Wedding decor in Gatineau

Crossing the river is a fifteen-minute drive and something we do most weekends. Gatineau, Hull and Aylmer venues are as familiar to us as the ones on the Ontario side.

Gatineau gives couples some of the region's most striking settings: riverfront rooms with Parliament in the window, converted heritage buildings in old Hull, and reception halls with the Gatineau Hills behind them. What they often ask for in return is flexibility, with tighter load-in windows, stricter rules about attaching anything to heritage walls, and rooms whose proportions don't suit a standard backdrop kit.

We build freestanding rather than wall-mounted wherever a venue requires it, and we carry the drapery lengths to suit both the very tall heritage rooms and the lower modern ones. If your ceremony is on the Québec side and your reception is in Ottawa, or the reverse, we handle both ends the same day.

Local questions

Gatineau, specifically

Gatineau is roughly 15 to 25 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.
