Drew & Valerie

A note from us
We can't wait to celebrate with you.
More details to follow
The bride
Valerie
Valerie works in sales on the logistics side of the airline industry, so her days are spent talking about aircraft, routes and how to get things where they need to go.
Off the clock she is most often found outside with her Sheltie, or with a baby on her hip that belongs to somebody else.
The groom
Drew
Drew flies the Boeing 787. He is calm in the way pilots tend to be, and he is the kind of person who will sit inside a jet engine for a photo.
Give him a slice of pizza in a piazza at night, or a toddler to hold, and he is equally happy.
They share a love of flight, of aircraft, and of the places they take you.

Moments
Family, friends, and a long table.
Le Mount Stephen sits in Montreal's Golden Square Mile, inside the mansion George Stephen built between 1881 and 1883. Stephen was the first president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and he asked the architect William Tutin Thomas for a house to match: grey Montreal limestone outside, and rooms panelled in mahogany, walnut and oak, with stained glass from London and fireplaces of Mexican onyx.
From 1927 the house was home to the Mount Stephen Club, one of the city's most private addresses for more than eighty years. It was named a National Historic Site of Canada in 1971 and reopened as a hotel in 2017, its old rooms restored and a new glass tower rising behind them.
