Toronto Area 2014/2015 Brides

Looks like there are a bunch of girls from Calgary. Any other Toronto/GTA brides out there? It'd be great to exchange ideas on local agents, places for decorations (shared shipping?!), AHRs, etc.

Hi tygrrlily!

 

My name is Pam and I'm getting married in November 2014! In Montego Bay!

 

Where are you getting married?

 

I live in Brampton but I'm originally from Markham....

Toronto here. Well actually Mississauga but I work in Toronto. We're working at planning a vow renewal for Playa del Carmen for October 2015. Gran Porto Real is still number one choice, but Grand Sunset Princess is right there too. I also did the site webinar last month for Playacar Palace and was impressed with what I heard from the Rep.

 

I definitely can recommend Marlin Travel on Bay street as an agent. They were super to work with!  We had our at home reception in Burlington since that's where we lived at the time, in a hotel overlooking the lake. The room had floor to ceiling windows so when it got dark we had the lights out over the lake, plus from the Skyway bridge. It was really pretty. We just had a small group - only 30 - but people still talk about it. We had a great night! I'm very lucky that my step-son lives in the US so I order things and have them sent to his address, then just pick them up when we go down to see our grandkids. A heck of a lot cheaper and the shipping rates are unreal compared to canada!!

 

I know a few good websites for decorations if anyone is interested, depending on what you're looking for. Right off the bat I would recommend www.etsy.com for all kinds of things.

 

Happly planning ladies!

Toronto Bride here, getting married in Cuba 3 weeks today. I'm a mature bride to be, (60) but have had lots of fun getting ready for my big day.  This site has been very helpful with tips etc.

I'm also a Toronto bride! Having my civil ceremony in Toronto in July 2015 and planning to leave a few days later for a destination wedding in the Mayan Riviera, Mexico.

So excited but so much to do! I haven't even picked a resort yet!

I'm a Toronto bride too!! Getting married October 2014 in Punta Cana, DR. Doing the Legal before we leave, not paying that much in the DR. Expecting around 60-70 pple to attend our wedding that week. So much to do still and need to get started!!

Oh I love that you phrased it that way! Mature! I like that lol  I guess that's what I am too lol I'm 56 in just a couple of weeks and second time arounder... (is that a word?) We have 7 grandkids and I have 2 kids and 2 step kids but really all 4 are mine. Getting married again wasn't in the cards for us until health issues sort of made the decision for us, and now we're looking at a vow renewal for the same reason. I'm still trying to finish the research for the "where", and thankfully have time yet before I have to decide. And another hospital stay to get through too. But then hopefully it will all come together!

 

3 weeks is so close! And yes this site is fabulous for ideas, and tips and information. I'm glad it was helpful for you! Be sure to post pictures when you get back! Good luck and congratulations!

I'm a Toronto bride too!  April 2015 at the Royalton Punta Cana.  I've just started planning.  Does anyone know if you can have a symbolic ceremony in the Dominican and then have the legal ceremony in Canada when you return?  Or do you have to be legally married before you go to the Dominican for the symbolic ceremony?

[tygrrlily]

Yay so many Toronto ladies! I'm hoping to get married at the Beach Palace, but we're going through some booking issues but will hopefully have it resolved this week!
 

@@acw271011 - I LOVE etsy - I have spent so many hours on it browsing everything!

 

@@LiannaBanana - I'm not sure if Dominican is like Mexico, but in Mexico it seems like you can do either.
