We have secured a special rate for our wedding at the Le Germain Hotel, which is the building immediately adjacent to our reception at the Ottawa Art Gallery. 

Please book directly at the Le Germain website, using the code 62256449.

Here are some of our favourite things to do around Ottawa, which you can do the day before or after the wedding, or while the newlyweds are taking photos before the reception.

Near the ceremony venue

• Get a coffee at Black Squirrel Books & Espresso 
• Dinner at the Belmont
• Grab a drink on the patio at one of the bars in Lansdowne Park

Near the reception venue

• Walking through the courtyards of the Byward market, stopping at Oz Cafe or Social for a bite
• Tacos at the El Camino patio
• Cocktails at the Albion Rooms, lobby bar of the Novotel
• Oysters at the Whalesbone on Elgin
• Scenic walk & taking photos in the Major's Hill Park, with some iconic view of Ottawa

While we hope that you are able to arrange for an alternative to driving, there's parking available at Rideau Centre, one block away from the reception venue.
