but in the last few years, there have been quite a few changes in the Winnipeg wedding venue landscape so it’s time for an update!


Whether you’re looking for a Winnipeg wedding venue or something within a few minutes of the perimeter, we’ve got some really great options — just make sure you book it early!

Previously, I’ve broken this up into My Top 5 Unique Wedding Venues, and Top 5 Best Wedding Locations in Manitoba (outside of Winnipeg). Since those posts, we’ve seen a number of new venues open, as well as a few on my previous lists close down or shift gear. I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working at almost all of these venues within the last 12 months, and they’re all SO great.

Without further ado, here are my Top favourite wedding venues in Winnipeg (and area) in absolutely no particular order!


Winnipeg Art Gallery

The WAG has long been one of my favourite venues for weddings. The building is absolutely beautiful, and of course, has every amenity that you need already taken care of. The rooftop makes for a gorgeous spot for ceremonies and cocktail hour (though prepare for wind! There’s nothing quite so windy as the WAG rooftop), Eckhardt Hall is a breathtaking backdrop for chic receptions, and since the opening of Quamajug, there are a few additional spaces available that are also visually inspiring.


The White Poplar

Near East Selkirk, the White Poplar has been a popular outdoor venue for a few years. It’s similar in style to a lot of tent facilities, in that you bring in your own caterer, florals and decor, music, and so on, so you can really customize how much your wedding is going to cost you. The pavilion style building has open sides with a permanent roof, a fantastic catering building that also houses the washrooms and a wedding party suite. The property features a pond, is fully treed, and has multiple options for gorgeous ceremony backdrops. There are a lot of wins here!

One thing you need to plan for is wind. It’s a windy property, and seemingly no matter what is happening in the sky, it’s going to be windy enough to knock vases or candles off tables in the pavilion. Plan to keep your centrepieces low and large enough that the vase has good weight to it and is more likely to stay on the tables, and consider framing your table numbers and tucking menus and place cards into napkins or forks.

Another great thing about White Poplar — they are SO good to vendors. Honestly, they make our jobs easy and that’s not something you find at every venue. Extra bonus points for a happy vendor team 😊


The Pavilion at Assiniboine Park

I am SO EXCITED that the Pavilion is once again open. They did weddings back in the day, and then the restaurant was closed, and then they reopened for weddings with a refreshed look but then Covid happened…and I just am so happy about it because it’s a beautiful wedding venue with a long list of pros. Some of my favourite elements include

-an open ceiling that allows me to hang flowers 🌸
-gorgeous natural light thanks to a lot of windows
-a prime location inside Assiniboine Park making it so easy for guests, and so many locations for your wedding photos
-a beautiful outdoor terrace perfect for ceremonies and cocktail hours
-the venue capacity for a seated dinner is 100 people, which gives you the perfect excuse to have a slightly trimmed down guest list while still including all your most important people!


The St Norbert Arts Centre

SNAC is just a few minutes south of the city, making it really convenient while also being situated in a unique historical and natural environment. The room is on the smaller side, with light hardwood floors, lots of windows, and white walls. Long tables work really well here, and in the image above, we brought in the crossback chairs and ceiling drapery to create a more refined rustic vibe.

Heads up, though, that the SNAC is not air conditioned, so you’re likely going to want to avoid booking a mid-summer wedding here. May/June and September/October is PERFECT.


The Manitoba Club

The Manitoba Club is one of my favourite venues in Winnipeg. Now here’s the thing — the Grand Ballroom and the Oak Room are two absolutely stunning rooms, with a very old-world quality that lends an elegant, traditional atmosphere, but the thing that I love the MOST about Manitoba Club is actually their outdoor space, the Bonnycastle Garden! Just take a look at this — it’s perfect for intimate wedding receptions, an outdoor wedding ceremony, or even your cocktails and dancing!


Alloway Hall at the Manitoba Museum

I’m super excited that, after a few years’ hiatus, the Manitoba Museum is once again taking wedding bookings in Alloway Hall! I’m eagerly anticipating my first wedding there next summer. We’re going with a lot of colour and a maximalist gallery vibe, which will go beautifully in the large, open, white and black space. You can do a LOT of things in here, but you’re not going to want to go minimal with decor.

