Where to get Ready

It would be good to see what's around the venue and have that space for getting ready with the wedding party. An outdoor space that is good to have everyone waiting and you two surprise them would be different and able to take pictures too.

I would look into air b&bs that would have space for everyone. That way people would have privacy but can also mingle together, and the two of you can be kept apart.

Hi Hank

Thank you for the suggestion I will reach out to them and see if they are able to accommodate our request. I know they have an upstairs hall that we can probably have sectioned off to avoid either of us seeing each other.

Hey Darren, congrats on your upcoming nuptials. Can Cederbrae host your brunch in the same room as the reception, or at least an adjacent cocktail room? If I remember correctly, Cederbrae's club house is like a mansion type of building so there should be more than enough rooms for your whole party to do their thing. Just have everyone show up in civilian clothes, have brunch, and then change in separate rooms (one for your party and one for his).

Btw, I would avoid AirBNBs from now on because the company just released a policy on no parties allowed at any of their listed properties.

View quoted message That sounds like a great idea! Plus where Cedarbrae is, there should be quite a few options for you in Scarborough or Markham. We’re doing the same thing with the AirBnB to save our photographer and stylist the run-around, but it had to be close enough so we can stuff ourselves in the cars in our dresses. It would be great if you could nab a whole house as you have separate levels and a nice yard to relax/have prep pictures in.

Hi Genevieve

We want to be able to get ready all at the same location and we're keeping the element of surprise at the altar. I've been considering options of a hotel or an AirBNB just so that we have more room and our photographer has a much easier job. With our wedding being 3pm I figured an early rise and breakfast can be a great kickstart to the day. Our ceremony is Cedarbrae Golf Club.

Hi Darren!
Are you looking for a space where you can get ready to after brunch all together or with separate rooms for both of you? (Not sure if you’re doing a first look/surprise at the altar). If you rented an airBNB you could all get ready in the same house and not have to run up and down hotel halls. Whereabouts are you getting married?
