WEDDING CEREMONIES OFFERED IN MANY LANGUAGES

The Toronto Wedding Chapel opens its arms to couples of all nationalities, faiths and beliefs. We respect cultural diversity and offer wedding ceremonies in many languages in addition to English. We have licensed, experienced Officiants that are available to perform wedding ceremonies in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Your ceremony should be a reflection of you as a couple and a big part of that is your cultural identity and mother tongue.

It’s not just international couples that enjoy our multilingual wedding ceremonies; Toronto is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world. Home to virtually all of the world's culture groups, there are more than 100 languages and dialects are spoken in Toronto. Although we can’t provide wedding ceremonies in all 100 languages and dialects yet, we’re working on it.

In addition to multilingual wedding ceremonies we can plan your entire wedding with great attention to respecting your cultural customs and incorporating them into your wedding celebrations. If you have friends and family in far off locations that won’t be able to attend we offer webcasting services – the next best thing to being there. Our fabulous photographer can also document the entire day – offsite and onsite - for you so that you will be able to share a photographic memory of your wedding day.

Contact the Toronto Wedding Chapel to find out more about our multilingual wedding ceremonies. We create wedding magic in any language.

Congratulations Daniela and John!

IMPORTANCE OF DÉCOR AT EVERY EVENT

Décor is not just a thoughtful colour scheme and carefully arranged flowers; it creates and sets the stage for any event. What would a play be without the sets and backdrops? It would be bland and boring with no visual interest. The same holds true for an event. The event is your play; and it needs the sets and backdrops to set the stage, create the atmosphere, and stimulate and energize the guests. Important elements of décor include:

• Colour Scheme
• Lighting
• Special Effects
• Flowers
• Aisle Runners
• Reception place cards, table number placards, menus
• Table Linens
• Table Décor
• Chair Coverings
• Centrepieces
• Signage
• Party Favours

The Toronto Wedding Chapel creative team designs magical experiences for you and your guests using a special blend of décor that stimulates the senses and creates nothing short of WOW! We set the stage and create the mood for all of your very important events; not just weddings. Our creative team has designed the décor for some of Toronto’s most memorable corporate, not-for-profit and personal events and we have the photos to prove it.

Contact us today to find out how we can turn your next event into the talk of the town.

WEDDINGS TAKE PLACE 7 DAYS A WEEK AT THE TORONTO WEDDING CHAPEL

Weekday weddings have become an industry trend thanks to their substantial savings over weekend weddings; but did you know according to Victorian superstition marriages should only take place during the week? Although Saturday is now the most popular day for weddings, it was considered unlucky in the past. Fridays were also considered unlucky, particularly Friday the 13th.

Popular venues may be booked 1 – 3 years in advance on weekends and the prices are higher. As well weekend weddings need to be planned to avoid:

• Major Civic holidays
• Graduation weekends
• The weekend before tax day

Did you know that Tuesdays are lucky days for marriages? In the Torah, Genesis, Chapter 1, it is written “it is good” twice on the third day of creation and many consider this a great omen for marriage.  
5 Great Reasons to Plan a Weekday Wedding:

• Substantial savings
• Greater choice of venues
• Greater availability of vendors
• Ideal for intimate, low key weddings
• An easy way to control the guest list

Weekday weddings have long been a European tradition that has finally caught on in North America. Contact the Toronto Wedding Chapel to find out about our weekday specials. The wedding of your dreams may now be within grasp.

Congratulations Anne and Jon!

5 TOP CELEBRITY WEDDING TRENDS

1. The Veil is Back: And celebrities Reese Witherspoon, Kate Middleton, Kate Moss, and Zara Phillips agree.
   
2. Gowns With Sleeves are in Vogue: Celebrity brides Lauren Bush, Kate Middleton, Katie Holmes, Nicole Kidman, and Ivanka Trump are living proof that a wedding gown with sleeves can be just as sexy as a strapless gown.
3. Choreographed First Dance: Blame this trend on the reality dancing shows. You’ll have to take some dance lessons and get your teacher to choreograph a number that you’ll realistically be able to perform.
   
4. 4-Legged Attendants: Many celebrities are crazy about their pets and make them part of the wedding party.  When Gwen Stefani married Gavin Rossdale she was escorted down the aisle by her sheepdog Winston who wore a rose covered collar and lead. Tori Spelling hired a fashion designer to create a wedding outfit for her pug Mimi Larue, the flower girl and ring bearer. Adam Sandler’s bulldogs Matzoball and Meatball were at his Malibu wedding. Meatball was dressed in a tux with a yarmulke on his head.
5. Destination Weddings: Celebrities love destination weddings. Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem got married in the Bahamas. Lauren Bush, niece of President George W. Bush, and David Lauren, son of fashion designer Ralph Lauren, got married on Ralph Lauren’s Colorado ranch which just happens to be larger than some countries. Shania Twain and Frédéric Thiébaud married in the Caribbean. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon got married in Eleuthera.

How many celebrity wedding trends will you incorporate into your wedding? Contact the Toronto Wedding Chapel for more information on the latest wedding trends and how we can make them a part of your wedding.
