Wedding decor in Barrhaven

Barrhaven and Nepean weddings often happen in versatile multi-purpose rooms: spaces that can be anything, which means they start as nothing.

Community centres and multi-purpose halls are the most transformable venues in the region and the ones most people underestimate. Fluorescent ceiling panels, a stage at one end, a serving hatch along one wall. Left alone, the room photographs like a gymnasium. Draped, uplit and dressed, the same room reads like a ballroom, at a fraction of a hotel's room rate.

This is the work we are proudest of: taking a plain rented hall and giving a couple something their families talk about for years. If your venue looks unpromising in photos, send it to us. Those are the rooms where the decor budget goes furthest.

Local questions

Barrhaven, specifically

Barrhaven is roughly 20 to 30 minutes from central ottawa. Any travel is quoted openly as its own line item so you can see exactly what it costs. We don't fold it invisibly into the design price.

Six to twelve months for a Saturday between May and October, which is when this region's venues fill up. Winter and weekday dates are usually comfortable at three months. Ask regardless of timing. We deliberately hold inventory back for short-notice bookings, and we have put a full wedding together on a week's notice before.

After 30 years we have worked in most of them, and where we haven't we do a site visit before quoting. Tell us the venue name and we'll tell you straight away what we know about its ceiling height, rigging rules and load-in window.

Yes, on every quote. Our team delivers, installs, sets every table and returns at the end of the night to strike. Nobody in your family should be folding linens at 1am. Inside Ottawa there is no travel fee. For Valley and out-of-region venues we quote travel transparently up front.

Very happily. We work alongside planners, photographers, DJs and florists every weekend and we are used to being one part of a bigger team. If you already have a florist, send us their proposal and we will design the decor to sit with it rather than against it.

Yes, and this has been core to what we do since 1996. Hindu mandaps, nikah and mehndi settings, Sikh ceremonies, Afghan and Persian receptions, Lebanese and Ethiopian weddings, church and civil ceremonies. We have said from the very beginning that we work with all cultures and ethnicities, and we mean it literally. You should not have to explain your own traditions to your decorator.
