Detailed information and photos from weddings here at Water Valley Church Events Centre

Charming, Rustic, Elegant

We love weddings!
This is a privately owned Events Centre and the Perfect Wedding Venue.
We have had the honour of hosting over 75 weddings since opening our doors 5 years ago.

Christ the King Church
was built in 1936 and lovingly maintained as a catholic church until 2001.

Now this beautiful building has been restored to suit a wide variety of events for not only the community that built it,
but anyone who wants a unique venue to host or celebrate with friends and family.
The church has been restored but retains all the character in the original windows, woodwork,
choir loft, hardwood floors and glass door knobs just to mention a few.

Celebrate in style and surrounded by history.
We look forward to your visit and to helping you plan your special event.

This picturesque former church is located in the centre of historic Water Valley, Alberta.
(Only 45 mins NW of Calgary)

Picking a venue for your wedding is
one of the most important parts of the planning process!
Not only is it where you’ll tie the knot, but it sets the tone
for the whole wedding day.
