Getting married in the Canadian Rockies doesn’t have to come with a huge price tag. While a traditional wedding in Banff or Canmore can easily run into the tens of thousands of dollars, Shotgun Wedding has spent over 16 years proving that a mountain ceremony can be both breathtaking and genuinely affordable. We’re proud to offer the most cost-effective elopement and small wedding packages in Banff, Canmore, and at Moraine Lake — without cutting corners on your photography, your experience, or those incredible views.

Whether you’re dreaming of saying “I do” lakeside at Moraine Lake, against the peaks at Tunnel Mountain, or tucked among the evergreens at Quarry Lake in Canmore, we bring the officiant, the photographer, and the local know-how — you just have to show up. Browse the locations below to compare pricing, guest capacity, and what’s included, and find the mountain backdrop (and budget) that’s right for your day.
