Bleeks and Bergamot
Two elegant Ottawa-area event spaces: a four-season riverside venue and a seasonal modern farmhouse with lush grounds and flexible catering, seating up to 220 guests.
About
Bleeks and Bergamot operates two distinct venues in Ottawa's countryside. Bleeks and Bergamot Riverside, which opened in spring 2025, is a four-season space featuring an indoor ceremony room, grand foyer, and reception wing surrounding a landscaped courtyard. A 200-foot serpentine concrete aisle extends through riverside gardens down to the property's small river, creating a picturesque outdoor ceremony backdrop. The venue includes custom dressing suites and can accommodate up to 220 guests.
Bleeks Homestead, their original space opened in 2021, is a modern farmhouse venue with a 5,000 square foot stone courtyard, two reception halls, and a century-old dairy barn that serves as a stunning ceremony backdrop. This venue operates seasonally from May through October and accommodates up to 120 guests in the dining space.
Both venues offer no guest minimums, flat venue fees, and flexible catering through a curated list of local caterers. You stock your own bar (they provide staff and setup), or choose from their bar services. Day-of coordination is available, and couples get full access to on-site dressing areas, Aisle Planner tools three months prior, and dedicated team handling for setup, styling, and teardown. The team manages all decor coordination so you can simply enjoy your evening and collect your belongings the next morning.
