Ashley & Reinier

Some food, a few drinks, lawn games or maybe even a soccer match. A chance for everyone to get to know each other!

Also helping hands requested during this time for help with setup.

Casual! Please come in something comfortable, but remember to bring layers as it could get cold in the evening.

Our host camp for the weekend is the beautiful Zajac Ranch, located on Stave Lake in Mission, BC. Zajac Ranch boasts 40 acres of modern lodgings and various locations for activities - our perfect wedding getaway in the woods.

As a bonus, all proceeds from the wedding go back into the camp, to sponsor children with disabilities attending camp.

Note that the location is 100% NUT FREE. Some of the children who come to the camps are deathly allergic to nuts and we risk their lives if we bring food with nuts into the camp.

All guests are provided shared or private accommodations onsite at Zajac Ranch. Staying onsite will allow you take part in all wedding activities without having to drive anywhere!

There are three options for lodging:

1. Zajac Ranch has three lodges and each lodge has two sections of shared accommodations and a handful of private rooms. Shared rooms will be divided up among relatives and friends - your roommates will be people you know (unless you secretly request on your RSVP otherwise). Each room holds about 15 people. Dividers will also be available to create additional privacy. Each bed is either a single or a queen. Local guests - please bring bedding (pillow, sheet and comforter). Out of towners - we will arrange bedding for you. Just like camp, your room assignments will be given at the Friday welcome dinner on August 5.

Common rooms are located within each lodge in addition to private washrooms and showers. For more information on rooms, please contact us at nagelringrose@gmail.com.

2. There are three teepees that accommodate up to 8 people each. Please indicate on your RSVP whether you would be interested in shared teepee accommodations.

3. You're welcome to pitch a tent on the grounds and make it a real camping experience! Please indicate on your RSVP if you will be camping.

The camp's address is 15600 Florence Lake Rd, Mission, BC V4S 1C4

If you'll be staying with us at Zajac Ranch (we really hope you will!), please keep the following in mind when you're packing:

Bedding (pillow, sheet, comforter or sleeping bag) for locals. Out of towners - we've got you covered.
Semi-formal outfit for ceremony & reception (but leave your tallest heels at home as there is some gravel)
Basic toiletries: toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, compact mirror for putting on make-up, etc.
Sunscreen
Headlamp or flashlight to make your way around camp
Shower towel
Flip flops or water sandals for the shower
Pajamas & slippers
Lots of layers as it can get cold in the evening
Your best dance moves!

We'd love it if everyone could stay at camp with us, but we realize that staying in cabins might not be your thing. If you prefer, hotels and B&Bs are located about a 20min drive away.

Some fuel for the day ahead :)

Activities are TBD, but may include canoeing or kayaking, hiking, archery, ropes courses, lawn games, etc. You will have the chance to indicate your preferences when you RSVP.

Ceremony: We say "Ja", "I do" and finish it off with a kiss!
Cocktail hour: Enjoy some drinks and snacks
Reception: Eat, drink and dance your butts off!

Semi formal. Think sun dresses and dress pants and shirts, but leave your tall heels and jackets at home.

Say goodbye to your new family and friends over brunch.
