Weddings, Christmas parties and birthdays

The hotel's own pitch for weddings is the elevator: guests take it home instead of driving. For a reception in the south-east of Calgary with 188 rooms upstairs, that is not a small argument.

Weddings

The hotel offers wedding receptions, fundraisers and cocktail parties with its own catering and banquet team. Guests can receive group-rate discounts on rooms through a booking code requested by the couple. The hotel mentions newly renovated guest rooms and access to the pool, gym, casino and restaurants for wedding guests.

The hotel lists a wedding package document; its contents were not readable when we checked, so prices are not quoted here.

Christmas parties

For the 2026 season, the hotel advertises all-inclusive Christmas party packages for 180 to 500 guests: catering with buffet or plated options, festive décor, linens, AV set-up and staff. It points to its 188 rooms and discounted group rates for guests who would rather not drive home, and to complimentary parking. Contact: sales@dfic.ca.

Kids pool parties

Saturdays and Sundays: one hour in the waterpark, followed by kids meals and a birthday cake in the Mohave Grill. Published at $29.95 per person on 31 October 2026, maximum 25 people, booked on (403) 723 4043.

Bus tours

The hotel runs bus tours for groups of up to 50, aimed at the 55+ community, with lunch specials in the Wild Horse Pub on Tuesdays and Thursdays. These are day visits rather than overnight stays.

A checklist for organisers

  1. 1

    Date first

    Check Stampede week (9–18 July 2027), long weekends and the hotel's show calendar before fixing a date.

  2. 2

    Room block

    Ask for a booking code so guests book at the group rate.

  3. 3

    Parking

    Free on site; tell out-of-town guests to use exit 240 off Deerfoot Trail.

  4. 4

    Late night

    The pub and lounge run late on Fridays and Saturdays; useful for an after-party, less so for an early ceremony the next day.

  5. 5

    Children

    The casino and Island Bar are 18+. Plan the children's evening around the waterpark and the grill.

Pulling in for a night? Ask the desk to check a room

Four fields are enough to start; the rest is optional. The desk checks availability and the current rate with the hotel's reservations or a booking partner and answers by email. This is a request, not a booking: no card details, nothing charged. If a request becomes a confirmed stay, the hotel or the booking partner pays this site a commission — how that works.

Request received. The desk answers by email, usually within one working day.
