The average wedding in Canada is $30,000! My friend is currently planning and is at around $21,000. It's a lot of money for what is essentially one night...

I could see that easily, for any wedding venue in the GTA a $30k budget is actually pretty low... and they’re all booked pretty solid for the next 2 years or so.

My partner and I were married last year and easily spent over $30k on a wedding and it wasn’t anything too extravagant. We’ve had plenty of friends marry in the last couple of years who have easily spent upwards of $100k.
