Angela was fabulous, and if I could give more than 5 stars for quality of service, then I would. Starting with when I first called her, she was easily accessible, and I never felt like I was playing phone tag.
She pulled off a wedding more beautiful than I imagined in a place I had never visited, with just my deions of my destination wedding dreams to go on, and within budget. My fiance (now husband) was also impressed by how she thought of so many things to address that we had never thought about, but were obviously quite important.
She put our minds at ease, so that we could enjoy the weekend, rather than stressing over it. Guests remarked on our calmness prior to the ceremony, and we owed it to her, as well as the other fantastic vendors that she recommended.
For someone so young, she came across with experience and confidence, as well as a true joy for what she is doing. My father started having an asthma attack with the flowers in his boutonniere (who knew he’d have trouble with freesias), so she even improvised one in under 20 minutes! She even took our flower arrangements to local hospitals to “recycle” them. I’ve heard so many brides lament about how they did not enjoy their wedding as much as they had hoped, because they were stressed; I am lucky to say that with Angela’s help, I had the best time I could have imagined, even despite the rain that forced my dream outside ceremony at Lake Louise indoors (which was about the only thing that Angela did not have under control)! I recommend her for anyone thinking about having a wedding (or any event for that matter) in the Canadian Rockies.

Fergus Alexander Langer-McIntosh is the first baby to be born in Banff following the long-awaited reopening of the labour and delivery ward at Mineral Springs Hospital, Monday (Aug. 10).
Weighing seven pounds, six ounces, the baby boy was born to proud parents Naomi and Jeff Langer-McIntosh at 2:40 a.m. Tuesday
(Aug 11).
“He’s the first official baby after the re-opening. I am thrilled. I am just so thrilled, said Naomi from her hospital bed Tuesday afternoon.
“It’s like a dream come true. It’s the happy ending we were all wanting. We’re really, really happy.”
Mineral Springs Hospital suspended its obstetrics program on March 6, citing a nursing shortage and the need for safe mother and baby care.
Arrangements were made for Canmore General Hospital and, if necessary, Calgary hospitals to provide women with labour, delivery and post-partum care.
The 34-year-old Naomi was one of many local residents angered and frustrated by the move to suspend the obstetric services.
Along with many others, she helped organize peaceful walks and a Facebook page to try to convince the hospital to resume labour and delivery as soon as possible.
Naomi’s due date was July 29 and she initially thought she would be forced to give birth in Canmore, 25 kilometres away from her hometown.
“I didn’t think it was going to happen in Banff,” she said.
“When we were into the first week of August, we thought ‘maybe’; then the second week came and we thought, ‘hang on, hang on’, and by Sunday night, ‘let’s go’.”
Naomi did most of her labouring in the comfort of her own home, but was admitted to the hospital shortly before midnight on Aug. 10 –reopening day.
“It’s just been fabulous,” she said. “The care has been fantastic and the nurses have been phenomenal and just so helpful.”
Dr. Jane Fowke, who was Naomi’s delivery doctor and is one of two physicians who deliver in Banff, said she is absolutely delighted the hospital has resumed obstetrics.
“I think there’s an overall good feeling in the community and I really want to thank the community for all their support in making sure we continue obstetrics here,” she said.
“I also want to thank the management of Mineral Springs Hospital for all their hard work, and thank all staff at Canmore Hospital.”
Hospital officials say they are pleased to resume the service, having been successful in recruiting and training new staff in obstetrical care.
“We’re pleased and ready and waiting for the moms to come here,” said Jane Cusden, the hospital’s acting executive director.
“We’ve worked hard to get the recruitment in place and we have some really good experienced nurses with obstetrics experience.”
The hospital successfully recruited nine new staff members and welcomed back two others from maternity leave.
On average, between 100 and 124 babies have been delivered at Mineral Springs Hospital each year for the past five years.
There were 128 babies born in the 2007-2008 calendar year. In neighbouring Canmore, there were approximately 300 births.

I am Angela Schrempf, Founder of Sweet Occasions Bridal Consulting. I am in the business of love, uniting two souls perfect for one another. I love what I do more than anything and this is because each day I have the honour to work with couples that are truly in love. This love makes your heart jump, tears wallow in your eyes and your heart sing! After the Champagne has been finished and the candles are all out, not only do I want my each of my brides and grooms to have enjoyed their big day, but I want them to continue to be in love for many years to come!
Love is amazing! But you have to take care of it, nurture it each day and grow with it as you grow as a couple. There is much to learn about love in the years following your big day and I have an amazing resource that I would be happy to share to help ensure that those years are spent happily together. This resource is close to my heart, their names are Audrey & Harold Denny and they are my grandparents. Married on July 10th 1943 Audrey & Harold have survived 66 years of marriage and counting. Their story is a tale of romance, passion and years of successful love & marriage. In their love lies the secret everyone is searching for: the secret of a successful marriage.
Enjoy the lessons that Audrey & Harold have to share.
Great Wedding Planning Tool!
