It is a very special job being a florist as we get the pleasure of taking part in the large moments of everyones life. From births, recitals, graduations, birthdays, first dates, weddings, anniversaries, holidays, retirements and funerals. No matter the reason we recognize the importance of what we do and strive to make it beautiful and stress free.
Meet the Team
Christine and Ian Kaufmann - Owners
Christine and Ian opened in Banff Mountaintop Flowers in 2018 and are dedicated to making your floral wishes come true. Both are born and raised in Banff and know the ins and outs of the town. No matter your question, chances are they can help you! Christine has worked as a florist here in Banff since 2010 and has learned a great deal about the business and the industry. She is also a realist painter and has an eye for details, her artistic knowledge and flair can be felt throughout the shop and in each bouquet and arrangement! Not to mention all of our note cards provided with the flowers are of paintings she created. Ian has been working in the shop since 2017 and loves to create with colour. A photographer and music lover he has a true eye for composition, shape and colour. Together with their sons and their dog Finn, if they are not busy in the shop, then they are out and about in this amazing mountain town.
Jenni - Jenni has joined us all the way from Germany and is now putting down her roots here in our beautiful mountain town. She has been working in the flower world since 2018 and has found a great passion with creating with flowers. Jenni loves designing wild, earthy designs and is always up for a challenge, the bigger the better! Before finding flowers, Jenni was working in museums and is no stranger to all art forms, she quickly realized that she’d rather be a creator of it and we’re lucky to have her artist eye in our shop! Jenni is a beautiful spirit with a hearty, joyful laugh you can’t help but join in on. She’s the first to jump to help anyone and offer her assistance in anyway she can and will go out of her way to make sure it’s done right. We don’t know how we’d do any of what we do without her!
Sarah - Sarah is originally from England and has been working with us since 2025. In England Sarah was working in healthcare, but after the pandemic she just didn’t find the same joy out of it, pretty soon the travel bug bit and she packed up and moved to Canada looking for adventure. While here she found love and is putting her roots down in Banff, and we are so lucky she joined us! She was new to the world of flowers but was a total natural, Sarah loves to create garden inspired, eclectic designs. We love having her eager energy in the shop, she is always ready to help out in any way she can, she is amazingly kind and her warm smile and easy laugh make the day all the brighter!
