If you are of a certain age, chances are your summer weekends were, at least in part, spent at weddings and wedding receptions. In the last three summers, I’ve attended no fewer than ten weddings in Ottawa, including my own.
But this isn’t entirely about weddings. It’s also about birthday celebrations, graduation parties, fundraisers, company retreats, family picnics, and any other excuse you can think of to round up the troops to have a good time in the last days of this summer or if you’re already planning for next. On any budget.
While Ottawa is pretty far from the epitome of good architecture, it has a number of galleries, museums, restaurants, heritage spaces, and parks. By no means are you restricted to your local Legion if you’re planning an event (although keep in mind that the legion often comes free for fundraisers).
