About

On WeddingWire since 2019

Last update: October 2024

Centrally located just 10km north of Sylvan Lake, Alberta, 52 North Venue was created with an industrial-chic design for the modern wedding. Full weekend packages, on-site accommodations, and seven acres of natural scenery, including a winding creek and towering spruce trees, make this venue perfect for a mini-getaway. This location features a New York-style brick wall, high ceilings, and bright natural lighting to create a lavish and stunning wedding.

Facilities and Capacity

Open year-round, the facilities at this wedding venue include 3,500 square feet of event space, seating up to 200 guests, bar and lounge furniture, and an adjacent catering prep area. The event space combines industrial elements such as exposed brick and concrete floors, allowing you to dress up the room as you see fit. You can emphasize the minimalist aesthetic or add softer elements such as florals, draping, and romantic lights for your ceremony and reception. There is no additional fee for prep space use, and you can hire any caterer you wish. A beautiful attached suite on the second floor features styled vanity prep areas, a living room with a gas fireplace, a full kitchen, sleeping accommodations for up to 6 guests, and two full bathrooms, including a luxury soaker jet tub. The suite offers a large deck with forest views. An additional building steps from the main space includes a speakeasy style wedding party lounge and 4 private bedrooms for up to 8 guests.

Services Offered

52 North Venue offers excellent services to make the wedding day a complete success. These services include set up and clean up managed by the staff, which allows you to enjoy your event to the fullest. Outside vendors are welcome, allowing you to customize your event. Event decor rentals are available on-site. You can also use the overnight bridal suite, creating a perfect end to a day of celebration.

You need to book here

This is your DREAM VENUE!!! We had our wedding here in August of 2023 and loved this venue and every aspect of it! Everything from the venue itself to The Suite, The Vault and the outdoor area made our day absolutely magical. This venue provides a variety of gorgeous wedding picture options all at a single place. If you’re looking for a place that can relax your day with having your ceremony, cocktails and dinner all at the same place, THIS IS THE PLACE. Kat and Devon are an absolute dream to work with and the most accommodating people to work with, they will bend over backwards to make sure you have everything you need for your day. They have many pieces of decor, games and so much more at your disposal at very reasonable and affordable prices to match the venue and your theme. I would 110% recommend to absolutely anyone considering having their wedding here to hurry up and book it ASAP because you will not regret it.

Thank you Kat and Devon for making everything so spectacular!

It was a fairytale

The best way I can describe the experience we had at 52 North Venue would be a real life fairytale.

With all the research I did when looking for a venue NOTHING came close to 52North. Through Kat and Devon’s hard work they have thought of every possible thing you and your guests could need, as well as being extremely helpful with any questions and always being very responsive. They have truly created the perfect venue.

As they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

A venue & the experience of a lifetime

52 North Venue checked all of our boxes and boxes we didn’t even know we had! There is no where else I would have wanted to get married. Kat and Devon have created the most incredible space, and offer something truly different and unique. No detail has been missed, they have thought of everything and beyond.

Best Wedding Venue

Having out wedding at 52 North was absolutely amazing. The venue is stunning, all of our guest commented on how wonderful and beautiful the venue was, and Kat and Devon are amazing people. They really care about the venue and their clients. They were responsive, accommodating, helpful and kind. The venue is very well managed and it showed. We were really impressed that over the pandemic they reinvested into the venue, between our first viewing and our wedding (2019 to 2022) they really polished the venue and added some useful and beautiful features. I highly recommend 52 North for weddings or any function. You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely amazing

From the moment I saw 52 North Venue on social media I knew it was a great atmosphere and venue for us to get married. But then when we saw it in person it was absolutely perfect. Kat and Devon have thought of every detail when creating this beautiful space. We got multiple compliments on the venue on the wedding day, people said they have never seen a more beautiful venue. Since booking with 52 North in 2021 and getting married a year and a half later they have made multiple upgrades and new additions to the property. Not only is the property beautiful but Kat and Devon are so personable and helpful with every aspect of planning out the space and seeing my vision. I highly recommend booking 52 North for your wedding or event!

Just perfect

I got married at 52 North this spring and I cannot recommend it enough. We were originally drawn to the venue because it was so central for our Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary guests, and we found the decor to be so unique. The venue is absolutely STUNNING and our pictures indoor and outdoor are gorgeous. We felt like we had the freedom to run the wedding we wanted to, but Kat and Devon were always a phone call away if we needed help with anything. They were so easy to work with from the time we booked to the days following the wedding. We got so many compliments on how gorgeous and comfortable the venue was. It was perfect and it will always be a special place to us :)

Meet the team

Kat & Devon
Kat & Devon
Owner/Client Coordinator

Katrina and Devon are the husband and wife team that own and operate 52 North. Their collective knowledge and experience in event production, trades, sound design and music played a major role in the creation of the venue and everything it has to offer.

Both born and raised in Central Alberta, Devon and Kat met at Red Deer College studying music. They've grown into a family of 5 (or 6 if you count their dog Nash!)

Providing a luxury wedding experience is their top priority.

"Like you, we struggled to find a unique, modern venue for our wedding, which is why we custom-built 52 North. The 7-acre wooded property contrasted with the industrial reception space creates an experience like no other. Enjoy the relaxed feeling of a destination wedding event while being only minutes from Sylvan Lake."
