Notes to Guests

Dress to feel your best — something you’d wear to a nice summer party. We’ll be celebrating in a backyard setting, so choose shoes that work on grass. Thank you for being part of our story and celebrating this day with us. We can’t wait to share good food, music, and memories together. Grab a drink, hit the dance floor, and help us make some memories. Please carpool if possible, bring cash for the bar, and remember: friends don’t let friends drink and drive.

By our sides

Our oldest siblings and forever role models — they taught us patience… mostly by testing it. 💖 It only feels right having them by our sides on this day — they have been guiding us, grounding us and cheering us on since day one.

Registry

Help us build out next adventure. We don't need things - just memories. We have all of the stuff we need, but if you'd like to give a gift, we'd love your help as we start this next chapter - our honeymoon, home and happily-ever-after fund. 💖

FAQs

Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

Dress to feel your best — think “summer party meets wedding.” We’ll be celebrating outdoors on grass, so pick shoes you can move (and dance) in. We kindly ask that guests avoid wearing white or cream. Please… no T-shirts.

Question

Is there parking?

Answer

Yes! Parking is available on site, but we recommend carpooling if you can — it helps with space and the environment.

Question

When should we arrive?

Answer

Please plan to arrive by 1:30 PM — the ceremony starts at 2:00 PM.

Question

What time does it end?

Answer

The celebration wraps up around 11:00 PM, so pace yourself — we want you on the dance floor until the end!

Question

Where are we staying?

Answer

If you’re coming from out of town, there are hotels, Airbnbs and cabin rentals nearby in Lake Cowichan. Book early — summer fills up fast!

Question

Is there a bar?

Answer

Yes — it’s a cash-only bar, so don’t forget to bring a few bills if you plan to have drinks.

Question

What if it rains?

Answer

We’ve got a plan (and tents!) — so don’t stress. The party’s happening rain or shine.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We’ll have a photographer capturing everything, so we’d love for you to stay present and enjoy the moment. After the “I do’s,” go wild — more memories, the better!

Question

Are pets allowed?

Answer

We love animals (you know us ), but this one’s for the humans only — please leave furry friends at home.

Question

Can I bring kids or a guest?

Answer

We love your little ones and the people you love most! That said, we’re keeping things cozy and intentional, so invitations are only for the names listed. If your invite doesn’t include extra guests or kiddos, we kindly ask that you join us just as you are.
