Absolutely! Everything is shown on our website, and it is constantly being updated as Pam scouts for the perfect vintage pieces to add to the space to be used in any way you'd like. 50 rectangle Costco tables are also included alongside 200 wooden cross back chairs! We are still working on obtaining the perfect linens and dishes, so for now, those are the only things you'll have to rent/buy disposable.
Being located in a small town, and being a busy family ourselves with two full-time careers besides this wedding venue dream, we think it works best for all involved to not treat our weddings like revolving doors. One weekend, one wedding. It's all yours! The building, and our attention. We don't want to be divided across couples and family events, and we don't want your time and attention to be squeezed into a compressed schedule either. Your biggest day should be savoured, slowly! Freddy's is all yours for three.full.days. It's that simple.
Of course, we'd love to! Seeing weddings book our wonderful local talent is one of the most rewarding things about starting this dream. Cardston has incredible local talent from caterers to photographers, Lethbridge offers wonderful services as well only 45 minutes away, and even the surrounding area. We have a complete list on our website, but don't feel limited to just our suggestions. Feel free to use the vendors who know Freddy's inside and out, or find someone new, it's completely up to you.
We are slowly working on a specific list that will be linked up and at your fingertips, but in the meantime, our Instagram and website shows a few weddings who have used local churches in Fort Macleod and Waterton. As of yet, no one has held their ceremony outdoors, but we are working on a partnership with a Rocky Ridge Greenhouses/AIRBNB just outside of Waterton. You are welcome to use our chairs to stage your dream outdoor ceremony with owner Josh Creason, and have your party back inside the warm confines of Freddy's afterwards. We are always working on finding more options for our guests, stay tuned!
As long as you've obtained the proper special events license and provide certified servers to serve or sell alcohol on our premises, you'll be set! The couple assumes all responsibility and liability related to the purchase, service and consumption of alcohol during the event. This can bring a huge freedom and savings for your celebration, and we like it that way.
Another small town perk! SO much public parking alongside Freddy's, behind it, across both streets as well. Especially after business hours.
This process *should* be completed by summer of 2027, please inquire within. But basically, we have a beautiful bridal suite and full bathroom that doubles as a honeymoon suite completely with murphy bed/comfy queen mattress. The kitchenette area also has a double pullout couch, for someone who may need a place to lie down in a pinch, or should you choose to sleep four overnight.
The main floor is a glorified entrance. It's huge and spacious and beautiful, but since the second floor is the one that really likes to show off, people often use the main floor as just a lounge area, cocktail area, corn hole etc space. Some have chosen to have their dance there so they can pack the upstairs with tables and chairs they'd like to leave up all night. It's truly up to you, and you can't go wrong.
Cardston is SET on fast food, it has a beautiful historic little charming restaurant that would love to cater to a dinner party or perhaps a wedding breakfast either on location or at Freddy's called Cobblestone Manor. The nicest hotel in town is kiddie corner to Freddy's, and has a good pool/hot tub set up. It isn't brand new by any means, but you can't beat the location. Also, Cardston and area is PACKED with unique AIRBNBs being so close to both Waterton National Parks and Glacier.
We are pet friendly, but sadly we don't have an elevator installed as of yet. We hope to qualify for grants as we grow as we deeply understand the importance of being handicap accessible, but sadly we just aren't there yet being a century-old building. *Some open flames are also ok if constantly attended at all times. No DJ/decibel restrictions or curfews!
