Order Of Events
Saturday September 2, 2023
3:00pm – Arrival
Because of the installations required to host the number of guests invited to our wedding, we will have an extremely limited number of parking spots available on our property. Those will be reserved primarily for the wedding party, our vendors and guests requiring a spot for accessibility reasons.
We kindly ask that guests use the provided shuttle service to and from the wedding site and the host hotels. Even guests who are not staying at the hosts hotels can park there before boarding the shuttle bus. This allows us to manage parking limitations on site as well as the safe travel of our guests. Drinking and driving is not permitted.
Once you arrive on the property, please make your way to the backyard where the ceremony will take place. In case of rain, the ceremony will take place under the main tent.
Water will be available for guests.
3:30pm – Ceremony
The wedding ceremony will begin promptly at 3:30 PM, in the backyard behind our home. An order of ceremony will be placed on each seat. We ask that guests do not sit on chairs marked by a reserved sign.
Once the ceremony is complete, we ask that everyone remain at the ceremony location for a group photo.
4:30pm – Cocktail Hour
After the ceremony, we ask everyone to take their folding chair and bring it to their table under the tent. A seating chart will be posted with your assigned table and each place setting will have an assigned name. In an effort to reduce workload on the select few who will be helping us on the day of, we really appreciate your help with this task.
Under the tent, you will also find the bar. It will now be open for our cocktail hour, and features a selection of complimentary wine, beer, coolers and non-alcoholic drinks. Please help yourself.
Then enjoy the run of the property for cocktail hour while we do some family and wedding party photos before we join you.
There will be lawn games and lounging spots for you to enjoy. Hors d’oeuvres will be passed by our catering team.
6:00pm – Dinner
Dinner will be served at 6:00 PM and is buffet style.
We’ll be asking one table at a time to go up to get their plate to avoid congestion in the service area.
Our southern style BBQ will be prepared by pitmaster Matthew Rushworth and features a selection of meats and sides.
A vegan/vegetarian option is available by request for those who indicate this on their RSVP.
Please contact us with any dietary restrictions you may have.
Dancing
It’s time to party!
Kick up your heals and enjoy some tunes on the dance floor as we party and celebrate together.
Bonfire
Later in the evening, we will start a bonfire at the firepit.
Time to wind down the music (we are grateful we don’t have direct next door neighbours but the sound does carry), and have a more chill end to the evening with some fireside chats.
We’ll have the necessary supplies to make some great smores over the fire for a late night bite.
Thanks for Joining us!
The same shuttle service that got you to the property will be running all evening long to take you back to the host hotels when you’re ready to call it a night.
Thank you for coming to our wedding!
We’ll see you tomorrow for a casual farewell BBQ with hot tubbing.
Sunday September 3, 2023
11:00am – Farewell BBQ!
After the Saturday celebrations, we are pleased to invite our guests back to our home for a casual BBQ on Sunday. Food and drinks will be provided. This is entirely optional, but we recognize many of our guests are travelling from far away so we would love another chance to see everyone on this special weekend.
1:00pm – Hot Tubbing
Bring your bathing suit and towel! During the BBQ we’ll have the hot tub open so you can take a relaxing dip.
