While that sounds all well and good, finding a good venue isnt the easiest thing in the world it seems.
Many here on CP are married or have been to weddings recently, what did you like? What intrigued you? What sucked? What suggestions do you have?
At the moment we're leaning towards Heritage Park, but it never hurts to get other opinions and suggestions.
Much appreciated.

Depending on the amount of drinking you anticipate, pick somewhere that there is cab access. The Ranche may be great venue and location, but if everyone's from Calgary, they have to drive out to Cochrane, and home, either there's not going to be as much drinking (along with people leaving early to make the trek back home), or, some in attendance may put themselves and others at risk by rolling the dice and trying to get that car home after having one too many.
Stampede Grounds has the Rotary House for such events. Friends have used community halls as well. Outside of getting a liquor license, not a lot of hassle there.
