Our Story

Our Love Story

Evan and Jenn first met while attending Gravenhurst High School together. As the future husband and wife didn’t spend much time together back then, they had no idea that the love of their lives was just down the hall. 

In 2011, Jenn and Evan both traveled to Costa Rica on a school trip, where Jenn will happily tell anyone who listens that Evan saved her life in the rapids. Even then, the future lovebirds had no idea what fate had in store. Soon after, they went their separate ways: Evan headed off to college to study Architecture, while Jenn moved to Peterborough to get her Bachelor's degree and later pursue teaching.

After living away from Muskoka for over ten years, fate stepped in once again, and both Jenn and Evan independently decided to move back home in the very same year. Once reunited in Muskoka, they quickly reconnected, and the rest is history.

Meet the Wedding Party

Important Notes

While we wish we could host everyone, we have made the decision to have a child-free wedding with the exception of our two ring bearers. We appreciate your understanding in this matter and hope to be able to celebrate with family of every age at other events such as the Bridal Shower and the Engagement Party.

To help ensure everyone’s comfort, we kindly ask that our wedding be scent-free. Please refrain from wearing perfumes, colognes, or strongly scented products. Thank you so much for helping us create a welcoming space for all.

Attire

Dress your best for our formal celebration and don’t be afraid of colour. Think bright dresses, colourful suits, and bold ties, we can’t wait to see your vibrant style.

This will be an August indoor-outdoor wedding, with most spaces open to the elements, so please dress comfortably for the weather.

Check Out Our Wedding Colours!
