FAQs
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
For the ceremony - Church appropriate attire (ex. suit or just dress shirt + tie for men, modest cocktail/formal dress for women) For the reception - Our dress code is formal/black tie optional. Ladies: Bright and colourful attire is encouraged (with the exception of white). Let your personality shine! Feel free to get creative with floral designs, whimsical dress styles and fun jewelry! Floor length gowns and cocktail dresses are also encouraged. Gentlemen: Feel free to be colourful too, or keep it classic with black – your choice! Suits are encouraged.
Question
What can I do between the ceremony and reception?
Answer
After our ceremony, we will be providing flavoured iced cold brews and desserts at church. Feel free to enjoy and hang around church afterwards. We recommend departing from St. Catharine's by 4 pm to arrive at cocktail hour on time, as there will be food, drinks and live music starting right at 5 pm!
Question
Can I bring my children?
Answer
For the ceremony - we would love to see and celebrate with your children! For the reception - while we absolutely love your kiddos, our reception is an adults-only event. Treat yourself to a kid-free night of fun - you deserve it!
Question
Do you have a gift registry?
Answer
We do not have a gift registry. Your presence is truly the greatest gift we could ask for. However, should you wish to honor us with a gift, a monetary contribution toward our future together would be sincerely appreciated.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
There is free parking available at both our ceremony and reception locations.
Question
How can I get from the ceremony to the reception?
Answer
The best route of transportation would be to drive or Uber/Lyft. The reception venue is about 45 - 60 minutes from church, depending on traffic. Please plan ahead for a safe route home (such as carpooling with others or Uber/Lyft) if you are planning on consuming any alcohol at the reception.
