Christianne Ullmark
Christianne, or Chris as she’s better known, brings years of creative experience and the precision and care that comes with being a formally trained professional dancer to each elopement. Having travelled the world in various productions, Chris’ love for people and the Rockies have brought her back home to the Banff and Canmore Region. Chris is thrilled to have worked closely with Malcolm and Sharon over the past few years and is thrilled to help you plan your dream day.
Christianne loves to travel, ski, hike and explore outdoors in her spare time and brings couples a burst of energy and delightful organization in the planning process. Chris is passionate about putting each detail into place and will assist you in choosing the perfect spot for the ceremony and portraits, assist the bride in getting ready on your wedding day, and will be with you for the duration of the photographs to make sure that your special day will be a moment to cherish forever.
Sharon Carmichael
Sharon brings over 20 years of wedding planning experience to the table and is thrilled to have been a Banff local for nearly 30 years. Together with her husband Malcolm, Sharon is passionate about helping couples plan the perfect celebration of their big day. Sharon is honoured to share in your special moment and to help ensure your elopement truly showcases your love story.
With over 20 years of experience in the wedding industry, Sharon is still as passionate as ever about small wedding celebrations.
When she’s not planning weddings throughout Banff National Park, Sharon can be found skiing, swimming, scuba diving, or reading a new book from the comfort of the historic log home she shares with her husband and three daughters. Sharon relocated to Banff from Cheshire, United Kingdom, to join her Canadian partner Malcolm and settle in the Rockies. After decades of calling Banff home, she’s more thrilled than ever to share her love of the mountains with couples tying the knot!
