Combining the rustic charm of the Rockies with the warmth and vibrancy of Italian hospitality, The Fat Ox offers an unmatched setting for weddings and private events in Banff, Alberta.

Located inside the brand-new Kenrick Hotel, The Fat Ox blends contemporary alpine design with rich, old-world character, creating a welcoming and elevated atmosphere for gatherings of all sizes.

Looking to host your entire wedding weekend in one location?
The Kenrick Hotel and Fat Ox offer a fully integrated experience that makes planning seamless and stunning. Welcome your guests with a cocktail reception at The Fat Ox, host your ceremony and reception in The Arrowwood — a private, beautifully designed event space on-site — and encourage guests to extend their stay to relax and unwind in our exclusive Nora Pool. Morning coffees and pastries are served daily at Analog Coffee, located just off the main lobby.
