Thank you so much for making the trek to join us for this big day! Below is the itinerary that Adam and I will be following. You are welcome to join for any or all, but are certainly not required. This should be just as much a vacation for you! The only things we request your attendance at are the Bridgette Bar dinner on Aug 20th and the Wedding Day events on Aug 21st. Love you!

Whitewater Rafting
Monday, August 18, 2025
9:15 AM–1:00 PM
Whitewater rafting on the Kicking Horse river. Class 1-3 rapids, which means you'll be getting drenched at some point! But good for first timers as well. Ages 8+

6:00 PM–8:00 PM
Attire: Semi-Formal/Casual
The parents are hosting this one, so leave your wallets at home. Thank you! Reservation is at 6:00pm sharp, so coral all those kiddos and make sure their bellies are hungry!
Wedding Day Festivities
August 21, 2025
1:00 PM–10:00 PM
Attire: Semi-Formal
Please be ready to leave from the Malcolm Hotel at 1:00p. We have a shuttle taking most everyone to Banff at that time. The shuttle plans on returning everyone at 10:00p but can take folks back earlier if desired.
1:30 PM–2:45 PM
Pregame Cocktails - The Sidecar at Fairmont Springs Hotel
We have rented a private cocktail room at the Fairmont Springs Hotel from 1:30-5:30p. At 2pm, chicken baos and pulled pork sliders will be served. At 4pm, a seafood platter will arrive. So feel free to show up a bit hungry! And cocktails. Of course there will be cocktails! Duh.
Again, a big thanks to the parents for your generosity!!
3:00 PM–3:30 PM
Wedding Ceremony at Bow River
Pray for dry weather, but plan B is to be indoors, so no worries about bringing an umbrella. And if Adam has to force people to leave the one spot I picked out to have the ceremony at, then a big thank you to my tough, outspoken fiancé!
3:45 PM–5:30 PM
Cocktail Reception - The Sidecar Room at Fairmont Springs
More cocktails, and that fancy schmancy seafood platter mentioned earlier!
6:00 PM–10:00 PM
Dinner Reception - Park Distillery
Cocktails, Prime Rib and Smore's, Oh My!
As well as a ton of other food... Arrive hungry please!
We have a private area reserved for the evening, so get as weird as you'd like. The private shuttle will be available to take us back to Canmore at 10pm (night night, kiddos), but anyone looking to go home early, or stay out later, can absolutely do so. The shuttle is at your service.
Thank you, parents, for being uber generous and loving!
Relaxed Afternoon in and around Canmore
Friday, August 22, 2025
10:00 AM–5:00 PM
Easy breezy day post nuptials. Probably sneak in a little hike around town and some lunchy lunch somewhere, but no set plans, so create your own!
Dinner at Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co
Friday, August 22, 2025
6:00 PM–8:00 PM
Attire: Casual
No reservations! No pressure, but we'll be grabbing wood fired pizzas al fresco at Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co around 6pm. Depending on the group size, this may be a 4 hour dinner, but probably worth it...?
Morraine Lake & Lake Louise Hiking
Saturday, August 23, 2025
12:15 PM–5:30 PM
Shuttle service needed to go to both lakes. Adam, Gina and their girls are heading to Moraine Lake at 12:15pm and then over to Lake Louise at 3:30p. Heading home at 5:30p. We reserved our shuttle tickets through Fairview Limo. They were the cheapest (outside of the Parks Canada Shuttle).
Feel free to join, but if you plan on eating at the Fairmont Chateau, know that they only accept non hotel patrons at their Louiza restaurant for lunch (12-4p).
That's All, Folks! Thank you!
