Does your wedding have a theme?

Much to Lilian's father's dismay, this is not a Halloween wedding. So please no costumes!
We are, however, incorporating many elements from our favourite festival, Samhain - the origin of modern-day Halloween.
This is one part of the many Celtic, pagan, and secular witchcraft traditions we have chosen to include in our celebration.
We ask for those who do not practice our same religious beliefs to keep an open mind and enjoy the day we are sharing together.

When is the RSVP deadline?

The absolute latest we can retrieve your response is September 15th.
Unfortunately, those who do not respond before then will be considered absent from our celebration.

Can I bring a date?

Unfortunately, if we have not designated a +1 for you, we are unable to accommodate an additional guest as we have a tight headcount.
We do love and truly appreciate everyone who wishes to join us on our special day.  If we could invite everyone, we would!

Are kids welcome?

Our celebration is strictly 19+ only.
As much as we love little ones, we will not be including them in the ceremony or reception.
Think of this as an excuse to have a night for yourselves! :)

I am coming from out of town. Where should I stay?

Here on our site we have listed wonderful things to do, food to eat, views to see, and places to stay on the travel page!
In addition, we are hoping to have a discount established with hotel(s) nearby to help ease the burden of travel fees. 

Check back soon to see what we're able to do!

What will the weather be like?

It's hard to say as October can go many ways.
We're hoping for a mild dry autumn but it's also said rain on your wedding day is good luck!

What should I wear?

Our dress code is semi-formal and all black.
Please bring a warm layer for the outside ceremony, cocktail hour, and when you leave in the evening.
It's hard to say what the weather will be like in autumn, so it's better safe than sorry.

Are there any colors I should avoid wearing?

All of them! 🖤
We are asking for all those attending to please respect our wishes of an all black dress code.
While accents and accessories do not necessarily need to be, we ask that at least a majority of your attire be black.
Think funeral finest, but vogue! 💅🔥

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Our wedding ceremony is outdoors in a forest, followed by a short cocktail hour on the patio nearby.
In case the weather decides to not cooperate, we will have space heaters, tents, umbrellas, and warm drinks available on the patio.
Our reception that follows will be indoors.

Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?

Unfortunately, since our ceremony is taking place in a forest, the path to it is unpredictable as it is not paved.
However, our reception space is indoors, accessible, and we would love to have you join us for the celebrations!

What time should I arrive?

Please begin arriving no earlier than 3:00pm, the sweet spot being 3:15pm.
When arriving, we ask you to head straight towards the ceremony forest as the reception hall may still be getting prepared by our lovely vendors.

Where should I park?

There is plenty of free parking near the entrance of the ceremony forest as well as on the opposite side of the cider house near our reception.
There are many signs provided by the venue guiding you to the available areas.
Please do not park along the lanes or anywhere outside the marked designated parking areas.

The venue is kind enough to allow anyone to leave your vehicle on the property overnight (until 11am) if you are unfit to drive home after partying hard with us!
Please make sure you get home safe, that's our top priority 💜

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?

Yes! We would love for you to take photos and share them with us. The more the merrier during the reception!
However, please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony as we're having an "unplugged ceremony".

Our officiant will remind everyone of this rule and give you a chance to snag some quick snaps before we begin the ceremony.
From that point onwards, we have a wonderful photographer, Taylor, whose job is to get the golden moments captured for us.
Please let her work her magic and respect our wishes to have everyone enjoy the ceremony fully present.
We will happily share the images from Taylor with everyone once we receive them!

What is a handfasting ceremony?

Handfasting is an ancient Celtic ritual in which the hands are tied together to symbolize the binding of two lives.
Once upon a time, handfasting ceremonies were considered legally binding wedding contracts in some areas of the world.
It is also where the phrase "tying the knot" comes from.

Will food be served?

Yes! We will be sharing a delicious dinner together, as well as light bites during cocktail hour beforehand.

What if I have a dietary restriction?

We get it, we have them too!
We will be in touch with those whom we know have allergies.
If you don't believe we are already aware of dietary restrictions you have, please include it on your RSVP.
Food is our love language and we want to make sure all are able to enjoy dinner with us during our celebration.

What time will the reception end?

Last call for drinks, booty shaking, and final memory making moments will be at approximately 9:30pm.

Is there a gifts registry?

We acknowledge that our wedding is technically a destination celebration for most of those invited.
Please do not feel a gift is required if money is tight. We would rather you share our day with us. Your presence is our present!

If you have the ability to spend comfortably, we ask that in lieu of traditional gifts, we would prefer financial contributions towards our family's future.
If cash isn't your thing and your love language is gift giving, we have a small gift registry made.

You can find more information about ways to contribute or how to find our gift registry here on our site!


Most importantly: Who do we have to thank? You!

Our wedding wouldn't be possible without the help of some wonderful people, including:

And thank you to you, and everyone else who is helping to make it all happen!
