Five Reasons to Have Your Wedding Reception at the Griz Bar

Wednesday, 06 August 2025 by Emma Padgett
Griz Bar Wedding Fernie Alpine Resort

Your love story deserves a legendary backdrop.

Whether you met on the slopes, fell for each other over après, or simply dream of saying “I do” surrounded by mountain magic, Fernie has a venue unlike anywhere else.

Why Fernie’s most iconic bar might be your dream wedding venue!

If you’re dreaming of a laid-back mountain wedding with serious character – and space for everyone you love – it’s time to meet the Griz Bar!

Tucked at the base of Fernie Alpine Resort, the Griz Bar is more than just legendary après. It’s now one of the most unique wedding venues in the Elk Valley.

Here’s why it could be the perfect spot for your summer 2026 celebration:

  1. Room for Everyone You Love

With seating for up to 150 guests indoors, the Griz Bar is one of the largest licensed wedding venues in the valley. That means no awkward cut-downs to your guest list or back-up rain plans – just one big, beautiful reception under one roof.

  1. It’s Got That Fernie Vibe

This isn’t your typical reception hall. The Griz Bar is packed with rustic character, vintage ski memorabilia, and wood-beamed interiors that tell the story of Fernie’s mountain culture. It’s authentic, iconic, and full of soul.

  1. Crowd-Pleasing Menus

Our catering team serves up elevated yet approachable options – perfect for weddings that value flavour and fun. Think creative canapés, inspired buffets, seasonal cocktails, and hearty late-night snacks designed to keep the party going.

  1. A Relaxed Flow That Actually Works

You’ll have time to breathe with access for set-up and decorating the day before. That means less stress on the big day and allows more time to enjoy the moment.

  1. One Location, Endless Perks

Mountain views? Check. Indoor licensed venue? Check. Two large decks? Check. On-site accommodation and in-house catering? Absolutely. It’s all here, making the Griz Bar a natural choice for couples who want destination wedding ease without losing that down-to-earth Fernie vibe.

 

Now Booking Summer 2026 Weddings

If you’re dreaming of an unforgettable mountain wedding that leans into fun, reach out today to book a tour or check availability.

The Griz Bar is now accepting weddings for Summer 2026, and peak dates are expected to fill quickly.
