1 WEDDING PACKAGE 1

2 Your Wedding at BUFFALO MOUNTAIN LODGE Thank you for your interest in Buffalo Mountain Lodge. We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our lodge. The Rocky Mountains have long been an area of great significance to our native peoples. The valleys were places of ceremony and celebration. The lakes and mineral springs, places of rejuvenation for mind, body and spirit. Near the center of what is now Banff lies a mountain the early visitors knew as Sleeping Buffalo. Buffalo Mountain Lodge is set amidst the beautiful tall pines of this mountain environment, just minutes away from shopping and the nightlife of Banff Avenue. We have 108 guest rooms 48 of which are our Premier units decorated with a king, queen or 2 queen size beds, natural fieldstone fireplaces, oversized baths featuring claw-foot soaker tubs, heated slab flooring and either a balcony or patio. The Lodge rooms are furnished with bent willow, pine furniture, feather duvets and have natural fieldstone fireplaces. Our spacious Buffalo Rooms, equipped with 2 queen beds or one king bed and a kitchenette, are perfect for those with young families. Our recreational facilities include a Steam Room, Gym and Outdoor Hot Tub. The Main Lodge is built of hand-hewn timbers and has a massive fieldstone fireplace, high open beam ceilings, a cozy lobby bar and historic antiques. The dining room in the Main Lodge features flavorful Rocky Mountain Cuisine and an award winning wine list. In the summer of 1998 we added a new Conference Center the Wapiti-Longhouse and Wine Cellar. Its magnificent views coupled with vogue décor make this a picture perfect place for a wedding, training session or a corporate getaway. Alternative room options include our vaulted-ceiling Wainwright Room with outdoor patio, second-level Strathcona Room with balcony, and independent Cascade ideal for small groups and/or breakout sessions. If interested in an intimate, casual setting our Mountain Café Cilantro is available during nonpeak dates. In the winter, there are miles of cross-country ski trails. Buffalo Mountain Lodge is a 15-minute walk to the center of Banff or to the Banff Center. Nearby are world famous downhill ski areas at Mount Norquay, Sunshine and Lake Louise. Summer in Banff offers a variety of outings to choose from, including hiking, biking, rafting, horseback riding and golfing. Attached is our Wedding Planner package complete with room descriptions, room rental fees, and menus. If you require additional information or have any questions, you can contact us directly. It would be our pleasure to assist you to plan this very special day at Buffalo Mountain Lodge. Conference Coordinators bmlconference@crmr.com / bmlconference2@crmr.com Always an escape. crmr.com

4 HELPFUL HINTS TO MAKE YOUR WEDDING A SUCCESS IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES The weather here is known for its drastic, unpredictable changes. It is recommended to have a back up plan in the event of snow or rain if you are planning to hold your Ceremony outdoors There are various places for the Ceremony and pictures around Banff. You are welcome to hold your Ceremony in the same room as your reception /dinner. After the Ceremony we ask that your guests depart the room for 2 hours in order for our staff to successfully complete the room set-up and keep the dinner running on time. The guests or Wedding Planner in charge of setting up your décor can access the room 1 hour after the room change has begun to complete the additional décor. We ask that you limit the number of people assisting with décor to a maximum of 4 people. Your function room will be set-up with the appropriate tables, chairs, linens (white) and settings. The Lodge is very unique in the aspect that decorations are not needed. Simple flowers and candlelight are all that you need to enhance the atmosphere. All rooms are tastefully decorated and offer natural lighting, art or other decorative wall hangings. It is strongly recommended to offer hors d oeuvres to your guests during a Reception period, especially if a Host bar is in effect. Upon booking, the Conference Coordinator has various names of photographers, DJs, florists, etc to help you get on your way. The Bride and Groom are responsible for the booking of these services. The Conference Coordinator, after helping you select the room that is suitable for your special day, will assist you with the menu and wine selections.
