore & area market. Specifics are hard to measure but customers, friends & colleagues mention hearing the advertising and particularly appreciate the "Ask an Expert" segments.

I truly appreciate my ongoing relationship with Whitnee from GoldenWest & Homefield. She has been an asset to the overall marketing of my brand.

Whitnee has been instrumental in developing our marketing plan. Her enthusiasm, knowledge, attention to detail and responsiveness has made her an ease and a joy to work with. We look forward to developing a creative and effective marketing plan with Whitnee and her team.

Highly recommend the advertising team in Strathmore. They listened to our businesses needs and provided great value. Definitely go see Whitnee and the team!

We do radio and online advertising with 104.5 More Country & StrathmoreNow.com as well as had them create and build our website. Our original website went down unexpectedly and Kim at Strathmore Now caught it and informed us right away. We didn't realize they offered website services. They got us back up and running on line in no time. Kim is so thorough and on top of everything. I would highly recommend giving Kim a call to see what 104.5 More Country & StrathmoreNow.com can do for you.

great plaza. rogers store in the plaza has amazing service. coop is amazing.

5 Stars – Exceptional Personal Service!

I had an outstanding experience at 5 Star Formals by Derks, and I absolutely have to shout out Maricar and Kiara—the mother-daughter duo who made it all happen! These two are the ones to look for. They have an incredible eye for fashion and detail, and they nailed my measurements perfectly. Their care and attention made the entire process smooth, professional, and even fun.

You can tell they genuinely love what they do and take pride in making every client look and feel their best. Kudos to the whole team!

Pro tip: Bring snacks or treats—these hardworking ladies truly appreciate it, and it’s a small gesture that goes a long way. Also, don’t forget to leave a well-deserved tip to show your gratitude!

Thanks again, Maricar and Kiara—you made me feel like a million bucks!

Staff are always very helpful here. Great place for formal rentals and they do exceptional work on alterations. I've been a customer of theirs for over 20 years and they have never disappointed.

An Outstanding Tuxedo Fitting Experience from Start to Finish!

I recently had the pleasure of getting fitted for a tuxedo rental, and I honestly couldn’t be more impressed with the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff made me feel completely at ease, taking the time to understand exactly what I needed for my event.

The fitting process itself was seamless and surprisingly enjoyable. The tailor was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive to every detail—measurements were precise, and they offered great advice on styles, fits, and accessories that would best complement my frame and the occasion. What stood out the most was how much they cared about getting everything just right—nothing felt rushed or overlooked.

When I came back for the final fitting, the tuxedo looked and felt perfect. The quality was top-notch, the fit was impeccable, and I received compliments all night long! It truly made me feel confident and sharp.

If you’re looking for a place that combines expert service, high-quality formalwear, and a genuinely pleasant experience, look no further. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Good suits for a solid price, overall happy. They were not able to fit everyone in for their suit appointment even tho it was just three guys being fitted. One of the guys had to come back again another time which was a bit bothersome for him because he just watched us get fitted and showed up for nothing. We definitely believe that everyone could have easily been fitted in our appointment if the lady working was not talking g so much about her personal life. Overall I recommend but they might now be able to do your whole wedding party at once and we had 3 ppl only.

I worked with this location for my wedding in August 2024. Our 5 groomsmen all rented their suits from here for our wedding. Over the course of a year we had multiple try-ons to make sure we found the look we were going for, checking colours, etc. They were accommodating when it came to that, and the staff seemed pleasant at the time. However…one of our groomsmen went to the location to do what was supposed to be his final fitting, only for him to then have to call me (the bride) and tell me that Derks had just told him that they didn’t have the jackets for the suits we needed. This was 2 weeks before my wedding. They told a groomsmen this. They did not call myself or my husband or ANY of the other groomsmen about this. Had he not gone there I really truly wonder if we would have been notified or if we would have found out when they went to go pick up our suits. When trying to deal with this situation I found them very confused and very frustrating to deal with. The one “manager” there is absolutely horrid to deal with. I questioned why we weren’t notified and they had no idea. The staff was clueless. Measurements had been taken wrong as well which we found out later and that was blamed on the staff member that did it being ‘new’ and the information not being saved - but they have a system that shows who has been measured and who hasn’t, and again we were not aware of the measurements needing to be redone and missing. So we had to get another groomsmen in there again. Finally when we received the call (days before the wedding) that the jackets were dealt with and they found them and all was ‘good’ so we schedule for the groomsmen to all come in 3 days before the wedding to do the final final fitting and confirm the jackets. Thankfully I (the bride) went with them, and then found myself nearly in tears when they had one of my groomsmen in a tux jacket that absolutely did not match any of the rest of them and when it was pointed out was told “oh. Good thing you said something cause I wouldn’t have noticed that” by the staff member working there. She went to the back and was able to thankfully find a matching jacket in his size, but all in all it was a VERY stressful debacle with this location and I wouldn’t suggest using them personally. Giving two stars now (though at the time of the wedding I wished I could leave a zero star review) as most of the staff was nice and at the end of the day we got the suits and the groomsmen looked good. But it was very stressful to deal with this all a week before the wedding as an already stressed bride. I hope for future they have a system in place to actually call and notify their clients when they don’t have something rather than it being found out when a groomsmen goes to try on their suit.

