Everything was perfect even during a global pandemic!
Our elopement ended up being during the Covid-19 pandemic. Sharon took every precaution and was absolutely wonderful to work with, incredibly professional, reassuring, and flexible, even after one postponement and a downgrade in guests. The entire planning process was a breeze and every question we had was promptly answered.
Our tour of Banff was amazing and beautiful; Sharon made everything work somehow even though we ended up having to travel in separate vehicles to maintain social distancing! She was able to make our day incredibly special, full of optimism, and was prepared for anything.
Sharon went above and beyond and it’s clear that she absolutely loves what she does and it shows! I’ll be wishing to relive this day over and over for the rest of my life. 10/10 will recommend to everyone!

Awesome from start to finish
As soon as I reached out to Sharon her calm, efficient, confident manner put me at ease. As the day drew nearer, I found myself thinking there must be something to plan or do for the wedding- but there wasn't! Sharon had it all under control.
I think it is really telling that when I was getting my hair done, the stylist commented that they can always tell when they get one of Sharon's brides because they are always so relaxed! And it is so true! Sharon and her team are incredible and will make your day absolutely magical which allows you to just relax and enjoy the day.
Our sneak peak photos were fabulous! Malcom, the photographer was great at putting us at ease to get incredible shots. I don't think his camera stopped clicking.
All of the vendors that Sharon works with, hair, make-up, flowers, photography, officiant and the Fairmont (where we were married and had our dinner) were wonderful and went above and beyond and really made our day amazing.
If you are looking to elope you can't do better then to choose Sharon and her team. You won't regret it.
Thank you,
Gail & Paul

Stress free wedding In the middle of a pandemic
From the very beginning Sharon has been so helpful, even when we had concerns about getting sick, she calmed me down and replied to every question I had and made our wedding vision come true. Claire was our day of coordinator, I cannot say enough good things about her, she made everything go flawlessly. Her personally made everyone at ease and had everyone laughing all day! Roger was our photographer, he is absolutely brilliant. I got our sneak peaks back and I’m absolutely in awe. He captured our family perfect. His up beat attitude kept us laughing throughout our photos. He was able to capture a very romantic feel to our photos even though my husband and I are quite awkward taking photos! We had an amazing team and I highly recommend this team! Thank you again Sharon, Claire and Roger!!

Blissful & Romantic!
My husband and I eloped in secret October 21st, 2020 in the Cascade Gardens, Banff, AB. We planned our wedding roughly one month before and the team at Elope in Banff made our planning easy and flawless given our quick timeline. We honestly cannot express enough how big of an impact Claire (our wedding planner) and Roger (our photographer) made on our special day. As we eloped in secret, Claire and Roger stepped in as our "family" the day of and did not disappoint. Clairs warm, kind and easy going attitude made us both feel completely at ease and she literally took care of every little detail! From having a faux fur coat on hand (it had just snowed) to taking pictures with our phones so we could have photos right away, to taking the brides shawl on and off a hundred times without complaint , not to mention all of the planning prior to the day of (special thanks to Sharon!), she truly made our special day blissful and flawless. Rogers funny personality, attention to detail, professionalism and talent made for some beautiful photos and a very fun filled day. We felt as though we had a genuine connection with both of them and even though we opted to elope in secret we definitely felt like we had huge supporters on our big day regardless and we will never forget that! I would definitely recommend the team at Elope in Banff for anyone looking to get married in such a magical place!
