Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees.
We are excited to welcome our out-of-town guests to our home for a relaxed evening before the big day! This will be a great chance for us to spend some quality time together. We'll have snacks and drinks for you to enjoy as we catch up and celebrate. Due to space limitations, we kindly ask only our out-of-town guests to RSVP. For our local Calgary friends, we look forward to seeing you on Friday at the Cochrane Ranchhouse. We truly appreciate you all taking the time to join us, and we can’t wait to see you soon!
4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Garden Party/ Semi formal Vibes: Think sundresses, floral prints, suits in lighter hues or cocktail dresses and suits in other shades are welcome as well!
Our ceremony will begin at 4:30 PM, and we invite all our guests to start arriving at the venue from 4:00 PM onwards. Following the ceremony, we’ll be hosting a cocktail hour where you can enjoy some lawn games, a candy and drink bar, and time with our favourite people. We can’t wait to share this special moment with you!

We’re thrilled to share that after our cocktail hour, we’ll be kicking off our reception with a Zaffe! This is a traditional Arabic wedding entrance where dancers, singers, and drummers will joyfully welcome Ammar and Tanis as newlyweds. We’d love for you to be part of this vibrant tradition by gathering around us on the sides, clapping, or snapping your fingers. Our DJ will give you a heads-up before it begins, around 6:00 PM, and it typically lasts about half an hour. If you’re curious about what a Zaffe looks like or want to know what to expect, feel free to check out the YouTube video below by copying and pasting the URL! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wAmMRmvaYY
