We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect experience than what Elope in Banff created for our wedding! The whole day went by like a movie and still feels like a dream. From start to finish, EIB made our elopement so special, easy, and stress-free. They took care of every detail, from suggesting locations (complete with pros and cons for each) to handling the required paperwork, coordinating our flowers, and even helping us choose the ideal time of day for that golden mountain glow. The team’s local knowledge and passion for the Banff area truly made a difference — they knew all the most stunning and private spots.
Christianne was incredible at listening to our vision and enhancing it with creative, personalized touches. She thought of details we’d never even considered but absolutely loved in the end. It was clear she cared about every aspect of our day, which helped us relax and fully enjoy the moment. Communication was seamless, even though we were on different continents with an 8-hour time difference. All we had to do was travel from Germany to Banff and show up. Meeting Christianne beforehand also made a huge difference; on the day of our wedding, it felt like being with a friend rather than a stranger, which made the ceremony feel even more special and heartfelt.
Twyla, our commissioner (chosen by Christianne), had such a warm, kind demeanor that she instantly took away any nervousness we had. She brought a personal touch to our ceremony, making it feel truly intimate and wholehearted. Twyla’s words and presence made our vows feel truly special and meaningful.
A huge thank you to Simon, our photographer, who made us feel comfortable in front of the camera — something we didn’t think was possible! We both are camera-shy, but Simon’s & Christianne’s friendly, easygoing approach and guidance helped us relax and be ourselves. Simon captured the magic of the mountains and the joy of the day so perfectly. We couldn’t believe how stunning our sneak peek photos turned out and can’t wait to see the rest of them.
Thanks to EIB, we have amazing photos, unforgettable memories, and a day we will cherish forever. If you’re considering a beautiful, intimate wedding in the mountains, look no further. EIB is absolutely the best choice! Thank you for making our dream day a reality! And all this on a pretty tight timeline — we wouldn’t have been able to get married this year if we had tried to plan it ourselves. EIB pulled everything together beautifully and made it feel effortless! We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and are so grateful for their expertise, quick communication, and genuine care in making our day unforgettable.
We’re so grateful for this experience and can’t recommend EIB highly enough! Five stars aren’t enough! We’ll be back for our vow renewal one day! :)Elope In Banff's reply:

Love,

We cannot thank the team at ‘Elope in Banff’ enough! From start to finish they did an absolutely fantastic job at ensuring our special day in Lake Louise was truly magical.
Christianne’s warmth, professionalism and brilliant attention to detail ensured the wedding planning from abroad was a breeze. Her stage managing of the wedding on the day put everyone at ease and ensured the day went perfectly, and that we, as the bride and groom, felt like royalty! Simon was an absolutely brilliant photographer, and went above and beyond to capture every shot possible, and we couldn’t be happier with the stunning photos.
Thank you so much to the entire team for ensuring our day was perfect. Elope in Banff surpassed our wildest expectations and will always have a special place in both our hearts!

Elope in Banff truly crafted our dream wedding day. As a couple living outside of Canada, we were torn between managing everything ourselves or hiring a coordinator—and we’re so grateful we chose the latter. From our very first phone call with Chris, we felt completely supported and confident that we were in expert hands.
Chris, Simon, and Caitlin were incredibly kind and knowledgeable, ensuring we felt truly special every step of the way throughout our day. Although our wedding morning started off rainy, they swiftly arranged alternatives to ensure everything went smoothly. By the afternoon, the skies cleared, revealing a stunning double rainbow over the mountains! Our guests can’t stop raving about their professionalism, warmth, and impeccable service. Twyla was absolutely wonderful, making our ceremony feel deeply personal and memorable.
We cannot recommend Elope in Banff highly enough. If you’re on the fence, just go for it—you won’t regret it! Thank you all so much for an unforgettable experience; we will cherish these memories forever!Elope In Banff's reply:
Sarah and Andrew!! Thank you so much for this amazing review. It really means the world to know you had a fabulous experience with Elope In Banff!

