Where are the ceremony and the reception taking place?
The Lake House, 600 Liverpool Rd, Pickering, ON L1W 1P9
Is there parking available near your wedding venue?
Yes! When you are coming down Liverpool towards the lake, there is an event parking lot located on your left before having to turn right into the venue street.
What should I wear? Is there a dress code?
Our wedding will have a formal dress code. For men, this typically means a suit with a tie. For women, a long evening gown, a dressy cocktail dress, or a formal jumpsuit is perfect.
Will there be an open bar?
We will not be having an open bar, but a cash bar will be available for those who wish to purchase drinks. The venue accepts card payments but prefers cash for quicker service, do feel free to bring both! We will, however, be providing complimentary wine with dinner service for everyone to enjoy! Thank you so much and we appreciate your understanding!
Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony will take place on the second floor terrace of The Lake House. The terrace is 90% covered by an awning. The dinner & reception will be indoors.
Am I allowed to bring a plus one?
Unfortunately, we have a strict guest list due to venue capacity. Our celebration is strictly RSVP only. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your wedding invitation.
Am I allowed to bring my children?
While we love your little ones, our wedding will 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 there be food and drinks during cocktail hour?
After the wedding ceremony, we will be serving light passed hors d’oeuvres accompanied by a cash bar. We invite you to toast to our nuptials with a curated selection of wine, beer and cocktails.
Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding and post to social media?
Absolutely, we'd love for you to snap some memories during our ceremony & reception. That said, we kindly ask that you take a moment to be present with us and enjoy the day with us rather than spending too much time behind your screen. Feel free to share your favourite shots and post them as you wish - we can't wait to see the day through your eyes!
Have you reserved a hotel block?
Unfortunately, as majority of our guests live in the city in which the wedding takes place, we have not reserved any hotel room blocks. If you are looking for accommodations, please feel free to use any of the below close by hotels: Pickering Casino Resort or Hilton Garden Inn Ajax
