The ceremony will be held at Our Lady of La Difesa Church, located at 6800 Henri-Julien Avenue, Montreal, Quebec H2S 2V4.

The ceremony will be held at Our Lady of La Difesa, a Catholic church, and will include a traditional Catholic mass. The mass will be conducted in Italian, with parts of the wedding ceremony in English to ensure everyone can follow along.

The church is situated in a residential area in Little Italy with limited parking options. While there is no dedicated parking lot, street parking is available nearby. Please be mindful of local parking signs and restrictions.

We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before the ceremony to allow time for parking and seating.

The ceremony starts at 1pm at the church, so we recommend being seated at least 5-10 minutes prior as we expect to start right on time. If driving, please note that street parking can be a bit challenging, so give yourself enough time to find parking.

Yes, the church is accessible via public transit. The nearest metro stations are Jean-Talon and Beaubien.

We’re working on arranging a shuttle service for guests staying at the Hyatt Centric Montreal to and from the church. This will primarily be for out-of-town guests without cars. Stay tuned for updates!

If the shuttle service is confirmed, we’ll provide the exact times closer to the wedding date.

We kindly ask that you put away your phones and cameras during the ceremony. We’ve hired professional photographers and videographers to capture every moment beautifully, and we’d love for you to be fully present with us. Don’t worry—you’ll get to enjoy the photos and videos after the wedding!

We’d love to have everyone there, but please check your invitation to see if you’re invited with a guest. At this time, only married couples or couples in very long-term relationships get a plus 1 as we are trying (with difficulty) to keep our numbers down. If you think we may have made a mistake, let us know!

While we adore your little ones, our celebration will primarily be an adults-focused event, with exceptions for immediate family & some out-of-town guests with babies. Please refer to your invitation. If you have specific circumstances, feel free to reach out to us directly—we’re happy to chat!

Church: Church attire and/or formal, with a British twist (Optional & just for fun, in honour of the groom’s heritage. Think Fascinators & Hats). Reception: Formal attire. If you want to participate in our "Fall Meets Winter" theme, you can wear jewel tones, darker colours, etc, but ultimately, wear whatever makes you happy! Treat yourself & have fun by dressing to impress.

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all. In keeping with tradition, we kindly ask for no physical gifts, as we are unable to bring them back to England. For those who wish to gift us, a monetary contribution is deeply appreciated as we begin our life together.

Cocktail Hour: Starting at 5:00 PM, enjoy a buffet with a variety of options to suit every palate. Dinner: A plated service will follow, featuring a choice between braised beef or black cod. Midnight Buffet: with plenty of savoury favourites and desserts. COME HUNGRY! :)

Absolutely! If you are vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, or have any other dietary restrictions, please let us know in advance, and the venue will happily accommodate your needs.

Yes! There will be a premium open bar throughout the evening, so raise a glass and celebrate with us!

We plan to keep the party going until 2:00 AM when the open bar closes. Get ready for a night of fun, dancing, and celebration!

Please kindly RSVP no later than Saturday 11th October 2025 to help finalize our plans.

We get this question a lot, and the answer is: it really depends! Historically, early November temperatures range from -2°C to 6°C, but it can swing wildly. For example, November 2024 saw highs of 21°C early in the month, dropping to 3°C within a week. Our advice? Prepare for all seasons, just in case—layers are your best friend! Like any couple planning a wedding, we’re crossing our fingers for a dry day.

In our experience, flight prices can vary greatly depending on the time of year, which is why we chose November—it’s typically much cheaper! If you find return flights anywhere between £300–£500 (or less), we recommend booking as soon as possible. As of January 2025, we’re seeing roundtrip flights from London Heathrow (LHR) to Montreal for around £400, so keep an eye out for similar deals!

Absolutely! Snap away during the reception, but please be mindful of our photographers and videographers, who will be capturing the special moments.

Nope! Nothing makes sense or sounds good to us so feel free to just tag us on your social media channels so we can see your pictures & videos! :)
