If you received a plus one, your guest's name or “and guest” will appear on your invitation. Otherwise, we would love to keep our wedding as an intimate event with close friends and family only. Thank you for understanding!
While we love your little ones we do ask that both these events are adults only. Thanks for your understanding. If you want to bring your dog though...(kidding the venue doesn't allow dogs!). If you are bringing your furry friend many hotels are dog friendly!
We have room blocks at Les Suites, Lord Elgin Hotel, and The Metcalfe Hotel. Please use the booking codes listed in the Travel & Hotel tab when booking. Les Suites offers apartment style accommodations with full kitchens, separate rooms, and balconies, ideal for families or groups. Lord Elgin Hotel is a classic, historic hotel and a longtime favorite of visiting dignitaries, including Queen Elizabeth II. The Metcalfe Hotel is a modern, New York style hotel with a sleek, contemporary feel. There are many additional hotels near the venue. If staying at one of the three above, please use the booking code so we can track guest accommodations.
A: YES, U.S. and U.K. guests will need a valid passport. No visa is required for short visits.
We made the location downtown Ottawa so you can easily walk from the hotels provided or grab an Uber if those heels are too high!
We look forward to celebrating in formal attire. Women are invited to wear long, elegant gowns or elevated cocktail dresses, bright, summery hues are especially welcome. Men may wear a tuxedo or a suit with tie. Our wedding palette features soft sage and pastel tones. We kindly ask guests to avoid white and ivory.
Typically (keep in mind it is Canada so you never really know) mild and sunny—highs around 70–75°F (21–24°C). Evenings can get cool, so bring a light jacket or wrap. Everything will be held indoors on the wedding day to make things easy!
Both will be indoors. I don't trust the Canadian weather!!
Yes there is parking available at the venue; a 2-storey underground facility with 730 spaces. It features three entrances on Daly Avenue and Nicholas Street South, and three exits on Nicholas Street South
