Glad you asked! We need you to make a selection for each person in your party. There are 3 choices: Grilled Boneless Chicken Breast, Maple Sumac Salmon and Seared Beef Tenderloin.
Please feel free to leave it here or email jackiethelen@yahoo.com. Default selection will be chicken.
What time does the reception end?
Good question, around 10pm. May go a wee bit later, but for now, let's say 10-ish or 11-ish?
How do I get to Goderich?
If you are flying, fly into either Detroit (3 hour drive) or Toronto (2 hour drive). If you are a US Citizen, don't forget your passport!
Is there anything to do there?
Definitely. At the hotel, there is a spa and golf. If you go into Goderich, which is a really pretty town set along Lake Huron, there is shopping, hanging out and watching the sunset.
Close by, there are parks and waterfall where you can go biking, fishing, swimming and enjoying the beautiful area.

Do I have to go to the bridge?
Absolutely not! It is a historic and beautiful old bridge, but we want you to come to our wedding and enjoy yourself. There is no seating at the bridge, so if you want to skip that...no worries!

What's the overall plan for the weekend?
We are keeping it low key as we want you to be free to relax and enjoy the area as much as we do.
Friday night is a light reception, which will leave you time to have dinner on your own.
Saturday at 3:45 is our ceremony at the bridge. The cocktail reception is Saturday at 4:30 followed by seated dinner at 5:30pm. Then mingling, dancing and frivolity until 10 or 11 or ?
Sunday - if you booked your room at the hotel, using Thelen/Read Wedding to book your room will include breakfast which will be on your own. This way you can relax and feel refreshed.
Will there be transportation to the bridge?
Unfortunately no. Pete recommends hitch-hiking as it is only 5 miles away...but I would leave early if you choose that option as not many cars pass by!
Drive your car or rideshare with a friend you just met!
What do I wear?
We want you to be comfortable. Be as casual or dressy as you like. We aren't here to impress anyone. We are happy you are willing to spend your precious time with us.
