Mary and Grady's wedding reception at Chuck's Steakhouse in Banff was a memorable celebration steeped in Western charm. The steakhouse, famous for it's cowboy-themed decor, provided a unique and authentic backdrop for their special day. Guests were greeted with rustic wooden interiors, leather accents, and vintage cowboy decor, creating an inviting and warm atmosphere. Before the main event, guests mingled on the sun-drenched rooftop patio, which offered breathtaking views of the surrounding Rockies. The menu featured hearty, gourmet dishes, including premium steaks and locally sourced ingredients, delighting everyone in attendance.

What is the difference between a Private Venue booking and a Main Dining Room booking?
A private booking is when the entire venue is closed to the public, giving your group exclusive use of all areas, including the mountain view terrace, dining room and lounge. A private booking is always subject to a minimum food & beverage spend which may vary depending on the time of year and day of the week.
A main dining room booking is when tables in the restaurant are reserved for your group dinner but the restaurant remains open to the public. Please note, main dining room groups are seated at dinner tables upon arrival (there is no space for a standing reception).
What is a minimum spend?
A minimum spend is the amount your group is required to spend on food and beverage before 5% tax and 20% gratuity are applied. Items such as food, wine, and drinks (all consumed on-site) count towards a minimum spend. If the minimum spend requirement is not met, the difference will appear as a room fee on the final bill. Off-sales, gift cards and takeaway items do not contribute to the minimum spend.
The following equipment is provided free of charge:
With a private venue rental, DJs, bands and live entertainment are permitted. Entertainers are required to provide their own sound equipment as our in-house system is for house music only.
A/V capabilities are not available for these rooms/area. No DJs, bands, or additional sound equipment (Bluetooth speakers) are permitted.
GROUP POLICY
Main Dining Room: Earliest access to the table is 15 minutes prior to your reservation time. Reservations are permitted at 5:45pm & earlier or 8:15pm & later and subject to a 2 hour dining time.
Sundance Room: Earliest access for event set up/start is 5:00pm. Last call is 10:30pm, with an event finish of 11pm.

Private Venue: Earliest access for event set up/start is 5:00pm. Last call is 12:30am, with an event finish of 1am.
Please note, earlier access may be arranged for an additional minimum F&B spend. Please contact a Sales Manager for exact pricing.
Unfortunately Chuck's Steakhouse is not wheelchair accessible and is located up a large set of stairs.
DECOR POLICY
Our staff are focused on preparing the space for an impeccable meal service and are therefore unable to set up décor.
All décor needs (assembling centerpieces, unpacking décor, putting out place cards according to a seating plan, etc.) must be left in the hands of your Wedding Coordinator or friends & family. Special Event Rentals Banff is a local company that aids with set up should more extensive assistance be required.
Chuck's Steakhouse uses tea light candles on all tables as part of the regular dinner set up. Guests are permitted to bring in additional candles for décor as long as the flame is contained within a votive.
We have very limited storage available at the restaurant, therefore we are not able to store décor at the restaurant in advance of the scheduled access time or after the event.
WEDDING CAKES
Chuck's Steakhouse does not make wedding cakes, however there are many exceptional bakers within the Bow Valley and we would be happy to make local recommendations for a professional wedding cake should you require one.
There is a $3.50/person cake cutting fee to cut, plate, and serve the cake to your guests. There is no charge for a small ceremonial cake if you choose to cut and plate the cake yourselves (we will provide cutlery and plates). There is no charge for cupcakes and clients are responsible for the set up of a cupcake station.
Cakes may be delivered and stored at the restaurant the day of the event. Please ensure the cake is packed safely and labeled with your reservation name & details (for example: Smith Wedding, June 15th, Chuck's Steakhouse, Main Dining Room).
Please note, by bringing your own wedding cake, the client assumes full responsibility for the event guests. Chuck's Steakhouse will not be held liable for any allergic reaction resulting from the consumption of cake, frosting or fillings.
DO YOU HAVE A PREFERRED LIST OF VENDORS IN BANFF?
We work with many amazing florists, stylists, bakers and photographers in the Bow Valley. Please speak with your Sales Manager for our favourite local vendors.
MAY WE HOLD OUR WEDDING CEREMONY AT THE RESTAURANT?
Chuck's Steakhouse is first and foremost a dining room and we are therefore limited in terms of ceremony space. On occasion, and only with a private venue booking of the entire restaurant, we may be able to host your ceremony. Please note we are not able to remove all the tables from the dining room and therefore cannot set up a traditional ceremony space with rows of chairs.
IS THERE A DANCEFLOOR?
For a private venue rental, there is not a dedicated dance floor, however tables can be moved after dinner service to allow for dancing (which we highly encourage!).

We worked with Hayley to coordinate all the dinner details and she made the whole process so effortless for us. Since the private room was already booked, she set us up at comfortable banquet table for 8 people in the John Ware Room. Despite being a busy Saturday in September, we felt like we were the only people in the room. The whole service team was incredibly attentive and made us feel so special and well taken care off. The food and service were flawless and perfectly timed. Steaks perfectly done. Even the vegetarian in our party was happy! I was hesitant to order the pre-set menu because I love the a la carte family style menu chucks is known for but it made ordering flawless and quick. The dinner was stress free and so enjoyable. We loved our wine pairings as well. The sommelier recommended an incredible rosé and our server recommended an incredible red to pair with steaks. For the non-wine drinkers, they loved the cocktails! We love Chuck’s because of the luxurious yet laid back atmosphere and amazing views. They never disappoint!
Everyone at the restaurant was so incredibly nice and accommodating. The service was prompt. The food… oh my gosh, it was the most delicious meal EVER and almost everyone had clean plates! I also want to let you know our server, Casey, made the entire experience last night. She was so sweet and she could teach lessons on superior customer service. We loved her! So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for making our special day that much better!
Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable. We all had a wonderful enjoyable time.
