Bleeks and Bergamot

Bleeks and Bergamot feels like the kind of wedding venue that has grown naturally out of its Ottawa countryside surroundings.

Couples currently have two distinctive ways to celebrate. Bleeks Homestead offers seasonal weddings centred around a modern farmhouse property, mature gardens, a white-stone courtyard and a century-old dairy barn that becomes a beautiful backdrop for outdoor vows.

The Homestead's reception space can accommodate seated dinners of up to approximately 120 guests.

Bleeks Riverside brings a newer four-season option to the property, with an indoor ceremony room, grand foyer and reception wing surrounding a landscaped courtyard. Outside, a long garden-lined aisle leads toward the small river for ceremonies beneath the open sky.

There are dedicated dressing spaces at Riverside and plenty of room for the wedding to move naturally between ceremony, cocktails, dinner and the evening celebration.

For couples who want countryside romance without losing thoughtful, contemporary spaces, Bleeks and Bergamot offers two very different versions of an Ottawa wedding.
