Before we start, if you’re reading this article, you’re probably about to tie the knot. So, congratulations are in order! Now comes the exciting yet slightly time-consuming part of researching venues, themes, the dress, bridesmaids, guest lists, DJs (and the list goes on!). Canada offers so many amazing and unique spots to celebrate your big day; whether you’re looking for a traditional wedding in a historical venue or a more adventurous option, the country has something for everyone.
Getting married in a church is considerably less popular than you imagine. Less than 20% of people get married in a formal religious setting. As a result, many couples are looking toward more alternative locations when choosing a wedding venue. If you’re looking for a similar traditional appeal for your wedding venue but don’t want to get married in a church, bed and breakfast might be the perfect option for you and your partner. You’ll have plenty of room for live wedding music, a place for you and your guests to stay, and a comfortable rustic atmosphere for both the ceremony and the reception.
Many beds and breakfast venues are set up with weddings in mind and offer plenty of options for making your wedding unique and unforgettable. They can typically accommodate both the ceremony and the reception in indoor and outdoor settings. You might be surprised by how many people a bed and breakfast venue can accommodate for weddings. You might also be surprised at the convenience of the food and accommodation at these venues.
If you’re looking at bed and breakfast places for your wedding day, you’ll need to book well in advance. Many of the more popular places are fully booked more than eight months in advance due to the Covid pandemic and resulting lockdowns. If you haven’t decided on what type of wedding venue will work best for you and your partner, you might want to consider these benefits of hosting your wedding at bed and breakfast.
Nothing says I love you more than getting married and entering into a lifelong commitment with your partner. The most important part of the ceremony is the vows you make as a couple. It’s become quite commonplace to create and write your vows, rather than repeating the traditional church or magistrate lines that people have said for hundreds of years.
However, for many couples, this is a daunting and challenging task. What do you include? Should they be funny? Serious? Do they need to be romantic? What stories should we have, if any? There are a lot of questions that you both need to answer to get exactly what you both want out of your handwritten vows. It’s not as simple as just right something cutesy and makes a few silly promises, and then you’re done.
Writing memorable vows can be broken down into three phases: Planning, writing and editing, and practising reciting them. Without these three key stages, your vows will be lacklustre and more than likely be forgotten by the wayside.
With summer and wedding season fast approaching, many couples will be gearing up for their walk down the aisle.
For those amid wedding planning, besides choosing the most beautiful wedding dress, a pivotal decision to make is nailing down the location of their dream wedding. Most couples spend $11,046 on their wedding venue – almost half of the average $30,717 price tag of a wedding in Canada.
To choose the perfect wedding venue in Toronto, couples need to consider their budget, the venue’s amenities, and their wedding theme. In some cases, finding the ideal wedding venue can take a long time: sometimes over a year. And while the current pandemic has restricted weddings in some regards, many of these wedding venues in Toronto are still open for viewings and bookings – with all the bells and whistles attached.
