We recommend renting a car for this trip!
Calgary to Canmore is about an hour drive, you can also reach out to Sarah if you are interested in carpooling and she will connect you with other guests that are interesting in carpooling!
Another option is to take the Banff Airporter, this bus will take you from the Airport in Calgary to Downtown Canmore, it costs about $150 round trip.
Where Should I Stay?
Canmore can be an expensive stay! We recommend booking sooner rather than later. We do have some discount codes for nearby hotels on the "Where to Stay" section.
Can I Bring My Kids?
No, as much as we love kids we have chosen to have a child free Ceremony and Reception! Please ensure you have secured child care prior to the wedding date.
How Do I Get From The Ceremony to the Reception?
We recommend carpooling with other guests as parking is limited at the ceremony space!
See map for Ceremony location.
How do I get from the Reception to my Hotel?
We recommend booking one of the hotels we suggested on the "where to stay" or finding an airbnb close to the reception because Canmore does not have Uber or Lyft services and has limited taxis - walking back to your hotel or being prepared to wait for a taxi is the best option.
Can I Bring a Plus One?
We are honoured to have you at our wedding! We have a small wedding of only 50 people, a plus one will not be given to anyone.
What Should I Bring as a Gift?
We are thrilled to have you at our wedding! We'd ask that you consider a monetary gift to go towards our honeymoon or you may bring a gift you feel is appropriate.
What Should I Wear?
We ask that our guests dress in formal wear!
We recommend fall colours but as long as you do not wear white or light colours we are sure you will look amazing!
If you arrive in white will be asked to leave or change your outfit.
This includes white dress/suit with floral print or an off white dress/suit.
What Should I do Between the Ceremony and Reception?
We recommend having a cocktail at Wildlife Distillery or Where the Buffalo Roam!
My Invite Says After Dark, What Does That Mean?
After Dark on your invite means that we would love for you to join us after dinner for dancing and drinks! You are welcome to come at 8pm!
What is the Weather Like?
The weather in the mountains in September can be very unpredictable! We could see a warm fall day or we could have a cooler day or even snow! Please keep an eye on the weather as we get closer to the date, the weather for Calgary is different than the weather in Canmore so make sure to check Canmore weather!
Plan for the weather as the ceremony is outdoors, with no indoor space.
Our reception is at an indoor location.
Should I bring cash for the bar?
Yes!
We are having a cash bar so if you'd like to order drinks make sure to bring change/small bills.
Can I take photos at the ceremony?
We ask that you do not take personal photos (phone or camera) during the ceremony as we are having an "unplugged" ceremony and would like to enjoy the moment with you fully present!
Before and After the ceremony we encourage you to take as many photos as you'd like!
We will be sure to share all the photos of the ceremony from our photographer!