Here’s what I love about Alloway Hall:
-it fits a LOT of people - up to 600!
-it features tall ceilings, white walls, and dark floors with a gallery-style vibe, so it’s a great blank canvas for different styles
-one wall is entirely windows, with a gorgeous view of the Steinkopf Gardens between the museum and the Concert Hall
-built-in lighting options!


Restaurant Weddings: Smith, Gusto, and Cibo

Restaurant weddings will always be a fave of mine. Why? The food is always going to be great, the atmosphere is a bit more relaxed and less traditional than your typical wedding venue, and they’re often so beautifully designed that you just need to add a few flowers or candles and you’re all set to go.

Keep in mind that tables are usually a bit more helter-skelter (they won’t all be exactly the same, making the floor plan a bit trickier to figure out) and also usually quite narrow, so you won’t have as much space for florals. I’d recommend doing a plated dinner as there often won’t be enough space for share platters.


St Charles Country Club

In the heat of the summer, sometimes what you really need is an indoor wedding venue with the reliability of air conditioning and no wind. And ideally, a pretty space as well :) You certainly get that at St Charles! Plus gorgeous grounds, a truly idyllic outdoor space, and a gorgeous fireplace for those iconic portraits and first dance moments. They renovated a few years ago, and it still feels fresh and clean. The ceilings are on the lower side, and the floor plan can be a bit strange because it’s a long room with two wings on either end, so not every guest will be able to see the wedding couple throughout the evening (though I don’t think this is necessarily a bad thing!).


The Fort Garry Hotel

The Hotel Fort Garry has been hosting weddings in their ballrooms for over 100 years already so it’s not as though you didn’t already know the venue existed, BUT, it’s still one of my favourite wedding venues in downtown Winnipeg, and in particular, the Provencher Room on the first floor is a personal fave. If you want your wedding to feel classic and elegant, there’s no better option for you. The benefits of being able to get ready in one of their suites, visit the spa, and simplify your out-of-town guests’ stay are obvious as well!

For this gorgeous flower-filled wedding, they utilized the entire 7th floor and created a really unique guest experience. Guests stepped off the elevator and knew the entire space was for their celebration. The ceremony and pre-cocktail party were in the Concert Ballroom, with additional cocktail tables and the seating display in the loggios / hallway, dinner in the Crystal Ballroom, and then back to the Concert for dancing. It worked beautifully!


Wild Skies Resort

Owned and created by amazing wedding photographer Megan Steen, Wild Skies is an incredibly unique outdoor venue that’s ideal for couples who love camping/glamping, are eco-conscious, and are looking for something a bit more on the intimate side. In 2021 I was so lucky to do Tiffany and Stephanie’s intimate wedding under the trees at Wild Skies, and since then, they’ve built a modern pavilion (complete with pizza oven 🤤) that I’m aching to see in person.


Pineridge Hollow

Pineridge Hollow has always been on the list, and for good reason. Everyone loves it! It’s a semi-permanent tent situated in the tree line at this popular destination bordering Birds Hill Park.

At PRH you always know the food is going to be top-notch, and the grounds are beautiful. They also offer unique customizations that take the guest experience up a few notches. While the tent itself could use some refreshing, they’ve recently added permanent bathrooms (woo!) and offer multiple ceremony settings so you can really get the vibe you’re going for. At this recent wedding, I added greenery to the ceiling (lighting by Event Light) and decked out the entranceway between the bar tent and the main tent, and that really amped it all up.


Lilystone Gardens

New kid on the block! Lilystone is the perfect example of why every wedding venue should be designed by a wedding florist, my friends. Kelly has done the most amazing job of creating a space that is just begging to be covered with flowers AND EVEN BETTER it’s at her flower farm. WHAT.

Air conditioned. Indoor and outdoor spaces. Multiple gorgeous ceremony locations. Catering kitchen on premises. Getting ready suite right there. I mean. There are only pros here. I’m so excited to have a wedding here next fall!

