The Waterton Charm

Waterton offers you a quiet, unique and charming destination in a bouquet of romance. There are many reasons to have your wedding or any other special event here, and the highlights listed below only scratch the surface:

Cameron Falls

You don’t have to venture far to visit Cameron Falls, the heart of Waterton. Nestled on the outskirts of the townsite, this waterfall sings to the tune of love as a light mist of mountain water sprinkles your face like a quiet nudge to keep you in the present.

Red Rock Canyon

If red is the color of love, this deep canyon is filled with it. Exclusive to Waterton, and a photographer’s dream, the vivid, red sandstone provides a magical backdrop to capture the love you share in a digital keepsake of your special day that will last forever.

The Village

The majestic mountains surround the townsite as though they are sealing in the magic found here. The charm is both inviting and alluring. Waterton may be smaller than most other mountain communities, but that is what makes it so special. This village is one of the best kept secrets in the Canadian Rockies, which is why it is the most intimate place to be married.

Waterton Lakes

The village was built adjacent to the deepest lakes in the Canadian Rockies. Upper Waterton Lake is cradled by the mountains here, creating an iconic valley vista. No doubt you’ve seen photos of this amazing landscape in travel guides, and on Facebook and your Instagram feed. This is because it’s simply that beautiful and it’s only offered here.

Dark Sky Preserve

Exceptional starry nights make the complete package, or as they say, it’s the icing on the (wedding) cake. Dark skies are rare but in Waterton, your wedding photos will be breathtaking with the clear backdrop of the constellations.

Boat Cruise

Imagine saying your vows aboard a cruise boat at sunset in the romantic Canadian Rockies! This international boat cruise sets Waterton apart from any other mountain town, and the family that operates it is the definition of true Waterton hospitality.

Winter Wedding

How to make the most in Waterton:

• Book EARLY- Since Waterton is a popular wedding destination (for good reason!) so be sure to have your venue and guest rooms booked in advance.

• USE your coordinator - they’re here to help!

• Use LOCAL photographers - It’s not because we are biased. These photographers grew up around here using Waterton’s backdrop as their training ground.

Coordinators at every venue are sure to have a list to reference!
