Sandra & Nigel

Toronto City Hall · May 9, 2025

A small civil ceremony with family, portraits on Nathan Phillips Square, then rooftop drinks at The Broadview Hotel and a family dinner.

Sandra and Nigel were married on May 9, 2025, at Toronto City Hall, with a small group of family and friends and one very charming flower girl.

The ceremony room was bright and simple, with white orchids and a short, heartfelt service. We stayed close for the vows and the rings, then caught the hugs, the laughter and the signing.

Afterwards we stepped out into the sunshine on Nathan Phillips Square for portraits by the Toronto sign and under the curved towers of City Hall.

The celebration moved to The Broadview Hotel, with drinks on the rooftop overlooking the downtown skyline, and then dinner around one long table with the people who matter most. A City Hall wedding proves that small can still feel big. If you are planning one in Toronto, we would love to hear about it.