We booked a 12 person ford expedition limo for a bachelorette party. Our driver was Tony. When we booked, we didn’t realize we also got a professional photographer in one! (Haha) Tony was SO professional, fun, kind, and took us to a beautiful spot to take photos and took the best pictures of us! He was extremely professional as well. I saw a lot of other companies online but the reason I called A1 was because they had their pricing on their website while every other site was “call for quote” which is very annoying. I loved the transparency, it made it convenient and easy for us to budget and book. The follow up leading up to our ride was professional and kind as well. Unfortunately at our arrival there was insane rain so we had to bolt out to avoid getting soaked, and we feel terrible we couldn’t give Tony the thanks he deserved. Thank you guys so much

It is always a great time with A 1 limo as it is hassel free. I booked the 26 person limo bus early in Jan for july. Each time I would inquire about questions they would promptly reply that day no mater what hour of the day. Our driver Tony was great. although he got stuck in traffic on the way to pick up the group he was able to piviot with all of my schedule changes. As in changing the meeting place to load the bus with supplies and the pick up the rest of the group.
He was prompt on pick up and drop off at each venue and parked as close to the venues as possible.
At the end of the night he made an extra stop to drop off all of the extra supplies.
Communucation was great between the party host and the driver.
my only suggestion would be to allow an extra 5 to 10 mins in the beginning to accomodate traffic.

Thanks for the great experience.

I reached out to A1 as i was told they were one of the only limo services that had a TV, a request i absolutely needed for my event. Shaun was very accommodating and provided great service as we planned every detail.

Everything happened according to plan, Zack the driver was super with my kids and the car was awesome. Would not hesitate to use A1 again.

Fabulous company! My daughter celebrated her 22nd birthday with friends and they were absolutely thrilled with their ride and the driver, Tony. He was in communication with my daughter and even shopped for drinks for them to have in the limo with a list she sent to him which was greatly appreciated. The limo itself (tuxedo stretch Excursion) was stunningly beautiful. They had so much fun they actually canceled some of their plans so they could spend more time in the limo. Tony was kind, professional and patient, and kept them all safe the whole night. We will absolutely contact this company anytime we need a driver for a special night! Thank you so much!!

The perfect birthday start with the nice and smooth limo drive on Saturday. The driver was Shaun very polite and we'll prepared. It was one hour and we also stopped by to take some nice pictures with downtown.

A friend and I attended a tour driven by Abdul on the fairy bus with ABestX from Calgary to Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Johnston Canyon. The tour was well organized from the beginning with the company calling us in the morning at the pickup location to help us find the driver. Then, when reaching each location our driver was knowledgeable and organized. We were given great tips for each location and the meetup times were always efficient and organized! It was an amazing tour! Not to mention, the price was the best around especially for going from Calgary! I totally recommend.

Service is superb. I am from Vancouver and they assisted me very well. Every time I have questions, they reply in a timely manner. The trip was unforgettable. Abdul is one of a kind. Very professional.
I am in awe of how beautiful Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and Johnston Canyon are. Thank you so much. Til next time. ❤️

It was truly an unforgettable experience to have seen Banff for the very first time! I have contacted ABESTX weeks prior to our travel and decided to go with them since they have the lowest price in the market! As we waited that early morning, the shuttle came 10 mins ahead of time, the ride was smooth from Calgary to Banff and vice versa, and kuya our driver gave some hints as we drove all the way! The tour audio has been prerecorded which I thought was smart, but if you ask the tour guide for extra infos he’d be glad to share it with you! Our first stop was Lake Louise, then lake Morainne, then we hiked all the way to Johnston Canyon, and ended our tour in Banff Town! 😍 Overall, I highly recommend their service, if you want a smooth, and picturesque journey in Banff! Thank you po, mabuhay po kau! 🇵🇭 (Sheryl, 07/08/25 - a day tour in Banff)

We booked a private tour with Abest to visit Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and the other stunning lakes around Banff — and we couldn’t be happier with the experience!

Traveling as a family of 9, including my brother and his 1-year-old baby, having a private tour made everything so much more convenient and comfortable for us. The booking process through Facebook Messenger was quick and efficient. Once we finalized our date, their reservations team sent a secure payment link via email for the 50% downpayment. The remaining balance was due 7 days before the tour — everything was smooth and seamless from start to finish.

On the day of our tour, our driver and guide, Kuya Manny, arrived on time right at the front of our hotel. We were so lucky to have him as our guide! He was not only professional and patient, but also incredibly knowledgeable about all the places we visited and the Banff National Park and Banff in general. You could really tell that he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great time.

