FAQs
Do you travel outside Canmore?
Yes. Based in Canmore, I travel throughout the region from Kananaskis to Lake Louise, up the Icefields Parkway to Cline River for heli-weddings. Travel charges apply depending on distance and location.
Can you perform ceremonies in remote locations or require hiking?
Absolutely. I enjoy nature and secluded locations. Whether it's a hike to a mountain top, park, yard, restaurant, home, garden, or lakeside, I'm flexible and accommodate where you want to get married.
What if I want a personalized ceremony?
Your ceremony is unique to you. I customize the service to reflect your relationship and vision. Civil ceremonies can incorporate elements like French or contributions from friends and family, and same-sex marriages are performed.
