Le Belvedere wedding venue in Ottawa is a personal favorite for several reasons. By far, the location is its biggest attraction. Situated in Wakefield, Quebec, sitting comfortably in the Canadian countryside, this outdoor venue can elevate your big day to unexpected heights, thanks to its stunning cliffside view of the Gatineau Hills.
If you’re close to a decision and the hillside scenery is speaking to your romantic side, let’s take a quick tour through your options. You’ll be taken care of before, during, and after the ceremony at Le Belvedere and, of course, as a photographer, I know you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to unforgettable snaps to match those unforgettable memories.
Although the cliffside view is the cherry on top, Le Belvedere has more to offer. The space covers a huge 8,000 square feet. But, because it’s family-run, you don’t lose the personal touch. Events can be scheduled for groups from 75 to 200 guests, giving you plenty of flexibility. If you opt for an indoor ceremony (or the weather gives you no choice!), you don’t compromise on the view, with a beautiful glass-walled banquet hall exposing the surrounding nature.
Weddings at Le Belvedere Ottawa are seamless, from start to finish. To save last-minute travel, you can use the on-site option for getting ready including The Garden House and The Guest House — which is available until 10am the next day and can accommodate six to 10 people overnight. After the ceremony, celebrations will move toward a beautifully bright Banquet Hall, with the option of a gourmet 3-course meal.
What I love about Le Belvedere is that people flow effortlessly between indoors and outdoors. In the evening, there’s an option for a campfire to huddle around and gaze at the stars. And, once the day draws to a close, an on-site stay is possible at The Guesthouse, or 10 minutes away at the nearby Wakefield Grand.
Le Belvedere offers an all-inclusive package that includes support when preparing the wedding, such as menu tasting and special software to organize the day, get-ready rooms, indoor or outdoor spaces, plus decor. And to ensure all the focus is on you and your partner, Le Belvedere considerately only hosts one event each day.
Onto the big question, what are Le Belvedere wedding prices? It depends on the time of year and ranges from $154 per guest to $204 per guest, so it’s best to check on their website directly once you have a few dates in mind.
Okay, onto the next big question! What about photographs? Because of picturesque scenery and fantastic lighting indoors and outdoors, you’re spoilt for choice. The backdrop includes lush forests and panoramic hill views, as well as elegant architectural elements within the venue itself.
