Ottawa’s Most Romantic Garden & Estate Wedding Venues
Hello there! If you are deep into the wonderful season of wedding planning, we are so glad you found your way here.
There is something truly magical about an outdoor wedding. Breathing in the fresh air, walking down an aisle surrounded by lush greenery, and dancing under the stars—it really is a dream. We are incredibly fortunate that our region is home to some of the most stunning Ottawa venues for weddings, particularly if you love nature as much as we do.
As a local photo and video team (you can read a little more about our story here), we spend our summers capturing beautiful memories out in the sunshine. If you are envisioning a day filled with flowers, historic barns, and sweeping landscapes, we would love to share a few of our absolute favorite garden and estate venues with you.
1. The Herb Garden
If you are searching for a venue that feels like a quiet, floral escape, The Herb Garden in Almonte is such a lovely choice. It is wonderfully rustic and completely surrounded by beautiful, fragrant gardens and heritage trees.
Why we love it: The natural light here is simply beautiful. The towering trees provide the perfect amount of soft shade, which is wonderful for your ceremony photos. If you'd like to see how we capture this kind of soft, natural lighting, we invite you to browse our photography portfolio.
2. Stonefields Estate
When couples ask us for recommendations that blend outdoor beauty with high-end elegance, Stonefield Estates (located just outside of Carleton Place) is always at the top of our list. You get the charm of historic stone buildings mixed with breathtaking open spaces.
Why we love it: You really get the best of both worlds here. You can host an elegant outdoor ceremony, but you also have access to their stunning glass-enclosed ceremony house. It is such a romantic backdrop! If you are curious about how our team covers full-day estate weddings like this, you can find all of our transparent packages on our pricing page.
3. Le Belvédère
For couples looking for something truly epic, a Belvedere Wakefield wedding is hard to beat. Nestled high up in the Gatineau Hills, this venue gives you an outdoor wedding experience with a breathtaking cliffside view that stretches for miles.
Why we love it: The dramatic landscape is an absolute dream for cinematic videography and sweeping drone shots. We actually created a dedicated Le Belvédère Wedding gallery so you can see exactly how the golden hour light looks from that famous wooden archway!
4. Evermore Weddings & Events
If you love the idea of a garden party with a European twist, Evermore is a wonderful hidden gem in Almonte. The restored barn is gorgeous, but the outdoor courtyard and surrounding fields are where the real magic happens.
Why we love it: We absolutely love taking our couples for a quiet walk out to their famous weeping willow tree for sunset portraits. It feels so relaxed and intimate. Feel free to take a peek at our Evermore wedding page to get a sense of the warm, inviting atmosphere.
5. Adelina Barn
If you are planning a more intimate, tightly-knit celebration with your closest family and friends, Adelina Barn in Gatineau is incredibly special. It feels less like a traditional venue and more like an enchanted forest.
Why we love it: The string-lit pergola and mature gardens naturally encourage those genuine, quiet moments that we love to document. It is the perfect place for a very emotional, family-focused celebration. You can view some of these sweet moments on our Adelina Barn Wedding page.
Capturing Your Outdoor Celebration
One of the best things about garden and estate weddings is how the scenery changes throughout the day. From the bright, vibrant greens of the afternoon to the soft, golden light of the evening, it is a beautiful progression to capture.
Because outdoor lighting can change so quickly, having an experienced team is so helpful. Our Senior Collective ensures that your lead photographer and videographer know exactly how to use the sun to your advantage, keeping your photos looking bright, timeless, and completely natural.
We would be so honored to hear about the lovely outdoor celebration you are planning. Please reach out and contact us today—we would love to help you bring your vision to life!