Florals in the above photo by the talented team at Lilystone! I did work on the hanging installation along with Deer Dutch, though 😊


Top Winnipeg Wedding Venues - Hawthorn Estates

Ariana Tennyson Photography

Hawthorn Estates

Hawthorn is just about 30 minutes outside of the city (and it’s actually super close to my end of town, so it’s very convenient for me lol!) and they’ve done SUCH a beautiful job of creating this amazing wedding venue. They have options for your ceremony to be fully outdoors or in their covered solarium (I LOVE THE SOLARIUM!), and the reception space features this gorgeous fireplace (which also makes for a stunning ceremony spot!) and beautiful distressed timber beams throughout. There’s a great amount of natural light, as well as really nice bathrooms, which always bumps a venue to the top of my personal list!

I’d love to work with a client at Hawthorn who wants to get creative…I’d picture the ceremony in front of the fireplace, with the sweetheart table moved in front for the reception, and a mix of banquet and round tables throughout the room. Velvet linens, lush florals on the fireplace…oh baby, who’s in?


The Gates on Roblin

The Gates is one of those spaces that has been around for a long time, has gone through multiple iterations of itself, and always exudes excellence. My aunt was married in the restaurant when I was kid, and I remember just loving that day, so it’s always been special for me.

The food is excellent, the venue staff are fantastic, and you have the option to have your ceremony outdoors or indoors, cocktails on the patio, and if you have a smaller group, then the restaurant has several private rooms you can use instead of the full venue!

In my opinion, the reception space does require a lot of dressing up, so ensure that you’ve budgeted appropriate for ceiling and wall drapery. It’s a pretty neutral space, so you can do pretty much any colour palette well, which is always a bonus!

Bridesmaid Proposal Party: Anthropologie Meets Taylor Swift Vibes

Say HELLO to the cutest ever bridesmaid proposal party! With Anthropologie meets Taylor Swift vibes, there’s literally no way this couldn’t have been the FREAKING CUTEST EVER.

So, Jeanna wanted to throw a party to officially ask her girls to be her bridesmaids, and wanted to treat them really special! It was originally supposed to be a pool party, but the weather didn’t quite turn out that way. Nonetheless, we made it ADORABLE and they had an amazing time!

Huge thanks to the Soiree team for bringing us on board for this — we loved every bit of this design!

Okay, so we started with the tablescape. They had a catered dinner (the menu looked UNREAL) and w wanted to go really full on the florals, pairing them up with these beautiful dishes, glassware, and napkins from Anthropologie.

Remember that pressed floral Oscar de la Renta dress that Taylor Swift wore to the Grammys? That was kind of my inspiration point for the florals — a mix of light and bold colours, a whimsical garden-inspired design with long reaching stems, and just cuteness overload.

The perfect twisted taper candles were added in, and you should have seen those personalized acrylic name cards that Paula from Paper & Palm made. Adorable.

Jeanna spoiled her girls with matching Cartier rings, along with the cutest Jellycat stuffies, personalized to each bridesmaid (PS as a parent, let me tell you…those are the SOFTEST things you’ll ever experience and they’re so cute).

Along with the tablescape, we also designed a few floral pieces for coffee tables, the bar, and the sweets display. I provided Jenna Rae Cakes with all-edible, locally grown flowers for this cake and it was SO whimsical, and just totally adorable.

I love a good statement arrangement, especially when it’s placed on a bar. You want to put the attention where people are going to be congregating, so this just makes sense!

Luscious Lavender and Peach Wedding Editorial

If I were only allowed to use one word to describe the floral vibes for this editorial shoot, it would be “JUICY.” Everything about this luscious lavender and peach design made me crave fruit and candy. It was just delicious!

I worked with Eventzy on this project as an editorial to be featured in the Wonderful Wedding Show magazine. It was such an honour to be asked by them; they really wanted to go for it and make a bit statement, and I was so thrilled to make it a success for them.

Bridal bouquet ingredients: Lavender stock, pink anthurium, peach Juliet garden rose, barista rose, coolwater rose, peach and orange ranunculus, lavender spray roses, raspberry scoop scabiosa, and purple phaelanopsis orchids.

The circular stage was the PERFECT altar. Eventzy had it custom made and I’m very into it!

I created this hanging piece (two thumbs up for venues with open rafters!) and encircled the stage with arrangements and smilax vine and I love the lush effect. The aisle was lined with plenty of candlelight.

