The Cornerstone

Great venue, I love cooking and creating dinners here as a personal chef.

Our team has been blessed to have worked with the Cornerstone since they started and it's such an amazing venue. Their attention to detail and care for the property are second to none I've seen. It's a wonderful place for any event.

My wife and I had the pleasure of booking our wedding ceremony at Cornerstone and have absolutely nothing negative to say about our experience.

From the moment we reserved them as our ceremony location to the day-of, Christina and her team were always in touch with us and making sure everything was perfect. On the day of, she was bringing water to everyone and keeping us fed with doughnuts while also taking behind-the-scenes pictures.

They also made sure that we had to do no setup beyond our personal decor, and had the chairs lined up exactly how we wanted and the pergola set where we wanted it to be. Even when we had a small emergency and didn’t have enough chairs ordered in, Christina managed the situation and brought in extra benches, making sure everything was exactly what we wanted.

The Cornerstone was a lovely venue and we plan to highly recommend it to any of our friends or family searching for a beautiful location to be married.

Thank you so much Christina and team!

Due to Covid we switched our reception location three months prior to our wedding date to accommodate an outdoor reception. We booked with the Cornerstone using their weekend package. The space is beautiful for for a moderately size tented reception. However, there were some flaws in communication that did throw us curveballs last minute and impact our special day.

For us there were a few discrepancies between what we were told in person while looking at the venue vs what was said later on. The contract we were given did not reflect the information we were told by the owners and in fact did not even state anything about the time we needed to be off the property the night of our wedding. When we first did a walk through of the venue we asked what time we had to be out of the venue and we were told “the music had to be turned down at midnight”. About 2 weeks before our wedding we were then told we had to turn down the music by 11pm and had to be out of the venue by midnight because they had to close the gates at 1am. We were extremely disappointed in hearing this and there was nothing of the sort written in the contract. We were able to negotiate a bit of a later end time (1245, but gates still closed at 1am). None of our guests were ready to leave at 1245 and we even had a few people offer to pay more so that we could stay later but they wouldn’t allow it. We can understand and appreciate every venues rules but had this been communicated properly to us from the beginning, we very well may have decided to book somewhere that allowed us to extend our special evening a bit more. The owner is very kind but again, lack of communication with us lead to the grass being watered right before the rental company came to install our tent and made it very difficult for them to set up.

In the end our wedding was still beautiful but it was very stressful communicating with the owner and we felt there were a lot of unexpected and unnecessary surprises that could have been avoided. With it being a newer wedding venue it may be that they need to get a few things ironed out but it wasn’t an entirely smooth process for us.

Hidden gem in Edmonton. This is such a beautiful venue! So many great places for pictures, beautiful architecture and plenty of parking.

The owner and staffs are so sweet and they treat you like they’ve known you forever.
Christina is amazing and was so helpful the entire way through.
Our wedding was a garden wedding and she even made arrangements for us just in case it rains.

If you’re looking for a unique venue, Cornerstone is definitely the place.
