The snow is melting, the Canadian Geese are returning and the days are getting longer. You know what that means…Wedding season is just around the corner! Because the last couple of years have been uncertain due to the global pandemic, we suspect that the 2022 and 2023 wedding season will be busier than usual. So, if you plan on getting married over the next couple of years, it may be time to start planning!

Lucky for you, Edmonton is home to so many incredible event spaces for your special day. There are countless options for you and your spouse-to-be to get married, but we thought we would list a few of our favourites. Here are 15 unique wedding venues in Edmonton that you are sure to love. 

Winspear Centre

You may be familiar with the Winspear Centre’s shows and concerts, however the space also makes for an incredible wedding venue! Though it may seem like an unusual venue to host your big day, it is actually a first choice for many Edmontonians. The Winspear Centre has many different areas to book, such as the bright and spacious lobby, the entire concert hall, or the numerous other areas of the space. Your options are endless! The pricing for Winspear Centre bookings is transparent and you can find it out directly from their website. Take a look!

Royal Glenora Club

Though the Royal Glenora Club may seem like a no brainer when it comes to a central Edmonton wedding, the venue has recently stepped it up a notch (or ten). Over the past couple of years, the Royal Glenora Club has been expanding to bring Edmontonians an entirely updated facility, including three new ballrooms! With floor to ceiling windows, beautiful lighting fixtures and wrap-around balconies, the new Braemer Ballroom, Strathcona Ballroom and Glenrose ballroom will make for a remarkable wedding day.

Brew & Bloom Cafe

The Brew & Bloom Cafe is a new cafe in North Downtown that showcases a beautiful display of flowers and plants. It is a breathtaking place to grab a bite to eat, but imagine what it would look like as a wedding venue? Two areas of the restaurant are able to be rented for your special day—the main cafe that can seat up to 35 people, or their Secret Garden with a private patio that can seat up to 70 people. Believe us when we say that this location will absolutely stun your guests—and it will make for some beautiful photos!

Parlour Italian Kitchen & Bar

If you’ve ever been to the Parlour for dinner, you’ll understand why it is also a sought out venue to get hitched. Not only can you book the entire restaurant (or just the upstairs loft) for your special day, you will also have access to their beautiful courtyard style patio. And let’s not forget—the Parlour would do the catering, which means your wedding would have delicious Italian food!

The venue fits up to 150 seated guests and is also located above local businesses (Plum, Culina To Go, Brio Bakery, Iconoclast Coffee and Odd Company Brewing) where your guests can explore during the break between the ceremony and reception.

Enjoy Centre

Though this may not be a venue that is located directly in Edmonton, the Enjoy Centre is located only a few kilometres away in our sister city, St. Albert.  If you are looking for a venue that will WOW your guests (and yourself!), there is no better option than the Enjoy Centre. Its Moonflower Room is truly breathtaking—it features windows from floor to roof, greenery all around, string lights hung from the ceiling, white and gold furnishings…you name it. It holds 100-650 people, so any sized wedding is welcome! There are other areas in the Enjoy Centre that can cater to weddings of all kinds, however the Moonflower Room is our personal favourite. 

We’re diving into yet another busy wedding season—but we at TruHome can’t wait! No matter what venue you end up booking, we hope you have the most beautiful, unforgettable wedding day.
