Erin & Ross’ Outdoor Wedding at Billings Estate Museum

A beautiful October day, a stunning outdoor ceremony, and a garden party reception - Erin and Ross’ wedding at the Billings Estate Museum in Ottawa was filled with love, elegance, and personal touches.

The day began at the couple’s home, where Erin got ready surrounded by her family and even a furry family member. The intimate and joyful morning set the tone for their special day.

The couple shared a first look at the Billings Estate Museum before the rest of their family arrived. Their ceremony took place under a gorgeous tree, framed by a wooden arch adorned with a breathtaking floral arrangement by Love in Bloom.

Even with the challenges of COVID-19, Erin and Ross were determined to celebrate their union. They created a unique outdoor cocktail reception with individually plated finger foods served by attentive staff. To elevate the experience, they offered his-and-hers signature drinks while their guests were serenaded by the Luxe Duo, creating the perfect outdoor garden party atmosphere.

After the reception, the newlyweds headed downtown for sunset photos around the Byward Market and Majors Hill Park, capturing romantic memories in the heart of Ottawa.

Though their original plan was to marry at the Courtyard Restaurant, pandemic restrictions led them to celebrate at the Billings Estate Museum instead. They still enjoyed a private dinner at the Courtyard Restaurant that evening, making their wedding day both flexible and unforgettable.
