Ashlar is one of the only small wedding venues in Ottawa designed from the ground up for 30 to 65 guests. It is an all-inclusive micro wedding venue in a restored 1890 schoolhouse in Munster, Ontario, about 25 minutes from downtown Ottawa. This isn't a venue that happens to fit smaller groups; every detail, from the courtyard scale to the kitchen workflow, was built around the intimate wedding experience.
We still have availability in 2027, and dates continue to fill up. 2028 dates can also be booked at 2027 rates for a few more weeks. Send us the date you have in mind and we will confirm availability within 72 hours.
