The Billings Estate Museum is an emblem of why love and weddings exist in the first place; family. We wed to start families and grow together and there’s no better place to start this journey than at the Billings Estate Museum. This historic site was built in the early 19th century as a family home by Braddish Billings. Four generations of the family called this place their home until 1975. Today, the Museum is recognized as one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Ottawa, offering space for diverse wedding settings.

A romantic wedding scene comes in different forms. It could be edgy and a bit rough around the edges or breathtakingly serene. The Billings Estate gives you both. The bright green grass carpeting the estate’s gardens, surrounded by vibrant, colorful flowers will give your wedding all the tranquility you need. But what if your love story has an edgy side to it? The grand indigenous trees with their outstanding grey barks and expansive branches provide a rustic background which is often used to create a unique pulpit where couples exchange vows.

A good wedding is incomplete without good photos for memories’ sake. The Billings Estate is an assortment of romantic photography backgrounds. A seemingly reserved wedding portrait with the historical family house on the background isn’t such a bad idea if you’re planning to start a family with the love of your life. The surrounding trees and flower beds also create an appealing background for wedding photography, Most importantly, there is plenty of natural lighting to boost your photo session.

The simplicity of the Billings Estate Museum beauty will remind you of the simple things that attracted you to your partner. The estate’s romantic scenes and sentimental value, coupled with its convenient location in Ottawa make it the perfect wedding venue, for a couple that wants a simple yet classy wedding.
