Question

Is The Reception Indoors Or Outdoors?

Answer

The reception and ceremony will be indoors, but depending on the weather, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring a light sweater in case it gets a little chilly inside. We will have a coat rack to collect jackets as you come in. We want everyone to be comfortable as we celebrate!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

NO WHITE at all! Please also avoid pistachio green, as that is the colour of the wedding party. The dress code is semi-formal—no need for a tux (unless you want to!), but a dress shirt and pants would be great. For ladies, no super short dresses & dress pants are totally fine! We just want everyone to look nice while feeling comfortable. If you need further help with the dress code please reach out to us and we can provide you some photo examples.

Question

Will food be served?

Answer

Yes! We have decided to do a buffet-style dinner. The main course options will be: Asian Chicken Thighs, baked with a Robust 5 Spice Sauce Cuban Marinated Pork loin (citrus and garlic) with Mango Salsa Later in the evening, there will be a dessert table to munch on!

Question

Is there drinks?

Answer

Each guest will be provided with 2 drink tickets- these drinks are on us! After you use up your tickets, the bar will become a cash bar.

Question

Can I take photos?

Answer

While we love that you want to capture our special moments, we kindly request an unplugged ceremony to allow everyone to be fully present and immersed in the experience. Our professional photographer will be capturing all the highlights, and we'll share the photos with you afterwards. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in creating a distraction-free environment for our ceremony.
