Frequently Asked Questions
How does Waterfront Park compare to a community centre wedding?
While many couples search for a community centre wedding in Calgary to keep their budget in check, Waterfront Park is actually a private estate and full-service venue—not a community centre. We offer the affordability you are looking for, but with a massive upgrade in experience. Instead of a standard hall, you get breathtaking lakeside views, professional in-house catering by Simply Elegant. Want to expand your vision with custom requests? Consider checking our traditional wedding offers.
Can we bring our own caterer or alcohol?
Because Waterfront Park is a full-service venue, all food and beverage services must be handled by our trusted in-house partner, Simply Elegant. This ensures top-tier quality and seamless service for your budget-friendly wedding.
What is included in "standard tableware"?
Your package includes the essentials so you don’t have to rent them separately: tables, chairs, standard linens, plates, glassware, and silverware.
Are there any hidden fees?
We believe in full transparency. Your $90-$125 per person rate covers the reception venue and food. Please note that this base rate does not include your outdoor ceremony space, standard GST, or our service charge.
Can we book a Saturday?
To offer these affordable wedding rates, Saturdays during our peak season (June to September) are excluded. However, Sundays through Thursdays are available, as well as off-season Saturdays!
