Catherine Mills & Rebecca Acheson are Getting Married

Kelowna Ceremony and Celebration  Details

Date: Saturday, June 13th, 2026

Location: Okanagan Centre Hall, 11099 Maddock Ave, Lake Country, BC V4V 2J7

Location Notes: the location is a community centre in a very cute area about 25 minutes outside of Kelowna, or 15 minutes from the airport, or 10 minutes to the next closest town, Lake Country. The venue is accessible by wheelchair. We will be a short walk to the lake. We would encourage to bring your swimsuit and feel free to run off for a dip at your leisure!

Accomodation Notes: there are hotels in Lake Country (10 mins away), near the airport (15 mins away) and Kelowna (20-25 mins away). There are a very limited number of airbnbs within a 5-8 mins drive of the centre itself.

Transportation Notes: we will be looking in to coordinating with local taxi companies and designated driver companies to help everyone make it home safely. Please note, it is unlikely you will be staying within walking distance of the venue.

Vibe notes: this will be a relaxed and laid back affair with a few formalities. It will be wholesome, and very queer and trans friendly. It will also be friendly to differing energy levels – while we don’t have a nap room to offer, we are very happy for folks to rest as needed, and take time outs as they see fit. The venue is nestled in a lovely park adjacent to some great streets that make for great quiet wandering

More details to come: while we don’t have everything pinned down yet, we can tell you the following:

  • there will be dinner (a food truck?)
  • there will be drinks
  • there will be speeches
  • there will be time to mix and mingle and be merry
  • there will be suggestions for activities and some sort of loose optional schedule of things that you might enjoy getting up to before and after the wedding

The Okanagan is a beautfiul part of Canada, and we would strongly advise you make the most of your trip out here and see some of the surrounding areas. As we get closer to the time we will post more details here, as well as some ideas for things you may want to get up to.
