[ TESTIMONIALS ]

"We are beyond grateful for Erik and Ann of Tanan Banff Elopements. From the first message to the very end of our elopement, they were so kind, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive. They made us feel completely comfortable and at ease, and we could tell they truly cared about making our day perfect. They played such an important role in making our ceremony feel so special and effortless. We honestly don’t know how we would have pulled it off without them.
The photos, we are completely in love with them. We couldn’t believe how quickly we got them back (just two weeks!) and the quality is beyond what we imagined. They captured not just the beauty of the day, but the real emotions and little moments that made it ours.

Choosing them for our elopement was hands down one of the best decisions we made. If you’re considering booking them, don’t hesitate! You won’t regret it. Thank you so much Erik & Ann for everything, from the bottom of our hearts. You made our day truly unforgettable."
