Suggestions on booking a park/photography location for your Wedding Day
# Call the department of Parks and Recreation of the City in which the park is located. For instance, if you chose to book Sunny Side Pavilion located in the City of Toronto, you need to phone the City of Toronto Parks and Recreation department. 416-392-8188
# In some cases, you must be a resident of the city in which the park is located in order to book the park. If you do not reside in the city in which the park is located, your friend or relative who lives there can book it for you.
# You should book as soon as possible since most parks become booked up fairly quickly and well ahead of time.
# Prices for booking parks vary depending on the park and the city it's in;
they range from $40 for 2hrs and up to $100 per hour. Usually, it costs $100 for 2 hrs., which is exactly what's needed for photography and video on the Wedding Day.
# Remember to bring your park permit(s) on the Wedding Day. You might not be allowed in without one.
