Wedding planning is a special and exciting time for any engaged couple, but it can also become very overwhelming. Making decisions about floral arrangements, guest lists, seating charts, music, and all the other elements that go into a traditional wedding can be daunting and expensive, so why not keep it simple?
At Elope in Banff, small wedding packages like our Elopements and Micro Weddings are designed to remove the stress of wedding planning while still maintaining romance. Smaller, more manageable weddings allow you to share your big day with your closest loved ones while reducing the load. Keep reading to learn more about what we offer for small ceremonies and why you can trust our expert team to execute your dream wedding!
Simple Ceremony, Big Savings, Fond Memories
A wedding is one of the most special occasions in a couple’s life together, and it’s a beautiful time to share with loved ones—but it can also be very expensive and time-consuming.
In 2026, the average cost of a traditional wedding is approximately $30,000 to $42,000 CAD. While that cost can be worthwhile for some, many couples would rather put that money towards their savings or other life expenses. Not to mention that large weddings require a big time spend to plan properly, sometimes taking several months to complete.
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to go into debt or start planning a year in advance to have the wedding of your dreams. A small, more intimate event with your closest friends and family can be just as special as a 200+ guest wedding, especially in a beautiful natural setting like Banff!
Our Small Wedding Packages from Elope in Banff
Our Canmore and Banff small wedding packages are available for both elopements and micro-weddings, featuring luxurious indoor and breathtaking outdoor venues. But you may wonder: “What’s the difference between an elopement and a microwedding?” Below, we’ll discuss the varied features of each package type to help you choose the right one for your special day!
Elopements
Our elopement packages are designed for a simple ceremony that can accommodate up to 10 guests (though many of our couples like to fly solo!)
These packages start as low as $5,995, and cover essential wedding day expenses such as vendors, a photographer, an officiant, site rental fees, and more.
Our elopement packages do not include decorations for the ceremony and are conducted at each venue as-is. However, our curated locations are so beautiful that you won’t miss the decor!
You can choose from one of our many locations in Banff and Canmore, including:
- The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel
- The Silvertop Golf Course
- The Malcom Hotel
- Heli-Mountain Top
- Multiple outdoor locations, including Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, Cascade Ponds, Norquay Lookout, Tunnel Mountain Reservoir Meadow, and more.
Micro Weddings
If you want a ceremony that resembles a more traditional wedding, our Micro Wedding packages are a great way to still enjoy time with family and friends while keeping things simple!
In addition to the standard offerings from our elopement packages, our microweddings are designed to accommodate around 15-24 guests, depending on the venue you select.
Some of our packages have variations. Our Silvertip Resort Package, for example, includes
- Ceremony and reception decor
- Chairs and signing table for the ceremony (depends on package)
- Reception rental fee
A micro wedding is a great compromise between eloping and a traditional, big family wedding. With a smaller guest list, you can spend more one-on-one time with each person and make more lasting memories!
Whether you decide to elope or have a small guest list at your wedding, our team at Elope in Banff is ready to help you plan the perfect day!
