Marriage and marijuana: Expo for couples with ‘high’ expectations on their big day

Toronto’s first Cannabis Wedding Expo shows couples how to incorporate weed in their wedding

There are no shortage of monikers for cannabis: weed, marijuana, herb, bud, Mary Jane.

But developer of Cannabis Wedding Expo Philip Wolf did notice a shortage in exposure for cannabis services, prompting him to create the event.

“There was a lot of young entrepreneurs [on] the hospitality and service side of cannabis, and there wasn’t any way to market yourself,” said Wolf, who started the Colorado-born function in 2015.

From hemp gowns, buds in bouquets and flower vases that double as bongs, the 12th edition of the Cannabis Wedding Expo made its Canadian debut in Toronto this Sunday.

With over 50 wedding experts, special cannabis vendors and bud-tenders, the event is for couples seeking an alternative way to tastefully incorporate weed in their weddings.

“People are really utilizing cannabis, not only at weddings but events overall and so they want to get inspired on ways that they can do so,” said Wolf.
