“When my wife and I got engaged, we knew that we wanted to involve our large family, a significant group of friends, and not exclude children. We also wanted something downtown so that family from out of province could easily get there. Then of course who doesn’t want affordability and something unique? All of this seemed impossible and that we would have to make sacrifices. That is until we heard about the Discovery Centre and met Sarah and her team. Not only were we able to get everything we wanted in our wedding, but we were able to provide an amazing night for our family and friends who are still gushing about it weeks later.
I can’t give enough praise to the Discovery Centre team for all their guidance and work. That after a year of planning everything went so smoothly allowing us to fully enjoy our wedding was such a gift. It wouldn’t have been possible without them!”
– Hawkins Wedding, 2024
