Question
Strict DUI entry laws/ Passport
Answer
Please be aware that Canada has strict entry requirements related to impaired driving offenses, which apply to both land and air travel. A single DUI offense that occurred before December 2018 may be considered eligible for entry if 10 years or more have passed. However, any DUI offense after December 2018, or multiple DUI offenses, may result in being denied entry to Canada. We sincerely apologize if this impacts any of our guests and recommend confirming your eligibility to travel with a Canadian immigration expert in advance to avoid any unexpected issues. Additionally, please make sure you also have a current passport that does not expire within a month of our wedding day!
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
Please reference our Travel Tab for hotels in the area.

Will there be dancing?
Answer
Oh yes — there will definitely be dancing! After 9:30 PM, things might get a little more “late-night playlist” with some unfiltered lyrics and songs that aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. If that’s your cue to call it a night, we’ll send you off with hugs and zero judgment!
