City Of Toronto & Wedding Photography Permits

Here are details you need to know if you plan on buying a photo permit from the city of Toronto.
  • The permit centre photo number is: 416-392-8188
  • Booking for 2011 starts on September 1, 2010
  • Permits are booked on a first-come, first-served basis so book as early as possible if you're set on a certain site
  • Some sites have are booked for an hour, others two hours
  • While I’m sure rates for 2011 will go up, one-hour permits were going for $54 while two-hour permits were going for about $143
  • The booking must be made and paid by either the bride or groom
  • For indoor bookings, the photographer’s name and contact info will be needed

Bookings are done one of two ways:
  1. Go in person between 8:30 am-4 pm, Monday to Friday, to the Etobicoke Civic Centre, North York Civic Centre, Scarborough Civic Centre, or Toronto City Hall, where you can pay using a major credit card, cash or certified check
  2. Phone the permit office and book using a major credit card. I was told that if you’re booking over the phone, you need access to a fax machine so yeah, maybe you can do this from the office
Someone at the permit office told me to visit this site: http://weddingparks.ca for a listing of city parks but then added that the city doesn’t look after that site so the info’s not always up-to-date/accurate.

Helpful!
