There are few places on the planet that hold the stunning allure and captivating beauty of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Nestled amongst these soaring, scenic peaks, the picturesque townsites of Banff, Canmore, and Lake Louise draw couples from across the country and around the world to celebrate their big day against the rugged backdrop of the Rockies. 

That said, we know that planning even a local wedding can be stressful enough. That being said, we would never back down from trying to coordinate catering, cake deliveries, and calla lily arrangements from half a world away! 

Don’t worry, though – we’ve got you covered. That’s where our team at Rocky Mountain Weddings & Events comes in.

Owned and operated by Lindsay Copeland, Rocky Mountain Weddings & Events is the longest-established wedding planning business in Banff. Accompanied by the lead planner and partner-in-crime Kristin Nicol, we seek to provide couples with a singularly modern wedding experience. Marrying the sophistication of upscale event planning with the rugged beauty and natural wonder of the Rocky Mountains.

Banff, the Bow Valley – and Beyond

The Canadians Rockies are nearly synonymous with Banff in the minds of most folks, but there’s so much more out here to explore and discover beyond our world-famous mountain town. Head just 19 minutes east of Banff and you’ll encounter the rustic town of Canmore – a beautiful Bow Valley locale watched over by the soaring peaks of the Three Sisters and offering an unparalleled Rocky Mountain experience. 

Keep driving past Canmore and you’ll find yourself in Kananaskis Country: a vast mountain playground spanning thousands of square kilometers of rugged vistas, rocky peaks, and rustic splendor. There are few tourist attractions and even fewer crowds to be found in K-Country – just untouched wilderness and natural beauty that goes on for literally as far as the eye can see. 

Commit to your eastward journey and you’ll encounter Cochrane – Alberta’s very own home-on-the-range featuring western trappings, ranches abound, and an authentic foothills aesthetic, all situated against the majestic backdrop of the nearby Rocky Mountain range. 

Leave Banff headed out in the other direction and it won’t be long before you discover Lake Louise – home to the iconic Chateau Lake Louise, the stunning turquoise-green waters of Lake Louise itself, and some of the best skiing and snowboarding this side of the Rockies. 

Drive further west and you’ll make your way out of the Bow Valley and across the provincial border into British Columbia where you’ll encounter Emerald Lake, Golden, and Revelstoke to name just a few of the beautiful BC towns along the way – or, head north, and you’ll sooner or later hit Jasper, the biggest national park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. 

Stunning vistas await around every bend here in the Bow Valley – and Rocky Mountain Weddings & Events can’t wait to help you discover each and every one of them.
