FRIDAY, July 24, 2026
CECIL GREEN PARK HOUSE
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA

Early RSVP

Our venue has limited space, so to help us plan thoughtfully, we’re requesting you respond to the survey below as soon as you can — even if it's a maybe for now.

A more formal RSVP, including dietary preferences, will follow closer to the date of the wedding. We appreciate your early responses!


Accommodation

There are many accommodation options in Vancouver depending on your preferences. We would recommend the following three for different reasons.

An oceanside boutique hotel, located in English Bay, one of the most beautiful places to catch a sunset in the city. You’ll be close to incredible dining options, Stanley Park for walks or bike rides, and right next to the Seawall. 25-minute Uber to the venue.

A boutique hotel in the heart of Vancouver’s iconic Granville Island. Wake up to ocean views and sip your coffee on the patio, rated top 10 patios in the city. You will be surrounded by art galleries, unique shops, and only a 20-minute Seawall stroll from Kitsilano Beach. 20-minute Uber to the venue.

Only a 12-minute walk to the venue, this is an incredibly convenient option located in the heart of UBC’s gorgeous campus. Close by you’ll find the Museum of Anthropology and the iconic Wreck Beach. UBC is Sam’s alma mater and he is free to give tours upon request ;).

FAQs

Can I bring a date?

We kindly ask that you refer to the names addressed on your Save the Date email.

Are kids welcome?

While we love your little ones, our wedding ceremony and reception will be an adults-only celebration. Babies who are nursing are, of course, welcome.

What should I wear?

Our dress code is formal, but not stuffy. Think suits, cocktail dresses, or a floor-length dress you’ll feel your best in.

To give you a sense of the setting, we’ve included some photos of our venue so you can picture yourself sipping a spritz at cocktail hour on the terrace.
