Prairie wedding venue & upscale cabin retreats in Central Alberta

This doesn’t just Feel Hosted. It Feels Held.

Open Country Farm is a privately held event centre and cabin retreat set on the Alberta prairie — 70 minutes northeast of Calgary, where the land opens wide and the sky holds everything. We host weddings, gatherings, and overnight stays for people who want to celebrate somewhere that feels genuinely theirs — not rented, not rushed, not ordinary. Wayne and Lydia Nelson or their staff are on the property for every event, because this place was built on the belief that the people who welcome you are as important as the place itself.

  • We have held a retreat at Open Country Farm for the last two years. They have always been very warm and welcoming hosts. They worked with us for our unique needs for the day and were so supportive in creating the right atmosphere for a truly restorative retreat.

  • This place is amazing! They hosted a wedding I attended. The property was immaculate. The hosts are fabulous and competent. I highly recommend Open Country Farms for any event you want hosted.

  • Wayne and Lydia (the owners) are wonderful people and so welcoming and generous. They have done a beautiful job setting up and renovating the place. We find it so peaceful at their farm and enjoy the lovely Prairie surroundings and sunny Alberta sky. We are very excited to try out the new cabins next time!
