Winner

Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo Grazers Restaurant

With a variety of beautiful event spaces for groups of all sizes, the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo is much more than a place to go and gaze at animals. Grazers is an intimate space at the heart of the zoo compound, with floor-to-ceiling windows, cedar decor elements and a private licensed patio that make it an ideal spot for a smaller wedding.

1300 Zoo Rd. N.E., calgaryzoo.com
