Wedding in December

Hi Sonia, congratulations on your engagement and welcome to WeddingWire.

In terms of how expensive weddings can be, to be honest that is all up to you and what you want. I'm not familiar with marriage customs from Nigeria but if you let us know what you had in mind, as well as a budget, we would be happy to make some suggestions. I personally live in Toronto and am familiar with the Greater Toronto Area, including Mississauga. I've seen weddings for 50 people here cost anywhere between $1000 - $30000. It's all how you prioritize.

Hi Sonia,
It depends what you are looking for.. How many guests are you thinking? Will you be married in a church, outside? How many guests are you hoping attend?
Depending on all of these things I am sure there are many options to help you have a beautiful wedding at lower costs.

Thanks for response, I live in Mississauga, looking to do the wedding around the vicinity, in Guelph, Etobicoke, North York. I am looking a small nice wedding, reception of about 50.

Hi Sonia!
I’m sorry covid is getting in the way of your original plans. Weddings here can be expensive but there are lots of ways you can save money. Having your wedding in December is good because venues have off-season pricing in the winter. You could find a venue with room for you to have both your ceremony and reception so you’re not paying for two places. I’ve seen where they have the tables on one side and on the other has the chairs set up for the ceremony, then they move the chairs back to the table and the open space becomes the dance floor later.
I’m not sure where in Ontario you want to get married, but if you’re outside of Toronto, you’ll save quite a bit of money without everything really. Are you planning on a larger wedding or would you have a small wedding/elopement now and have a big wedding in Nigeria later?
