Getting married in 2020 looks a lot different than last year and couples may find themselves spending their special day enjoying a vineyard wedding instead of what they initially planned months ago. Couples who are still determined to get married in 2020 may have had to rethink their choice of venue or the number of guests they're permitted to invite but this doesn't mean their special day has to be any less memorable or beautiful. Recognizing that couples are open to intimate ceremonies—or "minimonies"—Canadian wineries are inviting couples on-site. A handful of well-known wineries are offering one-day-only wedding packages to acknowledge the fact that simple yet elegant options can replace traditional wedding plans.
The all-inclusive wedding packages block out a two-hour window for up to 20 guests and come equipped with an officiant, a photographer, confections, a charcuterie platter, wine and more.
