Beaverbrook Art Gallery

Some rooms are beautiful because someone decorated them. At the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, the walls arrive already full of stories, and a wedding simply becomes the newest one.

The gallery sits in Fredericton, on the banks of the Saint John (Wolastoq) River, and welcomes private events including weddings in its gallery spaces and pavilions.

The Harrison McCain Pavilion is the heart of a wedding here. Views of the New Brunswick Legislature and a grand stone fireplace give the room a backdrop that blends modern elegance with historic charm, and it can host up to approximately 190 seated guests or around 300 for a standing reception.

For couples who want to be outdoors, the Courtyard brings art and nature together beside the river. It suits an intimate ceremony under the sky or a lively celebration under the stars, with room for up to approximately 160 seated guests or 250 standing.

The RBC Learning Centre offers a smaller, fully equipped space for up to around 64 seated or 80 standing, useful for gatherings that sit alongside the main celebration.

The spaces come equipped with tables and chairs, AV equipment, projectors and screens, microphones and podiums. The gallery works with a list of preferred caterers and offers on-site bar service.

The rentals team acts as the liaison between couples and their vendors on coordination details and helps with planning so the day runs smoothly.

Guests might also slip away on a guided tour of the Atlantic collection, the permanent collection or a featured exhibition, turning a reception into a chance to linger with the art.

For couples who want a Fredericton wedding surrounded by art, river light and history, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery offers a celebration framed like a masterpiece.
