We would, however, love to see the little ones at our ceremony as well as other events during our wedding weekend. The top babysitting services recommended by our venue are: - My Hotel Sitter (403)-762-3661 - myhotelsitter.com - ChildCare Connection, Banff (403)-760-4443 - ChildCareBanff.com We would be happy to discuss more childcare options during the reception with you so everyone can enjoy the night together.

The weather in Banff can be unpredictable and can change very quickly so we will be keeping a close eye on the forecast, in case we need to prepare for inclement weather.
