Pavillion at Assiniboine Park
After having some issues with our initial event coordinator we asked to be switched to another one provided by Assiniboine Park. The new coordinator, Kyla, was wonderful. Very prompt in returning any emails or phone calls, answered any questions and did a wonderful job!

Dissapointing
I love coming to the Assiniboine Park and Zoo, but I need to be honest, was less than impressed with their customer service in planning a wedding there. Staff were not flexible at all. Would only meet mon-fri days.. not in the evenings or weekends (which is difficult when both you and your partner work mon-Fri day jobs), so we had to take time off work to go there. There were also many restrictions BEFORE covid that I found were unfair and difficult to work with (ie. decorating rules, very strict time restraints, no napkins because we weren't having a sit-down dinner. this was frustrating because we were told a Cocktail style and Food Station style dinner was MORE expensive). During covid when the Assin Park was closed, we were told by the Banquets Manager that she would keep us posted as to when they were open for events again. Well, they did not. We drove by the park and saw them advertising small events. We then reached out to them to set up a meeting to find out what was going on. We ended up cancelling our wedding there, and they seemed almost glad to not have to deal with us. They gave us a full refund due to covid, so yes that's great, but just didn't try to work with us at all whereas a small business definitely would have to tried not to lose business. Also we could have known earlier and made decisions sooner if they had actually reached out like they sad they would. I know couples who have planned weddings there successfully, but this was our experience and it was not positive.

Winnipeg's Hidden Gem - Gateway to the Arctic
We found this venue by accident and are so lucky we did! Not many people can say they had Polar Bears and Harbour Seals at their wedding. All this for what we feel, is well below the average cost of Wedding Venues in Winnipeg. Though there are a few restrictions which don't make much sense, the staff more than made up for any shortcomings by being absolutely professional and helpful throughout the process. Our guests rave about the venue and food still to this day. We highly recommend this venue to anyone tired of the typical ballroom wedding!
