Plan Your Wedding

Once you have your marriage licence, you can get married anywhere you like, as long as you have permission from the owner/tenants. Examples of where you can get married, include, but are not limited to your home or a friend’s home, a restaurant, a banquet hall, a place of worship, a municipal park, or several City of Toronto facilities.
