Hidden Gem Wedding Venues in Southern Alberta: Coaldale Civic Square
Looking for a unique Alberta wedding venue for your wedding celebration? If you’re planning a Southern Alberta wedding and want something a little different, you may be surprised to discover this hidden gem in the Town of Coaldale. The Coaldale Civic Square is a beautiful and modern wedding venue located just outside of Lethbridge, making it a perfect option for couples searching for Southern Alberta wedding venues with character and flexibility.
Welcome to Katherine and Mitchell’s wedding day; a celebration full of love, personality, and meaningful details. This sweet couple officially tied the knot on November 8, 2025, surrounded by their closest loved ones and officiated by none other than Jack Sparrow (yes, really!). I absolutely love when couples incorporate quirky, personal elements into their wedding day, it’s what makes your celebration feel truly YOU.
Their wedding took place in the heart of Coaldale Civic Square, a newly renovated space designed to bring the community together. The venue is part of a multi-faceted recreational, commercial, and economic development project and offers a clean, modern atmosphere that photographs beautifully. The open-concept interior hall is ideal for both wedding ceremonies and receptions, while the surrounding outdoor areas provide lovely spots for romantic couple portraits, a dream for any Alberta wedding photographer.
Katherine and Mitchell chose to host a brunch-style wedding, which I absolutely love seeing more couples embrace. Brunch weddings are becoming increasingly popular across Alberta, offering greater flexibility, better mid-day pricing, fewer vendor costs, and the freedom to truly enjoy the rest of your wedding day (wink wink). The venue offers plenty of space, a built-in bar for guest refreshments, and a ceremony podium that ensures all your guests have a clear view as you say “I do.”
For catering and bartending needs, couples can reach out to Country Kitchen Catering, who takes care of setup, food, and beverage service, making the planning process that much easier. And can we talk about the cake for a moment? Bluey-inspired wedding décor is always welcome in my books, wholesome, fun, and incredibly sweet. The donuts were the perfect individual dessert option for guests, with multiple flavours that everyone could enjoy.
If the Coaldale Civic Square wedding venue speaks to you and your wedding vision, I highly recommend reaching out to learn more about hosting your celebration there.