One unexpected bonus — his photography skills! He patiently took beautiful photos of our family at every stop. He knew the best photo spots in each area. He even gave us great local tips for our self-drive itinerary the following day — like going to Bow Lake early in the morning and parking near the red lodge to get the best views. (Please tell him we truly appreciated this advice!)

It was a truly amazing experience from start to end, and we’re incredibly grateful to Abest and Kuya Manny for making our trip so memorable!❤️

We had an amazing tour today with Abest transport and tour services 🥰 they are friendly and very accommodating through booking online, Our Tour bus arrive on time with good driver Abdul. This Company is trustworthy and highly recommended!

I dealt with Stephanie on a policy for a non-typical recreational type vehicle for road use. My own insurer would not help me even though they could have with a little effort. They were not willing to make that effort.
On the other hand Stephanie went to great lengths to make sure my vehicle got coverage. This took a lot of effort on her part for no great reward but the satisfaction of a job well done. Rarely do you find a ‘customer centric’ business anymore but it still exists within this company. Lots of calls and inquiries on her part were necessary to make this happen. For me this was true ‘customer service. I am very impressed with the service I received and would recommend to anyone who wants great service with “quick results”, I am very very pleased with their way of doing business the “old fashioned way”. Could not say enough about the whole experience.

I changed companies a few years ago and Action Group Insurance literally saved me over a $1,000 on my policies. They are always helpful and polite. A great bunch of people there, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Small town is where it is at!

I am very disappointed with how my account was handled at renewal. I was with Aviva and understand they no longer were dealing with this company the explanation i got IN email And the letter I got did not reflect eachother. I emailed my broker (Larry ) a couple times and he did not even respond. He did not give me sufficient notice with information with my account. Which left me scrambling! in March i noticed a few days went by my insurance payment never came out i emailed him and he assured me everything was fine and I was paid up until April 24th. Which was my renewal date. He then said he would get me a quote. So he did then promptly told me he couldnt insure me because of an accident and 1 ticket. His explanation made no sense and when i went to another broker they insured me no problem with the same company. I feel scammed by this guy and he didnt even have the decentcy to contact me or email me back. I would definitely NOT Recommend this brokerage! very disappointed!

As a regular consumer I pride myself on getting multiple quotes action was by far the best price and the most helpful. They were very accommodating to my wife and I and they definitely hold the title for customer service in Strathmore I highly recommend them.

At first they did give us a great deal. But now that a different person has taken over our account we are not getting the same type of service. After this term is up I’ll be going with another company

Waited in line on the Saturday for an hour, just to get in. Maybe we'll buy tickets online next year, because we will definitely go again. Planning costumes already. It was wonderful to see so many people that get involved in the spirit of the Faire. So many different things to see and dozens of booths to shop at for clothing, jewelry and all things medieval. Make sure to get seats in the stadium early for the jousting!

Knight fights are the best part of the faire! Hope next year we get more variety for side shows and attractions! I liked fight the knight last year this year axe throwing and Cornhole was okay but I think there needs to be more to do when waiting for the jousts!

Jousting, knight battles, cosplay contest and the market were all great. The 1 hour long lineup to buy food or drinks was not. They need to double the number of food vendors.

First time coming this year and let me say that it was so worth it. Everyone was so welcoming and the activities were very fun and engaging. Would come again. Bring your best costume!

It was a wonderful afternoon. The people were kind, accepting, and many dressed up or in character. Food from the trucks was delicious. The armored combat was great. Even the merchant stalls was a good time, plenty of interesting people and their incredible products. Will go again.

5 Stars – Outstanding Service for Our Banff Adventure!
I recently rented a vehicle from this amazing car rental company based in Calgary for a trip to Banff, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, everything was smooth and professional. The booking process was easy, the customer service was friendly and helpful, and the car was clean, reliable, and perfect for mountain driving.

They gave us great local tips and ensured we were well-prepared for the scenic drive through the Rockies. The whole experience made our trip to Banff even more special. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, local rental company in Calgary for your Alberta adventure, this is the one. Highly recommend!

We got married on June 18th in Banff. Everything went so smooth. The driver was amazing. Drove us t9 great picture spits and took all our pics. The Rolls Royce completed our wedding and the service was top notch. I 100% recommend Alpine Limo for any event. Thank you so much for everything.

Our experience was exceptional. We were in the area for one week. Rodger was very professional, attentive to details, and went over and above for every need we had. His knowledge of local places for food, shopping and sightseeing allowed us to have a premium experience. He has a background in history which provided for most interesting information about the history of the area.
I strongly recommend booking Rodger.
Your trip will be enriched with a tour guide and historian all in one. Thank you Rodger!

We have been using Alpine for many many many years for transport from home to airport and back.

The service is exemplary and attention to detail is professional.

It is like having our own personal chauffer ;)

If you are looking for a dependable and reliable Limo service, we would highly recommend this company.

