Maison Boisvert - Parc de l'île Melville

Surrounded by the Saint-Maurice River and the natural landscape of Parc de l'île Melville, Maison Boisvert offers couples a wedding setting that feels wonderfully close to nature while remaining only minutes from central Shawinigan.

Weddings are specifically welcomed within the park's event-rental program.

Maison Boisvert provides one of the indoor options, while other spaces across the property include the inn lounge and seasonal outdoor tents.

That variety gives couples flexibility.

A smaller celebration can remain intimate inside, while a larger warm-weather event can take advantage of the outdoor setting and the wider park.

The property also offers accommodation, adding another useful piece for family and friends travelling into Shawinigan.

But it is the surroundings that give the venue its character.

The river, forest and enormous green space make photographs feel naturally connected to Mauricie rather than to a generic reception hall.

For couples who want the wedding to feel peaceful, personal and slightly removed from everyday life, Parc de l'île Melville offers a lovely combination.

Nature outside, everyone you love inside and enough flexibility to build the day around the celebration you actually want.
