FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

PLEASE DO NOT WEAR BLACK. We would appreciate everyone attending our special day to show up in formal attire. Again, please do not wear black. Not like you would want to during a dry, hot Alberta summer day anyway. But, hey! This is the one wedding you can wear white to! Since our venue is outdoors we recommend wearing flat shoes or a chunky heel to avoid getting your feet stuck in the grass.

Question

Where is the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Address: 281121 Range Rd 30, Rocky View County, AB T0M 0S0 All of our wedding events will be hosted at the Turner Family Farm, a rural property approx. 30 mins. outside of Calgary. We have provided a map and directions on our 'Venue Location Details' page for your convenience.

Question

How do we get there? Is transportation provided?

Answer

This private, rural location does not have Uber or Taxi services available. Transportation will not be provided. We encourage all of our guests to coordinate their own modes of transportation to and from the venue location. To get to the venue, we strongly suggest that guests drive their own vehicles and setup carpooling arrangements. Should you plan on having a cheeky cold one (or 6), please do not drink and drive. We encourage you to set up DDs that can pick you up safely from the venue. Here's a good opportunity to cash-in a favour from a loved one that owes you one. Please contact us directly for any questions or concerns you may have.

Question

Is there an open bar?

Answer

In this economy?! We're providing the flexible option of a TOONIE BAR for our wedding. PLEASE ensure that you BRING CASH to purchase drinks. Unfortunately, the option of a payment machine is not reliable out on the rural venue property. So again, BRING CASH to wet your whistle.

Answer

Our reception will officially-unofficially "end" at 2:00 am. Just because the DJ booth will be shutdown at that time that doesn't mean the party is over (if you know, you know).

Question

Do you have a gift registry?

Answer

Cash contributions will be put towards our honeymoon and a first-time-homebuyers savings account! We're too good at interior decorating to keep renting.
