Richmond is a village southwest of the city with a fairgrounds tradition and the kind of rural property that suits a country wedding.
Events by Faya is an Ottawa event décor studio serving Richmond 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.

The venues that define Richmond
Richmond is a village southwest of the city with an agricultural society tradition and its own fairgrounds, which still host large-format community events. That gives it a genuinely different venue character from the suburbs — agricultural buildings with scale and no finish, where a build has to supply everything the room does not.
The practical constraint in Richmond
Barn and agricultural buildings have dust, uneven floors and limited power. We plan lighting around what the building can actually supply and we protect fabric from dust during setup rather than after.
Travel: 35–40 minutes from central Ottawa.

Good to know
Questions we get asked
Yes. Agricultural buildings are large, plain and echoing, which suits a substantial build — but they bring dust, uneven floors and sparsely distributed power.
We plan lighting runs in advance rather than improvising, and we protect fabric from dust during setup rather than trying to clean it after.
Thirty-five to forty minutes from central Ottawa. It is inside our normal service area with no surcharge.
For rural properties around the village we walk the ground before building, because level ground and available power are the two things that decide what is possible.
Yes. Richmond is inside our regular service area and we deliver, set up and take down everything ourselves. 35–40 minutes from central Ottawa.
We do not charge Richmond 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 Richmond 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.
