FAQs

Question

When should we arrive to the venue?

Answer

Please arrive to the venue prior to 4pm. We will start the ceremony at that time and anyone who arrives after will not be seated and will need to observe from a different location.

Question

Is there transportation to the venue?

Answer

We will not be providing private transportation to the venue. There is a local shuttle that has multiple stops in town and takes you directly to the hotel. The website with locations and times can be found here: https://roamtransit.com/. If staying at a hotel in Banff, many offer free passes so make sure to ask your front desk. One way rides are $2 CAD and can be purchased on the Token Transit App or at pay stations in town. Banff does not have Lyft or Uber but they do have local taxis. You may pre-reserve transportation with the taxi company (Banfftransportation.com) or call when required (1 403 762 0000). There are various other private car companies as well if you are staying out of reach of the public transportation areas.

Question

Is parking available at the venue?

Answer

Yes, parking is available at the Fairmont for $35 CAD/day (self-park) and $49 CAD/day (valet).

Question

Are children invited to the wedding?

Answer

Unfortunately, due to the capacity of our location the little ones are not invited to the ceremony or reception if they were not included in your invitation or if we reached out personally.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

For the ceremony and reception we suggest cocktail attire or semi-formal. Please avoid jeans, white, and flannel at these events. The weather at the end of May could have a bite so make sure to bring a jacket or shawl for the ceremony since it will be outdoors on the terrace. For the welcome party, come as you are! We understand people will be bopping around town to enjoy Banff to the fullest.
