OUR STORY
Welcome to CHAR Events, your destination for unforgettable special occasions in Calgary. Co-owners Connie DeSousa and John Jackson have mastered the art of partnership through their critically acclaimed ventures, first making their mark in the city with CHARCUT. Established in 2010, this beloved culinary institution quickly became a cornerstone of Calgary's dining scene, earning both local and national acclaim. Building on this success, they opened charbar in the historic Simmons Building in 2015, CHIX Diner in the East Village Alt Hotel in 2019, and a second CHARCUT location in University District in 2024. Each venue offers a unique dining experience while reflecting the same commitment to quality and community that defines the CHAR brand.
At CHAR Events, we have a venue for every type of occasion. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, or private party, we promise an extraordinary experience infused with culinary excellence and heartfelt hospitality.
