Getting married in Quebec? Then maple products are a must. In Saskatchewan? Opt for Saskatoon berry preserves. Treating your guests to locally-made favours representative of the province you marry in will not only allow guests to better connect with the region, it will also give them something memorable to savour when they return home. Sweet treats from Ontario and unique wines from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are just a few of our favourite locally-made Canadian wedding favours. Explore the rest of the list here to find an item that perfectly suits your location.
