Planning Your Wedding in Brampton? Here's What You Need to Know

There's a lot that goes into planning a wedding in Brampton, and it's easy to get overwhelmed. Put an end to that feeling with this simple list of things that you need to know about when planning your big day!

The Fun Part of Planning a Wedding in Brampton

There's so much fun stuff about planning a wedding - like buying your dress, getting the wedding party together with your closest family and friends, picking the favors and decor, and of course a breathtaking wedding venue. Top notch Wedding DJ's and videographers are also local - like Elite Entertainment (DJ) and Jonathan Productions (video).  Choose one that's right for you by meeting with a short list you find online first.  The most popular ones will be booked really far ahead of time, so it's a good idea to get on this as soon as you've confirmed the date for the venues.

This venue offers a range of banquet halls to suit your wedding party size. Speranza Restaurant and Banquet Hall is also a top choice and both offer a great menu selection.

Think Wedding Reception Decor

Then you can relax a bit. Things like the selection of decorations, favors, and gifts can be done gradually over the next few months. And don't forget that you can save yourself a lot of time and hassle by purchasing many of the supplies for your wedding online. In Casa Gifts ships daily to Brampton and carries a larger selection of favors, gifts, wedding supplies and decorations than any local store. It's even totally Canadian with most items shipping from Canada!

The Marriage License for Your Wedding In Brampton

Everyone who gets married in Brampton needs a marriage license. You can't get this after your wedding, so be sure to take care of this beforehand. You can obtain your marriage license up to 90 days before the date of your ceremony - the application forms must be completed by both yourself and your spouse-to-be. You'll have to head for the City Clerk’s Office at Brampton City Hall to get your license. Technically, only one of you needs to attend in person, although they recommend that both you and your future spouse go together. You can contact the City Clerk's office for full details at 905-874-2101.

Other Wedding Planning Details (Liquor Licence, Travel Documents)

Depending on where you'll be hosting your reception, you may need to get a liquor license in order to legally serve alcoholic beverages to your wedding guests. There are several different types of permits available - the Special Occasion Permit is the one that usually applies to one-time events such as wedding receptions. You can save time by taking care of this when you apply for your marriage license. The completed application forms for your liquor license must be sent to the City Clerk's office at City Hall. Be sure to take care of this at least 30 days ahead of the date of your reception. Again, full details can be obtained by calling the City Clerk's office directly at 905-874-2101. Of course, you're going to honeymoon so if you're traveling out of country, ensure your passports are up to date in ready. If you're having a destination wedding, make sure the entire group is ready so no one misses out!
