About the Region

Getting married in York.

York Region stretches north of Toronto from Markham and Vaughan up through Richmond Hill, Aurora, Newmarket, and into the rolling countryside around Uxbridge, Stouffville, and King City. The region offers a striking mix: the polished hospitality of Markham's convention centres and luxury hotels, the rural elegance of Uxbridge horse country, and historic small-town charm in places like Aurora and Sutton.

Marriage licences are issued by each individual municipality, so couples should apply at the city or town clerk's office where they live or where they're getting married. Maureen travels across York every season, from black-tie ballrooms in Markham to weathered-barn weddings in Uxbridge, and brings the same warm, personal approach to each one.
