Common Questions
How does the Adventure Registry work?
Guests book tours and activities with participating local companies using your custom URL, and a portion of each booking is gifted to you as a couple.
Do our guests pay extra for their activities?
No, guests pay the same price they would normally. The contribution to you comes from our participating partners.
How much will we receive from each booking?
Each activity partner contributes 15% of each booking to your adventure registry.
Can we see which guests have booked tours?
We respect guest privacy, so while we track total contributions, we don’t share personal booking details unless a guest lets you know themselves.
How do we create our Adventure Registry?
Simply fill out a quick form on our website, and you'll receive a custom link to share with guests.
Is there a deadline for setting up our registry?
We recommend setting it up at least a few months before your wedding to give guests time to book their activities, but there is no deadline. Guests can book an activity any time before or after your event and you will still receive our contribution.
When and how will we receive our contribution?
Contributions are calculated in the month following the month in which the activity took place. For example, if your guest books a tour in April, you will receive a contribution for that booking in May. Contributions are payed via etransfer to the email address you provide in the registration form.
Is there a fee for using the Adventure Registry?
No, there are no fees for you or your guests. The contribution comes from our partner businesses as a thank you for referring your guests.
Is this considered a cash gift? Will we need to declare it for taxes?
We recommend speaking with a tax professional to discuss the best approach for your situation.
How will our guests know about our registry?
You’ll receive a custom link to share on your wedding website, invitations, or in your welcome emails. Post it on your socials and ask your guests to do the same. Referral contributions are not limited to your wedding guests.
What if our guests prefer giving traditional gifts?
That’s totally fine! The Adventure Registry is an optional way for them to enhance their trip while contributing to your wedding. There is no obligation to participate.
What if our guests don’t book any tours?
There’s no pressure. You’ll only receive contributions if guests book, but either way, they’ll know about the amazing adventures available in Canmore. And your link doesn't expire, so if they book any time in the future you'll still receive a contribution.
What if our guests have questions or issues when booking?
Our adventure partners are available to assist your guests with any questions or booking support. Details about he experiences are avialable through their websites.
Can we set up a registry if we’re having a small wedding?
Yes! Whether you’re hosting 10 guests or 100, every booking counts—and smaller groups often book more personalized experiences.
Can we use this for other group gatherings like stag/stagettes or family reunions?
Absolutely. The fund can work for any gathering—just let us know how we can support your group.
Can we use the funds toward a honeymoon or other experiences?
Yes! The contribution is cash so you can use it however you wish.
What if we need to cancel or change our wedding date?
Not a problem. Your registry URL will still be valid and you can continue to receive contributions for our partners.
Can we still set this up if our wedding is not in Canmore?
Yes! If your guests are traveling through the area (e.g., Banff, Kananaskis), they can still book tours and contribute to your registry.
