We could not have picked a better wedding planner and photographer. Sharon and Malcolm are amazing at what they do! They went above and beyond our expectations, making our day extra special. Our first photos have been exceptional. I highly recommend them to anyone!

Sharon and Malcolm made sure our special day didn't just go smoothly, but flawlessly and was a huge amount of fun to boot. Sharon anticipated issues with crowd/queues and adjusted the ceremony time accordingly which worked wonderfully.
Even before the wedding day Sharon was making our experience special, with a tour of town and surrounds, recommendations on what to see while we were around and some great stories with local colour.

My fiance and I knew from the beginning that we wanted a wedding as magical and romantic as our own love story...Sharon and Michael of Elope In Banff gave us more than we had even imagined. Sharon's promptness to answer my countless questions via e-mail was impressive, especially since we were almost 2,000 miles away from one another. I was especially in awe by her attention to detail on the wedding day - from making sure my dress was just right for every picture, to having Kleenex and band-aids on hand when I needed them, to making sure we had a wedding cake topper (even though we had forgotten to bring one!). My fiance and I were thrilled to get our sneak-peaks less than 24 hours post-ceremony and were in awe of the beauty Malcolm captured. Malcolm and Sharon made a perfect team, complimenting each other and ensuring every single picture would be worth a thousand words. Malcolm made us feel comfortable and encouraged us to choose how we wanted some of our pictures (Sharon and him surprised us by having us recreate the picture that made us fall in love with Lake Louise - again, another perfect touch!).

Our 3 nights at their Banff Log Cabin B&B was more grand than we had expected - Sharon and Malcolm attended to our every need and put thought into the smallest aspects of our stay (our favorite was the personalized card they left for us next to our champagne and cake when we returned from our wedding dinner...a close 2nd was the scrumptious home-baked muffins!). Their knowledge of Banff was extremely helpful - they easily shared places to go and how to get there. We greatly enjoyed using their 2 bicycles to ride around Bow River and Vermillion Lake - everywhere we looked, we were in awe of the beauty and wildlife.

Sharon and Malcolm, thank you again for sharing our day with us and making our fairytale come true!

Best,
Bentz and Megan

Hi Megan & Bentz,
It was our pleasure to plan and be part of your special day. We are so happy you chose Lake Louise for your wedding ceremony and Moraine Lake for more portraits. You both look stunning!
Thanks for staying at the Banff Log Cabin and so happy to know you enjoyed that too. Keep in touch.

Sharon and Malcolm helped make our wedding day magical. We planned a heli wedding but mother nature had different plans for us. As soon as we found out the morning of our wedding that it wasn't safe to fly, Sharon sprung to action to ensure we still had the best day ever and she did not disappoint! Our day was everything we dreamed it would be and more. Sharon really helped make our day a fun and stress free experience. Everything was absolutely perfect. Big thank you to Sharon and Malcolm!

Elope In Banff's reply:

Hi Jenn, Thanks for your lovely review and we are happy to know that despite mother nature you had a perfect wedding day! We love weddings! Sharon XX

Catherine Saretsky, Married on 14/07/2017

We were confident in Sharon as our planner from the first phone call. She made us feel so relaxed when we met her the day before the wedding and made everything on the day of the wedding so easy! The flowers, venue, hair, makeup and commissioner were amazing. Malcolm was our photographer from Alpine Peak Photography and was very professional. Our sneak peek photos are stunning! Sharon and Malcolm have a tonne of experience and it really shows. Our 8 wedding guests raved about Sharon an Malcolm as well. If you want a beautiful and seamless mountain wedding look no further!

We adore Sharon & Malcolm!! They are amazing at what they do! We didn't have to worry about anything. They are wonderful to work with and be around. We are honored to call them our friends. We highly recommend them.

Tiffany Stefishen, Married on 05/07/2017

Roger is a very professional photographer and our pictures turned out amazing! The views in the background of the pictures were spectacular! Roger made it easy to work with him as he was very easy going and made sure everything was perfect! Super impressed!

Jessica Wiens, Married on 05/07/2017

We started planning our wedding roughly a year in advance, from the time I contacted Sharon she was there to help with every detail. She would call me instead of email when needed and always answered our questions promptly.
We got together the day before the wedding to go over some details as well as be shown some great spots in Banff. She made us feel like family!
On our wedding day Sharon and Malcom were there right from the start making sure everything was perfect. They went above and beyond and we really had a lot of fun with them!
The pictures we have received so far are beautiful and I cannot wait to see the rest!!

Thank you so much!! We would highly recommend Elope in Banff for the wedding of your dreams!!
