Frequently Asked Question: What locations can be used for a wedding ceremony?
As an officiant in Montreal, Quebec, I often get asked what kind of locations I can travel to for the purpose of a wedding. As a general rule, I always say that you have to first decide on the type of wedding you want with the number of people you want to attend. It is easier to fit on hundred people in a backyard than it is in a living room. If we look at the rules, weddings can be held anywhere where you have been granted permission to host your wedding. It could be at home, in a barn, in a reception hall, in a backyard or in a park. These are just some examples of places you can host your wedding. When planning your wedding and choosing your location you need to keep these things in mind.
Ensure that there are good acoustics. Wedding guests come because they want to be a part of the celebration and the joy. For this to happen, they need to see and hear you and the officiant when you speak.
Think of fire codes and safety. Sometimes couples want to have small weddings, so they choose very small locations, but there are certain rules and regulations that need to be followed. Make sure you and your guests will be as comfortable as possible.
Think of the distance. Some locations can be quite exciting but if there will be drinking involved, then there needs to be a safe way to get home or get to a hotel. Make sure to have your ceremony and celebration somewhere that is easily accessible to safe transportation.
Make sure you have the right to use the location. Some public parks and spaces are beautiful, but the city doesn’t want them being used for certain activities. Make sure you verify with the city, owners, landlords, tenants before choosing a location and have written permission to use it.
There are so many different choices for a wedding venue. Make sure to be creative, have an open mind and think of the ceremony you want. As an officiant in Montreal, Quebec, I love to officiate weddings in all different types of locations.
