Wedding Day

How do I RSVP for the wedding day?

To RSVP, use the wedding website tab labeled “RSVP”. From here, you will be able to RSVP for you and other guests invited in your household. Please note that RSVPs for the wedding ceremony and wedding reception are separate, this helps us know if you’re only able to attend the ceremony. Please be sure to RSVP by July 13th, 2025 and answer all the dietary restriction questions so we can be sure to accommodate everyone!

When should I RSVP by?

To help us with planning, we kindly ask that you RSVP on our wedding website by July 13th, 2025. If we haven't received your RSVP by then, we'll unfortunately have to assume you're unable to attend. We truly appreciate your understanding, as this allows us to provide our venue with an accurate guest count in a timely manner.

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Our ceremony will begin promptly at 1:00 PM. To ensure you have plenty of time to explore the grounds and get settled, we kindly ask that you arrive between 12:15 and 12:45 PM. Guests arriving after 1:00 PM will unfortunately need to wait until the social interlude to join us. We appreciate your understanding!

Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Our wedding will be a blend of indoor and outdoor celebrations! The ceremony will take place outdoors under a covered gazebo, followed by a social interlude in a beautifully set outdoor tent. The reception will then move indoors for an evening of dining and dancing. We also encourage guests to arrive early and enjoy a stroll around the grounds before the ceremony begins at 1:00 PM.

Where will everything take place?

All of the wedding day events, from the ceremony to the after party will all be in one gorgeous indoor/outdoor venue. For more information on the venue, including the address, please refer to the wedding invitation. If you have any other questions about the venue, feel free to email kateandjosh2025@outlook.com.

What if I can only attend the ceremony, but not the reception?

There are separate RSVPs for the ceremony and the reception, so if you’re only able to attend the ceremony, just let us know by selecting that option. Be sure to RSVP by July 13th, 2025!

Is there parking for the ceremony and reception?

Free parking is available at the venue, and accessible pick up/drop off is also available.

Will there be a bar?

There will be an open, non-alcoholic, bar available all day and some specialty (non-alcoholic) drinks served during the social interlude! Coffee and tea will also be available after the reception.

What should I wear?

While we don’t have a formal dress code, we’d love for you to dress up and celebrate in style with us! Think florals, fun and light colours… whatever makes you smile. Please keep in mind that our wedding will take place both indoors and outdoors in the middle of August, so expect warm weather!

Can I bring a guest?

Due to space limitations and other considerations, we are only able to accommodate the guests listed on the RSVP. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope you can still join us in celebrating our special day!

Can I bring my kid(s)?

When you RSVP, if your child’s name is listed along with yours, we would love to have them join us! If they are not included in the RSVP, unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate them. We truly appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

What if I'm unable to attend the wedding in person?

We’ll miss you, but we’d love for you to still be part of our special day! If you’re unable to attend in person, you can join us virtually. We’ll be streaming our ceremony live at 12:45 PM on YouTube. Just head over to the Join Online tab on the wedding website at that time, and you’ll find the link to watch the celebration unfold from wherever you are.

I'm planning on joining online, how do I do that?

Visit the "Join Online" tab on the wedding website or search: www.youtube.com/@KateandJoshOegema. The livestream will begin at 12:45 PM, and the online ceremony will begin at 1:00 PM. We are so honoured to have you join us virtually for our special day!

I have more questions about your wedding, who can I contact?
