Great experience

Connie was fantastic to work with. We both were still very happy with the location change due to the accident that had the venue shut down (we were moved to a similar venue). Would 100% recommend going through FG for any big events!

October 2021 wedding

We got married October 2021 at Fort Gibraltar. I would highly recommend this venue to everyone. It’s so unique and beautiful, hardly any decor is needed. The food was amazing. One of the best wedding meals I’ve ever had. Our guests came to tell us through the evening how great it was. The late night poutine bar was a huge hit!
Connie, Fort Gibraltar’s coordinator was fantastic to work with. She always responded quickly to all my emails. She was so helpful planning with the ever-changing covid restrictions. She also stayed late into the evening on our wedding day and kept coming up to my husband and myself to make sure everything was going well and to see if we needed anything. She was readily available the entire day of the wedding to answer any questions and made sure the day ran smoothly and stayed on track. I have nothing but great things to say about Connie and Fort Gibraltar. This venue was absolutely perfect!

A Wonderful Venue and experience

We couldn’t be happier with our event. The food, venue, interactions, results were wonderful and our guests were wowed. Connie, your personal interaction is so valuable to a business like this. You made sure our needs were met, made great suggestions and came through 100 percent.
Thanks again for making our 50th Anniversary just perfect.

My Dream Wedding

This was our number one choice for our venue. My husband and I had an amazing experience at the Fort. It is a totally smooth operation and Angie is an absolute pro at what she does. We booked the DJ through them and used their decor recommendations. I would highly recommend it. The food was delicious and a good value. My dad paid the bar bill and his only comment was that the pice of soft drinks was a real killer. We would have been better off drinking more booze. No other complaints though.

Stunning Venue!

We just got married here Sept 2022. The venue was absolutely stunning and the staff were great to work with. Connie was very quick to answer all emails and was very kind to work woth. Everyone raved about the 4 course dinner, appetizers, desserts and poutine bar. Only thing to keep in mind is they host other events so we had to book our rehearsal a few nights before the wedding but Connie was great and trying to keep it as close to the wedding day as possible.

Friends and family enjoyed the ax throwing and raved about the other lawn games and s’more bar too!

Amazing venue for photos too!

10/10 recommend.

Easy to work with

We had our post covid wedding at Fort gibraltor and the staff and venue. We're nothing short of amazing. We can not thank them enough for going above and beyond for us on our special day. After years of dealing with so much uncertainty and unknowns. Fort Gibraltor made planning our wedding a breeze and were always quick to respond to any of our questions.

Fort Gibraltar Ceremony Venue

We had our Wedding Ceremony at Fort Gibraltar in August 2021, and it was absolutely perfect! The venue is well maintained, and has great air conditioning, so even on a hot summer day, it felt cool and comfortable. Decorations provided by the venue matched perfectly with the historical building, giving the space a beautiful rustic feel which matched our style completely. The staff were amazing to work with. They helped customize the wedding and did a phenomenal job organizing everything during the ceremony so the event ran smoothly. The venue also offers Zoom streaming, with great quality sound and video, so our out-of-country family could all attend virtually. I couldn’t recommend this venue more, it was an amazing experience the way through.
