Nestled in the heart of Jasper National Park, this UNESCO World Heritage site draws visitors and event planners from across Canada and beyond. Whether you’re organizing a corporate retreat at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, a community celebration on Patricia Street, or a private gathering with the towering Rockies as your backdrop, Wake Up Starlight delivers world-class live entertainment that matches the grandeur of the mountains themselves.
With a GMA Award, Billboard Top 40 recognition, and over fifteen years of professional performance experience, Wake Up Starlight is Western Canada’s premier live band for hire. We bring the same energy and polish to Jasper that has earned us the trust of venues like the Fairmont Banff Springs and the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise — and we’re proud to extend that same calibre of entertainment to Jasper’s vibrant event scene.
Jasper is one of Western Canada’s most sought-after destinations for corporate retreats and executive off-sites. Companies choose the mountain setting for its ability to inspire creativity and strengthen team bonds — and live entertainment elevates that experience beyond a standard conference agenda. Wake Up Starlight has performed for organizations including Monsanto, Engineered Air, and Visions Electronics, bringing high-energy live music that transforms a corporate dinner into an unforgettable highlight of the retreat. The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, with its lakeside ballroom and Beauvert Room, is a natural fit for our full band setup, while smaller breakout venues throughout the park accommodate our acoustic duo format perfectly.
The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is Jasper’s crown jewel for events, offering everything from intimate lakeside gatherings to grand ballroom galas. As a band trusted by multiple Fairmont properties across the Canadian Rockies, Wake Up Starlight understands the standards these venues demand — impeccable professionalism, seamless coordination with event staff, and performances that complement rather than overpower the setting. We’ve played countless events at Fairmont properties and know how to work within their technical requirements, load-in procedures, and event timelines. Whether it’s a gala dinner in the Great Hall or a sunset cocktail reception on the outdoor terrace overlooking Lac Beauvert, our setlist and volume adapt to create the perfect atmosphere.
Jasper’s community thrives on its festival calendar — from the Jasper Dark Sky Festival drawing astronomy enthusiasts from around the world, to Canada Day celebrations in Centennial Park, to the vibrant après-ski scene at Marmot Basin during winter months. These events call for versatile entertainment that can engage diverse audiences, and Wake Up Starlight’s extensive repertoire spanning rock, pop, country, R&B, and dance hits ensures every crowd finds their favourite songs. Our experience performing at festivals across Western Canada means we arrive with professional-grade sound equipment, handle our own setup efficiently, and deliver performances that keep audiences on their feet from the first note to the last encore.
There’s something magical about celebrating life’s milestones surrounded by the Canadian Rockies. Birthday parties at mountain lodges, anniversary dinners at Jasper restaurants, family reunions at rented cabins along the Athabasca River — these are the moments that deserve a soundtrack as memorable as the setting. Wake Up Starlight brings the party to any Jasper venue, from the Sawridge Inn to the Crimson Jasper hotel, from Tekarra Lodge to private cabin rentals throughout the townsite and surrounding areas. Our flexible setup means we can perform as a full high-energy band for large celebrations or as an intimate acoustic duo for smaller, more personal gatherings.
Our experience in the Jasper area includes performances at and around: the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Sawridge Inn & Conference Centre, Crimson Jasper Hotel, Marmot Lodge, Jasper Activity Centre, Centennial Park, and various private venues throughout the national park. We also serve events in nearby Hinton, providing live entertainment for communities along the Yellowhead Highway corridor between Edmonton and Jasper.
Wake Up Starlight is based in Calgary, and we regularly travel to Jasper for events throughout the year. The scenic drive through the Rockies via Highway 93 or the Yellowhead Highway is one we know well, and our travel logistics are built into our Jasper entertainment packages — no hidden fees or surprise charges. We arrive fully equipped with professional sound and lighting through our partnership with Fermi Audio Visual, ensuring your event sounds incredible regardless of the venue. For multi-day corporate retreats or festival bookings, we offer special extended-engagement rates that make booking premium live entertainment even more accessible.
Every Jasper event is unique, which is why we offer customizable entertainment packages rather than one-size-fits-all pricing. Choose from our full three-piece band experience with professional sound and lighting, our acoustic duo format for intimate mountain settings, or our DJ + Live Band hybrid package that combines the versatility of a DJ with the energy of live musicians. Each package includes consultation with our team to tailor the setlist, timing, and energy level to your specific event. Contact us today to discuss your Jasper event and receive a custom quote.
From the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge to Centennial Park festivals, Wake Up Starlight brings award-winning live music to every mountain occasion. Let us make your Jasper event unforgettable.
