Your Wedding Day at Ashlar

Ashlar is one of the only small wedding venues in Ottawa designed from the ground up for 30 to 65 guests. 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.

The Ashlar Experience

Every couple married at Ashlar receives the same signature experience. The property is yours for the day, dinner is cooked on site by our culinary team, and your venue director and service team keep the day running from your first planning meeting through to your last song.

A $2,500 venue fee applies to every date. Your date then sets the price per guest, which starts at $169.

The atmosphere was magical.

I visited Ashlar Ottawa for the first time at their soft launch dinner last Sunday, and it was a truly lovely experience. The atmosphere was magical, intimate and slightly rustic with modern touches that beautifully suit the historic schoolhouse setting.

Common questions

Every wedding is priced the same way: a $2,500 venue fee, dining charged per guest at your date's tier, an optional bar package, and any additions. Gratuity of 15% and HST of 13% are applied to the full subtotal at invoice. Dining starts at $169 per guest, and most weddings fall between $10,000 and $25,000.

The menu and the inclusions are the same on every date. Only the dining rate moves, set by the day of the week and the season. Saturdays from May to October are Tier One at $209 per guest. Fridays and Sundays in that window, and Saturdays from November to April, are Tier Two at $189. Weekdays year-round are Tier Three at $169. Marquee dates and long weekends bill at Tier One.
