Inn at the Forks

Some places have always been about people coming together.

The Forks is one of them.

In the heart of Winnipeg, where the Red and Assiniboine rivers meet, Inn at the Forks gives couples a modern wedding setting inside one of the city's most meaningful gathering places.

The Forks Ballroom can welcome approximately 108 to 200 guests, with contemporary interiors, signature lighting and access to a covered outdoor terrace. For something smaller, SMITH Restaurant offers a warmer, more intimate setting with rustic modern character.

There is a lovely energy to a wedding here.

Outside, The Forks is alive with people, pathways and the rivers.

Inside, everything narrows to one celebration.

The morning begins somewhere upstairs. Flowers arrive. Family members start appearing in the lobby. Someone is checking the time much more often than necessary.

Then suddenly everyone is gathered.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds can step outside into The Forks for photographs while guests begin cocktails on the terrace.

For a few minutes, Winnipeg moves around them while they stand still.

Then it is back inside.

Dinner stretches into speeches. The lights grow softer. The ballroom that looked so carefully arranged earlier begins to feel much warmer once people start moving between tables and the music takes over.

For couples who love the city but still want their wedding to feel connected to something larger than a hotel ballroom, Inn at the Forks offers the best of both.

A modern celebration in a place where people have been gathering for generations.
