    Can we host our rehearsal or welcome event here?

    How far in advance should we book?

    • Peak-season weekends (May–Oct): 12–18 months ahead

    • Weekdays + non-peak dates: often more flexible

    What is the payment structure?

    Most bookings follow a simple schedule:

    • Retainer deposit to secure your date

    • Mid-payment during your planning period

    • Final balance + refundable damage deposit before arrival

    Can we access the venue early on the day of our event or get a late checkout?

    To keep everything seamless and fair for every couple, early access and late checkout are not available.
    All rentals follow:
    10:00 AM → 8:00 AM
    Anything beyond that requires a multi-day booking.

    Can we rent just the Event Hall for a few hours without the full property?

    In some cases, shorter bookings or hall-only rentals may be possible. These do not include access to the kitchen, bar, private suites, or outdoor ceremony areas.
    Because this depends entirely on date availability and season, please submit a request through our Contact Page.
    If your preferred date is available, we can discuss a tailored option.

  • What time do events need to end?

    There is a required time period overnight where no guests may be inside the Event Hall due to Alberta licensing.
    The exact cutoff will be confirmed once the licence is finalized.
    (Vendors may continue cleanup.)

    Do you have sound restrictions?

    The venue’s rural location means little to no sound restrictions.
    Outdoor music is flexible, and indoor sound can continue late into the evening.
    We simply ask that speakers face inward toward the property for courtesy.

    Are pets allowed?

    Yes — pets are welcome for ceremonies, photos, and celebrations.
    We just ask that owners clean up after them and ensure they’re supervised.

    Is security required?

    No, security is not required by the venue.
    Depending on your bar service provider, they may have their own requirements.

    Are candles, sparklers, or open flames allowed?

    Restrictions vary by season and fire conditions.
    Flameless candles are always recommended.
    Open flames or sparklers require prior approval.

    What are our cleanup responsibilities?

    Ever After Acres is rented independently.
    Renters are responsible for leaving the Hall, patios, and all included spaces clean and ready for the next event.
    A cleaning checklist is provided to make this seamless.
    Additional cleaning services may be available upon request.

  • Are we allowed to bring our own vendors?

    Absolutely. You’re welcome to choose your own caterers, planners, bartenders, florists, DJs, and décor teams.
    We also provide a preferred vendor list if you'd like recommendations.

    Do you offer décor, planning, or coordination services?

    Not at this time. Ever After Acres is rented as an independent venue so couples can build their day exactly the way they envision it. We’re happy to recommend trusted local professionals who align with your style and needs.
    Offering in-house décor options and planning support is part of our future growth plan, and updates will be shared as the venue evolves.
