Question

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The Wedding Weekend begins on July 10th at 12:00PM. The Ceremony will commence at 5:00PM on July 11th, please arrive 10-15 minutes before start time.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

For the Wedding Weekend, please feel free to wear whatever you'd like! For the Ceremony and following merriment, plan to wear cocktail attire (cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits, and breathable dress shirts and slacks).

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Yes, each guest has a plus one.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

As much as we love our friends' kids, this is an adults-only celebration.

Question

What about food throughout the weekend?

Answer

We'll have casual, self-serve meals throughout the weekend, with favorites like Costco pizza, hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches, breakfast items, and snacks. If you have any dietary restrictions, allergies, or specific food preferences, please plan to bring any specialty foods you'll need. We will be providing a catered dinner on Saturday night for the wedding. Thank you for understanding and we can't wait to celebrate with you!

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Ideally, we would love to have all of our guests stay on site (please refer to the "Lodging" page). However, we understand that these accommodations may not work for everyone. We recommend booking an Airbnb or VRBO rental along Silver Lake, near Camp Saturna, ASAP. Sumas, the next town over, is about 20 minutes away from the venue and has 2 hotels: Sumas Mountain Lodge and B&B Border Inn. Lynden is 35 minutes away from the venue and has a few more options. Please be aware that Camp Saturna is very close to the Canadian border; Abbotsford is in Canada, which will require border crossings, therefore we do not recommend booking accommodations there.

Question

What if I can only make it on July 11th for the wedding?

Answer

While we hope that you can attend our Wedding Weekend, we totally understand that is a big "ask" and time commitment for our guests. If you are only able to attend the July 11th wedding and reception, no worries. We just ask that you RSVP accordingly.

Question

I want to stay on site. What do I need to bring?

Answer

Please review the "Lodging" page.

Question

I want to get on the lake but I don't have a kayak or canoe. What do I do?

Answer

No worries! The camp has plenty of gear for everyone, including 10 paddleboards, 2 rowboats, 12 canoes, 5 kayaks, and lots of life jackets.

Question

Can I bring my dog?

Answer

As much as we love animals, pets are not allowed.
