Nestled against the backdrop of the Canadian Rockies, with the iconic Three Sisters standing tall, A Bear and Bison Inn was the perfect place for them to exchange their vows that reflected their love, and their sense of humour!

"There were so many emotions going through me but all I could think was how lucky I was to get to marry you. Nothing else mattered and no one else existed in that moment."–C "I was so lost in your eyes. Getting to marry you was the best day of my life"–J
They had a really well planned wedding with the right people in place to allow them to enjoy every minute of it, in the moment and worry free. This was a true case of ale you need is love… and the best entourage! *Brewery puns included*
B + G went for a laid back brewery atmosphere for their "Wed in the West" wedding. They wanted everyone who made the trip out here to let loose, share in their wedding day and maybe even tick off some Western Canada bucket list items while they were here!
