    Hi everyone,

    My fiancé and I are looking for a nice venue for an outdoor wedding in Mississauga or Toronto area.  We're thinking about either a park or somewhere by a lake.  Any suggestions?

    I called the city of Mississauga and they recommended the following places: Karyia Parkm Richard's Memorial and Rhododendron parks.  My fiancé likes the idea of doing a wedding by the cliffs of Rattlesnake Point, but we're not sure it there will be a problem of accessibility (my grandfather can't walk very far).  Anyone been to a wedding at these locations?  What did you think?

     PS We're organizing remotely - we currently live in California.  My parents have been doing some looking around, but I just thought I'd get some suggestions here as well.

     Thank you!!

    What month are you looking to get married in?

    There's a number of wineries in the area where you could have an outdoor ceremony and maybe a tented reception? Do you want the whole thing outdoors or just the ceremony?

    Not a bad idea.  We were thinking of getting married in Aug - in a very small ceremony.  We were running in trouble finding an outdoor location that allows alcohol to be served.  This is a good suggestion!

    Have you thought about getting a wedding planner to make it easier on yourselves since you're planning from so far away?

    Maybe this will help: http://www.weddingwhereyouwant.com/locations.htm

    I've not been to any of the locations you mentioned above, but do remember finding a number of great smaller/outdoor venues in the area when I was looking at the beginning of the year.

    Check out the Canadian Bride websites, they usually list venues, here's the Frugal Bride list:

    If you're looking for a place that allows alcohol, a B&B or restarurant wit patio might be abetter option than a public park. There are also a few conservation areas that regularly hold weddings (Black Creek & Kortright) and the McMichael gallery has a great outdoor space!
