Book your trip to tour the grounds and see why so many couples choose Métis Crossing for their wedding.

A Legendary Setting Along the North Saskatchewan River

Few wedding venues near Edmonton offer a backdrop like the one at Métis Crossing. The grounds run along the North Saskatchewan River, giving couples open green space, river views, and natural light that changes beautifully through the day. Ceremonies can take place outdoors along the riverbank or indoors at the Cultural Gathering Centre, where a stone fireplace and views of the river create a warm, memorable setting regardless of the season.

The venue works for weddings of nearly any size, from small ceremonies and elopements to larger celebrations with a full guest list. Couples can host both the ceremony and reception on-site, moving between indoor and outdoor spaces without ever leaving the property.

Destination Wedding Packages Built Around Your Day

Métis Crossing offers customizable destination wedding packages that bring venue access, catering, accommodations, and event coordination together in one plan. Rather than choosing from fixed tiers, couples work with the Métis Crossing team to build a package around their guest count and vision for the day.

Packages can include use of the Cultural Gathering Centre and outdoor ceremony spaces, a full banquet menu, bar service, audio visual support, a dance floor, tables, chairs, and linens, event setup and cleanup, and shuttle services for guests. Couples can also bring in their own entertainment or work with the venue’s preferred local vendor list for musicians and DJs. With the option to buy out the Lodge, campground, or Trapper’s Tents for the whole event, a wedding at Métis Crossing can easily grow into a full weekend for you and your guests.

A Menu That Brings Métis Culinary Traditions to Your Table

Catering at Métis Crossing draws on Indigenous-inspired cuisine prepared by an in-house culinary team, with plated dinner and buffet options available for the reception. Because the kitchen is AHS-approved and the facility is AGLC-licensed, all catering and bar service must be provided in-house. Couples are welcome to bring in their own wine, subject to a corkage fee, and outside cakes are permitted with a signed food waiver and advance approval.

Working with the culinary team, couples can build a menu that fits their guest list and the tone of their celebration, whether that’s a formal plated dinner or a more relaxed buffet style meal. A full catering menu is available to review when you start planning.

Services to Help Bring Your Wedding Together

Métis Crossing’s wedding packages include event coordination alongside the venue and catering, so the team helps manage the details of your day rather than leaving you to coordinate everything yourself. That support covers logistics like event setup and cleanup, audio visual needs, shuttle services for guests, and connecting couples with the venue’s preferred local vendors for entertainment or additional services.

Wedding guests also receive a special accommodation rate, and transportation can be arranged from the Edmonton International Airport or other points in the region, making it easier for out-of-town guests to join the celebration.

Honouring Métis Traditions, By Choice

As a year-round wedding destination, we offer meaningful opportunities to honour and celebrate Métis culture and community traditions as part of your special day. Couples may choose to incorporate Métis traditions, including blessings and other culturally meaningful ceremonies, creating a celebration rooted in connection, community, and respect.

This is never a requirement. Métis Crossing welcomes couples of every background, and the venue’s cultural roots are there for any couple who wants to draw on them, not a script every wedding has to follow.

Planning Your Day at Métis Crossing

Planning a wedding at Métis Crossing typically starts with a site visit, where couples can walk the grounds, see the ceremony and reception spaces, and talk through package options with the events team. From there, couples work through catering choices, guest accommodations, and any additional services needed for the day, whether that’s a rehearsal dinner the night before or a farewell brunch the next morning.

Because Métis Crossing sits close enough to Edmonton for a day trip but far enough to feel like a true getaway, many couples build their wedding into a full weekend, with guests staying overnight in the Lodge, a Sky Watching Dome, or at the campground. That extra time on the property tends to make the whole event feel less rushed and more like a proper celebration.

Métis Crossing is a place for everyone, and a wedding here means a legendary setting on the North Saskatchewan River, a menu built around real culinary craft, and a team ready to coordinate the details with you. Reach out today and start planning your wedding at Métis Crossing.
