Elope in Banff are the best!
Christianne and the Elope in Banff team are absolutely incredible! We are from FL and have never visited Banff, and were hesitant about planning a wedding with 20+ people in a place we knew very little about. Very quickly, we realized we were in excellent hands and everything about our wedding day was perfect. We truly felt like we showed up for a vacation and never had any of the wedding stress. The vendors that Elope in Banff partners with are the best of the best in Banff. If we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing. From the ceremony, to the photos, and the beautiful reception dinner set-up, everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you again to the whole team!

Lake Louise Elopement: Mekenna & Andrew
The entire team involved with our elopement experience exceeded our expectations every single step of the way. From initial contact, through planning, in-person consultation, the big day, and all support afterwards, every aspect of the service created an incredible and unforgettable experience. Each person and service provider associated with Elope in Banff was responsive, helpful, professional, and clearly dedicated to making our elopement an absolute highlight of a lifetime. We wish that we could re-live it over and over again, and we would encourage as many couples as we possibly can to book their wedding with Elope in Banff. The service, experience, and group of people are truly special!

Fairytale wedding in Banff!
We had an absolutely amazing experience with the Elope in Banff team from start to finish. From our initial call, Christianne customized an itinerary to fit our needs, and in the months approaching the wedding she always promptly answered my million questions with kindness and grace. It is very clear that they know what they are doing in the Banff area - every vendor we interacted with, from the florists to the driver to the officiant - were so kind and phenomenal. Our day-of coordinator Caitlin and photographer Kalla were so much fun and actually felt like old friends by the end of the day.
And the best part - my husband and I were able to completely let go of the stress on our wedding day and put our full trust in the EiB team. As a very anxious person, this is incredibly rare for me - but after our meeting the day before the wedding with Caitlin, we both felt like we could completely let go and trust her. She handled everything - from holding onto our wedding rings, to making sure my dress was always fluffed, to having a tampon for my cousin 😂
Our entire family had a magical time and all said that it was the best wedding they’ve ever experienced. We can’t say enough positive things about the EiB team and would recommend them 1000x over to any bride and groom looking for a magical, stress-free wedding experience!

Elope in Banff
We are so grateful to the Elope in Banff team for making our wedding day so beautiful and memorable. They helped to make it stress-free with excellent planning and coordination each step of the way. We have big families with small children and they handled our larger group very well during the ceremony/photos afterward. We also appreciated getting a tour around Banff the day before the wedding and recommendations from locals. Everyone we met was kind and welcoming, they have a great team. You will not regret booking with Elope in Banff for your special day.

Quintessential elopement
I do not normally leave reviews BUT Elope in Banff HIGHLY deserves an exemplary feedback because this team knows how to deliver spectacular results. The transition from being nearly-weds to newly-weds was fun and seamless thanks to EB. Christianne , our main contact is affable, thoughtful and cares about details. What a delight to work with! ; Simon , our photographer knows how to bring out a person's best smile while sitting on a high terrace just to capture a perfect shot. The photos were more than what we hoped for ; Mai (My) was always waiting and ready with her purse filled with essentials on our wedding day ; The prices were so reasonable for the value that you get to experience , the stress that you never need to worry and memories that you get to cherish. Thank you Elope in Banff for everything.

Highly recommend Elope in Banff!
Elope in Banff provided a top-notch experience for my wife and me when we eloped. We initially met Christianne virtually, at which time she clearly explained the services the company would provide. During that conversation, we explained our vision for the ceremony and she assured us that Elope in Banff would arrange for everything to be prepared as we had requested. In the time leading up to the wedding, her and her team contacted us as necessary to ensure that everything was ready when we arrived in Banff.
We were met by Caitlin in Banff for a tour of the city so we could choose our favorite sites for the ceremony and photos to be taken. The tour was fun and we appreciated her knowledge of the different sites we visited.
We really appreciated that Elope in Banff arranged for the marriage license with the local government office, arranged for a local florist to prepare our bouquet, arranged for the officiant, and provided us with a stylist on the morning of the wedding. It was very nice to arrive confident that everything was ready to go. The morning of the wedding, we did a photo session with Simon and Caitlin which was wonderful. Simon had some very creative ideas for photos and he was very attentive to what we wanted during the photo shoot. He made us both feel very comfortable which certainly contributed to the photos being so wonderful. Simon’s photos captured the scenery perfectly while also making sure we were the focus.
We got married in March so the weather was quite cold and it did snow during our ceremony. Simon and Caitlin kept electric handwarmers available for us to help keep us warm and also kept the car running so we could keep warm between photos when necessary. During a freezing cold day, they made sure we were warm enough to power through all of the photos we wanted to take.
After the wedding, we were provided with a full digital album of both black and white and color photos. They were easy to access and we are nothing but impressed with how they turned out. In short, Elope in Banff provided us with a stress-free, fun, and joyful wedding experience. We would highly recommend them to anyone planning to elope in Banff.
