It's really hard to drive in winter! Why a winter wedding?

CJ and I have both been married before and wanted something different as well as during a time when we are both slower at work. We understand the Alberta winter roads can be treacherous. We will be doing a live stream of our ceremony if you wish to enjoy and celebrate with us from the comfort of your home. <3

Do we need to book a hotel from your links?

Absolutely not. Canmore offers a lot of beautiful AirBNB's that may be more affordable. We got hotel discounts for the ones closest to our venue so you can be in walking distance.

Can I bring a date?

Due to the limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for your understanding!

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

With Alberta weather being so unexpected, we opted for an indoor wedding. Both the ceremony and reception will be located at CanGolf so no change of venue!

Is there a gift registry?

Your presence is more than gift enough! And our house is full. So we have not registered anywhere. We are just so grateful to have you with us.

Are kids invited?

Invitations will be specific and will include the names of the children invited. Due to space, we are only able to accommodate the children in our wedding party and family. We hope you understand and can enjoy a fun date night!

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

We recommend that you arrive at least 20-30 minutes before our 3:30PM ceremony time. This gives us enough time to be on schedule.

What should I wear?

We love dressing up for special occasions and what's more of an excuse than a wedding on New Years Eve! We would love to see our family and friends dress up with us! We are requesting semi-formal attire. For example: Women are more than welcome to wear any semi-formal dress or pant suit (we aren't hosting the MET gala, so don't think you have to dress too fancy). Men can wear a button-up, dress pants/or nice jeans, and a suit jacket (if they desire). We kindly ask that you avoid colours traditionally reserved for the bride - white, ivories and creams. Perfect colours that match our wedding - purples and black.

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones during the ceremony?

We have hired an amazing local photographer to capture all special moments. In addition, we have asked certain family members to control the zoom call for family and friends that can't be with us and to record our vows. We will be setting a quick minute aside before we begin the ceremony for you to take photos. We ask that you then please put them away for the remainder of the ceremony to be present with us. You are more than welcome to take all the pictures and videos during the reception! Please keep an eye for the QR code for our picture app so we can easily compile all the great moments captured from all angles!

Is there a place to smoke?

There is a smoking area just out the front doors of CanGOLF. Please don't smoke on the balcony.
