THE PROPOSAL

AUGUST 6, 2021
Amidst ongoing lockdowns, Kait and Eric made a list of summer date ideas they could enjoy regardless of business restrictions: hiking, canoeing, river floats, wine nights on their patio. Eric asked Kait if she could take a Friday afternoon off — he was planning a picnic in the mountains.

As the week progressed and details emerged, Kait realized this wasn’t just any picnic. They needed to pick up a catered picnic basket from River Cafe, they needed pillows, they needed a tripod, Eric bought a new outfit…what was the occasion?! A girl can dream, right? 

Friday arrived and they found their picnic spot overlooking Banff. The view was hazy from ongoing forest fires, but this meant they had the spot to themselves. Their picnic lunch wrapped up and Eric suggested they take a photo with the tripod he had conveniently borrowed. Moments later, he was down on one knee. She said yes. 

After calling family and friends to share the news, Eric suggested they grab drinks in Banff. Little did Kait know he had planned an overnight stay, complete with a pre-packed bag with her favorite shoes and outfits. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day.

COMMON QUESTIONS

When is the RSVP deadline?
Please respond here no later than April 30, including menu selections. This allows us the time we need to finalize all the nitty-gritty details with our caterer and vendors.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Both the ceremony and reception are indoors, however, our venue includes an outdoor patio space to enjoy during cocktail hour and to cool off throughout the evening.
What's the dress code?
Cocktail formal. So many of us have spent the last two years in sweatpants (Eric) — dust off your suits, dresses and dancing shoes and let's celebrate in style!
We know you're vegetarians. Will the menu be as well?
Yes! We can't wait to share a delicious three-course dinner with you. You'll survive, we promise.
If you're coming with your partner, we recommend you each select a different meal so you can share and try a bit of everything.
Can we bring our children?
We love your kids, but we want our wedding to be your night off!
What can we expect for drinks?
We are hosting cocktail hour and will provide wine for the table during dinner. Additional drinks can be purchased from the bar at a reduced rate throughout the reception!
