Beautiful venue, fabulous staff

Had the best wedding ever at River Lounge, the staff is incredibly professional and kind. They made sure everything was just to our taste. The food was fantastic. The venue itself is timeless and beautiful, with a great view of the Ottawa river and gorgeous trees(perfect for our pictures) 10/10, highly recommended
