FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a passport?

    Yes! All guests will need a valid passport to enter Canada. See "Passport Info" page for more information.

  • What is the dress code?

    We want everyone to look and feel their best, and are requesting formal attire. For women, this is midi or maxi dresses. For men, a traditional suit and tie.

    Please be mindful that the ceremony will be held outdoors, so stiletto heels might be difficult!

  • Will there be a registry?

    No, we know it's a lot to travel, especially internationally, and your presence on our special day is truly the best gift. But if you feel inclined to give us a gift, we are asking our guests to contribute to our honeymoon fund.

  • What time should I arrive?

    The shuttle busses will be picking up at the Malcom Hotel at 3:30pm on Friday, August 21st. For people not staying at the hotel, you can walk/uber/drive to the Malcom hotel and pick up the shuttle! The ceremony then promptly starts at 4:30pm.

  • Should I rent a car?

    We recommend renting a car, since there isn’t an easy way to get to Canmore otherwise. Plus, we highly recommend extending your stay and exploring the stunning surrounding areas!

  • Will transportation be provided day of?

    Yes, transportation will be provided from Canmore to the ceremony, then to the reception, and back to Canmore in the evening.

  • What will the weather be like?

    The weather can vary in the Canadian Rockies, but it’s typically between 47°F (low) to 72°F (high) in August in Canmore.

  • Can I bring a plus one?

    Due to capacity restrictions at the venue, we ask that only the people on the RSVP come.

  • Can we bring our children?

    While we love your little ones, we ask that this is an adult-only affair, unless otherwise written on your invitation.

  • Do I need an adapter for my electronics?

    No! Luckily the US and Canada use the same pronged outlets, so you will not need any adapters.

  • What is the exchange rate?

    As of 2025, the CAD exchange rate to USD is 0.71, which means the CAD is ~30% cheaper, which we like to think of as a “30% discount!”

  • Will I need to get Canadian cash?

    Only if you want to, but Canada takes major credit cards almost everywhere, so cash shouldn’t be needed.

  • I have a criminal record, am I allowed in Canada?

    As of December 2018, Canada does not allow United States residents into the county if they have a criminal record. In order to enter they country, you may need to get a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) with the RNMP, this can be done online and comes with a fee. Otherwise, you may be stopped and turned around at the border.
