We have accomplished a dream of ours, by making our business shift to start providing in-house catering.
We are SO excited to finally be able to share this with you all!

⭐️ State of the Art Kitchen - We are building a full working kitchen to support our clients in an impactful way; creating more flexibility, availability, and calm intention. Completion will be December 1, 2024!
⭐️ The twist? To create a food offering that is not about branding to our venues (like a restaurant or hotel does); rather, developing menus that are about our client’s vision for their event, budget, and style of desired service. Seamless collaboration - imagine!
⭐️ Who has the unique capability to do this, you ask!!? The gorgeous new kitchen will be the exclusive home of Food Works [craft catering] where Garret and his team will work for any of our clients at The Brownstone, Venue 308 and/or Studios at Vic Park YYC to bring this unique catering concept to YOU, for YOU
⭐️ Brochures are already out and booking, that are clear about next steps.
(NOTE: any events coming up where Garret and his team were not in place yet, we welcome your current catering plans or can get a quote out to you. Your event. Your call).

⭐️ A big step for us like no other and a big step for , like no other. We look forward to celebrating with you as a growing team.

♥️ The BEST trend of 2024 and 2025! ♥️

We are getting more and more requests for a small, intimate wedding ceremony, then followed by an elegant cocktail party and reception at our Venue 308.
We LOVED the idea!!

Enter the beautiful , which is attached by beautiful double solid wood doors to our venue. Yes, a gorgeous and bright ceremony space for 2 - 50! Do your photos there after your ceremony, head out for photos, have drinks at the bespoke bar onsite and come back to Venue 308 to meet celebrate with your larger group of friends and family.

No making guests go away for two hours. No need to flip a room. No chaos or confusion. 😅

DM or email us for the ELEVATED INTERLUDES BROCHURE for details and head to to see more of the space.

Talking signing tables today. Don’t forget this photo spot by assuming it is only a five minute “thing”. The angle of the table is one thing, but the design is key. Want to know what we see forgotten? The backdrop behind the table!!

All white means put a vase of flowers or some hanging greenery, a drape to create drama or place the table against a brick wall to bring mood. Flowers and fabric may seem expensive, but use your sweetheart table and get dual use from it all (signing table and reception table). Key takeaway from this is, slide the signing table into the conversation with your wedding planner and photographer! They have experiences and ideas worth discussing after all, this is where you seal the deal ❤️

Here are what quiet moments leading up to New Year’s Eve feel like to us, as venue magicians. The venue screams with anticipation, longs to make memories, is anxious to see love, and glows with the thought of laughter and happy sighs.

We are looking forward to celebrations our NYE couple tomorrow, and to the many weddings already booked and touring for 2024 and 2025. In the meantime, make sure you find a photographer for your event who hears what we hear, in the quiet moments.
