Central Library is an iconic Downtown Kitchener location, with ample parking, breathtaking art installations, award-winning architecture and filled with the greatest love stories of all time. Beyond being an ideal place to exchange vows, having your wedding at the library also symbolizes something more. Kitchener Public Library is a community hub; an inclusive place for ideas, opportunity and growth. What you spend here gets funnelled back into the community through our numerous programs and services. Is there any better way to start your life together? Whether you’re seeking a cozy and intimate ceremony or have plans for a big grand wedding, the library is the perfect venue. “When you think about it, library values demonstrate what it means to be a good partner and in a good relationship. Like a library, couples should strive to change and grow together, be open to new ideas, work on building a life together that is sustainable and work towards creating a community that is inclusive and supportive of everyone.” — Amber, Kitchener ON
