What do we wear?
Use this as an excuse to wear something super fun and over the top! Wanna dress formal? Do it! Cocktail chic? Do it. Suit and tie? Do it! Full Met Gala? Do it!
Still confused? Right.
Perhaps lets err on the dressier side but ultimately we can't tell you what to do. Be extra, flamboyant, colourful, sartorially elegant but be yourselves and be comfortable. Keep in mind we won't have tables for everyone so there will be more standing time. If you wear a white dress I'll cut you.
Will there be a plated dinner?
Heavens no, we're barely holding on as renters but there will be a girthy grazing table with vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options, albiet less good options but they'll be there. #charcute
Do you have a registry?
We just moved and after that hell we can never acquire stuff again so no. Should you want to get us a gift a contribution to our honeymoon would be beyond generous but know your presence is gift enough. Really.
Are Children invited?
Although we love your children, we've elected to limit our ceremony and reception to adults only. #sns
Is there an open bar?
Omg rude but yes.
Will there be pizza and hotdogs?
Only if you sing a Karaoke song. (There may be Karaoke, maybe) If not you get carrots and celery with the rest of the cowards. We will likely have a little late night pizza for the brave souls who make it to Valhalla with us at the end of the night.
But this is on Thanksgiving???
Yes. Both of our families get together on Thanksgiving weekend so it was the best way to continue the tradition and now we can include all of you. We understand that you may have family commitments as well and don't expect you to break your own traditions. If you are unable to make it, do let us know as soon as possible so we can invite someone better.
Is there Parking?
Yes, the whole complex offers parking though we would ask anyone who plans on drinking to kindly take a cab, Uber, Hopp or TTC. If you need assistance we'd be happy to help you out so nobody has to get into a sticky situation.
I live out of town sooooo
We know many of our close friends and family don't live in Toronto. Travel and accommodations in Toronto can be pricey and the last thing we want is for this to be a burden or prohibitive for anybody. Talk to us. We have many friends and family in town who can help host. We will do all we can to help arrange for easier and cheaper travel as well. If at the end of the day it's all too much, all good. We totally understand. No explanations needed. Goodbye forever tho.
Where is the closest Hotel?
The closest hotel to the venue is The Old Mill. It is a 10min and approximately $15 uber ride to the venue.
Pros
Reasonable price if booked in advance
Located in beautiful area 2 subway stops from our home
1 stop away from vibey west end village
Cons
Nothing within quick walking distance - like nothing but a park
Far from downtown if you want to do some exploring
What's with the sarcasm?
Hi, Antoine here, that was all Maya, obviously. BUT for those of us that know us well, we value humour and a good laugh above all. Maybe it's a way to take the edge off a lot of stressful planning. Know that it's all from a place of love and our way of handling doing this.
