Q + A

An "Unplugged" Ceremony

The greatest gift you can give us is to be fully present and share this special moment with us. We invite you to put down your devices and refrain from taking photos and videos during our Ceremony. We will happily share with all of you the Photographers photos at a later date.

The RSVP's are confusing. Can you please explain?

Of course! On June 14th, we are having our wedding ceremony and reception. On June 15th, we are having our celebration. Those of you invited to the celebration will have received 1 RSVP card. Those who have been invited to the ceremony and reception have also been invited to the celebration, therefore you will have received 2 RSVP cards. **PLEASE RSVP to each day SEPARATELY** If you only wish to attend one of the days (the ceremony/reception OR the celebration) we completely understand, and just ask that you reflect that on the separate RSVP's.

Why are some people invited to the ceremony and reception on June 14th, and others only the celebration on June 15th?

Simply put: we unfortunately don't have a lot of money. As unusual as it sounds, having 2 days of celebration is actually much less expensive than having everyone attend the ceremony and reception on June 14th, which we could not have afforded to do. Please know it means nothing personal. If money was no object we would have invited every single one of you to the ceremony and reception on June 14th as you all have been a positive, loving and supportive part of our lives and we appreciate you greatly. We love you all and are so grateful that we can add a second day to allow for you to be there to celebrate with us!

Is there a dress code for both days?

Yes! Please come dressed your best for both the Wedding and the Celebration. The required attire is formal.

Parking at Cave Spring Vineyard

Turn onto Cave Spring Road from King Street in Beamsville. Once on Cave Spring Road, follow it all the way up and around the bend, following the signs for the Wedding Sites. You will see a "Private Property" sign... just continue on past that (we promise its ok!) Before the end of the road you'll take a left to continue to the Vineyard Retreat. The road will get windy - please park at the designated parking area NOT the retreat building or on any part of the roadway. Please see below map:

Directions from Ceremony Venue to Reception Venue

Go back down to King Street the way you came. Turn right onto King Street and drive 10-12 minutes to Jordan Station. Turn left onto Main Street. Parking will be on the right hand side, closer to the end of the street. Inn on the Twenty Restaurant is on your left, just after the parking lot, across the street from the Inn itself. Please see below map:

Why are you asking for money instead of having a typical registry?

As we have been living together for a few years now, we have everything we need! We also don't have very much storage space to hold anything extra that we may get and cannot use yet. We very much enjoy experiences more than physical items and would love to go to Kalathos in Rhodes, Greece for our Honeymoon. We hope to go on as many adventures and make as many memories with each other as possible! We do not mean any disrespect by asking for a monetary gift in lieu of physical gifts. We hope you understand.
