Brewster's Kananaskis Guest Ranch

Don't Be Fooled By The Scenery!!

A beautiful ranch located in beautiful Kananaskis and that is pretty much all there is positive about this place. It was a nightmare to book a wedding there right from the start (looking back - listening to our gut instinct would of proved to be beneficial). The Manager of the ranch is not accommodating at all. She was rude, abrupt and didn’t provide timely correspondence, which proved quite frustrating in the planning phase. The food was nothing to rave about, actually we even had raw hamburgers served at our rehearsal dinner for which no compensation was offered (some guests didn’t eat!), staff were caught eating off from our BBQ, the midnight snack was taken away before the majority of guests were able to touch it, our celebration got shut down on the first evening there because "the chef couldn’t sleep!".... Even though we were out in the middle of nowhere and chose the ranch primarily so we could enjoy ourselves until the wee hours of the morning. The DJ was told that he should of brought his own table for his setup, the bar was opened during dinner which was contrary to our instructions, we paid gratuities on top of all charges at the ranch yet the staff still had tip jars out at the bar making our guests feel obliged to tip, there was ample wine from the tables left over yet the staff couldn't find it the next day?? etc etc etc.. we could go on and on.
We would not recommend the Kananaskis guest Ranch to anyone, specifically for a wedding. Our day was wonderful only because of our friends and family who came out to enjoy the wedding. Of course, the scenery made the day beautiful along with amazing weather but behind the scenes the manager at the Ranch made a point of posing challenge after challenge. Our poor wedding coordinator! Additionally, we shared our feedback at the Ranch after the wedding and there was absolutely no form of compensation offered. Nothing at all, not even an apology! WOW.

Unique Quality: The scenery is absolutely stunning, the cabins were clean. The donut tent was a perfect venue (logistically) for a wedding. Otherwise not many postives to share, certainly not due to the Ranch! Sorry!
