I don't know how Calgary works, but if your ceremony is short are there any park venues that would be appropriate?

Here in Sydney lots of people get married in the Gazebo of the big park downtown, then do pictures throughout. I don't think there's even a cost to it. However if you wanted decorations and such other than the landscaping that's done I don't know if it would be possible.

Are you ONLY looking for a ceremony venue? What about reception? I would assume out there, it would operate like here, you'd be able to use the reception venue for the ceremony itself, then simply move things around for the actual reception.

Sorry I couldn't be more help, but I'm just trying to think of options here and suggest if there are comparison's out there.

I'd think for 140 standing, lots of the hotels would be able to accommodate that.

If you didn't want to get married in a church, possibly a church hall (or any other community centre, legion, etc?)

Is there anything at the University? I'd bet you could get room out there cheap during the summer (but I don't know what SAIT, Mount Royal or UofC are like, let alone in the summer so I could be way off base there).

What about a small theatre? (Again throwing ideas at the wall and seeing if they stick)