Excellent Experience from Calgary Airport to Banff and Lake Louise tour. Thanks Josh for giving us memories while driving us through out the whole trip.Highly recommended Alpine’s Sedan & SUV services in Banff.

Adam was fantastic!! He was so wonderful for my daughter’s grade 9 grad. He took my group of silly teenagers around downtown, stopped at several places for photos and made sure they had a great time. Thank you so much for helping make incredible memories!

We booked AMPM for my son's 13th birthday celebration. We were very lucky to receive a surprise upgrade to the truck limo (the kids were pumped!) Our driver Reg was fantastic; so enthusiastic and made the kids' afternoon a blast. Thank you for an awesome experience!

I would highly recommend AM PM limo service! We recently hired them to take us to celebrate my mom’s birthday - her 1st time in a limo at 75! Our driver Afu arrived 5 minutes early. He was very friendly and courteous. He encouraged us to play whatever music we liked. He took us to a great spot overlooking downtown and was very patient taking photos for us. We felt safe driving with him. The limo itself was very clean and still had that “new car smell” - a great experience overall! Thanks Afu!

Afu drove our family from Banff to Glacier and it was a wonderful experience! He was a very safe driver who was incredibly professional, kind, and thoughtful. He allowed us to make stops for snacks and bathroom breaks as it was a long scenic drive. I would highly recommend using the AM/PM services and request Afu if that is an option. 10/10 would ride with them again

I got my daughter and her friends a limo for grad and Adam was absolutely amazing!! He was on time, very personable and very patient with the 12 teen grads while taking photos lol
Our whole experience from start to finish, was phenomenal!!
Next limo I get I will most definitely be requesting Adam!!

Archway Manor was the perfect venue for our wedding! The space is absolutely beautiful and created such a special atmosphere for our day. The staff was wonderful, and Jolea especially was amazing—so communicative, helpful, and always making sure we had everything we needed. We’re so grateful to have celebrated here and highly recommend Archway Manor to any couple looking for a gorgeous venue with fantastic support.

Came here for a friend's wedding in the middle of winter. Beautiful location in the forest and perfect for a winter wedding. I would describe the aesthetic as large, opulent, white and gray, North American with a little bit of European. It was a very large building. This wedding had around two hundred people and the main building could comfortably fit around 300 people - although with the 200 people that we had, the parking lot felt tight but it looked like there was plenty of space for an additional overflow parking lot. The main building had very high ceilings but the sound system and acoustics were great.
The table, chairs, crystal and all other accoutrements felt like they were good quality and all the little details were paid attention to. There is a large staircase behind the entrance that takes you upstairs to two rooms on either side - perfect for an elegant entrance coming down to the reception.

5 Stars – A Dream Come True at Archway Manor!

From the very first moment we visited Archway Manor, we knew it was something special—but what truly brought our dream wedding to life was Jolea, the incredible owner and heart behind the venue.

My wife had a very clear vision of what she wanted, and Jolea not only listened with genuine care, but she also went above and beyond to make every detail absolutely perfect. Her kindness, professionalism, and calm energy made the entire planning process a joy. She was truly a pleasure to work with—always warm and responsive.

On the day of our wedding, everything was stunning beyond words. Every guest we spoke to told us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended—and we couldn’t agree more. From the elegant setup to the peaceful, enchanting atmosphere, Archway Manor felt like something out of a fairytale.

Jolea, thank you for turning our vision into reality and giving us a day we will cherish forever. We are endlessly grateful!

Jesse + Avery

We had dreamed of having our wedding in Europe, but as soon as we saw Archway Manor, it felt like bringing Europe to Canada. It’s not just the most beautiful venue in Alberta — it’s the most stunning venue we’ve seen anywhere in Canada.
We chose to have our wedding here so our grandparents could attend and are so glad we decided to enjoy our wedding day here. Jolea, the owner, was quick to listen, and find a way to make everything work for us. Our guests were in awe of the venue and everything she and her team created.
From gorgeous lawn games to the way she was constantly running around ensuring everyone had drinks, every detail was thoughtful and seamless. Our day truly felt like a fairytale. Guests told us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended, and we owe so much of that to Jolea and her incredible team. We are endlessly grateful — our wedding couldn’t have been more special, more beautiful, or more magical.

We just attended our son and (now!) daughter in law's incredible winter wedding there. What a beautiful location and space. The moment we turned off the road down the snowy tree lined road leading to this stunning building, we were captivated! Not what we were expecting at all - such a beautiful surprise! The venue is grand and no detail has been left out. The bridal and groom's suites are beautifully appointed, the caterer had ample room to work in the spacious kitchen, sound system is clear for speeches, the outdoor space at the marble arch has lots of room and makes for a gorgeous spot for vows to be exchanged and many guests even took advantage of the beautiful staircase to capture their own classy photos. Jolea is truly an amazing venue hostess - she is ready with answers, solutions, suggestions - and always a smile; we really appreciated her. We highly recommend Archway Manor. Thank you, Jolea!

