Calling Canadian experts

Hi ladies, any experts out there on Canada?

We were gonna marry in Greece but due to the paperwork and certain Greek rules we are now looking at Canada.

We are looking at flying to Vancouver, hiring a car and heading to Lake Louise and then Banff and then we have around 7 days to travel around.

Not sure how many days we need in each resort and what is worth seeing, definitley want to go whale watching and go on a train trip thru the rockies.

Virgin are putting an itinerary together but have us going to Calgary to pick up the car which seems a waste of some of our precious time and seem intent on us staying in Vancouver as a base but we want a bit of improvisation and maybe book some accommodation as we go along.

I know some ladies live out there as I have searched the threads but cannot find out how to contact direct.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Nanoushka,

My partner and I got engaged in Canada last year whilst doing a roadtrip through the Rockies.

We spent about 9 days I think doing our trip, below is our rough itinerary :

Vancouver - pick up car

Barriere - We wanted to get as close to the Rockies as possible, this was a LONG drive after the flight though!

Athabasca Glacier - Glacier View Inn, worth a trip up onto the Glacier in one of their big buses!

Moraine Lake - Just up from Lake Louise. We stayed in one of the lodges on the edge of the lake and this is where my partner proposed! Its a beautiful place!

We stopped at Banff on the way through to Calgary and went up Sulphur Mountain and looked through the shops etc..

Calgary/Edmonton

Golden - stop over before heading back to Vancouver

Along the Trans-Canada Hwy there are loads of viewpoints and lakes to stop and see!

What month are you getting married?

I hope this helps, please let me know if you want anymore information (about Vancouver - I've been 6 times!) or have any questions!

Good luck!

xx

Thanks! We have changed the itinerary slightly and will now be flying to Calgary staying 1 night to recover, then heading to Banff for maybe 4 nights, maybe a lodge if we can find one in budget, driving up to Jasper and stoping along the way to go on the glacier, stop at lake Louise, Moraine, Emerald Lake, The falls and maybe a bit of light walking along the trails then 3 nights in Jasper. Probably stay 1 night somewhere else then end up in Vancouver for 4 nights.

We are looking at September around 17th. Some itineraries seems to stop only 1 night in a place but I don't fancy unpacking every time so 3/4 nights each time would be preferable.

It all looks wonderful so we can't decide where to get married either, outside or inside, lake or waterfall, decisions, decisions...
