As you may or may not know, you can obtain your marriage licence from any municipality within Ontario, even if you're getting married in a different one.
I realize it's a minor cost in the world of weddings but, since I couldn't find a list comparing marriage licence fees by municipality, I looked at areas (mostly) close to Toronto and made a chart. I share it with you, in case you travel frequently and could use a comparison. Before you decide on a location, double check the fees because they can obviously change!
