I communicated with Lorelle only through email as we are from Winnipeg. It came out even more beautiful than I imagined.

How We Work Together

Four ways to plan your perfect wedding

From a fully guided elopement to comprehensive full planning — every package is built entirely around you.

Wooden

Just you, the mountains, and the best day of your life.

We handle absolutely everything so all you have to do is show up, look incredible, and say I do. No spreadsheets. No stress. Just magic.

The Experience

Your elopement is not a smaller wedding — it is a more intentional one. Every detail, every vendor, every moment is chosen specifically for the two of you.

We scout locations in the Canadian Rockies that match your vision — whether that's a wildflower meadow, a glacial lakeshore, a canyon, or a mountain summit. We handle permits, pack-in and pack-out logistics, and all vendor coordination. Leave No Trace is a value, not just a policy.

On your day, you simply arrive. We handle everything else.

Frequently asked questions

Booking & Availability

The Canadian Rockies are one of the world's most sought-after destination wedding locations, and peak season dates — June through September, long weekends, and holidays — fill up quickly. We recommend reaching out 12 months ahead for full-planning packages, and a minimum of 6 months for coordination-only services. That said, if your date is closer, please don't hesitate to enquire — we love a beautifully executed last-minute plan.

A signed contract and a 50% deposit confirm your date and take it off the market. Until both are received, the date remains available to other enquiries. We'll walk you through our contract clearly before you sign anything.

No. Once your date is booked, it's yours entirely. You have our full attention, our full team, and everything we've got — without distraction. That's a promise.

Life happens. Our cancellation policy is outlined in full in your contract and varies depending on how far in advance changes are made. We always try to work with couples during difficult circumstances — please reach out as soon as possible if anything changes.

Packages & Pricing

We offer four packages designed for every kind of couple. Run Away With Me is our all-inclusive elopement package from $9,000 CAD. The Whole Gorgeous Thing is full planning from start to finish, from $7,000 CAD. We Got You, Babe sweeps in for the final weeks and full day-of coordination from $4,000 CAD. And Just Say Yes delivers all the essentials for a simple, beautiful ceremony from $3,500 CAD. Full details are above in our packages menu.

Packages begin at $3,500 CAD. Full pricing is shared after an initial discovery call, as each wedding has its own scope, guest count, and complexity. You'll always receive a detailed proposal with no hidden fees before any commitment is made.

Yes — a 50% non-refundable retainer is required to hold your date. The remaining balance is structured in instalments outlined in your contract. We accept Interac e-Transfer, credit card, and bank transfer.

Our planning fee covers our time, expertise, and coordination. Vendor costs, venue hire, permits, accommodation, catering, florals, and all third-party expenses are separate and outlined clearly in your personalised budget. Travel fees may apply for weddings outside the Canmore/Banff corridor. We will always be upfront about what's included and what isn't.

What's Included

Everything. Venue sourcing and site visits, vendor research and booking, contract review, budget management, timeline creation, rehearsal coordination, floor plan design, styling and aesthetic direction, and full day-of execution. We are your single point of contact from the moment you book until the moment you drive away as newlyweds.

Yes — with 17 years of floristry experience (including running Forget-Me-Not Flowers in Banff), florals are part of our DNA. We can design and source blooms in-house or work alongside your chosen florist. Ask us about combining floral design with your planning package.

We plan for everything so you don't have to. Our team carries a professional emergency kit (safety pins, stain remover, pain relief, bandages and more) and arrives with detailed contingency plans for weather, vendor delays, and the unexpected. We've seen it all — and we handle it quietly so you never have to.

Vendors & Venues

After 17 years working in the Banff and Canmore wedding industry, we've cultivated deep relationships with the best photographers, videographers, florists, caterers, musicians, hair and makeup artists, and officiants in the region. Our preferred vendors are chosen for their talent, reliability, and shared commitment to excellence. We're always happy to share our recommendations.

Absolutely. You're welcome to work with vendors of your choosing, and we'll integrate them seamlessly into your day. We do ask that all vendors hold appropriate licensing and liability insurance, and are informed of venue and permit requirements. We'll handle all vendor communication once they're confirmed.

