The Starkos
You're invited to join Kennedy and Zachary in celebration of their wedding this August overlooking the ocean in sunny Tsawwassen, BC.
Celebrate with us
We suggest arriving on Friday, August fourteenth and departing Sunday, August sixteenth.
Alternatively, there's a Delta Hotel one town over, ~15min drive away.
If you're flying, land at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) if you can. You don’t need a rental car, but getting to Tsawwassen is easiest by car or rideshare; transit can be cumbersome.
Where to be, and when: here’s your weekend schedule.
Welcome Drinks
Friday at 7:30pm, Tsawwassen
We'd love to welcome you for a casual pre-wedding drink if you're in town Friday night. No agenda, just an easy hello before the big day. If you can’t make it, no worries at all — we’ll see you tomorrow.
Arrival and Ceremony
Saturday at 3pm, 1161 Pacific Drive, Delta
Join us as we exchange vows. We kindly ask for an unplugged ceremony, so please keep phones away until afterwards.
Cocktail Hour
Saturday at 4pm
Settle into cocktail hour overlooking the ocean. Sip our favourite cocktails, savour select canapés, and let the music carry the celebration into the evening.
Dinner
Saturday at 6pm
After you grab a last cocktail hour drink, head down the hill to the dinner table in the garden. Take a look for your name tag to help locate your seat.
First Dance + Dancing
Saturday at 8pm
Gather for Kennedy and Zachary’s first dance, then join them on the dance floor as the celebration continues into the night. This is a dancing-forward wedding, so please prepare accordingly!
Coffee
Sunday at 10am, 1161 Pacific Drive, Delta
It's the first day of the rest of our lives! On your way out of town or back to Vancouver, stop by once again for coffee, some pastries, and goodbyes.
You have questions and we have answers.
When is the RSVP deadline?
Please let us know if you'll be joining us by completing the RSVP on this website by June 15th so we can finalize plans and celebrate properly with you.
Can I bring a plus one or my kids?
We’re looking forward to celebrating with our invited guests. To help us keep the day intimate, we kindly ask that only those named on the invitation attend.
Do you have a registry?
While your presence is gift enough, we have created a registry of goods and experiences to guide those who'd like to give something.
What will the weather be like?
Welcome to beautiful British Columbia, all of you out-of-towners! Tsawwassen is famously sunny (it’s literally the town motto — we get 10 extra days of sun vs Vancouver every year). Expect daytime temperatures around 20–25°C, with cooler evenings by the water. A light layer is always a good idea. Rain? Never heard of it! (We will not speak of rain.)
Is the wedding outdoors?
Weather permitting, the celebration will be entirely outdoors. And the weather will, of course, cooperate. Expect not to have access to the Starko family home for the duration of the evening. We'll have a place for you to hang your coat.
What is the dress code?
The dress code is black tie optional. When in doubt, err on the side of elegance. Long dresses or suit and tie will feel right at home.
What kind of shoes should I wear?
You’ll be on grass for part of the evening, and you’ll be on your feet all day. Choose something you can comfortably stand (and dance!) in. Block heels are your best bet for the ladies, and dress shoes will be fine for the men.
Where should I park?
Street parking is available, but rideshare or a taxi is easiest. The venue is about a five-minute drive from the hotel.
IS the ceremony & reception accessible?
The venue isn’t fully wheelchair accessible, and you should expect stairs and grass. If you have accessibility needs, please reach out and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Can I take photos on my phone?
We’d love for you to take photos and capture memories throughout the day. We kindly ask that phones and cameras are put away during the ceremony.
