What should I wear?
It would be lovely if you're in usual wedding wear, but also appreciate it will be cold, so please dress sensibly and don't get hypothermia for the aesthetic
How do I get to the wedding?
Please bag yourself a flight to Calgary, and either by car or Flixbus 2721 get yourself over to Banff. The wedding itself is going to be at lake minnewanka, which is accessible by bus (route 6) or by car. We will send you details the day before on where to park and the specific wedding location, as this is yet to be confirmed!
Can I bring a plus one?
To the wedding specifically - No, sorry! Banff national park has laws about the maximum group sizes allowed and we are already at capacity, however of course feel free to bring them to Canada and the activities in the days after the wedding
What shall I do the rest of the trip?
Banff is famous for its winter sports such as skiing, cross country skiing, snowboarding, ice skating on lakes, and tubing for the adventurous. Alternatively, there are some lovely coffee and doughnut shops, natural hot springs and spas in Banff
Where shall I stay?
There are many lovely places around Banff, ranging from hostels to the 5 star fairmont hotel - whatever floats your boat! There are also some fabulous places nearby in the Yoho and Jasper national parks, such as lake Louise and peyto lake. Please remember it will be winter, so the lakes won't be their Instagram-famous blue, and if you are intending to hike please look at the avalanche advice locally as not all the park is going to be open at this time of year
Will there be bears?
Maybe! They come out of hibernation at this time, please be aware of this. The likelihood is we won't come across them where it's busy, but if you are planning to go hiking at all bear spray is recommended
Should I bring a present?
We are incredibly grateful if you feel generous enough to have a gift for us, but feel free to save yours and our baggage allowance and bring it to our UK party - we will send you all the details of this when we have it, but that will be later!
