Vibrant, Full Service Event Space: Parlour Ottawa Weddings

As a full-service event space, the Parlour wedding venue in Ottawa guarantees style and elegance. Situated in one of the city’s trendiest areas, Wellington West, the 4,000-square-foot space is highly customizable, ranging from 30 guests to 225. What makes this venue stand out is how collaborative their team is. Whatever you envision, they’ll help you bring it to life.

I’ve known couples who have mixed feelings about using a multi-purpose venue for their wedding day, but I want to reassure you that you can have a very special day here. In this article, I’ll guide you through the reasons why, including practicalities and personal insights.

Why Choose Parlour Ottawa?

This turnkey (wedding lingo for full-service) restaurant venue is incredibly eye-catching. Built in 1922, it offers a mid-century modern aesthetic. The variety of set-ups includes full buy-outs, or the option to rent single rooms. The Chapel and Parlours are their two bigger indoor spaces, along with the Grange Patio and Upper Wellington Patio. This caters to a mixture of sit-down dinners, ceremonies, and cocktails.

They don’t charge rent but instead have a minimal spend on food and drink. Now I mention food and drink — this is another huge bonus with a Parlour Ottawa wedding! They specialize in bespoke catering, including a farm-to-table menu. Their food is sourced depending on the season, and menu tasting a month before is included as part of the full-service package.

You can relax knowing everything from design, coordination, and planning is taken care of. As mentioned, Parlour Ottawa wedding prices depend on minimum spend. 

Whether it’s just the Chapel or the entire venue you’re after, the team will tailor everything to your needs. The “Full buyout” for both indoor spaces and patios is a minimum of $10,000 and gives you access to the indoor parlour and chapel as well as the upper Wellington and lower Grange patios. With mobile bar stations, 3 high-top cocktail tables, and 12 mid-century modern tables, this option allows for a 130-seated reception or a 225-guest cocktail reception – with flexibility to do cocktail and food stations too.

The “Chapel” package offers you a private curtain-separated space, a chef’s table, and a private bar station – along with plenty of modern tables, high-top tables, and chairs. With a minimum spend of $4,000, you can have a really intimate setting with 30 seated guests or 55 for a standing cocktail reception. Depending on the season, you can also enquire about hiring a specific patio.

I’ve seen full weddings, micro-weddings, and even couples who eloped at the City Hall and invited family and friends for a post-ceremony celebration. Something they all had in common, was smiles on their faces!

Somehow this venue manages to combine cozy with elegant, and style with warmth. Its captivating backdrop, including the artistic interior and beautiful furnishing, makes for stunning photos of your special day.

As someone who has an eye for beauty, their staff knows how to design a space to visual perfection, as well as make food that looks just as beautiful as it tastes!