If there was an option for negative stars we would be giving this company that. We had rented a SUV limo from this company for my daughters grad this year. At first we thought they were very accommodating, very nice to talk with over the phone, we were able to extend time on as the school had changed grad show up time an all. The driver was friendly.
BUT!
BUT here is where it was a SHOCK to us. The limo on the other hand was a wreck /disaster!!!!
The limo was NOT in good condition it was all dented up that looked like it should have been at a body shop! Inside the Limo the AC NEVER worked, it was actually blowing warm air we had to have the windows rolled down just to get air movement through an my daughters grad hair was getting wrecked! Also the stereo speakers were blown an they didn't work in the far back of the limo.
When we left the school on the way home we were caught in a rain storm an the emergency sunroof window started leaking. It was leaking so bad that my step father was soaked. My step father had to take 2 of their wine glasses an hold them above his head to help collect the rain as he was getting soaking wet from the rain. It was so bad that it had filled both cups at least halfway up! After being dropped off we had talked to the driver he agreed it was not in best shape an it shouldn't have leaked, an the AC should have worked as well as the radio, for that matter we told him to let his boss know an to get a hold of us. It's been several weeks later an no contact. That being said I'm sure the company will come on here as a reply about slander an ect as that seems to be their response. I do have pictures an proof showing all these issues that were wrong as well as videos. If I can give any in put to someone else needing a Limo for a special event I would strongly advise renting somewhere else!! If I would have known I would be renting a limo from a different company. I wanted to support local an that was a mistake, to follow up the company never made an effort to correct or do anything to compensate for this. I would highly and strongly suggest going else where!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was such a huge embarrassment for not only my daughter at her grad but for the people we accommodated for her grad!
As for this company maybe you should try an make things right as this is the truth it is not slander.

Terrible and unfair customer service! I would never ever recommend Arrow Limousine Services to anyone! This is ridiculous how they lie and steel money from the customer's credit card! Return $900 that you stole or we will sue you!

We had a terrible experience with Arrow Limousine & Sedan Services Ltd. We used their service to get back to our hotel after a wedding. It was supposed to be a shuttle bus, but they upgraded us to a small limo bus with very loud music. The ride took forever as they took a suspicious route that we were tracking on Google Maps. At one point, we passed right by our hotel without stopping.

The ride was miserable and unpleasant, and everyone just wanted to get back after a long day at the wedding. The music was too loud and we were all tired. The driver was unfriendly, even rude, and the AC was blowing too hard, leading to complaints from everyone.
Would never recommend them to anyone!

Terrible experience! Arrow Limousine should not operate at all! They lie and they steel money! They are rude and very unprofessional! They changed the website due to so many bad customer reviews!!!!
Do not use this company!

Great service. Did an excellent job even got a free upgrade. Veichle was nice and clean for its age. Would recommend

I have been using Business Assist for years now to help me bring my designs to life. I never walk away disappointed, far from it! Helping people with their branding and graphic needs is my true passion, and I only use Business Assist Centre for my projects. I even have clients that will come from the city to have their stuff printed just by them. The customer service is second to none. I never have to worry about my end results. Thank you business assist!

I have been using the services for the past 6.5 years. I always get fast, quality service from the friendly, professional staff. Assist Business is my go-to for any tasks I need help with, and I have never been dissatisfied. I have enjoyed partnering with them for all my business needs. Supporting this community business has been a joy and I will continue to do so!

Assist Business Centre came through for us in a big way, at such an affordable cost we were amazed! Excellent, immediate, rapid service at low cost is not easy to find. Luck was with us when we drove to Assist Business Centre (after a quick phone call to them and an easy drive from the highway). We needed several stacks of documents scanned to USB stick while enroute from Winnipeg to Vancouver, and our mortgage provider needed them RIGHT AWAY!! SUCCESS! Thank You to all the staff at Assist Business Centre

Thanks Assist Business Centre for always getting my print material to me on time. Grace and the staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. My trips booked through your travel department have been perfect. Highly recommend your services.

Grace Schouten (Swan Valley Travel) is the best travel agent I have ever met, and I have travelled extensively. With meticulous attention to detail, she put together a travel package including flights, rail, accommodations and bus tours throughout 4 provinces. She also provided me with amazingly detailed supports to accommodate my disabilities. She is truly remarkable.

Bailando Boutique exceeded my expectations and my dreams! I came in looking for a unique and specific style and was finally met with an array of choices. Marta was simply wonderful to make such an important choice with. Marta took the time to get personable not just with myself but with my big group of gals! She provided a warm, welcoming and fun environment by matching our energy. Marta knew this dress was special but that I was waiting to have the experience with both of my mothers, so Marta held this special dress for our special moment the next day; after closing time! If you want the full bridal experience while choosing the dress of your dreams to marry the man of yours, choose Bailando! 🥰

I can’t express how happy I am with my dress shopping experience here at Bailando. They were one of the top places on my list when I started my dress shopping. I was thrilled I could bring a large group with me for this experience, as some locations have limited space. Marta was my bridal consultant and she was fantastic. She made me feel comfortable and at ease right out of the gate. I shared my likes and dislikes that I found from a previous dress shopping experience and she had great recommendations right away to match my vision. The shop had lots of beautiful gowns to pick from but the first dress I tried that Marta selected gave me all the feels. We waited till the end to try it on again last and she paired a vail that tied everything together perfectly for what I was wanting. I felt so beautiful and knew it was exactly what I wanted. Thank you Marta for your expertise and making a shopping experience that can be really overwhelming at times, a breeze.

