Description
Ashlar is where timeless romance meets quiet sophistication. As a premier Ottawa wedding venue housed in a restored 1890s schoolhouse, our heritage space was created specifically for intimate micro weddings of 20-70 guests.
Manicured gardens, a string-lit courtyard, and echoes of history create a setting both magical and grounded. With exceptional cuisine and understated luxury, Ashlar offers an elevated experience for couples who believe small gatherings can still be grand.
