Hello beloved guests

We’re so excited to celebrate our special day with you! As it approaches quickly, here are some guidelines for the weekend:

‍Getting from Calgary International Airport to Banff/Canmore

  • Rent a car (highly recommend if you’re staying longer than the weekend)
  • Take a shuttle via Banff Airporter ($110 USD round trip) for direct to hotel. We’ve taken this and it’s reliable, just expensive
  • You can also take a FlixBus for  way cheaper ($25 USD round trip). We’ve never used the FlixBus here but had a good experience in other places
  • We’ll put all guests in a WhatsApp groupchat to coordinate carpools in case that happens to work out

‍Friday, August 28th: Welcome drinks at Park Distillery Banff

  • Dress code: dressy casual. Don’t forget a light jacket! It gets cooler at night in Banff.

Misc

  • If you’re driving a rental into Banff, you will need to purchase a parking pass. You can do it ahead of time or at the gate (we always do it at the gate). If you’re staying at an AirBnB in Canmore usually they have a parking pass you can use.
  • Please go outside as much as you can while you’re here! It is so beautiful and it’s our wish that you explore the park to its fullest extent!
