When we first started dreaming and planning our wedding, one thing became very clear. We wanted to create something that felt less like a single moment or day and more like a shared experience, a full weekend where we could all be together in one place. That is why we have chosen to privatize L’Alpaga for the weekend, allowing us to stay, eat, relax, and celebrate side by side with the people we love most.

The hotel includes a mix of rooms, suites, and chalets, and we will be in touch closer to the date with your specific room details once final numbers are confirmed (we will handle all the bookings, don't worry!). If you have any accessibility or mobility needs, please let us know so we can plan thoughtfully with the hotel. And yes… pack your swimsuit, because the spa, pools, and hot tubs are very much part of the plan!

So many of you are traveling from far away to be with us, and we know that staying at L'Alpaga — a truly special, higher-end hotel — is a meaningful financial commitment. We're covering a significant portion of the accommodation costs so that everyone can stay together on the property, and we'd be so grateful for a little help making that possible.

In place of traditional wedding gifts (we truly cannot get a KitchenAid mixer back to Rwanda - and for those unfamiliar, just know it's a very heavy appliance that Americans are apparently obsessed with!), the greatest thing you could give us is helping make this shared weekend happen. Guests are warmly welcome to contribute whatever feels right for them. For reference, accommodation in Megève during this time typically runs around $500 USD per night — but please know that contributions of any amount, or none at all, are genuinely appreciated. Some will give more, some less, and some not at all. What matters most to us is that the people we love are there to celebrate with us.

Closer to the wedding, we’ll share more details about the easiest ways to contribute — we’re still working out the logistics to make this as smooth as possible for everyone.

Most importantly, we want to be very clear that we do not want cost to be a barrier for anyone. Your presence means more to us than anything, and we would love for everyone to come stay with us at L’Alpaga regardless of ability to contribute. If you have any questions or would prefer to discuss privately, please do not hesitate to reach out to Aly or Chris.
