A Banff wedding is a dream come true - majestic mountains, pristine wilderness, and unforgettable beauty. But the remote location means transportation planning is crucial. This guide covers everything you need to ensure seamless travel for you and your guests.
Why Banff Weddings Need Special Planning
Remote Location
Banff is 130 km from Calgary Airport. Most guests fly in and need reliable transportation to the mountains.
Limited Parking
Many venues have restricted parking. Guest shuttles solve this problem elegantly.
Mountain Roads
Some venues require navigating mountain roads. Professional drivers know these routes well.
Safety First
