We suggest arriving Saturday and making it a weekend experience. The ceremony musical prelude begins at 1:30 PM making check-in more complicated on Sunday. Alternatively, you could check-in after the reception.

If you are driving to the wedding, complimentary parking is included at Elora Mill at 29 Ross Street.

Yes! We are arranging a charted bus from both Delta Hotels Guelph at 12:45 PM and Hampton Inn Guelph at 1:00 PM. There will also be three return trips at 10:30 PM, 11:30 PM & 1:00 AM to ensure our guests get back to their accommodations safely.

The ceremony will be held in the The Foundry across the bridge beginning at 1:30 PM. The cocktail hour (3:00 PM) and the successive reception (5:00 PM) will be held in The Granary.

We’ve entrusted Kitchener group ‘Phoenix Trio’ to welcome our guests with instrumental versions of some of our favourite songs. Arrive early so you can enjoy the whole collection and see how many you can recognize.

Handfasting is an ancient symbolic marriage or betrothal ritual where a couple’s hands are gently bound together with ribbons, cords or fabric. Deeply rooted in Celtic, pagan and medieval European traditions in Ireland, Scotland and England. Historically used as a formal engagement that lasted a year and a day before a formal church wedding. Thought to be the origin of the phrase ‘tying the knot.’

All of our wedding events will be held indoors but there will be umbrellas provided in the case there is poor weather. Just bring open hearts, dancing feet and maybe some tissues!

Yes. We’d like to invite our guests to spend time with us after the rehearsal so we can share some drinks and laughs before the big day!

No. We are providing an open bar for our guests so you can leave your wallets and purses behind. The bar will be open from 3:00 PM to 12:30 AM.

Our venue will have you choose your meal selection at the wedding reception. There will be a traditional beef and vegetarian option with a third option yet to be chosen. Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions so we can accommodate them.

We ask that everyone turn off their cell phones and refrain from taking photos for the ceremony, however, we encourage photos during the remainder of the day and would appreciate guests utilizing the marker #AnoraHills on social media so we can easily see the memories you created on our special day.

We are fairly established in our home in New Paltz and while we appreciate any gifts offered, we would prefer contributions to the immigration process. Essentially making our guests a permanent part of our story.

October in Southwestern Ontario has extremely varied climate conditions. Usually the early mornings and nights are quite chilled while afternoons are rather warm. It’s probably best to dress in layers.

James will be relocating to New Paltz, New York. We hope that after the transition that we’ll have plenty of visitors.
