Q + A

Is there parking?

The most secure lot is the underground parking, it costs approximately $30 to park there and only accepts debit or credit. This lot is located at 539 Queens Quay West. It is approximately a 5 minute walk to our boat. Otherwise, we can provide a list of local public lots in the area if requested. Unfortunately parking is not guaranteed being downtown Toronto and most lots require a fee of minimum $20 or more. We strongly suggest being dropped off or taking an Uber if that is possible. Please plan accordingly.

What time can I board the boat?

We strongly encourage you to plan accordingly and arrive as early as possible. We only have 30 minutes to board between 4:30 and 5:00. The boat leaves at the exact time it is scheduled for and unfortunately will not wait for anyone.

How long is the cruise?

The cruise is approximately 6 hours. We ask that you board between 4:30 and 5. We are set to take off at exactly 5:00pm and arrive back around 11:00pm. You will have between 11 and 11:30 to get off the boat.

Will there be a ceremony? Or it just a reception? And food?

Yes, the ceremony will occur first just as every wedding. Following a cocktail hour, and a reception with dinner.

Will there be a bar on the boat?

Of course! We have an open bar for the duration of the cruise. The bar will open only after the ceremony at approximately 5:30.

What if it rains?

We cruise whether it rains or shines! Unless deemed unsafe you will be contacted to not attend. There is plenty of indoor space for us to celebrate!

Will there by any children on board?

While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.

Will I be allowed to smoke?

Yes, there is a designated smoking area, it is on the rooftop. You are only permitted to smoke there. Please be respectful of other guests and the boat staff by only smoking there. (420 Smokers; j’s only, please only in the designated area)

Will I be able to leave early?

A water taxi can be arranged at your expense shall you need to leave the cruise early. You do need to let us know in advance to schedule a water taxi so we can make sure one will be available throughout the night. It is your responsibility to pay for the water taxi. They may require an advance payment for reservation.

Can I Take Photos During Your Ceremony?

Absolutely! We do ask that you are mindful of our photographer and videographer as they have been hired to capture the moments. We would also appreciate your phones being silenced for the ceremony.

What boat will we be boarding?

Yankee Lady III, it is located at 259 Queens Quay West, behind the Police Marine Station

It's my first time on a boat, will I get motion sickness?

It will be a first time for a lot of us. The boat is shaky to begin. But afterwards is fine. We do suggest if you are concerned to take gravol prior to boarding. You can also buy a nausea relief bracelet from your local pharmacy to wear if you wish. We will provide some gravol for guests in case anyone wishes to take some when boarding or throughout the evening.

Do you have a registry?

We have been living together for quite the number of years, and have everything we need. Our little apartment doesn’t have space for much so we do not have a registry.

Please avoid the “So when are you having kids?” Topic

This is a very sensitive topic for the couple, and we would really appreciate it not being a discussion or any questions that follow the topic

Can I bring a plus one?

Only those formally invited may attend. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate any additional guests as we are already at maximum capacity with those invited.

If I have any questions or issues who do I contact?

Please contact the bride at 705-984-9197 by text or call if you have any questions or issues