And just WHAT A GREAT PALETTE. Sometimes we’ll choose to keep one section of the floral designs more or less subdued, or adjust the colour palette throughout the event, but for this one I wanted the colour to be EVERYWHERE.

Fun fact: I got trapped in the elevator during setup. It was a slightly terrifying start to the day but it ended up just fine 😂

Alright, let’s talk about this hanging piece over the dining table! This was a BIG SUCKER. Like 8x10 or something like that! To save on cost, we first covered the frame with faux greenery from House of Silk. Then Deanna and I went in and weaved through a ton of smilax vine — you can’t even see the faux greenery at all. We then strung up individual flowers, bloom by bloom. Again, we used a few stems of faux orchids which had a nice long line, and then added in plenty of roses. They brought the freshness and the scent we were looking for, and dang, the colour!

On the table, we went for mixed sizes of arrangements in cute clear glass vases from my rental inventory. Aren’t these pieces so cute! They pulled through all the colour, and played nicely against the copper flatware and pink water goblets.

We also did a second centrepiece style — the tree! House of Silk created a small tree base, which I then weaved through fresh vine. That made it a lot larger and gave that natural feeling, while having the faux base as a solid structure to work with.

We also added in a lot of lavender stock and lavender spray roses to bring in some colour. I chose to keep the floral palette in the tree monochromatic so that it didn’t feel overwhelming. And for large pieces like this, unless you have a very large budget, a monochromatic look will give you a more impressive visual statement.

I loved the brighter coloured candles at the base to add a little more vibrancy!

AND THE FRICKING CAKE. Jenna Rae Cakes nailed it, once again. The sugar orchids were absolutely incredible. I have a gluten allergy so I never get to eat cake (granted, this one was a faux cake) but the fondant was real and it smelled so delicious.

Wedding design tip: if your ceremony and reception are in the same space, I LOVE utilizing your ceremony floral feature as a way to display your cake. If you’re going to invest in a cake, then give it a serious moment to shine!

Make Your Wedding Cake a Focal Point

My wedding design philosophy centres around creating focal design moments that will be memorable, interactive, and highly photographed. These are also where you’ll end up investing chunks of your budget. Choosing to invest in focal moments helps ensure that you’re not going to blow your budget overall by spending on every little thing, but rather giving your spending a focus.

i know people have their ups and downs with wedding cakes and whether they’re a priority or not. in my mind, it comes down to this: if you’re going to invest in a wedding cake, then make 👏🏻 it 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 Moment 👏🏻

Fresh Florals + Sugar Flowers = CAKE LOVE

Alright, so I’m pretty confident that I’ve never seen a more gorgeous wedding cake than this one. Everything about it was divine, but just overall the way Jenna styled the fresh florals with sugar flowers and fruit was just glorious. Totally, totally glorious. It took centre stage on an equally beautiful dessert table and we didn’t add any extra major floral moments, because the cake itself was perfection.

Of course you’ll want to see this entire wedding at The White Poplar, which you can find here.

Little Cake, Big Style

This was just a simple Baked Expectations carrot cake but we really went for it on the flowers. This was a completely floral foam-free cake surround — I don’t like foam ever, but I would never use it near a cake. It’s just straight up cancer chemical plastic…no bueno. So this was designed in mixed sizes of vases and little chicken wire rolls! Here’s a look at how we designed it!

Bonus: If you’re an interior design lover, then shop your home! This table is from Brenna’s living room and it was totally perfect.

Pie Table at Pineridge Hollow - Garden Inspired Wedding Flowers Winnipeg

Slide it Under the Arch

Well, this is one we’ll never forget! The ceremony arch was set up in the Concert Ballroom at the Fort Garry, and then dinner was in the Crystal Ballroom down the hallway. That gave the perfect amount of time to flip the ceremony space into an afterparty and slid the cake under the arch.

Hot dang you guys. The cake itself was a remarkable 6 tiered showstopper, and under this 12 foot tall arch, it was a SERIOUS moment.

See more from Karleigh and Matt’s luxurious Fort Garry Hotel wedding here!

