Wedding Party

The family and friends who have cheered us on, kept us grounded, and will be standing beside us on the big day.


Maya Ikuta – Maid of Honor

Maya Ikuta

Maid of Honor

Basically family since birth—met before they were old enough to understand what a best friend even meant, and somehow have been figuring it out together ever since.

Megan Bach – Bridesmaid

Megan Bach

Bridesmaid

Professional hype woman, lifelong bestie, and certified dance floor MVP. She’s seen every awkward phase and somehow stuck around anyway.

Tori Grant – Bridesmaid

Tori Grant

Bridesmaid

Mastermind of every escape room and somehow still patient enough to deal with Carly. They grew up together and never really grew apart.

Steph Mah – Bridesmaid

Steph Mah

Bridesmaid

The calm in every storm, the one who always seems to know exactly what to say - and who will absolutely surprise everyone on the dance floor.

Christina Nguyen – Bridesmaid

Christina Nguyen

Bridesmaid

The true wildcard and unofficial photographer of the group—half the time she’s in the middle of the action, and the other half she’s capturing it. If anyone goes missing at the reception, don’t worry… we’ll just follow the trail of photos and memories she’s already made.

Josie Paarsmarkt – Bridesmaid

Josie Paarsmarkt

Bridesmaid

Always the first to say yes to some Type 2 fun—Carly’s go-to adventure buddy who cheers her on and patiently waits when she inevitably falls behind on the group ride.

Hayley Sherriff – Bridesmaid

Hayley Sherriff

Bridesmaid

The kindest soul with a heart of gold, who will absolutely start crying before the ceremony even begins. Please do not make eye contact.

Jenna Sie – Bridesmaid

Jenna Sie

Bridesmaid

The voice of reason everyone trusts—and the one who thoughtfully read through the entire wedding weekend itinerary, just to make sure we’re all taken care of.

Mikael Astejada – Best Man

Mikael Astejada

Best Man

If you need someone to agree to a wildly impractical weekend trip across the globe at a moment's notice, Mikael is your guy.

Brandon Peterson – Groomsman

Brandon Peterson

Groomsman

Always wants to party. Treats the wedding open bar less like an amenity and more like a personal endurance challenge.

Miguel Angel Jimenez Santos – Groomsman

Miguel Angel Jimenez Santos

Groomsman

The ultimate 'yes man.' Will agree to absolutely any terrible idea Eugene pitches before he even finishes the sentence.

Hugh Otsuka – Groomsman

Hugh Otsuka

Groomsman

Older brother and personal hotline for whenever Eugene works on a car and somehow ends up with three 'extra' parts that definitely belonged somewhere important.

Questions & Answers

A few details to make planning your trip to Canmore easier.


When and where is the wedding?

Our ceremony and reception will both take place at The Vista at Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park. Please see the itinerary in the Schedule section of this site.

What is the dress code?

Dress code is semi-formal. Think cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, or a dress shirt with dress pants and a jacket. Please keep the mountain setting in mind and choose footwear you’ll be comfortable in all evening.

Can I bring a plus-one?

If your invitation or e-invite includes a guest by name or mentions a plus-one, then absolutely. Otherwise, we’re keeping numbers limited and won’t be able to accommodate additional guests.

How should I RSVP?

Please use the Find Your RSVP link on this website or scan the QR code on your invitation to RSVP. Please let us know whether you can join us, share your meal choices and any dietary restrictions.

When is the RSVP deadline?

We kindly ask that you RSVP by August 1, 2026 so we can confirm numbers with the venue and our caterer. Any late responses will not be accomodated.

Where should I stay?

We’ve put together a few discounted accommodation options for our guests, and you can find all the details and booking codes in the Travel section of this site. That said, please know you’re welcome to stay wherever works best for you—these options are simply offered for convenience. As lodging in the area can be limited, you may also wish to explore nearby Airbnb and VRBO rentals.

Do I need a Kananaskis Conservation Pass to park at the venue?

If you’re planning to park at The Vista venue, you’ll need a Kananaskis Conservation Pass (just $15 for a day pass per vehicle). Grab it online ahead of time by registering your license plate to keep things smooth — it’s required for parking in the area.

What will the weather be like?

Mountain weather can be a little unpredictable, with cool evenings and the chance of changing conditions. Since our ceremony is planned to be outdoors, we suggest bringing a light layer or jacket to stay comfortable. In mid-September, Canmore’s average temperatures are around 13°C during the day and 4°C at night.

Can we take photos during the ceremony?

We’ve hired some very talented photographers, so we promise this moment is in good hands. Please keep phones and cameras tucked away during the ceremony, and enjoy being fully present with us. Once the ceremony is over, feel free to snap away!