I cannot recommend Bailando Boutique Bridal enough if you’re looking for not only a stunning selection of wedding dresses, but also an unforgettable experience!

Last weekend, I had the most incredible time shopping for, and finding, my wedding dress with Gracie at Bailando. From the moment I arrived, she made both myself and my guests feel so welcomed and special. We were encouraged to browse the racks and choose dresses to try on, which turned into such a meaningful moment to share with my loved ones. Gracie truly listened to my vision for both my dress and my wedding day. She carefully pulled gowns that matched my style, while also giving me the space to explore my own instincts. The very first dress I tried on was one that I picked myself because it “spoke to me;” in the end, that’s the dress I said yes to! It felt extra special knowing I had chosen it straight from the hanger.

I had a pre-booked appointment at another bridal shop later the same day and felt I needed to do my due diligence and view their gowns. Gracie encouraged me to go, and even offered to stay late at Bailando in case I wanted to return. Sure enough, after the other appointment, I came back to Bailando to purchase the dress I loved. Gracie welcomed me back without hesitation, let me try on the gown again, and never once rushed me—even though it meant staying late to close the shop. I cannot thank her enough for doing this for me.

Throughout the appointment, Gracie went above and beyond to make the experience personal and memorable. Each time she came into the fitting room to help, she took the time to get to know me - asking about my fiancé, our love story, and our wedding plans. I never once felt like “just another customer,” which unfortunately was the case at another bridal store I had visited. Instead, Gracie made me feel seen, heard, and cared for. She never pressured me into a decision but guided me with honesty, respect, and genuine compassion.

When we went over the next steps, I left Bailando with not only the gown of my dreams, but also with a heart full of excitement and gratitude. Gracie made my wedding dress shopping experience everything I had hoped for and more. Becoming a Bailando bride feels so special, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about both her and the boutique. If you’re searching for your dress, do yourself a favour and go to Bailando Boutique Bridal - you will not be disappointed!

This is where I found my perfect dress! (it has pockets!!!) The staff were amazing and incredibly helpful with finding what I wanted. I didn’t have much time to find my dress and wasn’t having any luck finding anything, I called to see if they had off the rack dresses available and they do! Even with short notice they made time and space for me and made my dress hunt feel so special! If you are a bride with not much time to find the dress you want I so highly recommend checking them out! They have a good selection of styles and sizes and are lovely people to have helping with such a big moment!

A close friend recommended I go to Bailando Boutique for my wedding dress. I had the best experience during my try-on and then later at my dress pick-up. Marta and Gracie were lovely to work with. Marta listened to what my vision was and found THE PERFECT dress. I would recommend them over and over.

The big thing about this hair salon is they should let you know that some of the girls are still apprenticing for their license. I really wanted a nice haircut. I went from medium to very short hair thank goodness hair Grows! I should mention that the people they are very nice. Update,
You know how they say a good hair cut is in two weeks after the cut, well still not good! Worst haircut I ever got!

Big fan of Bangles, have always treasured getting my lashes and brows done by Crystal. I have to say that Jessica absolutely made my day by the best cut and colour that was probably the best one I’ve ever had. She did high and low lights, the best cut, took her time, in the best way! Listened to what I wanted, and I left feeling like a Queen! Always a great experience at Bangles, and Jessica, I highly recommend, she is made for her job, and I think she would make every person feel as great as I did. ❤️❤️❤️

The haircuts could really, really, be better. I have layers and wavy hair, and they never really knew what to do with it. Many times, i just went home and fixed it myself. My husband went for a haircut too and hated it so much. Was never really convinced with the quality.

Got a massage here and it was fantastic, really loosened my shoulders! They're pretty tight on average so I didn't expect much, but it's been some time and I'm still feeling better than before.

I went to Bangles Hair Salon to get my Hair Cut in Strathmore! Keely cut my hair and did a Fantastic job!! I would recommend Keely to everyone! She is a real Pro when she cuts your hair!! Definately will be back! Thanks Keely!!

I had a wonderful experience at Bella Promessa! The boutique is beautiful with so many gorgeous dresses to choose from. Amy was amazing - she really understood what I was looking for and helped me find my perfect dress so quickly. Highly recommend!

My shopping experience at Bella Promessa was amazing. Amy was the wonderful person helping us, she pulled five gorgeous dresses for me to try! We found The One on the third dress!! She picked out a veil to try with it as well!! They still let us browse the racks just to make sure I got to see everything. I’m so glad my Mom, sister and I went here first!

