Canada boasts some of the top weddings destinations on the planet. World-class metropolitan areas such as Toronto and Vancouver offer almost unprecedented cultural diversity, variety, and wedding opportunities. In addition, nearby areas such as Whistler offer an ideal setting for snowy weddings, and winter weddings can be held comfortably aboard larger vessels on the Pacific Northwest coastline.
Below is a list of three very distinct Canadian wedding destinations that have the ability to transform almost any wedding ceremony into a truly memorable event:
· The City of Toronto
In addition to being the fourth largest city in North America, Toronto has an extensive mass transit system that connects multiple neighborhoods including Polish Town, Little India, Greek Town, and multiple China Towns. The city offers numerous traditional wedding venues as well as unparalleled religious and cultural diversity. Couples can easily find ways to stay true to family culture and religious values while enjoying globally recognized art, dining, and accommodations. Toronto is a winter wedding destination that offers a truly unique urban adventure. The chilly winter conditions are usually less of an issue due to clean underground sidewalks and multiple indoor venues with spectacular views of the city skyline or Lake Huron.
· Whistler, British Columbia
Whistler is located in the scenic mountains outside of Vancouver. Whistler offers world-class skiing, resorts that specialize in winter weddings, and a prime location. Like Toronto, Vancouver is a metropolitan area rich in cultural and religious diversity. Vancouver has been nicknamed “the city of glass” due to its many impressive glass skyscrapers. Only a short drive away from a phenomenal metropolitan area, Whistler has some of the best skiing and winter lodging on the planet for snowy weddings.
· Maritime Weddings on the Northwest Coast
Some couples have an undying love for the ocean. The Northwest Coast of Canada can offer fantastic winter maritime weddings. Instead of embarking on an urban or Mountain adventure, couples can be married aboard private cruises that offer fine dining, top accommodations, and unparalleled scenery. Unlike many parts of the East Coast or far North, the Northwest Pacific typically does not freeze. There are ample opportunities to comfortably view marine life, natural wonders, and enjoy the serenity of the sea.
What to Look for in Destination Weddings
There are a number of considerations that should be taken into account before planning a destination wedding. A few primary considerations are listed below:
- Is the destination easily accessible for guests and others associated with the wedding?
- Does the destination offer venues that meet religious and cultural needs?
- Does the destination offer a chance for couples to afford the perfect wedding?
