Uptown Strings’ Favorite Moments and Highlights in Calgary & The Rockies
From the scenic mountain views of Banff to the charming venues in Calgary, this past year has been filled with magical moments and unforgettable performances. As we wrap up the wedding season, we’re reflecting on some of our favorite venues, client stories. Here’s a look back at a memorable year of wedding music in Calgary, Banff, and Canmore

Breathtaking Rocky Mountain Venues

One of the best parts of performing in the Calgary and Banff area is the incredible scenery. Our music feels right at home with the natural beauty of the Rockies. Here are a few standout venues from this season:

• Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel: Known as the “Castle in the Rockies,” this iconic venue is always a pleasure to perform at. Our violin and guitar duo played against the stunning mountain backdrop, creating an atmosphere that was as majestic as it was romantic.

• Silvertip Golf Course in Canmore: Silvertip’s picturesque views and serene setting made it a perfect venue for our string trio. The beautiful landscapes of Canmore truly bring a magical feel to every ceremony.

• Lake Minnewanka: We had the privilege of playing a solo violin performance here, surrounded by breathtaking lake views. It was a small, intimate elopement that felt even more special thanks to the tranquil, natural beauty of the area.

Memorable Client Experiences

Each wedding brings its own special memories, and this season was no exception. One of our favorite experiences was performing for a couple who had a unique blend of cultural traditions and requested specific songs for their Hindu ceremony. They left us this wonderful review:

“The team was incredibly professional and quickly learned the song we requested for our Hindu ceremony, playing it flawlessly. Not only did they perform our favorite pieces with perfection, but they were also very flexible, moving seamlessly between different areas of our venue to accommodate various ceremonies and cocktail hour. Thank you, Uptown Strings, for doing such an amazing job.” – Thelma

We’re grateful to work with such incredible couples and honored to be a part of these meaningful celebrations.

Looking Forward

As we look towards the next wedding season in Calgary and the Rockies, we’re excited to bring more couples’ musical visions to life in these beautiful locations. From intimate elopements to grand gatherings, we’re here to make each moment unforgettable.

Thank you to all our clients, photographers, and venues for making this past season so memorable. We can’t wait for more love-filled days and scenic performances next year!