I had a really good experience at Bella Promessa. There is a lot of options and styles of beautiful dresses. Jessica is super professional, knows her line of work and is a good listener. I 100% recommend Bella Promessa.

I recently visited Bella Promessa Bridal Boutique and had the most incredible experience finding my dream dress! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect setting to celebrate this special moment with my family.
A huge thank you to Jessica, who was truly amazing throughout the entire process. She provided exceptional guidance and support, making me feel truly special and confident as I tried on various styles. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for helping brides find their perfect dress really shone through.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I left feeling overjoyed with my choice. I highly recommend Bella Promessa Bridal Boutique to any bride-to-be looking for a personalized and memorable experience!

Shopping for my dress at Bella Promessa has been apart of my bridal vision, even pre-engagement 🤭. Especially at their location on Main Street, I felt it was very 'bridal' and the staff seemed wonderful! I can confidentially say that my experience did not disappoint my expectations!! I also want to mention that Amy was the cherry on top to this incredible moment. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and truly made a point to make sure I found exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend anyone shopping for a wedding dress to book with Bella Promessa ♥️

Both front desk agents that I dealt with were great, but I was thoroughly disappointed that there was toenails, clumps of hair, and some white powder substance all over the pool area and when I brought it up to the front desk, he said that they would be closing the pool and they were really sorry. But when I came back an hour later, the pool was still open and still dirty. Guaranteed they did do a thorough job cleaning in the morning, however we were not able to utilize it as we had to head out early so it was kind of disappointing that we paid for a hotel with a pool to not get a pool. I also noticed on my bed skirt in our room, there was clearly dried boogers, and that made it overall just not worth what we paid. I discussed this with the front desk and they said they’d talk to the manager and I was given a $20 credit, which in my opinion is not enough for the fact that we didn’t get to use the facilities we paid for because of the cleanliness, and my room had someone else’s visible DNA on it

There was no hot water to clean up once we checked in our room. The small fridge made an alarming amount of noise. The bed was very comfortable! We had a good sleep.

Everything about our stay was great but I want to give a special shout out to the front desk staff who patiently helped with login and profile issues as part of securing a room booking. Good people!!

A good hotel. Clean, tidy, nice pool and good service

Stayed for a hockey tournament that was being held in Standard, a 30 minute drive away. The hotel was comfortable and they did well to manage kids playing in hallways, parents having drinks, etc. The pool was a good diversion for the kids. The nearby Roadhouse restaurant was a good find.

Within two weeks of booking Chloe and Russell for a future photoshoot, we found out we were pregnant. We contacted them to let them know it would actually be a maternity session. They were so helpful and kind throughout the entire process and we will treasure our maternity pictures forever! If you are planning a trip to Canada do yourself a favor and book them. You won't regret it!!

Hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day! Black and White took the most stunning and beautiful photos and video of our wedding day and we could not be more thankful! Chloe and Russell are so amazing to work with and easy going willing to listen to any ideas you may have. They were always quick to respond to emails and any questions or concerns we had. Would recommend them over and over again! If you need photographer/videographer absolutely choose Black and White Photo/Film they are incredible!

My husband and I were married recently in October at Creekside Villas in Canmore. After realizing that trying to figure out our own music was impossible, we started to hunt for a DJ. Paul was the immediate choice due to his friendly and caring personality and willingness to work with us when we are no experts at wedding planning. Paul guided us gently to decide on certain key songs for the day and gave us some great advice about what equipment he recommended and some things to remember. We gave him the flexibility to read our crowd and play to our guests and he did an absolutely AMAZING job. My feet still hurt from dancing and my guests all said how fun and perfect the music was from the night. I HIGHLY recommend Black and White for your upcoming wedding if you want one less thing to worry about on your big day.

Black + White photo|film was listed as one of our wedding planner's preferred vendors and after working with Chloe and Russell we know why! Not only did we have a great experience with Chloe and Russell on our wedding day, but we just got our preview back and we were stunned by how beautiful our photos are!

Chloe and Russell possess keen eyes, top-notch skills, and great attention to detail. They were receptive to my ideas and very accommodating to the shots we wanted to be captured. They were also excellent when it came to wrangling our family for photos after the wedding - no easy feat.

We've only gotten our preview back so far (we can't wait for all the photos!), but we have received so many wonderful compliments from friends and family about the quality and beauty of them.

Black + White list their pricing on their website as "investment" and that's because you are truly investing in high-quality photos that you will want to display and keep with you. Take it from my husband and I, you will not go wrong with trusting Black + White with your wedding photography.

Chloe was absolutely amazing on our wedding day! She was so receptive, and captured everything (plus some) that I ever could have wanted! Our photos turned out beautifully and it is all because of the professionalism and expertise that she demonstrated throughout the entire day. Her skill set exceeds that of taking photos - she even went so far as helping us coordinate the wedding day schedule, and recommending beautiful spots for images. Thank you so so much to the team at Black and White Photography for being there to document our special day.

