Wedding Digest

A wedding is a sequence of welcomes.

Beautiful celebrations. Thoughtful choices. A monthly magazine for couples planning a wedding with character. This month: 54 planning notes for Toronto, in 7 chapters.

From the editors

Most wedding advice starts with how the day should look. This issue starts with how it should feel for the people you invite, and follows that question through a Toronto wedding in the order your guests will live it.

Seven chapters, each handing you to the next the way a good day does. In The Plan, two charts from the City of Toronto’s marriage-licence records show when the city actually marries.

Every story is labelled for what it is: a planning note from the desk, not reporting on a particular couple, venue or price.

The Roomp.08Casa Loma Glass Pavilion & Conservatory

The venue question behind the venue question

Ask what the space makes simple, difficult or unexpectedly expensive. Every historic or landmark venue carries a dual reality: stunning architectural romance paired with strict logistical constraints.
