Deciding to plan a wedding in a different country can be a very daunting thought...from the minute I contacted Sharon about a wedding at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise all my worries started to fade and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything was so easy and nothing was too much, every question was answered promptly and worries eased.
The pre wedding meeting in Banff was so much more than we expected. Not only did we feel much better after going over all the smaller details of the wedding but the tour of Banff was amazing and so helpful, to the point that we took our friends on the same route when returning to Banff after the wedding!!
The wedding day itself was completely stress free, everything was thought about and done without us having to do anything but enjoy with our family and friends! Friendly is an understatement, everyone felt so at ease!
Our pictures have come out perfect, we couldn’t of wished for anything more for our special day.
THANK YOU!!!

Dear Ashlyne & Adam,
I am so happy to know your whole wedding experience was amazing!
One of my favorite things (after I have planned your wedding) is meeting you both and giving you a personal tour of Banff.
I think it is important to meet your vendors to give you peace of mind (because I have the best team) but also to show you around to get your bearings, talk about all the activities you can do with your family and tell you about my favorite restaurants.
We want you to get the most out of your time in Banff and have an exceptional experience!
We want you to go home with fantastic memories and stunning images.
Thank you for choosing me to be your planner and trusting me with your Elopement Wedding experience, it was truly my honor.
Best wishes
Sharon

Absolutely amazing. Nothing left to chance. Professional and passionate about their job and the couples they work with.
Sharon and Malcolm were the best people to work with. Very professional and so easy to get along with. Sharon planned everything to the minutest detail and no stone was left unturned. My guests were amazed at how smoothly everything ran at the professional fingers of Sharon and Malcolm. I skite about these two to everyone who will listen and if anyone was ever thinking of having a wedding in Banff, Lake Louise or anywhere in Canada these are the people to talk to. I cannot stop thanking Sharon and Malcolm enough for their professional, friendly and speedy service to us and our guests. They made you feel like family the moment you met them. Love them to bits. They are the best.

Magic in Lake Louise
We booked with Elope in Banff because we wanted a unique wedding adventure. We got that and much more.
Sharon and Malcolm are an amazing team. Sharon met with us the day before the wedding, went over all the details, and even gave us a tour of Banff while doing it! She was so professional and so prepared for everything (right down to pantyhose and a spare fur coat to keep me warm). She also selected an excellent team of vendors to work with. Flowers, hair, and makeup, all turned out better than we expected.
The ceremony was perfect, they found a private meadow that over looked the water and a wonderful commissioner. It was the ideal location and a perfect day.
As promised a few days after our wedding we received sneak peak photographs, and they are incredible! We can't wait to receive the rest.
I would highly recommend Elope in Banff to anyone seeking an adventurous wedding. They are professional and know their landscape very well.

Wedding in Banff Garden
Sharon and Malcolm were amazing we can't be more thankful to them and everyone else involved in making our day so special. We will forever remember their kindness. Sharon took the time with us the day before to help us choose a location and stop at the florist to make sure we we satisfied. Despite the rainy day Malcolm was very patient and accommodating to get the shots I really wanted with the falls. Super wonderful people that made us feel so comfortable to be with.

Perfect Elopement Choice
Sharon and Malcolm are absolutely amazing. We went with them through their Elope in Banff package and decided to stay here. They made it so perfect and had such sweet little touches. The cabin was so clean and cosy. It has a full bathroom, microwave, sink, fridge, tv and very comfy bed. The homemade muffins, fruit, orange juice and tea in the mornings were a highlight of the stay. We had cinnamon apple and blueberry muffins. Both were the best muffins we have ever had. I loved the little chocolates, the bride and groom wine glasses, the rose petals left out for us and every little detail they added. It made our elopement perfect and we are so happy we chose Sharon and Malcolm! We look forward to staying here again. Possibly on our anniversaries :)
