Holly D. Getting married on 30/09/2023An absolute dream wedding!
Such a wonderful experience and had a very fun day with them! We planned to get married outside and when we got to the venue it started pouring rain! They were very quick to fix the problem and get us to our indoor venue and get set up quickly so not to waste any time! They drove us around to a handful of spots we wanted to get
Photos at and got some really cool shots. Made us laugh which helped to make our posed photos more authentic. Would definitely recommend :-) -

Destiny J. Getting married on 29/07/2023Amazing experience!
Words can not explain how awesome this was! Due to some changes, our wedding went from 170+ guests a year away to 15 within a month! Sharon was great to work with. She helped all my visions come true. I didnt get to have my big dream wedding but instead I got to have a small beautiful wedding in a beautiful place! There are so many options for your wedding portraits and the tour for that is fun! (even more so if you dont bring your kids haha). The harpist plays so beautifully! The limo was 100% worth it for all of us! I dont have all my photos back yet (still too early) but what i was given already are so great! Bryan captured such great details of our wedding and worked with us to have our ideas come alive. He's a great photographer to work with! If you can, invest in the videographer! I wasnt going to and im SO GLAD I did. I was SO HAPPY with the hair stylist! She 100% brought my vision alive. My hair looked awesome! (I did not use their makeup artist or florist so cant review that part). Doing a elopement package with Elope In Banff is 100% worth it! It's a experience plus a wedding! Everyone had a great time!-

Carol Married on 21/01/2023Absolutely beyond impressed!
Sharon and her team are simply the best! Every aspect was considered and managed including our chaotic kids :) My wedding day went perfectly, we enjoyed the photo shoot with Malcolm whom was fabulous. I’m the type of person who does all her own planning etc and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Sharon exceeded in every way possible. I highly recommend Sharon and her team!! -

Kirsty Married on 22/11/2022Magical Banff Elopment
Couldn't recommend Sharon and the team at Elope in Banff highly enough!! We flew from the UK to Elope and could fly stress free knowing Sharon had everything organised.
Having been to Banff previously, we were not sure if we needed the tour of Banff, but this is such a great little treat that we were so pleased to have. You can't beat a local resident as a tour guide!
The day itself was truly magical and we spent hours having fun and laughing together. Sharon was incredibly attentive and was always on hand to help (even when we didn't know we needed help!).
Bryan was our photographer on the day and he really made us feel really comfortable throughout. He suggested some great shots and the sneak peaks that we have received so far are absolutely beautiful!!
We also added videograpgy and are again so pleased with the end result. Not only did Michael get the finished video over to us in a little over a week for a party we were hosting back home, he also happily made a second version on our request that didn't include our private personal vows.
Absolutely everything was perfect, completely stress free and most of all, great fun!

Kira U. Married on 06/11/2022It was a breeze!
So quick and so easy! No stress! When the wedding was done it was so normal it was like; Did that just happen? Are we married now? Already?! All the people involved were great! We did get what we paid for! It was fantastic! If you want something stress free and want to tie the knot with your betrothed without being overwhelmed please book with Elope in Banff. We chose the simply elope package and it was still amazing! They know what they are doing and made this so easy for us to get married. There’s a reason why they have been doing so well for 20+ years! Both my husband Mark and I thank you again and we recommend your services to anyone getting married. Thanks again!Elope In Banff's reply:

Zahra Married on 28/10/2022Elope in Banff
Elope in Banff did an outstanding service. Through out the scheduling, promptness of emails and calls Sharon was responsive and offered so much support and patience. On our wedding day we worked with Bryan who was very pleasant, kind and amazing to work with.
And Sarah was like the best friend I needed, so thoughtful and patient. She helped me with my dress and my perfectly handsome sons lol 😂 It felt more like family who were doing everything possible to make you feel special. We also got a sneak peek at the photos and I was in awe! It was truly a magical day for us. Highly recommend elope in Banff!Elope In Banff's reply:

Judy N. Married on 15/10/2022Exactly What We Asked For
This was a really wonderful experience for the two of us. Sharon took care of everything and even picked us up and drove us to and from our wedding venue. Her husband Malcolm took beautiful pictures of our wedding that we will always cherish.
Sharon and Malcolm were our witnesses and each had a really nice manner that made us feel at ease.
The marriage commissioner, Carl , who Sharon engaged to marry us, was warm and engaging and the service was meaningful and felt very personal. Sharon and Malcolm and Carl made this day perfect for us. We can’t thank you enough! -
