One of the most beautiful weddings I have been

I was just at Cork and crate at one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been to. I want to start off by saying the property is absolutely beautiful! James and his wife Ronalyn we're spectacular hosts and have done amazing work to the venue to accommodate weddings. I was part of the wedding party and James made sure no matter what we needed, either help out or got it done for us with no questions asked. I couldn't recommend this place enough [...]

We were extremely happy with everything

James & Rhonalyn are really good at what they do. We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Tea House(North side) on their property and we were extremely happy with everything from start to finish. They are very passionate about Cork and Crate and what they can offer and it shows. I would 100% recommend this place for your wedding day.

Our guests have raved about how great the day was

We had our wedding on August 20th, 2022 at the Vine House and Courtyard. We had 2 outdoor bars for guests during the afternoon and a games area which everyone loved. There are also a lot of amazing settings for pictures! James and Rhonalyn went above and beyond to keep everything running smoothly and made the day run perfectly. We hired the in-house Caterer Crave Cartel and the food was absolutely incredible! Our guests have all raved about how great the day was [...]

The owners James and Rhonalyn were truly amazing.

We just had our wedding here on Aug 12, 2023. This is the most beautiful venue I have ever seen! They have sunflowers everywhere, a nice pond, old cars, and animals! Every square foot was perfect for photos. The owners James and Rhonalyn were truly amazing. The tables and chairs were already set up for us when we arrived, and they were there helping us set up and clean up the entire time. They really went out of their way to make sure all of our requests were accommodated. [...]

Hosting an outdoor wedding in May, in Alberta, comes with uncertainties around weather.

James and Rhonalyn provided personalized care and attention throughout our experience.
