FAQs

The Wedding Website of Catherine Vandewalle and George Ochieng
Question

1. Where is the wedding taking place?

Answer

The entire event (Ceremony, Cocktail Hour and Reception) will take place at Paradise Gardens, Kiambu Rd, Nairobi, Kenya. https://paradisegardens.co.ke/

Question

2. What is the dress code? What should I wear?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is smart casual. Wear something you’re comfortable in, and something you can dance in! For example, long flowy dresses, button-up shirts, nice slacks, kitenge, your traditional tribal African wear, or whatever brings you joy. Please no jeans. Since our ceremony will take place outside, we recommend bringing sun protection, and maybe a light sweater for the evening.

Question

3. Will the wedding be outdoors? And what weather should I expect?

Answer

The wedding is taking place outdoors. We are hoping for lovely, sunny and warm weather, with a slightly cooler evening. However, we can't guarantee anything. Should it rain, there is a large tent, which will keep us all dry.

Question

4. What should I expect after the ceremony?

Answer

After the short ceremony, the immediate family of the couple will be taking pictures near the pond for around an hour. Guests will head to the bar area (about a 30second walk), where snacks and drinks will be flowing. Dinner will be served around 6 pm, with dancing to follow.

Question

5. Will transportation be provided? Is there easy parking at the venue?

Answer

Yes, transportation will be available for those who need. Please contact George if you require transport. More details to come... There is ample free parking for those who feel comfortable driving, and Bolt or Little Cab are great options for those who don’t. Please stay safe and default to a ride service or carpooling if you plan to drink.

Question

6. Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Simple answer: YES!

Question

7. Are you registered? Can we give gifts?

Answer

No, we are not registered for gifts. Your love, laughter, and company on our wedding day is the greatest gift of all. In lieu of a gift, the Bride and Groom kindly ask that you instead consider a donation to one of these incredible organizations in Kenya: https://thorntreeproject.org/donate https://murua-girls.org/donate/
