Our wedding ceremony will begin at 4:30 p.m. Feel free to arrive at the site anytime between 3 pm and 4 pm. For those spending the night at Whispering Springs, you will be able to check into your tent at 3 pm and get settled before the ceremony.
Not officially! We want everyone to feel comfortable, so wear whatever makes you feel best. That said, we’d love for folks to dress up a little (e.g., skip the jeans and flip flops). We know you'll look great!
Yes! Children will be included on your invitation, and we are very happy to welcome them to celebrate with us.
Our wedding ceremony and reception will be outdoors. The reception will be under a covered pavilion :)
Yes, there will be ample parking space available for all of our guests.
We know it's not ideal for non-drivers to get out to the woods. There is a decent transit option, though - you can take the train (Via Rail) to Coburg Ontario, which is a nearby town. From there, it's about a 25-minute Taxi/Uber ride to the venue.
The most important thing is you! We'll have the food and drinks covered. You can bring the fun :) For anyone staying overnight, you can think about bringing your toiletries, a warm layer in case it gets cold at night (the tents aren't heated), a cot if you have a small kiddo (there are daybeds available in some accommodations for adults or bigger kiddos), and pjs! The tents have varying levels of amenities. Whispering Springs has a helpful FAQ for anyone booking glamping accommodations. We've dropped a link to their page in the Helpful Links section.
Unfortunately not - Whispering Springs is zoned and operated as a resort, not a campground. According to the local bylaws, we are not allowed to have guests pitch and stay in their own tents on the property.
Unfortunately not - as you all know, we love all animals! But sadly Whispering Springs cannot accommodate furry friends. There will, however, be horses on site if you would like to have some time with animals :) There is also a kennel very close to the property, called Tucked Inn Kennels.
We have been told that cellular reception isn’t the strongest in this little corner of the countryside. But hopefully, you'll be having enough fun that it won't matter. You can always send us your photos and videos later!
We will be in touch with instructions as soon as the accommodation booking is open. For now, please just confirm on your RSVP whether or not you would like us to reserve a tent for you :)
We would (truly) prefer no gifts. After many moves across the country (and world), we have realized the importance of reducing our "stuff". We promise, we have more than we need at home already! We feel so blessed that you're choosing to spend this time with us, and we know it's a huge effort to come out. Your presence is, genuinely, what we would love most as our wedding gift. For those of you who absolutely insist on bringing something, we have put together a small list of things that would fit our home. We will link this list under the "Helpful Links" page.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to Charlotte at cklhobson@gmail.com or Marcus at marcus.lomboy@gmail.com. Or if you have our numbers, feel free to send us a text!
