What our couples have to say

Real stories from couples who celebrated with us.

SAIT is a stunning venue, we hosted our ceremony outside Heritage Hall and had the cocktail hour and reception in Macdonald Hall and the atrium.

From start to finish, everything was set up flawlessly and the day ran so smoothly. The team provided incredible value for what we received - truly worth every penny.

SAIT is a stunning and affordable place to get married, with standout architecture and fantastic photo opportunities.

The location is unbeatable. Inner-city Calgary makes it so easy for guests to attend. We had our ceremony in the Irene Lewis Atrium, which is all natural light and brick wall backdrop, and the reception in the Macdonald hall which was beautiful and romantic.

SAIT campus has so many great locations for photos. There are downtown views, historic buildings, and the unique architecture of the parking garage and other campus buildings.
