FAQs
Question
What happens if I do not RSVP in time?
Answer
If you do not submit your RSVP by the specified date, your invitation will be marked as "Not Attending." While we would love to have you join our celebration, we must provide our vendors with an accurate final guest count within their required timeframe. We appreciate your understanding and timely response.
Question
Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?
Answer
While we're keeping our rehearsal dinner intimate—limited to immediate family and the wedding party—we wanted to be transparent about this special pre-wedding gathering. If you are among those invited to the rehearsal dinner, you'll have the opportunity to accept or decline during the RSVP process.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
To ensure an intimate celebration, we're inviting only the guests specifically listed on your wedding invitation. If you've been granted a plus one, that guest will be reflected when you RSVP.
Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
While we adore children, our wedding celebration will be an adults-only event to ensure an elegant and relaxed atmosphere for all our guests.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Our wedding calls for elegant black tie attire. Women should wear floor-length dresses or gowns, and men are expected to don formal tuxedos or suits. Our color palette features soft, natural hues: cream, rose, taupe, and olive green. The ceremony will be entirely outdoors, weather permitting. The reception offers a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces, including a charming terrace and lawn during cocktail hour. For those concerned about navigating grass in heels, we recommend block heels—though plenty of paved areas will be available, and the reception venue is fully hardscaped.
Question
Is there parking at the venue?
Answer
Complimentary parking is provided at our venue. Guests can ignore the Impark payment stations and are welcome to leave their vehicles until 8:00 AM the next morning.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
We recommend arriving by 5:00 PM for our 5:30 PM ceremony. This will provide plenty of time to park, find your seat, and get comfortable before we begin. Please be aware that once the ceremony starts, guests will not be allowed to enter until it concludes.
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Yes! We kindly ask that all guests arrange safe transportation if they plan to enjoy our open bar. Your enjoyment and safety are our top priorities.
Question
What food will be served at your wedding?
Answer
We're excited to treat our guests to an exceptional culinary experience curated by Michelin-star chef Richard Singh. During cocktail hour, we'll serve a selection of elegant hors d'oeuvres, followed by a sophisticated four-course sit-down dinner. When you RSVP, you'll have the opportunity to choose your preferred entrée.
Question
How can I inform you of any allergies or dietary requirements?
Answer
When you RSVP, you'll have the opportunity to confidentially share any allergies or dietary restrictions. We'll carefully communicate these details to our catering team to ensure every guest enjoys a safe and delicious dining experience.
Question
What if I would like to change my entrée selection?
Answer
If you wish to modify your entrée selection, you can easily do so by contacting Laura directly or by completing the RSVP process again to update your choice. Please note that entrée options will be finalized on June 1st when RSVPs are due, so be sure to make any changes before that date.
Question
I am coming from out of town, where should I stay?
Answer
Toronto offers a wide variety of accommodations to suit every preference and budget. We suggest choosing a hotel downtown or on the city's outskirts, where convenient transportation options like Uber, Lyft, and the TTC make traveling to and from the venue effortless. For your convenience, we've curated a selection of recommended nearby hotels under the Travel tab.
Question
Is the venue indoor or outdoor?
Answer
Our wedding venue offers a delightful blend of indoor and outdoor spaces. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outside, contingent on weather conditions. Dinner will be served on the terrace under an elegant canopy, and we'll move indoors for dancing, late-night treats, and our cake cutting celebration.
Question
Can guests take photos and videos?
Answer
We invite you to be fully present during our ceremony by keeping phones and cameras tucked away. After we exchange our vows, we can't wait for you to capture and share the celebration through your lens—so feel free to snap away and document the joy of our wedding day.
Question
Do you have a gift registry?
Answer
We've set up a honeymoon fund and would be touched by any contribution you'd like to make toward our first adventure as a married couple.
