When Is the RSVP Deadline?

Aug 31st, 2025

Where Should We stay?

We have blocked off a set of rooms at the Best Western Plus Otonabee Inn (Peterborough) at a discounted rate. Just call to make your reservation and let them know you are there for Michael & Christina's wedding. There will be a shuttle bus that will pick up & drop off at Millbrook Cathedral.

Alternatively, there is a Super 8 motel across the street from the Best Western or some AirBnBs in Millbrook that may be available. Even if you do not stay at the Best Western, you can still use the shuttle.

Is there Parking available at the Venue?

Yes! There is parking, although limited. We highly encourage you to use the shuttle bus or call a taxi. You can leave your car until at Millbrook until 9:30am the next day if you do take a taxi.

The venue recommends CapitalTaxi: (705) 742-4242

What is the dress code?

Formal. At least we will be :D

When does the shuttle leave? When should we be there by?

Shuttle will be leaving Best Western at 2:30 to get to the venue for 2:55. The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00pm. If you do not require the shuttle, please arrive anytime between 2:30 and 2:55 pm

Can I bring a Date?

We kindly ask that only those listed on the invitation attend. While we'd love to celebrate with everyone, we had to keep our guest list limited. Thank you for understanding, and we can't wait to celebrate with you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring my kids?

We've decided to host an adults only celebration.

Is ok to take photos of the wedding with our phones?

We kindly ask that you keep your phones away during the ceremony so we can all be fully present. We encourage you to take as many photos as you'd like during the reception!

Is it an open Bar?

Yes.

Where are you Registered?

Your presence on our wedding day is the greatest gift we could ask for, and we are truly grateful that you are making the journey to celebrate with us.

Should you wish to give us a gift on our wedding day, we kindly ask for a contribution toward our honeymoon and our future, as we will not be setting up a traditional registry.

Does the Hotel have Early Check-in?

We requested early check-in and they are confident that you will be able to check-in early at 1pm, but cannot guarantee it until closer to the date. We ask that you communicate with the hotel regarding this.
