If you’ve been dreaming of a wedding that’s anything but cookie-cutter, this one’s for you. Industrial charm, rich Alberta history, and elevated style meet in one of the city’s most unique spaces: The Bell in Scona.
Housed in a historic brewery in the heart of Old Strathcona, The Bell is where timeless character meets modern chic. Think exposed brick, copper casks, string lights, and perfectly curated moments that feel like a true reflection of you and your partner.
We’ll walk you through how to embrace the brewery backdrop while still keeping things elegant. From chic table settings and stylish lighting to chef-crafted menus and signature cocktails served at the brewery bar - every detail is about personality, atmosphere, and celebration. If you want a wedding that feels high-style without feeling stiff - a little vintage, a little edgy, and a whole lot of heart - this is the venue, and this is the vision. Let’s make it real.
The Bell in Scona isn’t your average wedding venue – and that’s exactly why couples love it. Our brewery roots bring a bold, historic character to the space, while our design-forward approach and expert team add polish and personality to every detail.
Inside, The Bell Room welcomes guests with a moody glow, romantic lighting, and rich textures. There’s something deeply special about saying “I do” surrounded by Edmonton’s history. It feels raw, real, and unforgettable. But it’s also incredibly you – customizable, personal, and curated with your love story in mind.
Want something elegant and minimal? Done. Dreaming of velvet chairs, gold flatware, and wild florals? We’re already imagining it. Our team works hand-in-hand with every couple to blend the venue’s rustic roots with your personal chic.
And let’s not forget the beer. With our craft selection on tap and mixologist-curated cocktails, your guests will raise their glasses to more than just the happy couple – they’ll toast the experience, the energy, and the uniqueness of the entire night.
Because this isn’t just a brewery. It’s a love story with an edge. And it’s ready to be yours.
Here’s how you can combine the authentic atmosphere of a historic brewery with modern style to create a wedding that feels elevated, intentional, and entirely yours!
1. Set the Scene with Lighting & Texture. Use candles, Edison bulbs, and uplighting to highlight the venue’s features while adding softness and sophistication.
2. Mix Rustic Charm with Glam Touches. Pair exposed brick with luxe fabrics, bold table settings, or metallic details to bring balance and visual contrast.
3. Opt for Unique Seating & Decor. Swap out traditional chairs for mix-and-match lounge furniture or stylish bench seating to add warmth and character.
4. Build a Signature Cocktail (or Flight!). Lean into the brewery experience with a custom beer flight or wedding cocktail your guests will rave about.
5. Add Live Music or a DJ with Soul. Let the vibe of the room guide your playlist – whether it’s acoustic folk for dinner or funk and soul to fill the dance floor.
Planning a chic wedding doesn’t mean losing yourself in trends or perfection – it means curating a day that feels rich in detail, personal in tone, and seamless from start to finish. And that’s what we do at The Bell in Scona.
Our historic venue gives you the bones: industrial warmth, textured character, and visual wow factor. But it’s our team that brings the soul. We’ll walk you through every design decision, recommend local partners we love, and be there every step of the way to make sure your day is everything you envisioned – and more.
With The Bell, you’re getting more than a venue. You’re getting a storybook setting with an edge. You’re getting a planning process that feels as good as the celebration. And most of all, you’re getting a wedding day that doesn’t look like anyone else’s – because it’s yours.
Chic isn’t about being trendy. It’s about being timeless. And when you look back on your wedding photos, we want you to feel like you chose a venue that matched not only your style – but your story. Reach out to our team today to start planning the wedding of your dreams!
