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're like John Yach or Andre Pelletier, you might want to eat something beforehand.

What about dietary restrictions?

We've got you covered — there will be plenty of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options circulating all night, along with plenty for the carnivores.

What do we do with coats and boots?

Wear them. It's Ottawa on December 31st — there's a dedicated coat check at the door for coats, boots and anything else you'd rather not dance in.

Can we bring someone?

Unfortunately we can only accommodate those invited.
