Planning your wedding in Toronto
Toronto is Canada's biggest wedding market, with hotel ballrooms, Distillery District lofts, waterfront venues, and more vendor depth than anywhere else in the country.
- Hotel ballrooms
- Industrial lofts and galleries
- Waterfront and island venues
- Golf and country clubs
- Banquet halls
Local context
Toronto couples have the deepest vendor pool in Canada, but the calendar is competitive: summer and early-fall Saturdays at popular venues book 12 to 18 months out. Most guests arrive through Pearson or Billy Bishop, and downtown hotel blocks make transport simple.

Open toolToronto wedding FAQ
The questions couples planning a Toronto wedding ask us most often.
When should I start planning a Toronto wedding?
Fourteen to eighteen months ahead for a summer or September Saturday at a sought-after venue. Weekday and winter dates are far easier, and many venues discount them. Top photographers and planners book on the same timeline as venues.
How much does a Toronto wedding venue cost?
Rough guide: downtown hotel and event-venue packages commonly run $150 to $275 per plate, while raw spaces like lofts and galleries rent for $5,000 to $15,000 before catering. Banquet halls in Etobicoke, Scarborough, and Vaughan usually come in lower per plate.
Do we need a permit for ceremony photos in Toronto parks?
Yes for many popular spots. City of Toronto parks like High Park and the music garden require a wedding photo or ceremony permit, and the Toronto Islands have their own booking process. Venues with grounds skip the paperwork entirely.
