Amazing Wedding Venues

Every couple wants their wedding day to be special and one-of-a-kind. There are many things to consider when making sure your wedding day reflects who you are as a couple from the venue to the food, the music, decorations and favours, and of course the atmosphere.

Algoma Country's breathtaking wilderness not only makes the perfect backdrop for your special day but we've got some very out-of-the-ordinary venues that will impress your guests! These venues are non-traditional and double as both the ceremony and reception sites and have options for both outdoor and indoor settings. If you're a couple looking for a place to elope alone, we've got a place for that too!
