Elopements are all about freedom, intimacy, and authenticity, so it’s no surprise that more and more couples are skipping the traditional weekend wedding and opting to elope in Banff on a weekday instead.

In highly popular areas like Banff National Parks, choosing this route is another good way of ensuring you’re able to check everything off your bucket list.
Photographers, officiants, and planners often have more availability on weekdays, which means it’s easier to schedule your favourites. Some places might even have weekday discounts or perks for you to partake in!
Choosing a weekday can also save you money on accommodations! The extra savings could go toward photography, decor, or a wild experience that elevates your day instead.
A weekday elopement allows couples to set their own pace by avoiding all of the weekend crowd pressure and giving them more room to soak up those special moments throughout the day. It can give you time to do extra activities like hiking or canoeing if you wouldn’t normally have the ability to during a busy weekend. The day feels more intimate, private, and tailored to you and your love story.
If the weather changes or you decide to make last-minute detours in your itinerary, weekdays provide flexibility in order for you to do so without adding any extra worry.
Considering Banff’s rise in popularity over the past few years, the opportunity to do these activities has gotten harder but not impossible! Knowing what times are slowest can help optimize your time in this gorgeous area.

By stepping off the weekend wedding track, you can get the freedom to design a day that’s entirely about your love story.
If you want an elopement where the focus is fully on your connection and not the crowd, a weekday adventure might be your perfect choice.
