FAQs

What is the itinerary?

The whole day will be spent at Ancaster Mill! The ceremony begins at 2:30 – between the ceremony and reception there will be a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres. The reception will last until 12:30 AM but please don’t feel like you need to stay the whole time! We just want to make sure we have plenty of time to spend with everyone.
What time should I arrive?

Please aim to arrive by 2:00 so we can start promptly by 2:30. There’s only one entrance into the ceremony space so we won’t be able to let anyone in once it starts.
What are the addresses of the wedding ceremony and reception venues? Are they wheelchair accessible?

Both venues are located at the same place: 548 Old Dundas Rd, Ancaster, ON L9G 3J4, Canada Both venues are also wheelchair accessible! The area is on a bit of a hill so please be mindful of this especially in the wintertime.
What’s the dress code?

We ask that you wear semi-formal/cocktail attire.
What color is the wedding party wearing?

The wedding party will be wearing dark green but please don't worry about wearing the same color!
Will the ceremony and reception be indoors?

Yes! Both the ceremony and reception spaces are indoors. However, they are not in the same building but are located next to each other. You can walk between the two or the venue will supply a small van to shuttle guests back and forth. Here's a map of the venue to help:

I'm coming from the US (or any other country that is not Canada) - do I need my passport?

YES - if you are traveling from outside of Canada you will need a passport to enter the country. This includes if you are driving across the border.

What will the weather be like?

Well… it’s Canada in January so be prepared to bring a coat/scarf/gloves to wear when outside. As mentioned, the ceremony and reception will be indoors, but the outdoor areas of the venue will be open and cleared of snow for guests to explore!

Glad you asked!
