Living in the Greater Toronto Area is a dream come true for anyone who loves to entertain. From dinner parties at the house to conventions at a Toronto bed & breakfast, it's easy to arrange your own events. Weddings, however, take a little bit more work. If you're getting married soon after your move to Oshawa you'll be pleased to know that Oshawa, Ontario is a perfect city to host your dream wedding. You will find a variety of wedding businesses, restaurants and caterers, and event planners anxious to help you plan and organize. Some of them are listed here, along with some advice on choosing the right one for you.
Venues
Choosing the venue sets the tone for the entire wedding so be sure to pick somewhere that both looks appropriate with your theme and has enough space to accommodate all you guests. It's not necessary to have your venue actually in Oshawa, either, nearby towns are close enough to commute to, like Port Perry or Burlington. Wedding reception locations that make for memorable weddings include the beautifully manicured Nestleton Waters Inn in Oshawa, the Vinter's Celler historic winery in Whitby, and a cruise along Lake Scugug leaving from Port Perry.
Jewelry and Gowns
Most brides dream of the day they will be married from the time they're little girls. This is not because they want to listen to heartwarmingly drunk speeches by their estranged Uncle Jerry but because they want to wear flowing white gowns and sparkling diamonds and have their pictures taken by Brampton wedding photographers. Here are some places in and around Oshawa to make your wedding day sparkle: Graziella Fine Jewelry in the Whitby mall, the Bliss Bridal Boutique in Whitby, the House of Golden Aire Bridal salon in Oshawa, MK Tailoring in Oshawa, and the Around the World Boutique in Whitby.
Planning, Catering and Photography
Planning a wedding is a nerve-wracking experience, and cooking food for 200 people on top of that would definitely break the camel's back. This has created a need for things like wedding planning and wedding catering. Burlington and nearby towns have capable firms, as does Oshawa itself, and there are also photography firms waiting in the wings to document your perfect day for you. If you're looking for a little help, try: Moments That Shine planning in Whitby, Circle the Date planning in Oshawa, Amy's Photography in Oshawa, King's Court Catering in Oshawa, and Lau-Jen's Cake Creation in Oshawa.
Flowers, Decorations, and Music
Decorating for the big day means investing a lot of time and money into finding the right accents at the right prices. Often your wedding planner will handle this as well as the wedding rental. Mississauga isn't your only shops destination if you want to do it yourself, however. These locations are closer to or in Oshawa: Michaels Arts and Crafts in Oshawa, Classic Flowers in Oshawa, Best Music Services in Oshawa, Rhythm Dynamix Dance in Oshawa, Bliss Bridal Boutique in Whitby, Anderson Flower Shop in Whitby, and the Sugar Chalet wedding supplies shop in Oshawa.
