Choosing the ideal location is the first step in organizing the wedding of your dreams. I recognize that there are a lot of places to pick from, which can make the decision difficult. That is just one of the explanations for why I created this helpful resource highlighting the top wedding locations in the Durham Region.


The Greater Toronto Area's top sights and experiences may all be found at one of these Durham Region wedding locations. Even I, a Durham Region wedding photographer, found it challenging to compile such a short list. You can be sure that these locations will offer you and your fiance various attractive photo options to highlight the celebration of your special day.


Although there are many wedding venues in Durham Region, this guide will be an excellent place to start when deciding where you want to get married.

The Carvers Cottage

This family-run Pickering wedding venue is situated in Pickering, Ontario, and constructed entirely from scratch. The area was once forested, but owners Sandra and Luke finally opted to clear off a sizable portion of the trees to build what is there now. The wedding venue has lots of, and I mean lots of, photo opportunities, and it has a lovely rustic appeal!


Only wedding ceremonies may be held at The Carvers Cottage, but the setting is well worth it.
