Breanne and Darrell's September wedding at Three Bears Brewery & Restaurant was as enchanting as it was magical. The rustic charm of Three Bears Brewery provided a stunning backdrop, with its inviting atmosphere and beautiful surroundings.
As the sun set, the venue was illuminated with twinkling lights, creating a warm and romantic ambiance. Under the glass retractable ceiling and a canopy of stars, guests enjoyed delicious craft brews and a delectable feast, with highlights including locally sourced ingredients that celebrated the season.
The evening was filled with laughter and dancing, as Breanne and Darrell kicked up their heels for their first dance. Personal touches, like heartfelt speeches and thoughtful decorations, made the celebration truly unforgettable. It was a day that captured the essence of their love and the joy of togetherness.

What is the difference between a Private Venue booking and a Main Dining Room booking?
A private booking is when the entire venue is closed to the public, giving your group exclusive use of all areas, including the mountain view terrace, dining room and lounge. A private booking is always subject to a minimum food & beverage spend which may vary depending on the time of year and day of the week.
A main dining room booking is when tables in the restaurant are reserved for your group dinner but the restaurant remains open to the public. Please note, main dining room groups are seated at dinner tables upon arrival (there is no space for a standing reception).
A minimum spend is the amount your group is required to spend on food and beverage before 5% tax and 20% gratuity are applied. Items such as food, wine, and drinks (all consumed on-site) count towards a minimum spend. If the minimum spend requirement is not met, the difference will appear as a room fee on the final bill. Off-sales, gift cards and takeaway items do not contribute to the minimum spend.
The following equipment is provided free of charge:
With a private venue rental, DJs, bands and live entertainment are permitted. Entertainers are required to provide their own sound equipment as our in-house system is for house music only.
The following equipment is provided free of charge:
With these bookings, part of the venue remains open to the public. This means music must be played at an appropriate volume (controlled by the venue manager) and the microphone cannot be used for singing karaoke, chanting, etc. No DJs, bands, or additional sound equipment are permitted.

DECOR POLICY
Our staff are focused on preparing the space for an impeccable meal service and are therefore unable to set up décor.
All décor needs (assembling centerpieces, unpacking décor, putting out place cards according to a seating plan, etc.) must be left in the hands of your Wedding Coordinator or friends & family. Special Event Rentals Banff is a local company that aids with set up should more extensive assistance be required.
Three Bears Brewery uses tea light candles on all tables as part of the regular dinner set up. Guests are permitted to bring in additional candles for décor as long as the flame is contained within a votive.
We have very limited storage available at the restaurant, therefore we are not able to store décor at the restaurant in advance of the scheduled access time or after the event.
WEDDING CAKES
Three Bears Brewery does not make wedding cakes, however there are many exceptional bakers within the Bow Valley and we would be happy to make local recommendations for a professional wedding cake should you require one.
There is a $3.50/person cake cutting fee to cut, plate, and serve the cake to your guests. There is no charge for a small ceremonial cake if you choose to cut and plate the cake yourselves (we will provide cutlery and plates). There is no charge for cupcakes and clients are responsible for the set up of a cupcake station.
Cakes may be delivered and stored at the restaurant the day of the event. Please ensure the cake is packed safely and labeled with your reservation name & details (for example: Smith Wedding, June 15th, Three Bears Brewery, Main Dining Room).
Please note, by bringing your own wedding cake, the client assumes full responsibility for the event guests. Three Bears Brewery will not be held liable for any allergic reaction resulting from the consumption of cake, frosting or fillings.
We work with many amazing florists, stylists, bakers and photographers in the Bow Valley. Please speak with your Sales Manager for our favourite local vendors.
Three Bears Brewery is first and foremost a dining room and we are therefore limited in terms of ceremony space. On occasion, and only with a private venue booking of the entire restaurant, we may be able to host your ceremony. Please note we are not able to remove all the tables from the dining room and therefore cannot set up a traditional ceremony space with rows of chairs.
For a private venue rental, Entire Upper Level, and Beer Garden + Good Friends Room bookings, there is not a dedicated dance floor, however tables can be moved after dinner service to allow for dancing (which we highly encourage!).
Everyone was incredibly helpful, responsive, and efficient. It was a pleasure collaborating with your team throughout the evening, and our guests had a wonderful time.
The delicious food, combined with the warm atmosphere and prompt service, created a memorable evening for us. We truly appreciate all the effort your team put into making our time at your restaurant special. Thank you once again for your outstanding service!
Our wedding went great, and we were so happy with the service from everyone!
First of all, ALL of the staff working the wedding on Sunday were amazing, so friendly, so welcoming, and provided amazing service throughout the night (thank you Dorian!)! Secondly, Hayley has been nothing but incredible to work with right from the get-go. She’s been so professional, timely, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. So thank you Hayley for making our wedding an absolute dream! Any who thanks again! We will be recommending the Banff collective and 3 bears specifically to anyone in the market for a venue or restaurant of any kind 😊
We just wanted to say a huge Thank You to Three Bears for being such a perfect venue for our wedding reception. Working with you (and the team) has been so easy - we really felt supported throughout the entire process. The venue is so beautiful - I'm so happy that is where we hosted there (and we heard that from guests over and over again). Thanks for working with Jaz on decor and a huge thank you to the bartenders and service staff who were so amazing and helpful (we were thrilled to see some of them dress-up!)We also heard the food and cocktails were phenomenal (many times).Hopefully everything was relatively smooth from your side! We would definitely recommend others host a party there.
I just wanted to let you know Kyle and I had the best night last night! Our host, all the servers bartenders were amazing! Our guests were so impressed with the beautiful venue. We all loved the food and the drinks! We certainly partied hard and got to do it under the stars. We could not have asked for a more perfect evening. Thank you for all your help in making our dreams come true.
Thank you for helping us organize our beautiful day. Our guests could not stop raving about the space, the food, the drinks and the incredible staff. We can not express how grateful we are to you and the staff for making our day so amazing. Cole, Chris, Dorain, were absolutely amazing. I know there were other staff, I just didn't get their name , but everyone there was amazing, they warmed out hearts. We felt so comfortable there, we didn't feel judged in any way, we felt so much love even from the Three bears staff. I could go on forever. haha.. We just wanted to say thank you and let you know that three bears and its staff are a cut above the rest.
