Casa Loma Wedding FAQ
How much does a photography permit cost at Casa Loma?
A formal photography permit at Casa Loma typically ranges between $800 and $1,000 CAD for a 2-hour session. Pricing may vary depending on the time of day (morning vs. afternoon) and the specific areas requested. This permit is required for engagement shoots, wedding portraits (if not hosting the wedding there), and commercial photography.
Can I take professional photos at Casa Loma without a permit?
No. While casual photography with a smartphone or handheld camera is allowed with a general admission ticket, professional shoots require a permit. If you arrive with professional equipment (tripods, reflectors, wedding attire) without a booking, security will likely ask you to leave or purchase a permit on the spot, subject to availability.
.What are the best spots for photography at Casa Loma?
Casa Loma offers several iconic backdrops for photography:
The Conservatory: famous for its stained glass ceiling and lush greenery (perfect for rainy days).
The Terrace: offers panoramic views of the Toronto skyline and CN Tower.
The Great Hall: features 60-foot ceilings and wood paneling for a dramatic, moody look.
The Gardens: (Seasonal) manicured fountains and florals ideal for spring/summer shoots.
What is the total cost of a wedding at Casa Loma?
A wedding at Casa Loma generally costs between $40,000 and $60,000+ for a standard guest count (100–150 people). This estimate includes the venue rental fee ($5k–$15k), a historical preservation fee (~$5k), ceremony fees, and per-person catering costs ($120–$250).
Is the Casa Loma library available for photoshoots?
Yes, the Library is available, but access depends on private event bookings. Because the Library is a primary event space, photography permits are often restricted to early morning slots (before 12:00 PM) or weekdays to avoid conflicting with scheduled weddings and corporate functions.
