Almonte is a mill town on the Mississippi with some of the most photogenic event settings in the region.
Events by Faya is an Ottawa event décor studio serving Almonte and the surrounding area. We handle wedding and nikah stages, mehndi and mayon setups, birthday and baby shower décor, floral design and event rentals — delivered, set up and taken down.
What events in Almonte are actually like
Almonte's stone mill buildings and waterfalls give events a backdrop the city cannot match. The décor brief here is usually to complement rather than dominate — a heavy build in a stone mill room is a mistake.
Venues and spaces we work in around Almonte
Historic mill venues, riverside properties and the Almonte community centre.
We are most often booked in Almonte for: Weddings, receptions, anniversary celebrations and photographed private events.
The venues that define Almonte
Almonte's defining venue is the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum at 3 Rosamond Street East, housed in the annex of the former Rosamond Woolen Company. Its multi-purpose room seats around fifty and comes with folding tables, which makes it a genuinely good small-reception room — and a stone mill interior that needs almost nothing done to it. The surrounding farmland carries larger options: Evermore sits on forty-five acres outside the village, and Homestead 1880 is a hundred-acre farm with a renovated barn.
The practical constraint in Almonte
Historic mill buildings have limited power, stone walls that take no fixings, and access via stairs or narrow doors. Freestanding and modular is the only workable approach, which is how we build anyway.
Travel: 45 minutes from central Ottawa.

Good to know
Questions we get asked
Yes. Its multi-purpose room seats around fifty and the building is the annex of the former Rosamond Woolen Company, so the stone walls and mill windows do most of the work already.
We build light in rooms like this — a strong focal point and lighting rather than drape over the brick. Stone takes no fixings, so everything is freestanding, which is how we work anyway.
Yes — Evermore on its forty-five acres and Homestead 1880's hundred-acre farm are both inside our service area, along with the smaller rural properties around them.
Barn builds need planning around dust, uneven floors and limited power. We bring everything in one load given the drive, and we protect fabric from dust during setup rather than after.
Yes. Almonte is inside our regular service area and we deliver, set up and take down everything ourselves. 45 minutes from central Ottawa.
We do not charge Almonte clients a premium for being outside the downtown core — travel within the National Capital Region is built into our normal quoting.
Yes — a large share of our Almonte bookings are home events. Everything we bring is freestanding, so nothing is fixed to your walls, ceilings or floors, and the room is left exactly as we found it.
