You’ve got the partner, you’ve got the ring, you’ve got a list of more guests than you can count, but you don’t have a venue. Have no fear! We’ve got you covered. Here’s a list of every incredible downtown wedding venue that Calgary has to offer.

Hudson Event Spaces

First on the list is Hudson. This state-of-the-art event complex is located in one of downtown Calgary’s most beautiful locations: Stephen Avenue. As if being surrounded by the beautiful architecture that 8th Avenue has to offer isn’t enough, Hudson is located in one of our favourites: Hudson’s Bay’s iconic heritage building. Located on the 6th floor, Hudson boasts spectacular views, outstanding service offerings, and consists of two unique venues: the contemporary Hudson Loft and the grand Hudson Flat, totalling over 18,000 square feet of event space.

Sub Rosa

Second up is Sub Rosa, a lower level haven. Sub Rosa features vintage-style furniture of deep red tones and dark brown leather that plays off the existing qualities of the historic space. Oversized artwork, dramatic drapery, and custom statement lighting make this unique venue the perfect backdrop for weddings that are out of the ordinary.
