FAQs
Question
Where is the "Bateman farm"?
Answer
The farm is located between Elfros and Leslie, SK — approximately 2 hours from both Regina and Saskatoon. A map and coordinates can be found on the Schedule tab. We will also have signs at the turnoff from Highway 16 to help guide you.
Question
A Note for Parents
Answer
Children are welcome to attend. Please note that The Bateman Farm is a working farm, and although all machinery and equipment will be parked and inactive during the wedding, there will be grain bins, farm equipment, and other potential hazards on the property. For everyone’s safety, we kindly ask that children remain supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.
Question
How do I RSVP? When do I need to RSVP by? What if I need to change my RSVP?
Answer
You can RSVP directly on our website by clicking the RSVP tab and filling out the form. Please RSVP by June 1, 2027. If we haven’t heard from you by then, we will assume you’re unable to attend. If you need to update or change your RSVP after submitting it, please contact Dani or Ryan as soon as possible.
Question
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Both the ceremony and reception will take place outdoors. The reception will be held under a tent. Blankets and fans will be available to help keep guests comfortable throughout the day. We also recommend avoiding high heels, as they may sink into the grass.
Question
What happens if it rains?
Answer
The reception will be held under a large tent, so the celebration will continue rain or shine! We recommend bringing a light jacket as evenings can cool off.
Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We will have a professional photographer capturing the ceremony and kindly ask guests to keep phones and cameras put away during this time so there are no distractions in the background.
Question
Will there be washrooms available?
Answer
Yes! We will have two flushable washrooms available, as well as additional portable lavatories.
Question
What if I have any allergies or food restrictions?
Answer
If you have any allergies or dietary restrictions, please let us know as soon as possible so we can make the appropriate arrangements.
Question
How much is the bar?
Answer
There will be a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages available for guests to help themselves to, so there will not be a bartender. We will have donation boxes available if you would like to contribute toward drinks. A suggested contribution is $2 per drink. Cash is appreciated for the donation boxes.
Question
Will there be a shuttle at the end of the night?
Answer
Yes! A shuttle will run every hour starting at 8 PM from the farm to Foam Lake (La Vista Motel) and Wynyard (Arrowhead Motor Inn). A pickup location and schedule will be posted in the yard.
Question
Is parking available?
Answer
Yes, parking will be available in the farmyard as well as along the road.
Question
Can I camp at the farm?
Answer
Yes! There is plenty of space if you would like to park a camper or set up a tent at the farm. However, we likely won’t have enough power for camper hookups. If you require power or showers, information for the Foam Lake campground can be found under the Where to Stay tab.
Question
Will you have a registry?
Answer
Although gifts are not required, they are greatly appreciated. Our registry can be found here: https://www.myregistry.com/giftlist/mcphee2027 We will also gladly accept cash gifts to help fund home renovations and our honeymoon.
Question
Is there anything to do in the area?
