Derek & Karlee

August 16, 2025 • St. Albert, AB, Canada

Ceremony details?

The Botanical Garden is a small and intimate setting close to the St. Albert River Valley and Trail system. The venue will only technically setup 100 chairs for us. We kindly request that family and those with mobility issues are seated first. We love all of our guests and hope to have more bodies than chairs! It is a public space and plenty of room for all of us to stand + fill in around the Rose Garden! It is entirely an outdoor space so please dress accordingly. There is a public washroom and gift shop on site.

What should I do between the ceremony and reception?

Check out our "Things to Do" tab for some suggestions for food/activities between events.

Reception details?

Dinner will be catered by a delicious local Ukrainian restaurant. We can't wait to share one of our favorites with you! Please let us know of any dietary restrictions when you RSVP. Liquor will be a cash bar and tickets will be available for $5 each - to be purchased at the reception. Aside from this just make sure to bring your dancing shoes as Karlee will not be leaving the D-floor all evening! "Two-left foot" Derek will also make a frequent appearance out there after a couple of Pepsi's. Reminder that our special day will be an adults-only event and limited to those included on your invitation.

Dress code?

Semi-formal/ cocktail summer wedding attire! Whatever you feel comfortable in. Derek just draws the line at NO ROUGHRIDERS JERSEYS! Saskatchewan Rush lacrosse jerseys would probably be okay although he still misses the team being in Edmonton.
