Nic and Emma

Emma Suzanne Henry, born in Brantford Ontario, and Nicolas Robin Durish, born in Toronto Ontario, met on their first day of their Undergraduate Degrees at the University of Guelph. After months of close friendship, they started dating in November of 2012 and proceeded to finish their degrees, plant over 800,000 trees in Northern Ontario, hike the West-Coast trail, build a tiny-home in a school bus and travel in it across Canada, work as ski-bums on Vancouver Island, buy a home, and parent the best 5 chickens and dog a couple could ask for.

Your Stay In Belleville


Transportation & Parking

To get to the event grounds, we've left details below on a parking lot that we've reserved down the street as well as taxi contact details. To get home at the end of the night, we'll have a shuttle van available and as many taxi's as we can wrangle to shuttle people back to their beds. If you drove to the event, feel free to leave your car overnight, and return for it the next day :)

Parking

We've reserved parking spaces at the Bayside Oral Surgery Centre, just up the road on the corner of Bridge & Chatham. These spaces need to be vacated by Sunday at 2:00pm, so please be sure to return for your car before then. If spaces fill up, there is lots of street parking on adjacent streets, and a number of businesses on Dundas that are a short walk away. Please note parking on the east side of Bleecker, and on Bridge street is not permitted.

Food & Drink


We’ll be hosting a picnic-style dinner featuring a multitude of dishes from two local caterers, as well as some salads and deserts made by some of our close family and friends! There will be a variety of dishes that suit everyones tastes and diets.

Guapo's Cantina

Servin’ up fresh, scratch made TexMex streetfood. Guapo’s Cantina will be catering an awesome taco bar featuring 3 different types of tacos: Pork Carnitas, Chipotle Chicken and Sweet Potato with a side of Roasted Corn Salad.

Idle Wild

Idle Wild cooks up a variety of fusion cuisine, from Asian, Filipino to classic Canadian dishes. They will be serving Chicken Yakitori (charcoal grilled skewers), Pulled Pork Sliders, Vegetarian Soba Noodles with a side of Cucumber Sambal Salad and Classic Potato Salad.

Beverages

During our cocktail hour, with dinner and throughout the night we will have a bar with beer, wine and highballs available. For beer, we'll be serving an assortment of craft beers as well as a couple of kegs from the Mackinnon Brothers, and our wines will be brought in from Sandbanks Winery. Don’t worry, it is indeed an open bar ;)

Music


Jam Session

Music is better when shared! There are a lot of musical folks in attendance who we'd love to hear, which is why after we finish with toasts, we're having a good ol' fashion Jam Session. We'll be saving a number of our favourite sing-a-longs for the end, so don't lose your voices too early ;) There will be a sign-up sheet at the event so please don't hesitate to bring a musical instrument and play us a song - either solo or with a group, your own words or a cover, serious or silly!

Long Range Hustle

The evening will conclude with songs and dance led by Long Range Hustle. A mix of high school and summer camp counsellor tenures brought the core of this southern Ontario five-piece together - Paul Brogee, Mike Brogee (Nic’s cousins!), Jay Foster, AJ Fisico and Ryan Pritchard. We can’t wait to fill the backyard up with the infectious energy, driving rhythms, gorgeous melodies and down-right dance-tastic music that LRH brings.
