We had our wedding at Fort Henry in April 2026 and couldn't recommend the venue enough. Even for an off season wedding with an indoor ceremony, the space and views were beautiful! We had about 80 guests and the space was more than sufficient and comfortable for everyone. The outdoor patio acces is a huge plus as well! And we're so excited to get more photos back from our pre-ceremony photo shoot on the grounds of the historic fort. Shaughnessy and her team are true professionals and they made us feel completely at ease and taken care of throughout the entire wedding planning process, which we did from a distance by the way. Bytown catering is also very easy to work with and did a fantastic job on the day of, providing excellent service and again making sure that we felt well taken care of as the bride and groom! Everything went sooo smoothly on the day of and our guests had a fantastic time. Look no further for the perfect wedding venue in Kingston! -

Kingston holds a special place in our hearts, and there was no better venue in the city to celebrate our wedding than the Great Hall at Fort Henry! Alex, Shaughnessy, and the entire Great Hall team were so responsive, welcoming, and helpful from the start and they kept in touch with us every step of the way through our planning process. They helped ensure everything ran smoothly and was perfectly in place, and were available for all our silly questions along the way. The cost of the venue was incredibly reasonable, and they're able to accommodate a variety of budgets. We loved that they have a contracted caterer, Bytown Catering, as it helped reduce some of the workload of needing to find a caterer, and they offer a selection of table linens and dishware for rental which helped reduce the number of vendors we had to work with/juggle. Our wedding day was magical, our photos are beautiful, our memories are priceless, and all of our guests still rave about our wedding a year later! -

My experience using Fort Henry as my wedding venue was nothing but positive. I had an excellent wedding. Alex and Shaughnessy were fantastic to work with and very responsive to emails. On my wedding day, it rained, and the staff were flexible in adjusting plans to incorporate an indoor ceremony. The venue was large enough to accommodate the ceremony indoors without too many issues. Our wedding had about 100 guests for the ceremony and 120 for the reception.
The venue’s washrooms and bridal suite were nice and clean. The venue itself was clean and modern, yet cozy. The windows overlook the water, providing a great view. The patio was well-maintained and polished. Additionally, the staff allowed us to take photos within Fort Henry, which provided some unique wedding photography opportunities. The sunset over Kingston also made for some stunning photos.
Overall, I would highly recommend Fort Henry as a venue. My only concern was with ByTown—the exclusive food vendor for Fort Henry. My advice is to be prepared to negotiate, ask questions, and request clarifications with this vendor. I wasn't afraid to question amounts on my quote, ask how much something cost, and request its removal if I found it too expensive. In the end, ByTown fulfilled all my requests and provided a fantastic catering experience. -

I hope everyone already knows Fort Henry is one of the BEST wedding venues in Kingston, but if you're wondering whether to book it, don't hesitate! This venue is absolutely stunning. The staff was amazing, and shoutout to Alex, who went above and beyond on our wedding day. The team guided us through every step leading up to the event, making us feel completely at ease. Our wedding day was perfect—we had an intimate ceremony on the patio, and even if it had rained, I was confident everything would have gone smoothly (also for being early May there were no bug or wind on the patio for the ceremony and cocktail hour!). The venue provided the best setting for photos, with an incredible setup. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thanks to Fort Henry, all the vendors, and the dedicated staff, we had the perfect day with no regrets. Everyone was lovely and committed to making our day memorable! -

We had the most wonderful coordinator Shaughnessy! She made everything go so smoothly, she checked on me multiple times in the day to make sure I was doing okay and if I needed anything, my dad uses a wheelchair and the building was accessible and Shaughnessy made sure she went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable! We got some incredible photos in the Fort and I couldn’t have asked for a better day! 1000% worth it -
