Timm & Kristina, sitting in a tree...

Over 15 years ago, two strangers found themselves at an afterparty. Since then, we've done some weird and wild things! In 2020 2024, we're kicking it up a notch, and we want you to be there as we tie the knot!

Travel & Accomodations

Flights ✈️

Our local airport is called Kelowna International Airport. From Europe, the best flights will include 2 layovers usually first in Amsterdam, Frankfurt or London, and one stop in Canada, usually Edmonton, Calgary or Vancouver. A total flight time of 15-17 hours is winning.

Another option would be to fly in or out of Edmonton or Calgary, and take a few days to drive to Kelowna. Along the way you will drive through famous Jasper, Banff, and Lake Louise. The views are stunning, you are likely to see wildlife, and you can go on breathtaking hikes. A great option for anyone with a few extra days to adventure.

Travel & Accomodations

Accommodations 🏨

The Okanagan has a vast array of accommodations on offer, and there should be something to suit everyone’s taste and budget. We would highly recommend that you book your accommodations as soon as possible as it books up quickly for the summer months.

Since our valley gets very busy with tourists in the summer, we would recommend staying in West Kelowna, if possible. The bridge between West Kelowna and Kelowna becomes a choke point for traffic in the summer. The events leading up to the wedding, the wedding venue, and reception will all be in West Kelowna.

We live in Rose Valley, and there are a great number of Airbnb options in our area, everything from a basement suite to large houses with pools. Something for everyone.

About the Area

If you venture across the highway from Rose Valley you will find the Lakeview area, which is where most of the wineries in West Kelowna are located.

In addition to basement suites and homes that are walking or cycling distance to wineries and beaches, there are also a number of apartment/condo complexes close to the lake and beaches. These apartment complexes would only be a 10 minute drive to our house, and would be a great option if you are looking for more privacy, pool, wine, and beach time.

Getting Around

Public transport is virtually non-existent here, so we highly recommend renting a car for the duration of your stay.

Airbnb or Vrbo

We would recommend using airbnb.com or vrbo to book your accommodations, and remember to book as soon as you can to give yourself more choice and lower prices.

Wedding Venue & Reception

Ceremony Location

Our wedding ceremony will be held at the Sanctuary Gardens in West Kelowna at 3pm on Saturday July 13th.

After the ceremony, there will be a champagne toast and time for pictures with friends and family.

Wedding Reception Location

At 5:30pm we will make our way Mount Boucherie Winery for the wedding reception where we will remain until midnight. Their restaurant, the Modest Butcher, offers one of the best dining experiences in the valley. We admit to spending many an afternoon here as it is one of our favourite spots, and our local!

Dress Code

The dress code for our wedding is formal. We suggest that men wear a suit in any color (tie optional) and women wear a floor-length dress, cocktail dress, or a nice pantsuit.

Please note temperatures rarely dip below 30 degrees in the summer. Keep this in mind when picking your outfit.

Adult-only

While we adore your children, our venue does not have the room for your little ones. Please make it a date night. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Food & Dietary Restrictions

Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions or preferences when you complete the attendance form.

Wedding Events 🕺

We are so excited that you are joining us for our wedding. As we know many of you have travelled far, we would love to have the opportunity to show you our new home.

In the week leading up to the wedding, we will be arranging for optional events for you to join. Come have fun with us, meet some of the other guests, and enjoy the Okanagan lifestyle.
