Allegra & Ryan

Today, we’re honoured to feature Allegra and Ryan’s beautiful wedding at the iconic Chateau Lake Louise. As was the case for many weddings impacted by the pandemic, Allegra and Ryan’s wedding fell victim to several pandemic-related reschedulings and difficult circumstances that we navigated together. While the situation was unexpected, adapting and coordinating is what we do best. Even in these difficult circumstances, we’re so grateful that we were able to work alongside Allegra and Ryan to bring their big day to life, and it was absolutely worth the wait.

There couldn’t have been a more perfect setting or a more ideal September day for the event. It was sunny, clear, and somehow even more magical than usual–which is saying a lot because this place is an absolute dreamscape. Allegra’s hair and makeup were done by the talented team at Blush & Coco. She looked elegant and ethereal in every way. The couple shared a private first look before the ceremony, which took place in front of Lake Louise. With decor from Mountain Event Rentals and flowers by Willow Flower Co., the ceremony was just as gorgeous as the surrounding landscapes. The bride and groom took photos with the phenomenal Darren Roberts in locations that travellers and adventurers come from around the world to experience for themselves. Not only did Allegra & Ryan experience these places together, but they also got to do it on their wedding day and capture the moments eternally.

Next was an uplifting cocktail hour before the guests made their way to their seats. The spacious and grand ballroom was decorated elegantly with soft and simple touches to elevate the existing beauty of the space. Soon, the newlyweds made their grand entrance to the tune of Father John Misty. The reception was fun and sentimental, with the energy of the day’s events radiating through each guest. It was a truly unforgettable wedding, and we’re honoured to have played a part in bringing it to life. Thank you, and congratulations, Allegra and Ryan!

Message From The Couple

If you want to have an amazing wedding, a relatively stress-free wedding, a wedding full of backups and contingencies, a wedding where everything runs smoothly on the day - hire Ashley. We were originally thinking of not going with a wedding planner, but we decided to sit down with her to get an idea of what she did. She earned our trust immediately, and we are really glad we decided to work with her.

Ashley knows what's best around the mountains. Vendors, venues, dates, times, weather, etc. She has a lot of experience to share to set you up for success on the big day. She also handles just about everything, she bears the brunt of the negotiations, stress, management, and communication. I think the thing I liked most about Ashley is that she was on our side the whole time. She isn't working to make vendors or venues happy, she is working to make YOU happy. She is honest and she has your back.

Because of the pandemic, Ashley essentially had to plan our wedding THREE TIMES! Not once did she complain, give up, or ask for more compensation. That should tell you a lot about the kind of person she is.

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. We could not recommend Ashley enough.
