The Details

Date:

Saturday 7 September 2024

Time: 

The ceremony will begin at 7:00pm but please plan on arriving around 5:30pm for beverages, hors d’oeuvres and canapés. After the ceremony, we’ll carry on socializing and snacking.

We’ll eventually move downstairs to Swans Brewery – and yes, they do brew their own beer! – to respect other hotel guests and the hotel’s quiet-hour preferences.

 

Food and drink:

We’ll be offering a delicious assortment of amuse-bouches prepared by Chef Michael Ooms and inspired by the local flora and fauna of Vancouver Island. 

“Sharing food is how a chef expresses love to those around them. The act of cooking with passion brings joy to their heart, creating an opportunity to connect and spread that happiness. Every dish is a tribute to the chef’s journey and devotion to the craft and to the endless possibilities of food.” – Chef Ooms

Dress code:

While we expect that the local constabulary will insist on clothes of some sort, what you wear is entirely up to you. Please, be your weird and delightful selves.

 

Gifts, wedding registry and such:

The present of your presence is all that we ask. Gifts are unnecessary and we’ve not organized a registry anywhere.
