Questions

Will there be a ceremony?

No, we’re legally getting married the day before. New Year’s Eve is the celebration, and we can’t wait to spend it with our favorite people!

What should we wear?

Formal attire. Ties optional.

Is there dinner?

It’s a cocktail-style reception, so there will be food circulating all night and plenty of it — but it isn’t a sit-down dinner. If you’ve got an appetite like John Yach or Andre Pelletier, you might want to eat something beforehand.

What about dietary restrictions?

There will be plenty of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, along with plenty for the carnivores. Please specify any restrictions in your RSVP!

What do we do with coats and boots?

Wear them. It’s Ottawa on December 31st — there will be a dedicated coat check at the door for coats and boots.

Can we bring someone?

Unfortunately we can only accommodate those listed on the invite.
