I just want to say thank you to Sharon and Malcom on making our wedding day amazing. I was extremely nervous that things wouldnt go to plan, and sharon took all that worry away from me. She helped me get ready, and made sure make me look my best
When we showed up un banff, she was there to greet us and took myself and Daniel to the venue, registry and for a guided tour of Banff.
Sharon was more than willing to work with my demanding family, and took it with class and grace, while still making the day about us and not them.
We would highly recommend working with the Carmichael's. I can't wait to see the pictures, and thanks for being the positive part of our wedding!

Absolutely perfect!
We couldn’t have asked for a better team. The process was stress free, fun and relatively easy. Our wedding day was perfect and we couldn’t be happier.

Best Decision We’ve Ever Made!
Elope In Banff was by far the best decision we could have made regarding our Canadian nuptials. From the start, Sharon was so engaged. She kept in regular contact, and genuinely cared about what we wanted for our special day. She recommended a day of travel, and then a day to meet with her for a couple hours before the wedding day. Meeting with her was one of the favorite parts of our trip. She instantly made us feel welcome and as if we’d known her forever. Not only had she taken care of all the legalities pertaining to our marriage license, but she took us into the registry office and walked us through every step of the process. She also took us into Banff Mountaintop Flowers where we, (mostly Caitlin) got to piece together an assortment of fresh cut flowers for her bouquet and my boutonnière. Sharon then chauffeured us around Banff and gave us a full tour of the city. She highlighted plenty of fantastic hikes, tours, places to shop, and recommended numerous restaurants. She also snapped several pictures of us as well as showing us a few fantastic views. We drove down to the Cascade ponds where she thoroughly went over the plan for the following day, and ran us through a rehearsal ceremony to calm the nerves. The day of the wedding she had two ladies from Salon 1463 arrive at our room to do hair and makeup. It sounded a little awkward, but was the complete opposite! Cass and Sue were so personable. We ended up having a great time with both of them. After they got us looking presentable, Sharon arrived with the rest of her team. We met her lovely husband Malcom, and our videographer, Mike. They not only went out of their way to make us comfortable, but made sure every detail was taken care of, even down to the pearl pin she used for the boutonnière. Sharon came locked and loaded with hairspray, tissues, and all of the other wedding planner necessities. She even utilized a gift bag ribbon in a last minute quick fix to attach a sapphire to Caitlin’s bouquet. The actual ceremony was very intimate on a clearing overlooking Lake Louise. Rob White was our commissioner. We could not have asked for anyone better to officiate our vows. He was so kind and engaged with both of us. After the ceremony we proceeded to the lake front for pictures. Lake Louise was fairly busy at the time and numerous people stopped to take our picture and to congratulate us. Malcom and Mike were both very patient and understanding of all the tourists. Sharon and her team surpassed all of our expectations, as well as handling any and every concern we had about eloping in a foreign country. We would highly recommend Elope In Banff, Salon 1463, Banff Mountaintop Flowers, and Alpine Peak Photography.

Dear Caitlin & Shaylee,
Thank you for choosing me to be your wedding planner, I am truly honored.
And thank you for your amazing review and I want you to know that we all had such a great time with you both!
You two have great chemistry and are really fun to be with!
One of my my favorite things is meeting couples for the first time and showing them around Banff, this is really fun for me and I hope that my "tour" helps you to get more out of your time in the Rockies, and you have a better experience.
Wishing you both an amazing future together and keep in touch!
Lots of love,
Sharon XX
PS. We hope you can come back sometime and enjoy an anniversary in the "10th Wonder of the World" :-)

Best Wedding planners
the wedding planner went above and beyond for us. they answered almost right away no matter what time it was. we did not know what good restaurants were so they gave amazing suggestions off of the kind of food we liked. they were open to any changes that we requested. day of was beyond what we could have asked for. Absolutely no stress about what was going to happen only butterflies. hair and make up stayed in place in the heat. the photographer was funny and sweet. Sharon had everything ready in case anything went wrong and was there to fix the dress to look the best in pictures. my bustle button broke and she was able to sew that and even came right before dinner because the strap on my dress broke. She made it look like new in only a couple minutes. She realized i didn't have a cover to keep warm and lent me her mink wrap. i am going to recommend these guys to anyone i talk to they just took all the stress of planning away and let us enjoy our magical day

Superstars!
Sharon, Claire and Malcolm made our day so special and stress free. Every detail was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. You can add as many extras as you would like, Sharon and Claire have fantastic contacts in the industry and can give you the best recommendations for things you might want to add to your day.
Our day went without a hitch, except for a bit of snow - which claire was fully prepared for! Malcolm the photographer was hilarious and a complete pro. Carl, our commissioner was so friendly and lovely. Christine the florist is a superstar and created exactly what we were after. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better day of team of people behind us.
Thanks again to Sharon and Claire, we would have been lost without you!!

Amazing day!
We could not have asked for a better day with Sharon & Malcolm. We had some unexpected weather but they knew exactly what to do to maximize our day. Our wedding was beautiful and effortless thanks to Sharon’s planning. The photos are better than I could have imagined thanks to Malcolm. I have heard that taking photos can be a bit of a chore but we had fun and laughed all afternoon.