Re-Using Your Ceremony Setting

If your ceremony and reception venues are in the same space, then you literally have to think no further than adding a cocktail table with a gorgeous linen to use as a cake table, and sliding that right under or in front of your ceremony floral feature.

Set at The Novella, this editorial shoot featured a super cute circular ceremony platform with a hanging floral installation above. It was a no-brainer to re-use this as the perfect setting for the gorgeous cake (but if it was your wedding, you’d probably want those ceremony chairs taken out!).

Pies and Flowers

So if you’re doing a dessert table of any kind (in this case, pies and donuts), you have the opportunity to make it a fun and interactive display, more than just a buffet line like you’d see at a social.

First, I love the way the treats are all displayed on various crates and cake plates to give height and visual appeal.

We added ground-based floral pieces to both sides of the table, kind of moving around the front of the table. Lots of movement and height, super textural, tying through the colour palette…it looked gorgeous, if I may say so myself.

If you’re doing large aisle pieces, this could be the perfect way to repurpose them!

See more from Stephanie and Tiff’s rainy fall wedding at Pineridge Hollow here!

Simple and Romantic

Even if your cake is on the simpler side, you don’t need to scrimp on style! The hand painted petal detailing on the cake was light and romantic, so we wanted to mimic that with a frilly petal design on the cake table itself.

This was also a cute way to fill the table, without adding a ton of cost to your budget! And of course, it also makes for a super pretty addition to those champagne tower pouring photos 😍

More coming from this editorial soon!

Summer Colour

I loved the juicy pops of colour on this cake! I wanted to create a partial floral surround and just load it full of colourful blooms, and I used a lot of locally grown deliciousness for it.

This is a great design if you’re opting for the traditional cake-cutting moment, because you’ve got easy-access to most of the cake but still have the eye-catching florals.

See the rest of this cute and colourful editorial here!

Rose Garden Vibes

Marisa requested a straight-up rose garden for her wedding cake. Ummm YOU GOT IT.

This would be another perfect way to repurpose those aisle flowers! You’ll just want to make sure that your floral designer and your wedding planner connect regarding the scale — the florals can’t be too low to the ground, the cake table can’t be too high, etc.!

Wedding Colour Palettes Featuring Lilac

The fashion girlies are all wearing lilac this year, and we’re seeing that filter into your wedding palettes.

It can be tricky to use something so trendy in a fresh way. But, lucky for us, lilac is one of those shades that you can use in so many different ways to evoke a different design style. Here are some of my favourites!

How to Use Lilac In yOur Wedding Palette - Wedding Colour Palette Ideas

Lilac is one of the big colour trends of the year, and lucky for us, there are so many different ways to use it!


The fashion girlies are all wearing lilac this year, and we’re seeing that filter into your wedding palettes.

Oftentimes, it can be tricky to use something so trendy in a fresh way. But, lucky for us, lilac is one of those shades that you can use in so many different ways to evoke a different design style. here are some of my favourites!


First things first: feeling stuck? One of my favourite places to find colour palette inspiration is in fabric. Take a look below and tell me you’re not inspired. Another way to find colour palettes that sing to you is in art! I love looking at abstract art and seeing how different shades and tones interact.

I’m keeping things easy here, with just a few colours in each of the palettes below. But, I often find that the most exhilarating palettes are those that are broad and bold, so don’t be afraid to take one of the ideas below as a starting point and then layer in other ideas. Don’t just go with 2 colours. We need to blend and create movement, mkay?


Lilac and Peach/Orange

This is undoubtedly one of my favourite combinations of the year. Whether you’re going a bit more subtle with the peach or you want to go bold with orange, these combinations pair so beautifully and feels juicy, fresh, and will legit make you crave candy.

Coral and raspberry are natural additions to this palete!

Pastels are always an easy go-to. If you’re inspired by all things feminine, ruffly, and delicate, then this is a natural choice for you. It works great in a ballroom setting, it works great in a garden setting. I’d love to see this paired with adorable butterflies (Golden Age Botanicals makes AMAZING ones you could tuck into your bouquet!!). K call me. I want to do this.

Modern, bold, chic. I need more of this in my life.

This is giving sleek, rock and roll, bold and fearless. It’s giving red lips and a feather dress. It’s giving a killer pair of heels.
