We would suggest a garden attire as this is a smaller, outdoor wedding (eg. sundresses, suits in lighter hues). Tuxedos, black suits, and floor-length dresses would be best saved for a black tie event. But unless you show up wearing white or cream, you'll be just fine. We just want you to be comfortable. On that point, please note that if the weather permits, we will have the ceremony outdoors on the lawn by the beach, so stilettos may not be the best choice, and you may be at the wind's mercy.
If your invitation says “and Guest,” then yes, if not, we would prefer if it was just you. We want to keep our event intimate.
During the reception, feel free to take as many photos and selfies as you wish. But during the ceremony, we would prefer that our professional photographer be the only one taking pictures. Don't worry, we'll share his work with all of you.
Most of the wedding is either outdoors, or in a room with large doors that fold open to the outside, making it as close to an outdoor venue as possible. It's a very small event, with under 40 guests. The venue has assured us their servers will wear masks. And we are requesting that our guests who are not fully vaccinated please take a COVID test shortly before the wedding. If you would like to wear a mask during the ceremony or reception, don't be shy. You are NOT going to ruin the photos. We just want you to be comfortable sharing this moment with us.
Yes, there is more than enough (free) parking at the venue for everyone. And feel free to park overnight and make other arrangements to get back to your hotel room if you feel you drank too much to drive.
We firmly believe that your presence to our wedding is more than enough of a gift, especially since many of you will be traveling several hours, and some from out of the country. For those that would like some guidance on an additional gift, we have registered here: https://www.myregistry.com/giftlist/mariehelene-and-greg Since we're now in Canada, we're making sure every store on that list delivers easily to Montreal. But once again, we would rather you just come to the wedding and have a good time, and absolutely do not expect anything more.
