My Top 5 Favourite Ottawa Wedding Venues

Hello Love Birds!

Choosing the perfect venue is one of the most important steps in planning an unforgettable celebration. As a Wedding Planner, I’ve had the honour of working at breathtaking venues across Ottawa. Each one offers its own unique charm and experience.

Every venue I recommend is carefully selected for its impeccable service, stunning aesthetics, and seamless guest experience. From picturesque landscapes to refined interiors, these spaces transform weddings into extraordinary celebrations.

Today, I’m thrilled to share my top five wedding venues in Ottawa and the surrounding area. These include Le Peaches & Cream, Bleeks and Bergamot, The Wakefield Grand, Le Belvédère, and Stonefields Estate. Each one is renowned for its beauty, exclusivity, and exceptional service.

These venues consistently provide extraordinary experiences, embodying the elegance and sophistication that luxury couples seek. No matter your wedding style, these locations offer the perfect backdrop. With their stunning settings and thoughtfully designed amenities, they make it effortless to bring your wedding vision to life.

How I Choose the Best Wedding Venues

When recommending venues to my clients, I focus on three key factors:

  • Exceptional Communication: I look for venues that are organized, responsive, and proactive during the planning process. This ensures my couples feel confident and supported from the start.
  • Attentive Day-Of Service: The staff’s ability to go above and beyond on the wedding day is crucial. Their dedication can transform a beautiful venue into a flawless celebration.
  • Immaculate Presentation: From well-maintained grounds to stunning interiors, a venue’s aesthetic sets the tone for a luxury wedding experience.

These criteria ensure that the venues I work with deliver the highest standards of service, making every celebration truly extraordinary.

1. Le Peaches & Cream

Location: Low, Quebec

Le Peaches & Cream offers a serene countryside setting just outside Ottawa, perfect for couples seeking a romantic, nature-inspired celebration. With a breathtaking open-air ceremony space and a covered pavilion, it comfortably hosts up to 130 guests. Luxurious on-site accommodations for up to 21 people make multi-day celebrations effortless and convenient.

Why We Love It

Le Peaches & Cream blends natural charm with modern luxury. The meticulously maintained grounds provide an ethereal backdrop for elevated floral designs, enhancing every wedding’s beauty. Hosting both the ceremony and reception on-site simplifies logistics and enhances the guest experience.

The team’s exceptional service ensures couples feel supported from start to finish. Their seamless communication makes planning effortless, leaving no detail overlooked. On the wedding day, they go above and beyond to create a calm, stress-free atmosphere.

The grounds are immaculately maintained, providing a pristine, enchanting backdrop for unforgettable celebrations. With its exceptional service, breathtaking landscapes, and luxurious amenities, Le Peaches & Cream delivers a truly unforgettable wedding experience.

2. Bleeks and Bergamot

Location: Ashton, Ontario

Nestled in rural Ottawa, Bleeks and Bergamot offers a refined blend of rustic charm and sophisticated elegance. This boutique venue features two spacious reception buildings, beautifully landscaped grounds, and a charming custom bridal suite. It is as versatile as it is stunning, making it ideal for personalized wedding designs.

Why We Love It

Bleeks and Bergamot radiates farmhouse chic charm, perfect for couples who want a warm, intimate atmosphere. The flexibility of both indoor and outdoor spaces allows for customized designs, from lush floral installations to candlelit receptions.

The team’s dedication to flawless service ensures every celebration feels effortless. The inviting ambiance makes it a top choice for couples seeking a wedding that feels both heartfelt and memorable.

Catering Flexibility That Stands Out

One of the many reasons I love working at Bleeks and Bergamot is the incredible catering flexibility. Unlike venues with a set in-house caterer, it allows couples to curate their culinary experience by choosing from a list of approved vendors.

This level of customization ensures your dining experience aligns perfectly with your wedding vision. Whether you dream of a formal plated dinner, a laid-back buffet, or a whimsical food truck soirée, your menu will reflect your unique style and preferences.


3. Wakefield Grand

Location: Wakefield, Quebec

Nestled in the heart of charming Wakefield, Quebec, The Wakefield Grand offers a picturesque setting for couples seeking a blend of elegance and rustic charm. The venue boasts a stunning location with sweeping views of the surrounding natural landscape, creating a serene and romantic atmosphere. The grand, yet intimate space exudes sophistication, with its beautiful architecture and sophisticated design offering a perfect backdrop for your wedding day.

Why We Love It
The Wakefield Grand is a standout for couples seeking both beauty and peace of mind. The venue’s striking views and elegant interior design set the tone for an unforgettable celebration. What truly makes it special is the impeccable service and attention to detail provided by their dedicated team. From the moment you step through the doors, you’ll be met with professionalism and a commitment to making your day flawless. The Wakefield Grand is a perfect canvas for creating the luxurious and personalized intimate wedding of your dreams.

4. Le Belvédère

Location: Wakefield, Quebec

Perched high above the Gatineau Hills, Le Belvédère offers breathtaking panoramic views that set the stage for awe-inspiring weddings. With a modern, glass-walled reception space and a cliffside ceremony location, Le Belvédère is both dramatic and serene.

Why We Love It
Le Belvédère’s natural beauty is unparalleled, creating an unforgettable backdrop for couples who want a wow-worthy setting. The venue’s team is renowned for their professionalism and attention to detail, ensuring every aspect of the day is flawless. The combination of stunning scenery and exceptional service makes this venue a standout choice for luxury wedding


5. Stonefields Estate

Location: Carleton Place, Ontario

Stonefields Estate is a historic property that blends timeless elegance with modern sophistication. Featuring a beautiful stone farmhouse, a chic reception barn, and meticulously landscaped grounds, this venue is perfect for couples seeking a refined countryside celebration.

Why We Love It
Stonefields Estate exudes charm and character, offering a unique balance of history and luxury. The attention to detail in every corner of the property, from the lush gardens to the elegantly appointed reception spaces, makes it a dream for high-end weddings. The dedicated team goes above and beyond to create seamless experience, ensuring every couple feels like their wedding is truly one-of-a-kind.


Why These Venues Are Perfect for High-End Weddings

Each of these venues embodies the qualities that define a luxury wedding: exclusivity, breathtaking beauty, and versatility.
