Memorial University Conference & Event Services

A university might not be the first place you picture for your wedding, but Memorial has some of the most unexpected celebration spaces in St. John's.

Couples can choose from several settings across campus, each with a completely different personality. Celebrate among the greenery of the Botanical Garden, gather beneath the enormous suspended blue whale inside the Core Science Facility or take the wedding to Signal Hill and the remarkable Johnson Geo Centre, where parts of the building sit within ancient Newfoundland rock.

There are spaces for ceremonies, receptions and photographs, allowing couples to build the day around the setting that feels most like them.

Memorial's Conference & Event Services team can help coordinate the practical details too, including wedding-day logistics, décor setup, signage and vendors. More complete packages with planning, catering and décor are also available through their event partners.

For couples looking beyond the traditional ballroom, Memorial offers a collection of wonderfully different places to celebrate, all with a little piece of St. John's built into them.

• Ceremony and reception in one place
