Wedding Venues in Winnipeg & Manitoba — The Complete Guide

 
 

Planning your dream wedding in Manitoba? You're in the right place. We're Cheryl & Joel of Black & Gold Photography, and between the two of us we've photographed weddings at nearly every venue on this list over the past 15 years. We've put together this guide not just as a directory, but as a resource from photographers who actually know these spaces — the light, the layout, the hidden photo spots, and the little things that make each venue unique.

Whether you're hosting an intimate gathering of 20 guests or a grand celebration with 500 loved ones, Manitoba has a venue for you. And if you're still looking for your photographer, we'd love to hear about your day.


Complete alphabetical list of wedding venues in Winnipeg and surrounding Manitoba — updated for 2026


Ashgrove Acres

This venue seats up to 250–300 people with round tables. Precise capacity depends on whether your meal is buffet or table service. Choose from an outdoor or indoor ceremony space, with the convenience of two getting ready areas right on site. There are plenty of beautiful photo locations on the grounds — no travel required on your wedding day.

We've photographed several weddings here and love how the property's natural landscape gives us so many options throughout the day.
