Maple & Rose Wedding Merrickville
Kendra and Reilley’s wedding has an extremely special place in our heart and one of those reasons is because their venue, Maple & Rose in Marrickville has an extremely special place in our heart. We are so excited to dive into all the details of this venue and this specific wedding day.
Kendra is a true NKIN girl through and through! She trusted us with every detail in her wedding day outfit vision, which is a responsibility we do not take lightly. Although Kendra was really a bright ray of sunshine every time she came by our off the rack boutique. We were thrilled when we heard they were going to working with Maple & Rose because you seriously can’t find more genuine wedding vendors.

Maple & Rose Luxury Accommodations in Merrickville Ontario
Just four words for you, private estate wedding packages. A true all inclusive wedding package that the couples of Ottawa and the Ottawa valley have been clamoring for. Estate weddings have been gaining popularity in neighbouring cities, primarily Toronto, but Ottawa has had a severe lack of similar wedding venues.
We actually first met their wedding coordinator Taylor when she walked into our bridal boutique for her own wedding alterations and it was an instant connection.
What’s Included?
- Two-night exclusive use of Maple & Rose.
- Accommodation of up to 16 overnight guests and up to 24 additional daytime guests on the wedding day. Both ceremony and reception spaces are located on-site, allowing for a seamless, unhurried celebration.
- A sweetheart cake baked by an award winning local bakery.
- A post-wedding catered brunch for up to 16 guests.
- A honeymoon suite of the couple’s choice thoughtfully prepared for their arrival.
- Luxurious welcome gift for the whole group staying at Maple & Rose.

Bonuses
7 ensuite bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, stocked coffee & juice, wrap around veranda, & multiple indoor fireplaces
Kendra & Reilley’s Wedding

We’ve seen the beauty of Maple & Rose Inn through many seasons, but i’m not sure what to say as their grounds in the fall have our heart. The leaves and wind were clearly paid actors. Their spacious grounds provide the perfect space for a small intimate ceremony while still having plenty of room for a tented reception!

The team at Maple & Rose have worked extremely hard to cultivate a list of exclusive preferred wedding vendors that will supply the couple with everything they could possibly need. We really appreciate the commitment to not only providing couples with vendors who will get the same level of service as they do at the inn, but for supporting other local artists, vendors, and creators. “Exclusive Maple & Rose pricing is available through a thoughtfully curated list of trusted preferred vendors for catering, bartending, photography and large rentals, with direct contact information provided.”They even offer extended vendor access for setup and breakdown, which is HUGE DEAL! It doesn’t sound like it, but it really is.
Our Bride had this to say
"I LOVE Kate and Taylor so much.. we actually had to change our wedding venue (which did food and drink, cake, decor, flowers, AV) 31 days out from our date.. when I tell you Kate and Taylor were my actual fairy godmothers I mean our wedding would not have happened without them.”
Kendra’s Wedding Dress

We know we say this a lot, but we are totally serious when we say she chose one of our FAVOURITE dresses at the boutique! This colourful embroidered gown is a exclusive gown named Ember from Sydney’s Closet.
Right from the designer “Introducing Ember, our gorgeous plus-size floral long dress that is not your garden variety frock. Be blooming beautiful when you wear this oh-so feminine floral to any special occasion on your calendar. The pumped up floral works for a formal and fun evening like Prom or to make you the best -dressed guest at garden or other informal wedding. Or be the modern bride who loves to go down the aisle wearing Ember as fashion alternative to the traditional wedding gown. You'll love the flattering Aline-style with 3D embroidered flowers that burst in multi colors on the strapless bustier bodice and the full skirt.”
Kendra made the dress feel just a bit more like her and said heck no to the puff sleeve that was included but opted to have it altered to an off the shoulder swag sleeve that fit her vision perfectly.
“Got my wedding pics back.. the dress was a MOMENT and I just had to share with you.
Honestly, I was SO nervous to go dress shopping, Reilly had to hype me uuup the morning of my appointment. Anxiety about being a street size 14ish, barely over 5ft tall I felt like this was going to be the hardest part of wedding planning. Enter Steph, my angel consultation, who immediately picked up my vibe. I felt like she just got me even thought I had NO CLUE what I wanted. This beauty was the first dress I tried on and I'd wear her every day if I could. Thank you all for making wedding dress shopping SO MUCH FUN.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me feel more beautiful, and like myself, than I have ever felt in my life. Shoutout Steph my angel queen!!!”
