Winner: Azuridge Estate Hotel
Nestled in the Foothills, just 20 minutes outside of Calgary, Azuridge Estate Hotel is an oasis of luxury and privacy. The 13-acre estate features a 13-room boutique hotel, with a sheltered outdoor lounge and a stage adjacent to a pond amidst manicured gardens. Couples that book the entire estate for their wedding are provided with a personal butler devoted to meeting the needs of the bride and groom. “That could be as simple as fetching a mimosa or running into town to get a wedding dress pressed,” says wedding director Michaelle LeManne Lamb. “The most common thing I hear from my brides is that they feel like they are in a fairy tale.”
