Question

Why is it not a formal wedding?

Answer

We had every intention to host a formal wedding on August 3 in Ingonish, however 9 months prior we learned that our venue, Keltic Lodge, and Parks Canada would be doing construction and closing half of the resort for the 2024 season. This meant our capacity was limited, and much of the venue would be closed for our guests. At that point all other venues in the area were booked and we decided to do a small ceremony abroad with just family. It was a bitter sweet decision and we genuinely appreciate your understanding. We hope that you will have just as much fun at our celebrations!

Question

What is the dress code for the parties?

Answer

The dress code for Ingonish will be dressy causal. The event will take place outdoors on grass, so please plan footwear accordingly. For New York, the dress code is cocktail. The Club's dress code requires jackets and shirts with collars for men. Denim, t-shirts, tank-tops, cut offs are not allowed.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Ingonish: The average temperature in Ingonish in August is 21 C / 70 F. It is typically warm summer weather during the day, but can cool down at night especially near the ocean. New York: The temperature in Tuxedo in August ranges from 27 C/84 F to 15 C/61 F. The event will take place both indoor and outdoor.

Question

Will there be transportation to the parties?

Answer

We will not have transportation coordinated to/from the events. If you are planning to drink alcohol, please coordinate a drive with your hotel, a local taxi or a designated driver. Note, there are no Ubers in Ingonish and limited Uber access in Tuxedo.