Elope in Banff
Our wedding with elope in Banff was INCREDIBLE! The entire experience was so personal and special and I couldn’t have asked for a better day. Christianne made us feel so special and took care over every little detail! I truly didn’t have to worry one bit about the wedding because she was so on top of everything! Having that peace of mind coming from the US to Canada for the first time was so important. Our entire wedding party was beyond impressed with the entire experience and Christianne’s attention to detail. Elope in Banff is the way to go!Elope In Banff's reply:
Thank you so much, Nadia and Mark! We are absolutely thrilled for you both and it was a pleasure being your planner and getting to know you both:) Thank you for your kind words - I love my job!!
Lots of love,

Elope in Banff should be your first choice for any wedding in the Banff area. I've never experienced such an organized, customized and family oriented service like one that was provided for our wedding. As someone who came from outside Canada to get married, we were incredibly nervous about forgetting something but thankfully we were lucky enough to find Elope in Banff. I could never even begin to put in words the level of customized experience we received. It was like having your best friend plan everything for you. Chris was absolutely amazing through the whole planning experience. She took any worry away that we had and really put us at ease. Everything was so well put together from the first moment we reached out. Think you are blown away by their package selections...wait until you see the location in person. We chose Peyto Lake and it was STUNNING. Having the itinerary put together and know what the day will be like way ahead of time allowed peace of mind. The day of was tremendous and our photographer Simon was spectacular. Chris and Simon really made our day special, treated our 10 guests like they were family, and made this major life event the most amazing day ever. Big shout out to Twyla and Sonya for also making the day so special. This was some of the best service ever received and if I could give more than five stars, I would. Chris and Simon, you both are amazing, and I hope you continue to make special memories like this for a very long time! You didn't find a career, you found a calling. Love you both! Thank You So Much!Elope In Banff's reply:
Derek and Rantez! This honestly made me shed tears of happiness. It means so much that you know how much we truly care about you both and your experience! I am so happy that we were there for you, and I am grateful for the connection we made! You are both such kind and generous human beings, and I am happy I know you! What a perfect day up at Peyto Lake, and such an incredible adventure for all your lovely family and friends to have been a part of. Simon and I wish you all the best and please keep in touch if you are back in Banff:) Another big congratulations to you!!!💗
Lots of love,

Elope in Banff is absolutely incredible!! We truly cannot say enough outstanding compliments about Christianne, Simon and their entire team!! They exemplify the true meaning of professionalism and go out of their way to provide you with a stress-free experience right from the start!! They are very responsive and detail oriented.

We met them the day before at the registry, went to view the flowers and got a breathtaking tour of the area and the wedding venue! Our whole experience with them was absolutely fabulous!! They made us feel like royalty on our wedding day and made every effort to make everything absolutely perfect!! Thank you, Elope in Banff, for making our dreams come true!!

Elope in Banff is exactly the group of people you want besides you on your special day! Not only did they think of every last detail but they went above and beyond in so many ways! Christianne’s communication skills were unmatched! She answered all of our silly questions and was able to capture every detail from a country away. Our photographer, Simon was absolutely incredible! He went out of his way to get every shot possible. He jumped around the mountain side strapped with cameras putting his Fjällräven pants to the test! He shared the same excitement to photograph the wedding that my husband and I did to get married. Caitlin was like our new best friend. The day before the wedding she showed us around Banff to come cool spots. The day of the wedding she was professional and kept the train moving! She was prepared for EVERYTHING! She even brought water and snacks for during our photography session. Last but certainly not least our videographer Michael made being filmed seem natural. He was able to capture our special moments without it feeling like a production. The way Michael and Simon worked together made the whole experience fun and energetic!
All in all, our experience with elope in Banff was overly exceeded and I cannot recommend this wonderful group of people more!
Love,

Zachary M. Sent on 06/09/2024The best wedding planner EVER!! : )
Christianne was our wedding planner with Elope in Banff. She has been absolutely incredible since day 1! We chose the Moraine Lake package for our wedding day. She handled every detail with such care, dedication, and professionalism making the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. Her attention to detail and ability to bring our vision to life has truly exceeded our expectations. Any time we had questions she was quick to respond and made sure that we had all the answers we needed in order to feel prepared for our wedding day as we traveled from the United States. We highly recommend Christianne and her talented team to anyone looking to make their wedding day unforgettable. A special thank you to the team put together by Christianne, the photographer (Simon) , videographer (Jasmine), officiant (Twyla), Harp (Deborah) who went above and beyond to make our wedding day so special. Their talent, creativity, and attention to detail ensured every moment was captured perfectly. We are forever grateful for their hard work and for making our day PERFECT!Elope In Banff's reply:
Zachary and Sabrina! Thank you for the amazing review! I was absolutely thrilled to be your planner and bring your day to life. You two were such a joy to work with and I am so happy I was there on your special day!! Lots of love to you both for all the adventures to come!
