12 Unique Wedding Venues in Winnipeg That’ll Make Your Guests Say “Wow!”
I remember attending my friend’s wedding last year. And I know saying that it looks straight out of a fairytale sounds cliche, but I swear, that’s the only way to describe it.
It was set in a forest, just beside a river. Plus, it was fall, so the forest ground was buried in golden-hued, crunchy leaves; add twinkling fairy lights, bouquets of wildflowers with fresh eucalyptus, and a wooden arch draped in white fabric—simple perfection.
So, if you’re tired of the usual church, banquet hall, or country club wedding, you’re in luck. We rounded up Winnipeg’s one-of-a-kind wedding venues that your guests will remember for years to come!
