Weddings at Num-Ti-Jah Lodge
W
hen Jimmy Simpson, founder of Num-Ti-Jah Lodge, first came upon Bow Lake in
1898 he described it as one of the most beautiful places he’d ever seen. For more
than a century thousands of guests, visitors and artists have agreed with his words.
Num-Ti-Jah Lodge overlooks one of the most dramatic scenes in the Canadian Rockies. Out of
Bow Lake the mountains rise, steep and rugged. The blue ice of Crowfoot Glacier hangs
suspended over the turquoise waters. To the west, the craggy peaks of the Continental Divide
tower over the immense Bow Glacier.
A legend of Canadian Rocky Mountain hospitality awaits you, in an atmosphere of secluded
tranquility on the shores of beautiful Bow Lake near Lake Louise, Alberta. Steeped in heritage,
our majestic log lodge invites those
seeking an extraordinary alpine wedding
experience.
We are delighted that you have
considered us to host your special day.
Our Wedding Information Booklet will
provide you with all the information you
need to plan a Rocky Mountain wedding
at Num-Ti-Jah Lodge.
Included you will find a description of our
floor layouts, accommodation, room
rates, our dining room facility, a list of
local wedding suppliers and the terms and
conditions associated with having a
wedding at Num-Ti-Jah Lodge. Sample
menus and wine lists are available on
request as most menus are created to suit
each wedding’s individual needs.

Guest Accommodations
Our beautiful log and stone Lodge has 16 guest rooms that can accommodate up to 52 guests
comfortably. We offer a variety of occupancy options including a choice between a Lake View
and Mountain View room. Each room offers its own unique charm. For the Bride and Groom,
we recommend either Room 8 or 24.
On page 4 and 5 you can see a list of our rooms and their descriptions, so you can create your
own rooming assignments. Once you return the rooming list to us it then becomes up to your
guests to contact us and provide us with their payment details.
In order to provide you with the highest level of service we require that the Lodge is reserved
exclusively for your wedding. This way we can close off the lodge and dining room to all other
potential guests and focus on making your special day truly memorable. All rooms on the day
of your wedding will be blocked off and allocated to your guests. The costs for any rooms not
occupied or being paid for by a wedding guest will remain the responsibility of the Bride and
Groom.

Elkhorn Dining Room
The Elkhorn Dining Room provides an excellent
setting for your reception. The room offers a
warm, relaxed, friendly atmosphere in a
uniquely
Canadian
Rockies
setting
complimented by many heritage regional
animal mounts and a warm fire in the large
stone fireplace. This room is easily decorated
and set-up to fit the atmosphere of your
wedding, whether you are aiming for extremely
elegant or a more casual family dinner feel.
Menus are generally created to suit you. If you have some ideas as to the menu you desire, our
chefs are ready to create a full menu for your wedding reception specific to the needs of you
and your guests. If you would like some ideas, please ask about our sample menus. These
menus, along with suggestions from our chefs, are sure to get your mouth watering and offer a
great starting point for creating your own wedding menu. Remember to keep any children who
may be coming to your wedding in mind. Typically a separate menu would be created for them
with more kid-friendly food items.
In the past we have worked with menus set-up for four, six
and nine course meals. The six and nine course meals
generally include a reception where your guests will be
served a selection of hot canapés and cold hors d’oeuvres.
After the reception your guests will join us in the Elkhorn
Dining Room for dinner.
The dining room can
accommodate up to 70 guests for dinner service.
Exact numbers of guests for the wedding dinner will be required
no later than 3 weeks before your arrival at the lodge. Along with
this please make sure to inform us of any food allergy concerns
that you are aware of.