We have strong relationships with venues across the Bow Valley, including the Fairmont Banff Springs, The Banff Centre, Silvertip Resort, Banff Hospitality Collective (BHC), The Malcolm Hotel, various Parks Canada–approved outdoor locations, and intimate private properties. We're also experienced with non-traditional settings — alpine meadows, lakeshores, canyon viewpoints, and mountain summits.

We can do both. With a background running a full-service floristry studio in Banff, we offer in-house floral design as part of select packages. If you've already booked a florist, we'll work beautifully alongside them. Either way, the florals will be extraordinary.

Destination & Logistics

Yes, and we do it all the time. The majority of our couples are destination clients, many of them international. We're fluent in planning across time zones via video calls and detailed digital planning tools. When you arrive, your job is to enjoy every moment — not to manage logistics.

Yes. Any commercial event in a National Park — including weddings — requires a Commercial Use Licence and a filming/event permit from Parks Canada. Popular locations like Lake Louise, Johnston Canyon, and Moraine Lake have strict booking windows and capacity limits. We handle the entire permit process on your behalf, including scouting approved sites that will genuinely take your breath away.

Canmore is our home base and we know every corner of the Bow Valley, Kananaskis Country, and into Yoho and Jasper National Parks. We also work seasonally in Hawaii and Australia — enquire if you're planning a destination wedding in either location.

Every season is spectacular for different reasons. Peak summer (late June to early September) offers warm, long days and reliable outdoor conditions. Autumn brings the golden larch season in September and October — one of the most sought-after times to be married here. Winter delivers dramatic snowy backdrops and an intimate, exclusive atmosphere. Spring can be unpredictable but utterly magical. We'll guide you through every seasonal consideration for your chosen date.

It's one of our greatest loves. We offer two dedicated elopement packages — Run Away With Me and Just Say Yes — and we've guided hundreds of couples through intimate ceremonies in some of the most extraordinary locations on earth. Small doesn't mean simple. It means intentional.

Working With Us

Fill out the inquiry form on our website and we'll be in touch within 48 hours to schedule a discovery call. This is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation where we hear all about your vision, answer your questions, and explore how we can work together. We only take on a limited number of weddings each year, so we like to make sure it's the right fit on both sides.

That's actually our favourite starting point. Helping couples discover and articulate their vision is one of the most exciting parts of what we do. Bring your feelings, your references, your 'I don't knows' — we'll help you find the thread and pull it into something extraordinary.

You'll have direct continuity with us throughout your entire planning journey and on your wedding day. We don't hand you off to a junior coordinator at the finish line. The team who planned your wedding will be there to see it through.

Yes. In addition to our home base in Canmore, we work seasonally in Hawaii and Australia. International enquiries are always welcome — we love a well-travelled love story.

From couples we've had the honour to serve

❖

I communicated with Lorelle only through email as we are from Winnipeg. I told her what I pictured and it came out even more beautiful than I imagined.

Jennifer
❖

Working with Lorelle through the planning and design discussions was pleasant and easy. She made it important to understand what we wanted for the day using pictures and examples. Creativity aligned with our vision perfectly. Lorelle was on-site for set up and went above and beyond to make everything just perfect. My expectations were exceeded in every way.

Bill
❖

I had to deal long distance, so everything was over phone and email. From bouquet to boutonniere, I could not have been happier with the results and communication and service were both excellent.

Lyndel
❖

Living in another city required all of our communication to be electronic or via telephone. Lorelle made everything easy and took all our ideas and made it so much better than we could have asked for.

Sandra
❖

Thank you so much for taking care so I was not stressed on my wedding day.

Karissa Kitching
❖

These people are amazing! Flexibility was fantastic as we had a wedding date change. We had a couple of requests and left the rest to their judgement... WOW... just WOW... What a beautiful job!!! Very kind people and very, very good at what they do!

Lisa & Brad Christian

Very accommodating, and easy to plan the day given I was in Australia during the planning.
