Question

Can I come to all the wedding events?

Answer

We wish we could share every moment with every loved one. But some events, like the Mehndi and the Golden Revelry, are invite-only due to space and intention. If you’ve received an invitation to one of these gatherings, we’re so honored to have you there. If not, please know your presence at the ceremony means the world to us, it’s the heart of it all.

We’ve already built a life and a family together, this is simply a sacred pause to honour that love with words, witness, and tradition.

Question

The Golden Revelry Bar Details

Answer

A limited open bar selection will be available during the reception, along with water and non-alcoholic beverages. Water will be available at the welcome table upon arrival, and additional non-alcoholic options will be available throughout the evening. Guests are also welcome to bring additional beer, wine, or spirits if they wish. All outside beverages must be left at the designated drop-off table upon arrival. Please do not bring beverages directly into the ceremony space. The Butterscotch Barkeeps will transfer all items to the reception area before the ceremony begins. All drinks, including BYOB items, will be served from the bar during the reception. To keep things organized and flowing smoothly, guests should not retrieve beverages from vehicles once the event has begun. Self-pouring is welcome at the bar, and clear plastic cups will be provided. As this is a community-style celebration, we will do our best to keep items organized; however, we cannot guarantee exclusive reservation of personal beverages.

Question

The Golden Revelry Dinner Details

Answer

Dinner will be served buffet-style during the reception. Tables will be invited one at a time to gather their plates. Please wait until your table number is announced before proceeding to the buffet area. Guests will briefly walk down the ramp to access the kitchen area where the buffet is located, then return to the reception space with their plates. This allows us to protect the food from weather and ensure everything stays fresh and organized. During this time, tables may also be invited to take a photo with the couple while waiting to be called to the buffet. We appreciate your patience as tables are called in waves to keep things flowing smoothly.
