Art Gallery of Alberta

A wedding reception at the Art Gallery of Alberta puts the celebration inside one of Edmonton's most striking buildings, all curving zinc, glass and steel in the middle of downtown.

The gallery sits on Sir Winston Churchill Square in the heart of the city, and its private event spaces open to couples planning a reception for a small group or a large crowd.

The atrium and main hall are the showpiece, with ceilings that rise high overhead and daylight pouring in through the glass. Guests can mingle among the architecture and the exhibitions that make the gallery what it is.

For a more focused gathering, the Borealis Room and the Allan E. Scott Boardroom offer smaller rooms with audio and visual support. The gallery's 168-seat theatre, with its own lobby, adds room for speeches, a slideshow or a seated program.

Outside, the City of Edmonton Terrace gives guests an open-air spot to step out for a drink and some fresh air during the evening.

Food comes from the culinary team at the Edmonton Convention Centre, the gallery's exclusive catering partner, with fine dining menus planned alongside an events team that helps shape the day.

For couples who picture their first toast surrounded by art and soaring glass, the Art Gallery of Alberta offers a city wedding that feels bold, modern and unforgettable.
