We kindly ask for all RSVPs to be submitted by June 1st so we can give the restaurant a final headcount. Any RSVPs not received by June 1st will be assumed to be regretfully declined.

We ask guests to please be at the venue by 4:00PM so everyone is in place before the ceremony begins. Guests who arrive after 4:00PM will be asked to wait in the reception area during the ceremony as to not interupt the procession.

We ask all guests to keep their phones and cameras away until after the ceremony, including the Bride & Groom’s walk back down the aisle as newlyweds. Our lovely photographer, Kourtney, will be uploading professional, non-iPhone photos to this page after the wedding which you're welcome to use to post, print or make into tshirts!

After the ceremony, we’d love for you to take photos during the reception and after-party, and share them on our Photos page so we can look back on the people we love enjoying our special day!

As much as we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only ceremony and reception. We reserve the right to ID any guests who appear to be three children stacked in a trench coat.

Gatineau is the part of Ottawa which sits on the Quebec side of the provincial border. Saint Eloi Café is a roughly 20-minute drive from downtown Ottawa (depending on bridge traffic) and accessible by Uber.

See our Accommodations page for a map including the venue location, our hotel suggestions, and a few Ottawa landmarks!

Yes - both the ceremony and reception will be at the beautiful Saint Eloi Café overlooking Lac Leamy (Leamy Lake). The ceremony will be fully outdoors on the lawn by the water and dinner will be indoors in the restaurant, with the party both inside the restaurant and outdoors on the patios.

For the folks still standing, our after-party will be down the street from the restaurant at Casino Lac Leamy.

Yes! Saint Eloi Café is in Lac Leamy Park which is east of the Rona through the trees. Trust the GPS process and you’ll find us!

There is plenty of free parking at Saint Eloi Café where you're welcome to park for the evening or leave your car overnight if needed.

There are several levels to the venue, so please let us know if you need any mobility accommodations.

Vegetarian/Vegan options are included on the menu, but please note any additional dietary restrictions, including allergies, on your RSVP.

We invite guests to get dressed up with us in cocktail attire. Cocktail-length or long dresses, dressy sets, and suits and ties are all welcome, but, above all, we hope you’ll wear whatever makes you feel your best and ready to celebrate with us!

We ask that guests leave white for the bride, and avoid wearing dresses or suit jackets which are predominantly white or shades of white.

Please note, parts of the festivities will be held on grass and on deck-floor terraces, so thin-heeled stilettos are not recommended.

We’re going for Vegas glam, so there’s no need to change for the casino. Feel free to swap into more comfortable shoes or add a bit of Vegas flair, but note we do not have a dedicated space at the restaurant to store costume changes during the reception or overnight, so only bring what you’re happy to have at your seat and with you at the casino.

As excited as we are to get lucky at our Vegas themed after-party, we know that a full day of celebrating deserves a good night’s sleep. Please feel free to join us after the reception at Casino Lac Leamy or call it a night!

Absolutely!

Casino Lac Leamy is down the street from Saint Eloi Café, and there will be one shuttle bus from the restaurant to the casino after the reception for those looking to keep the party, and the dice, rolling. Please make sure to arrange your own ride home from the casino.
