Outdoor Wedding Venues

Kenauk Nature is set in the Outaouais region, between Montreal and Ottawa, at the heart of a vast private wilderness. The Lac Poisson Blanc ceremony site sits about 1 hour 45 minutes from Ottawa, 2 hours 30 minutes from Montreal, and just 40 minutes from Montebello, making it an ideal setting for a wedding in nature near Montreal and Ottawa.

Wedding reservations can generally be made up to 365 days in advance. Since summer and fall dates are highly sought after, we recommend booking as early as possible.

Weddings are possible in all four seasons, though outdoor ceremonies mostly take place in summer and fall, when the natural surroundings are at their finest. A permanent wooden structure with a roof is available at the Whitefish Lake Activity Centre ceremony site to provide covered space if needed. More intimate weddings can also be arranged in cottages such as Papineau or Taunton.

Kenauk Nature offers an intimate, immersive wedding experience deep in nature, far from traditional reception halls. The territory has a strong conservation mission and was developed by nature lovers who wanted to offer a peaceful, private, and authentic setting. Couples also enjoy greater flexibility when it comes to choosing their caterer, their menu, and their overall experience.

Couples and their guests can book a variety of accommodations across the territory, including chalets and select glamping options, depending on the group’s needs.

The accommodations are spread across Kenauk Nature’s vast territory to preserve the privacy and tranquility of the setting. Some chaletes may be located up to roughly 25 minutes from the ceremony site. Additional accommodations are also available in the nearby village of Montebello.

Kenauk Nature welcomes both intimate weddings and larger celebrations. Events can generally host between 10 and 100 guests. It’s also possible to have guests attend for the day only.

The Whitefish Lake ceremony site includes a private space with a covered structure, a cement slab for an aditionnal tent ($), a small kitchen for the caterer, BBQs, a refrigerator, and washrooms.
