Canadian Wedding Traditions to Include
May 6, 2026
Celebrate your Canadian heritage with these unique wedding traditions. From maple syrup to the RCMP, find ways to honor your home.
Adding Canadian touches to your wedding is a wonderful way to honor your roots. For the reception, serve Canadian food: poutine, tourtière, butter tarts, and Nanaimo bars are all authentic choices. For a late-night snack, serve a beaver tail or a Timbit tower. For the bar, serve Caesars made with Clamato juice — a national treasure. Offer Canadian beer and ice wine from Niagara or the Okanagan. For the music, play songs by Canadian artists: Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Drake, and The Weeknd. Send your guests home with maple syrup, ice wine miniatures, or Crown Royal as favors. As the couple exits, have guests wave small Canadian flags for a fantastic photo moment.
