Kind Words
"52 North Venue was over and above what we expected. The property, the main space and the Vault were beautifully done and the bridal suite and Vault were great places for the bridal party to get ready. Great for photos as well! Our guests were impressed with the space and loved how unique it was. Each detail and set up was intentionally and perfectly thought out. We chose this venue because it was different from a rustic theme and really complimented our taste and style. Katrina and Devon are lovely to work with and are very communicative. We highly recommend having your wedding at 52 North Venue!"

"I can't say enough good things about 52 North Venue. It's a stunning venue, about 1.5 hours outside of Edmonton and just about 10 minutes from Sylvan Lake. The vibe is very industrial chic, and it makes for BEAUTIFUL photos. There is a suite where my bridesmaids and I stayed on Friday night, and another building called The Vault where my husband and his groomsman stayed. Kat & Devon are very kind and accommodating, highly recommend it if you're looking for something different!"

"My husband and I recently got married at 52 North and we are so grateful that we did. When we first got engaged we wanted to prioritize finding a venue that was modern, unique and represented us as a couple - 52 north was exactly that!I remember walking into the space and within minutes I knew it was where we were going to get married. Not only is the space absolutely beautiful, the owners Kat and Dev are exceptional to deal with. They were always upfront with expectations and in continual communication regarding changes to the venue or things that needed to be completed."

"If you want a venue that will "wow" your guests 52 North is the place to choose. If you want a venue that feels like home, and makes you comfortable during the stressful weekend of your wedding... 52 North is the place to choose. I cannot say enough great things about Kat & Dev! They were incredibly helpful, kind and so easy to work with. The venue itself is beautiful, incredibly well maintained and packed with amenities you don't expect to need but end up loving. Our families and guests were beyond impressed with the space and if I had to do it all over again, I would still want to have my wedding at 52 North."

Meet The Owners
Devon and Katrina own and operate 52 North. Their collective knowledge and experience in event production, trades, sound design and music played a major role in the creation of the venue and everything it has to offer.
Both born and raised in Central Alberta, Devon and Katrina met at Red Deer College studying music. They've grown into a family of 5 (or 6 if you count their dog Nash!)
Providing a luxury wedding experience is their top priority.
"Like you, we struggled to find a unique, modern venue for our wedding, which is why we custom-built 52 North. The 7-acre wooded property contrasted with the industrial reception space creates an experience like no other. Enjoy the relaxed feeling of a destination wedding event while being only minutes from Sylvan Lake."
