ByWard Market Reception

Let us take your group to the ByWard Market, Canada's oldest and largest farmers market. The legendary builder of the Ottawa's Rideau Canal, Colonel By himself laid out the street plan of the ByWard Market, designating George Street and York Street to be extra wide to accommodate the creation of a public market and gathering place. Fairmont Chateau Laurier recreates a "public market" in any of our Ballroom's with a ByWard Market reception, which offers a fun evening with great food, ideal for the opening or closing night of a conference, great for networking! To enhance the evening, your Catering or Conference Service Manager can also suggest live entertainment.

To enhance your guests' experience of the "public market" additional entertainment and decor can be arranged to include: strolling musicians, fortune tellers and Traditional French Canadian folk music. For more information and pricing on these and other entertainment options please discuss with your Catering/Conference Services Manager. Decor packages start from $1,500 and up and Entertainment packages starting from $800 and up.