Thank you so much to Eryn ! She got my hair from a brunette to a platinum blonde! Just how I wanted it ! Eryn took the tile and patience and did an excellent job ! I will definitely be back ! Thanks a million !

Eryn truly cares about her customers. She takes her time to find out what customers want. She is very personable. I am so glad I found a place where I fully trust my hairdresser.

Nicole always gives me a very good hair cut that is easy to keep. It is always styled and put in place before I leave. My hair is very thick and requires a lot of texturing to style it, and Nicole does this well.

It was wonderful as usual. I love seeing Nicole and my hair is always perfect 😻🥰

Eryn is extremely professional but also so inviting and friendly. Excellent everytime ☺️

I simply cannot recommend Blissful Bridal—and Theresa specifically—highly enough. This was more than just a dress appointment; She took the time to understand my style and patiently taught me so much about the subtle details that make a wedding dress truly beautiful—the structure, the movement, lace types and the little things that influence the final look. This is why she's so amazing: she brings 20+ years of customer experience and knowledge to every session... and she tailored the entire experience to my vision, making me feel comfortable. Thank you Theresa for the most memorable and blissful experience!

I had a great experience at Blissful Bridal boutique. They have so many beautiful dresses in different styles. The customer service was wonderful. Theresa was very kind and patient, and she did everything to make sure we were happy. I’m thankful for her time and hard work. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a wedding dress!

Found the most beautiful grad dress for my daughter! We had the most wonderful experience with Theresa. She took the time to ask my daughter her preferences and then helped her find dresses she might like. There was no rush or pressure, and she really took time to make sure my daughter found what she was looking for. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a great selection. The owners are professional, friendly and the price was great!

Went in on a whim to see if I could just look at dresses. Received some of the best Service I've had since starting to dress shop. I gave them what I was looking for and every dress I tried on was fabulous. I listen to their advice and they found my "the one!". Found the priceses very reasonable for the quality of dresses and quality of service I received! I felt like yelling "start the car" on my way out! First time I felt special trying on dress in Canada. Definitely recommend

Wonderful! I was having trouble finding a mother-of-the groom dress (I am plus sized). I walked in, and fortunately I arrived in-between appointments, so they were able to help me on the spot. They were professional, warm and very helpful, with seveeral styles to choose from. We found a lovely gown, they took my measurements, and my size arrived within just a few days of ordering (it was in stock). I would recommend them without reservation.

I booked Nicki for day of coordination and so glad I did. Even though my event was somewhat casual and small (25 people), I really wanted to be able to just enjoy it and not be too worried about the coordination, set-up, or décor. Nicki was a real life-saver and helped ensure the day ran beautifully and smoothly. She also had helpful suggestions when I was in the planning stages. Thanks Nicki!

This was my daughter’s wedding and one of the most important days of her life, Nicki made this day wonderful for her and us! She took care of booking venders, from across Canada and coordinated with the venue and decorated it beautifully! I can’t say enough. Nicki is calm, cool and professional. Andrew played guitar and created an wonderful atmosphere for our guests to enjoy a cocktail before the dinner. I highly recommend Blissful Weddings. This was a wonderful day for our entire family! 🤍🤍🤍

I had such an amazing experience working with Nicki! She truly made my wedding day come together perfectly and it was the most amazing day! Nicki booked all of my vendors for me and communicated with them in the months leading up to my wedding. On the day of, she was amazing and met with all of the vendors, along with the staff at the venue and it made for such a smooth day and I didn’t have to stress and worry. She set up the reception area so beautifully and it was exactly how I pictured it would look. The day itself was magical and I know it would not have been the same without Nicki. I truly can’t recommend Nicki enough, she went above and beyond and I am so grateful! Thank you so much Nicki! 🤍🥰

What a great experience working with Nicki! It was the most incredible day for my sister's wedding and Nicki made it so easy for us. Nicki planned and organized all the vendors, made sure everyone knew where to go and when, and ensured every little detail was thought about the day of. Nicki set up the entire venue the day of for us and made sure everything was done so the wedding party and the couple didn't have to stress the day of. Nicki was so great at coordinating with and working alongside all the workers at the venue. Nicki made sure to handle anything the day threw at her, and problem solved everything that came her way. I would recommend Nicki a million percent!! You won't be disappointed, and the biggest day of your life will be completely taken care of. Thank you so so much for the most amazing day Nicki!!!

Attended a wedding in Canmore last week. Nicki was amazing. She coached all the hotel staff to ensure everything was exactly as the bride and groom had requested. She made all of the wedding party and parents bouquets and boutonnières which were beyond amazing. She was extremely well organized, and you could tell she loved what she was doing. The result was a flawless event. Bonus points: Her husband was a fabulous DJ, and is also an amazing musician and the guitarist for a long standing favourite local band . I highly recommend Nicki. She’s the real deal.
