Ottawa Conference & Event Centre

A Wedding That Feels Like Yours

Ceremony, cocktails, dinner and dancing, all in one place, shaped around the day you've pictured.

Weddings

Your Celebration Should Feel Like Yours

From intimate gatherings to receptions for hundreds of guests, create a wedding experience around your vision, menu and guests. Two divisible ballrooms mean your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception can each have their own room, and guests can move easily between the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception spaces. Menus are built with you rather than chosen from a list, and an experienced banquet team looks after setup, timing and service so the day belongs to you and not to the logistics.
