Whether it's a chic downtown Winnipeg location or a rustic barn, it's important to find just the right spot. Your venue can support your wedding with everything it needs or simply provide a lovely backdrop. Stunning views and fantastic architecture combined with the right lighting and decor create a memorable setting for your dream day. Our fairytale took place at The Gates on Roblin. For us, their rustic riverside country setting was perfect. They groom the property with a splash of elegance but leave enough rustic elements to create stunning views that suited our fairytale theme! Ray Louie, from The Gates on Roblin, says the "traditional" wedding seems to be fading. He hasn't heard "Here comes the bride" in years ... and can't remember the last time The Gates hosted an all white or black-and-white wedding. Ray notes that everyone wants something new, and the current trend is towards exciting lighting options and retro flair. And while the Edison bulbs and receiving lines may make appearances, sparkling wines have taken a back seat to cosmopolitans and caesars. While they generally see a 12-month lead time for bookings, Ray Louie has put together a wedding at The Gates in under a month when the circumstances both allowed and demanded it.
