Great venue

The college was very easy to work with. Laura was our coordinator and she was very flexible, especially when I was changing my mind often on what I wanted! They have a variety of location to choose from and we appreciated them showing us all of them.
The food was great. We had a buffet and our guests were positively surprise at the quality of the food.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience with the college and we highly recommend them.

The Ottawa Wedding Scene's Best Kept Secret!

My husband and I got married in October in the Nawapon space at Algonquin College. It was large enough for our 100 guests, plus it still fit a stage for the band. The room faces outwards into an outdoor private courtyard where we had our ceremony as well as a bonfire late into the evening. Laura Dimic, head of their events team, was fantastic to work with, and Chef Russell Weir served up a delicious three course meal. The serving staff were attentive, efficient and professional, and the AV team made sure our sound was perfect, indoors and outdoors. The pricing for Algonquin is so much less expensive than every other venue we visited. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to get married in Ottawa.

Event Coordinator was like having a wedding planner

Laura was our event coordinator and she made the experience so special and was so great with everything we needed. I felt great leaving many things in her hands based on her experience.
