Ontario Wedding Swap & Sale FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Wedding Swap & Sale?
It’s a multi-vendor indoor garage sale in which you can buy / sell / swap your wedding items—decor, dresses, accessories, and more— and have the ability to shop from MANY other sellers!

How much is admission?
Admission to the sale is $5 at the door

Where is it?
*NEW VENUE FOR 2025*
We have rented out the DOUBLE GYM at The Hamilton Italian Centre
(420 Crerar Dr, Hamilton, ON, L9A 5K3).
More space = More vendors!
This venue is absolutely lovely, has AC, a big parking lot, beautiful outdoor section, wheelchair accessible, nearby highway access, restaurants, banks, and is reachable via public transit.

How can I swap my items?
We will have a free “swap” table (clearly labelled) near the front, where you can take and leave items.

Buyer Beware:
Caveat emptor (Latin term for “Buyer Beware”). Please inspect all your items before purchasing. If there are any issues, please speak to the seller directly at the swap. While we can try to put you in contact with the seller post-swap, it’s better if you can resolve any issues same-day.
The main purpose of this event is to foster a positive wedding & bridal community in Hamilton.

Is this a Cash Only sale?
Each vendor is responsible for handling transactions at their table. While they may have access to electronic payments, to err on the side of caution, please bring cash.
