Courtyard by Marriott Ottawa East

Courtyard by Marriott Ottawa East makes it easy to bring a big guest list together, with ballroom space for a large reception and hotel rooms close at hand.

The hotel is connected to a large event centre with 37 event rooms across about 43,000 square feet, including two ballrooms with no pillars blocking the view.

The largest ballroom seats up to 750 guests for a banquet and the second up to 700, while smaller rooms seat from a few dozen to around 80 for dinner, which suits a ceremony or a more intimate reception.

Full-service catering is prepared in-house, and free parking keeps arrivals simple for guests driving in.

For couples who picture a grand reception with plenty of room on the dance floor and a bed waiting nearby, Courtyard by Marriott Ottawa East offers a wedding with space for everyone.
