Frequently asked questions.

How do I RSVP?

Our dinner will be invite only, as we can only accommodate for close friends and family. For the dinner we will be gathering RSVP’s from our website only - So you will need to click the RSVP tab on the top right corner of our website to RSVP at any time before the deadline. When RSVP’ing please indicate by name those members included on your invitation and whether they will be attending.

What is the RSVP deadline and what if I miss it?

We kindly ask that you RSVP by May 5th, 2025. If you do not RSVP by this date, we will assume you are un able to attend and you will be marked as “not attending”. If you miss the deadline, unfortunately we will not be able to accommodate you on our special day, as set numbers need to be in to our venue by this date.

What type of gifts do the couple want?

If you wanted to get us a gift, we’d greatly appreciate contributing to our future together!

Help us create our dream of having a healthy start in life together with any amount that is on your heart. We thank you wholeheartedly for blessing us with this token and we ask that God returns it to you tenfold and blesses you richly!

We will have a card box on the day of the wedding if you’d like to drop something off for us, or you are welcome to send a token via e-transfer to Kyla.simmons@dal.ca . If you choose to send electronically, please include a message so we know who you are and can thank you!

What if I cannot make it?

You will definitely be missed! If you cannot make it to the dinner, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP “Not attending” so we are able to plan accordingly. If you’ve previously RSVP’d “Attending”, but can no longer make it, please notify Kyla or Kadel as soon as you are aware.

Can I bring a date/plus one?

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guest formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, it will be clearly stated on your invitation and we ask that you include them by name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding.

Are kids welcome?

Invitations will be specific and will include the names of children who are invited. For those of you that will be bringing children, please be sure to watch them closely.

What time should I arrive?

Our ceremony will begin promptly at 2:00 pm and dinner at 6:00 pm, so we kindly request that you arrive 15-30 minutes early to ensure you don’t miss anything. This will also give you time to park, sign the guest book, mingle and find your seat. If you arrive after the event has started you will be asked to wait outside while entrances take place.

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

We invite guest to take as many photos as you’d like during our special day. However, especially during the ceremony, we kindly ask that any photos be taken from your seat. We have professional photographer working closely with us to capture special moments and want them to be able to do so without interruption.

Don't forget to share photos you’ve taken with us through our photo app.

What is the dress code?

We’d love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our special day! Dress to impress in your best formal or cocktail attire. Please no jeans/denim and AVOID SHADES OF WHITE.

Where do I park?

Ceremony: A large parking lot directly in front of the church is available, free of charge. We ask that guest refrain from blocking the entrance to the church as the wedding party vehicles will need access in and out.

Dinner & Reception: Underground parking is available at a cost in the Marriott Hotel parkade. A discounted rate of $12/night is available to our overnight guest, or you can pay an hourly rate. Additionally, parking on the weekends is free downtown Halifax so if you are able to find a spot close to the venue TAKE IT! Uber is also a great option, that is available 24/7.
