What Our Guests Say

Sarah Johnson

Mother of Bride

"A wonderful place for any event. We had our daughter’s wedding here and it was well worth the money. Rupert Neuman is a joy to deal with, Lois Derksen is an incredible caterer. The Chapel was perfect, reminiscent of a rustic hunting lodge. We rented the dining hall and Called To Serve caterer run by Lois Derksen and it was wonderful. Highly highly recommend."

"Went here for a weekend retreat. Good setup. It’s a quick drive from Edmonton so you aren’t spending half the day on the highway. Grounds are kept up well, staff were helpful and easy to deal with. Good place if you need to host a group and want everything simple and taken care of."

"We had our 4 & 6 year olds birthday party at the Harmony centre with the pool and it exceeded our expectations. It’s bigger than you’d imagine. Loads of space for small kids to run around and flexible with your time in the room and pool. Rupert was the cherry on top lovely and easy to deal with. Highly recommend booking any type of event here."
