It started the day we got booked on our first file together. Somewhere between tight deadlines, questionable office coffee, and Alessia taking selfies of us on her KPMG laptop, we became good friends. Laughing at the same things, grabbing food between meetings, and texting about everything except the file we were supposed to be auditing.

After a year of this, Matthew finally asked her out. She said yes. He quit KPMG the following week. (We're still debating whether those two events are related.)

Our first date went amazing. At the end of a long workday, we slipped out for a bite and a drink, and it just clicked. Afterwards, Matthew drove Alessia home to RDP, did the math on the gas, and decided it was entirely worth it. Many more followed: weekend drives in the Crosstrek, a thorough audit of every serious pasta spot in Montréal, and our first trip to Disney World, where we proved we could laugh through 100-degree weather and still come home more than excited to plan the next trip. Life, frankly, has never been better.

When we pictured what our wedding day should feel like, the answer was clear. Chaotic, in the best way. Filled with laughs, drinks, amazing food, and all the friends and family we love. A church that is special to Alessia and her family, a lakeside venue that was the first one we saw (and we immediately knew it would be the last), and a dance floor we fully intend to close down.

Come hungry. Come thirsty. Come ready to dance. We cannot wait to celebrate with you.

The Ceremony

Mission Maria Ausiliatrice

A beautiful Catholic parish in Rivière-des-Prairies with deep roots in the Montréal Italian community. This is where we'll exchange our vows. Please plan to arrive by 1:50 PM so you can find a seat before the processional begins.

A quick ask: the ceremony is a traditional Catholic mass. Please keep phones on silent and save the photography for the photographer.

The Reception

Château Vaudreuil

A short drive west of Montréal, Château Vaudreuil sits on the shore of Lac des Deux Montagnes, surrounded by gardens and old trees. Cocktail hour spills onto the waterfront patio, dinner moves indoors to Pavillon Hall, and the dance floor opens once the plates are cleared.

Complimentary valet service runs from the hotel to the venue, so guests staying on-site can arrive at the reception without the hassle. A block of rooms is held at a reduced rate (see Travel below).

The Alessia
Amaretto Sour · Her forever order
The drink Alessia has had one too many of at every single one of her parents' Italian association events. A staple of her Saturday nights since age eighteen.
The Matthew
Mojito · His forever order
The drink Matthew shamelessly orders every single time he goes out. Learned from his dad at sixteen, ordered with confidence ever since, at any bar or restaurant, even if it isn't on the menu.

Wait, two venues? How does that work?+

The ceremony is at Mission Maria Ausiliatrice (a Catholic mass at 2:00 PM in Rivière-des-Prairies), and the reception, from cocktails through dancing, is at Château Vaudreuil in Vaudreuil-Dorion. The two are roughly 55 km apart (45 to 60 minutes by car).

What if I can only make part of the day?+

We completely understand. The reception at Château Vaudreuil begins at 4:30 PM, and you are warmly welcome to join us there. We're excited to see you, drink with you, and close down the dance floor together.

What is the dress code?+

Formal attire. Think tuxedos, suits, floor-length or cocktail dresses, and shoes you can actually dance in. No jean shorts, no cargos, and nothing you would catch Borat in.

Is there parking at the venues?+

Yes. At the church, there is a parking lot on site as well as street parking in the surrounding area. At the reception, you can park at the hotel and take the complimentary valet to the venue, or park directly outside Pavillon Hall.

Can I bring a plus one?+

Your invitation will specify. If it's addressed to you "and guest", then yes, please include their name when you RSVP. If the invitation does not specify, feel free to reach out to Alessia or Matthew directly. All guests must confirm by July 1st at the latest.

Is Luca going to be there?+

Officially, yes (briefly, in a very important capacity). Unofficially, Luca will be supervising from a comfortable location with staff dedicated to belly rubs and snack service. He sends his regards.

Who do I contact with other questions?+

Reach out to us directly, or to our wedding coordinator. Contact details will be included with your formal invitation.
