SOCAN is the agency in Canada that protects the copyrights of all music created by musicians. In order to play music at any event, you must buy a licence from them. If you go to their website, they have a list of various types of events, and the fees associated. And as the other person said, I have always seen that as part of the hall...
The website is www.socan.ca

If you're having a band or dj check with them too - lots of them cover that fee in their packages.

| Usually the SOCAN fee is included with the venue price. It usually varies on whether there is dancing or not as well as how many people are at the wedding. I found this on their website: 1-100 people: no dancing $20.56 with dancing: $41.13 101-300 people: no dancing $29.56 with dancing $59.17 301-500 people: no dancing $61.69 with dancing $123.38 Over 500 people: no dancing $87.40 with dancing $141.79 Why there's a difference between whether there's dancing or not I have no idea.
