My Favorite Wedding Venues for 2013

By Rev. Alan Viau

Another busy wedding season has come and gone. I visited many wedding venues in the Ottawa area and here are my three favorites for the year.

I classify wedding venues into three categories; rustic/natural, modern/urban chic and romantic. You can see more on this in my FREE downloadable eBookLove in the Capital. 

Rustic/Natural – Le Belvedere near Maniwaki is stunning. The wedding ceremonies are performed on the edge of a cliff overlooking a valley. It is inspiring. The building is ‘green’ and the service impeccable.

Modern/ Urban Chic – Art Is In Bakery was perhaps the most unique venue for a wedding for me this year. I was privileged to be the first to perform a ceremony there. Awesome food and service make for a memorable event. See Renee and Michael’s wedding.

Romantic – Gezellig Dining proved to be an intimate venue. It has an upper floor for the ceremony and dancing later. The main floor makes it easy to see and chat with all your guests. And of course the food is excellent. See Amanda and Ali’s wedding.
