Events at FinePrint
Events Inside the Historic Calgary Herald Building.
Built from 1883–1887 as the home of Calgary's oldest newspaper, the Herald Building has hosted the city's stories for over a century. Today, FinePrint and the Herald Room continue that tradition — with intention, character, history, and a sense of occasion.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone, closing a deal, hosting a corporate event, leading a cooking class, or planning a wedding rehearsal, our team handles the details so you don't have to. Capacities up to 300 guests. Custom menus, full beverage programs, and dedicated event coordinators included on every booking.

Let us design your event
You're not expected to be an event expert.
We lead the planning — you approve the plan.
Our Director of Events & Experiences designs the ideal guest experience — format, flow, menu, beverages, and pacing — so you can confidently approve a recommendation instead of building it from scratch. It removes guesswork, reduces internal second-guessing, and ensures the outcome reflects your brand.
If another venue is better suited, we'll tell you — and help point you to the right place.
