This idea came from our own experience getting married, let me tell you I wish we couldve found a venue like this 5 years ago... I will never forget the moment at 11:55 pm, I was finally beginning to relax, get loose on the dance floor, and share some great laughs with old friends... in that moment the venue owner came up and told us we needed to turn the music off, start cleaning up and be out by 1 am... there I was glowing from the tequila shots I just had with my groomsmen, finally ready to celebrate, and the night was over... It was a horrible feeling of disappointment... Thats when I vowed to create a place that would give people a new experience and enable them to truly celebrate as I wish I could have that day... the memories of your wedding stay with you forever, they are priceless, and you deserve to be able to live out that moment to the fullest!
Imagine going to one place for your ceremony, photographs, all night reception, and overnight camping so your priceless memories are not interrupted. Our property gives you the freedom to enjoy your magical moment to the absolute fullest. Come for the day, stay for the night and experience something epic!

I have the be honest, I was expecting to see a new and exciting venue. What I wasn't expecting was the feeling of peace that surrounds it or the grounded, spiritual sense that pervades it. Even now, I still find myself a little awestruck. The mountains, smack dab in the prairies.

Obsidian is a beautiful site perfect for festivals, weddings and all other sorts of friendly gatherings. Through obvious tireless effort and vision, the owners have created an intimate, outdoor setting. The Amphitheatre is an outstanding place to listen to and dance to music. I look forward to attending more events in this special place.

What an amazing space created by such vision, passion and hard work by an extraordinary person and a team of amazing people. The landscaping and permaculture are outstanding. This will be a legendary venue and space. Dogs Echo and Elli love people and make you feel safe and a part of the family and are only one of the special things that Obsidian has to offer you will not find else where. I highly recommend this space. Kelly is an amazing human who treats people very well. I can't say enough good things about this place and the people that created and run it.

I get so excited when I see people's dreams become a reality. I think It's because I can appreciate how much risk and bravery goes into pursuing your dreams. It's not for the faint of heart.
Last week I got to check out a brand new Wedding Venue just outside Sherwood Park. I was blown away by the hard work and passion that went into this place. A must see for anyone planning their wedding or looking for a super cool music venue.

I had the opportunity of seeing the Obsidian location when they were working on it and it will be a venue that will sure be talked about and you must see all the work that was put in it! A place for excitement and great memories!
