With love,

Our ceremony will be held at Ambledale Farms — 1211 Beaver Point Rd, Salt Spring Island.
There’s a field where you’re welcome to park, or you can park along the road or at the Town Hall and walk up. We’ll have signs (and someone there to guide you) to make sure you find your way.
The farm’s a beautiful spot, but the ground can be uneven (with a bit of sheep poo here and there!), so we suggest bringing a spare pair of shoes to walk up in, or choosing chunky shoes that can handle the terrain.
The reception is within walking distance from the farm, at Beaver Point Hall — 1361 Beaver Point Rd, Salt Spring Island.Beaver Point Hall is a charming, historic community space with beautiful hardwood floors and a covered area outside, but the celebration will mostly be indoors.

Camping
Ruckle Park (4 min drive from the reception)
Mowhinna Creek Campground – near Ganges, highly recommended!
Airbnb
Plenty available across the island. Book soon!
Other Options
Ruckle Heritage House – very close to Beaver Point Hall and (as of writing) still available for 8–10 August
There are a couple cabins on the farm property so please reach out if you’re looking for accomodation.

We strongly recommend bringing your own vehicle or carpooling. Taxis on the island are limited and can be expensive.
We are looking into shuttle options for after as not everyone will be staying close by - our beloved Douglas does not like to drink and LOVES to designated drive (highschool Maggie can attest to this) so there should be trips leaving throughout the evening. -
This is a casual, come-as-you-are kind of wedding!
Ryan: probably in suit pants + dress shirt (only the best for Maggie)
Maggie: unsurprisingly, in a dress
The ceremony is outdoors — pack layers, sun protection, and something waterproof just in case.

We truly don’t want or expect any gifts — we’re just stoked to celebrate with you.
That said, if you really feel like you want to contribute something, we’ve popped a few honeymoon experiences below that we’d love to do while we’re in Italy. If anything catches your eye, feel free to chip in — totally optional, no pressure at all!
-
Day Before (8 August)
We’ll be on the island getting things sorted. If all goes well, we’d love to gather informally with anyone around that evening. TBD depending on chaos levels!
Day After (10 August)
If you’re still on Salt Spring, join us for a relaxed day—swims, games, maybe a visit to a cidery. Bring your togs (swimsuits for the Canadians) and towels and let’s see where the day takes us!
