Anderson Farm

The popular adage “Location! Location! Location!” holds just as true for events as it does for real estate. Carrying on in our ongoing efforts to help you plan your events, today we’ll look at Anderson Ranch.  For those looking to book an event outside of the city, its rustic location comes with nature’s very own majestic backdrop.

Map to Anderson Farm

It is, quite literally, a little piece of heaven.

Located just minutes south of Spruce Meadows and right next to Sirocco Golf Course, Anderson Farm is an idyllic equestrian facility with a beautiful and scenic prairie view.

With its marvelous grounds and stunning view, Anderson Farm is perfect for weddings, family events and children’s parties.

Adding to its allure is the fabulous price: The tent rental is $3000 + GST (may change for next year).  This more than reasonable rental price also has you covered when it comes to extras.

For example, Included in the 40×120 tent is:

• flooring and carpet (rain will not come into the tent this way)
• stage and dance floor
• chivari chairs (this year. may change to folding next year)
• 6’ and 8’ long tables and 5’ round tables (seating eight)
• tent heaters and tent lighting (modern chandeliers)
• power is included unless there’s a large amount needed (a band or event lighting for example)
• ceremony and picture spots available
• lots of free parking
• permanent washrooms – hopefully hooked up by May
• podium for speeches

On the flip side, it’s a bit of a hike to the washrooms which feels a little further in poorer weather, but effective tenting can generally solve the problem.  And wheelchair accessibility to washrooms is not available until the permanent facilities are set up. Make sure you check your dates before booking because the facility provides Show Jumping events and so these days are already booked.

Its proximity to Calgary is ideal for those wanting a get away within a one hour drive of the city – but not perfect for those wanting a more urban experience.

For those who want their event to marry Alberta’s wild with comfort and style, Anderson Ranch has all the ingredients to create a beautifuland unforgettable day, and at a very reasonable price.
