Our Wedding

From Coastline to Summit: Our Story

Christy and Michael met while studying at the University of Limerick School of Medicine. Christy had moved from Toronto, Canada, and Michael was from the area. For the first three years, they were friendly acquaintances, crossing paths often, exchanging smiles, and quietly admiring each other from a distance. Then, in a chance encounter at a bar called The White&nbsp;House&nbsp;just two months before medical school ended, everything changed. What started as a simple conversation turned into something much more. Time flew, sparks flew, and they’ve been together ever since. After graduating, they navigated the ups and downs of long distance, supporting each other across countries and time zones until they could finally build a life in the same place. On September 17, 2024, Michael proposed to Christy on Toronto Island, with the city skyline as the backdrop, making for a very beautiful memory in Christy’s hometown. Now, they’re building a life together in Salt Lake City, Utah, soaking up mountain views and sunshine, and excited for all that’s to come.

Wedding Party

We’ve put together a few hotel recommendations for your consideration including convenient spots closer to our venue and downtown Toronto favourites perfect for sightseeing.

For our out-of-town guests, we highly encourage you to stay in the lively heart of downtown Toronto, where great food, buzzing nightlife, and iconic attractions are just steps away! To make planning easy, we’ve secured a preferred rate at the&nbsp;Chelsea Hotel, Toronto.&nbsp;This is the&nbsp;only&nbsp;downtown Toronto hotel&nbsp;from which we will be offering a&nbsp;courtesy shuttle to and from our wedding venue in King City, so that you may kick back, celebrate, and let someone else do the driving while you enjoy every magical moment (and the open bar 😉)! The courtesy rate is available for individual reservations made through the booking link below or by calling the hotel’s reservations department and identifying yourself as part of the&nbsp;Bou Fadel – McElligott room block. Each guest may reserve up to&nbsp;two rooms, with&nbsp;double occupancy&nbsp;per room included in the rate.&nbsp;Children up to 17 may stay with their parent(s) at no extra cost.&nbsp;Additional adults per room are welcome for a surcharge of&nbsp;$30 per night. A maximum of&nbsp;four guests per room&nbsp;is allowed. All rates are in Canadian dollars and subject to applicable taxes, levies, and fees. The preferred rate is available&nbsp;from July 13th to July 22nd, 2026.&nbsp; The cutoff date for room bookings at this rate is&nbsp;30 days prior to arrival. However, as this&nbsp;special rate is subject to hotel availability&nbsp;and Toronto’s summer season fills up quickly,&nbsp;we&nbsp;encourage you to secure your reservation as soon as possible. If your plans change, cancellations made up to 48 hours before arrival (by 4:00 PM EST) are fully refundable. Cancellations within 48 hours will result in a charge equal to one night’s stay plus applicable taxes.
