Gatineau sits across the river and we cross it regularly — Hull, Aylmer and the Plateau all fall inside our normal service area.
Events by Faya is an Ottawa event décor studio serving Gatineau 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 Gatineau are actually like
Gatineau is majority francophone and its events calendar runs differently from Ottawa's, with its own venue culture and its own suppliers. We work here in English and French and we are comfortable coordinating with Quebec-side venues.
Venues and spaces we work in around Gatineau
Hull's function rooms and the Aylmer community halls handle most of the events we set up, and the Casino du Lac-Leamy district brings hotel function space into range for larger celebrations.
We are most often booked in Gatineau for: Weddings and receptions, engagement gatherings, corporate events and family celebrations across Hull, Aylmer and the Plateau.
The venues that define Gatineau
Gatineau's venue culture is genuinely its own — Hull's function rooms, the Aylmer community halls and the Casino du Lac-Leamy district operate on a different calendar and with different suppliers from the Ontario side. We cross regularly and work in both languages.
The practical constraint in Gatineau
The practical Gatineau issue is bridge timing. The Chaudière, Portage, Alexandra and Macdonald–Cartier crossings all queue badly at rush hour, and a setup vehicle stuck on a bridge is a late setup. We schedule Gatineau builds outside peak crossing times as a matter of routine.
Travel: 15–30 minutes from central Ottawa depending on the bridge and the hour.
