FAIRMONT HOTEL MACDONALD

Do you imagine you wedding in a beautiful sun lit room with chandeliers and tapestries that look like they came from the set of The Great Gatsby? Well, then the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald is the perfect venue for you. They have several beautiful ball rooms and event spaces. I am personally a fan of the Wedgwood room that is shown below in some of these images.

The hotel also has a balcony that overlooks the Edmonton skyline and doubles as a great spot for photos! Right by the balcony, is a fountain and mini garden. Both, excellent places to take photos!

UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA DEVONIAN BOTANIC GARDENS

Edmonton is a beautiful city except if you are stuck on the Henday on a Monday morning with a foot of snow on the road… All traffic stress aside, the Devonian Botanical Gardens are an excellent choice as a wedding venue! They offer a beautiful location with lots of room, decent pricing and a fantastic place to take gorgeous wedding photos! They also offer an indoor show house as a backup location to couples that book their ceremony with them. This is a pretty great backup plan in case the Edmonton weather decides to be unruly on your wedding day (yeah I am talking about that July shower that shows up out of nowhere!!).

EDMONTON STREET CAR

Imagine you are in the middle of a river on a top of a bridge in a vintage street car. Your partner is standing in front of you telling you how much they love you and why they want you to be their partner in crime for the rest of their life. It is your wedding ceremony and your in the middle of a frikking bridge on top of a river. Yeah! That is what I am talking about haha! This is one of those uniquely Edmonton wedding venues that has so much offer but isn’t well known enough in my opinion! Albeit the capacity of the street car is 30 people so it is usually suited for a more intimate ceremony, it makes up for it in the form of novelty and charm! You can see more about this venue on their website here!

ALBERTA ART GALLERY

Do you imagine your wedding in an iconic location that has some of the coolest architecture and fantastic downtown views, a location that is in itself a piece of artwork? Well the Alberta Art Gallery is right down your alley then! It is a fantastic wedding venue with its prime location and terrace ceremony area. It also features some unique architecture with sweeping stairs and ultra-futuristic construction that makes for a fantastic location for wedding photos! You can check out the wedding I photographed at the Art Gallery of Alberta Below:

GREYSTONE GARDENS BED & BREAKFAST

Want a charming outdoor venue that is surrounded by beautiful nature, trees and the serene quiet that comes from being away from the city? Greystone Bed & Breakfast is another unique venue that is very competitively priced but offers an amazing place to have your wedding at. The large ground offer a variety of options for the ceremony itself as well as options for taking beautiful photos. There is also an adorable tree swing that children can play (and so can you!). Imagine your dress flying behind you while your hubby-to-be pushes the swing (I imagine a squeal ‘weeeeee’)!

DEVON LIONS CAMPGROUND

Alright, technically not a Edmonton wedding venue but it is close enough that I felt like it should be included! It is a 30 minute drive away from Edmonton and is nestled right along the Saskatchewan River. It has absolutely gorgeous views of the river itself and a beautiful nature backdrop. It is also extremely reasonably priced! You can check out their website here!

It also has one of the most beautiful ceremony areas I have ever seen! You can check out more of their venue on their website here!

FORT EDMONTON PARK

You have heard of 2 for 1s, but have you heard of 10 for 1? Well, now you have! Fort Edmonton Park is 10 wedding venues rolled up into one awesome location. According to its own website, it is a place filled with living history with its historic churches, gardens and hangar! Yeah, you heard that right, you could host your wedding inside a renovated airplane hangar.

I could literally write a whole blog post about this wedding venue but that is for another time.

WINDERMERE GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB

It is often the people who make the place and in the case of the Windermere Golf & Country Club, this is very true! Their staff is amazing and goes above and beyond for their guests. I have had the privilege of photographing several weddings at this venue and each time, the staff surprised me with their due diligence and attention to detail. It is also a beautiful location with large grounds that have several fountains and ponds. An advantage of having a venue like this one is that you can stay the entire day at one place. Do your ceremony on the outdoor terrace, take your family and formal photos on the grounds and then join the family for cocktails!
