My Big Fat Cabbagetown Wedding was a major fundraiser for the Cabbagetown Youth Centre held on Saturday April 1, 2006 in the gloriously transformed Cabbagetown Youth Centre gymnasium at 2 Lancaster Avenue, Toronto.
My Big Fat Cabbagetown Wedding (supported by the Old Cabbagetown Business Improvement Area), was a ‘tongue-in-cheek’ mock wedding reception for 250 guests. Attendees, dressed in outrageous wedding attire, a bevy of brides, grooms in top hats & tails, bridesmaids and ushers, enjoyed a catered cocktail reception and dance.

Wedding events included specially created Cabbagetini cocktails, catered goodies, DJ and dancing, wedding cake made from Tim Horton Timbits and toasts. A honeymoon raffle featured Leafs and Raptors tickets and a grand prize of a deluxe weekend for two in July at the Algonquin Park Couples Resort.
Founded as the Cabbagetown Boxing Club in 1972 the Cabbagetown Youth Centre has provided a full range of recreational, social, and educational programs (most offered free of charge) for the children, teens, and families living in the Cabbagetown and St. Jamestown areas of Toronto. To maintain its diverse and high quality programs which provide healthy alternatives and promote improving the quality of life for less fortunate area families, the Cabbagetown Youth Centre relies heavily on the support of the community in the form of financial support, volunteerism, and donations.
