Often described as a hidden gem in the middle of a vibrant city, Rockliffe Pavilion is famed for playing host to summer weddings. This pavilion was built in 1918 and it has retained its unique beauty enveloped in nature’s best features. Thriving green grass, tall indigenous trees, the Ottawa River and the Gatineau River shores, are some of the natural elements which make this venue a favourite for many couples.

At the Rockliffe Pavilion, the Ottawa River meets the Gatineau River and they almost become one, just as two love birds meet, tie the knot and become one. This symbolic meeting facilitated by nature should be enough to make you consider this venue for your wedding, but there is more to it.

Ask any photographer and they’ll tell you that the Pavilion is a photographer’s dream scene. The scenic view comprises of gracefully tall and short trees, nature trails and the charming waters of the Ottawa River. When the sky towers magnificently above these features, they provide an unmatched backdrop for your wedding photography.

We can’t talk about the Pavilion without dissecting the century-old and open-air Gazebo. Its architectural design takes you back in time to a quiet and peaceful world before modernity. It’s grey concrete walls and the classically designed roof will give your wedding a vintage feel.

If you’re looking for quiet natural scenes whose elements give your wedding a deeper symbolism, the Rockliffe Pavilion should be your first and only choice. This venue’s calmness and beauty give you an opportunity to reflect on the beauty of your love story.
