Waba Cottage Museum & Gardens

Waba Cottage Museum & Gardens gives couples the feeling of stepping into a little piece of Ottawa Valley history for their wedding day.

Set on eight acres beside White Lake, the property brings together eleven themed gardens, heritage buildings and peaceful waterfront scenery. Among the gardens is a romantic garden, while the wider grounds give couples plenty of places to wander for photographs before and after the ceremony.

Weddings and special events are officially welcomed here, allowing the historic church, gardens and surrounding property to become part of the celebration. The lake adds another beautiful layer to the setting, particularly when the afternoon begins to soften toward evening.

The venue feels especially suited to couples who want their day to be connected to nature and local history rather than taking place inside a traditional banquet hall. Old buildings, garden paths and the water create backdrops that feel completely different from one another while remaining on the same property.

For couples who picture vows surrounded by greenery, photographs beside the lake and a wedding with genuine Ottawa Valley character, Waba Cottage offers a setting with stories already growing through it.
