The wedding will be held at the new (or rather very old) barn at Kirkland house in Ladner, BC. The ceremony will be held outdoors in the very unlikely chance of a sunny day in March. Otherwise, we will be wed inside the barn. In either case, we highly recommend checking the weather before heading out to see if you should bring sunglasses and sunscreen or a coat and umbrella.

There is ample parking at the venue but we encourage anyone planning on enjoying wine, beer, or spirits to take the free shuttle from the hotel (see Travel & Lodging).
Apparently, it is customary to provide guidance for guests on the dress code. Don’t be fooled by the notion of ‘a barn wedding’ – it’s a classy venue! We would therefore appreciate if you could dress up a bit. Any pretty dress/cute skirt/snappy shirt and tie/sharp suit you have in your closet would be dandy (and no, we don’t remember what you wore to so-and-so’s wedding so feel free to reuse). Essentially, no need for a tuxedo or full length gown but the Hawaiian shirts and jeans should probably be saved for Sunday. Please be aware that the ceremony may be held outdoors on a grassy lawn.
