Cielo's Garden

Our Story: It is 12 years ago that we got married on this property. I had always wanted an outdoor wedding. To get married in nature was my ideal, but not necessarily the most practical. As I was planning it, I soon realized how much work was involved to rent the tent, tables, chairs, and then transfer them to and from the property sight - not to mention all the other details. We made it happen, and it was wonderful! When we decided to come back to Manitoba, we ended up moving onto the exact property where we were married! There was a spark in my heart to create a magical place for beautiful weddings and special events. Our Idea: As so many of us love the idea of having an outdoor wedding, we are often scared to take that chance, and rightly so in Manitoba! Our particular tent boasts of a transparent roof and side walls, allowing you to feel like you are truly outdoors while remaining protected regardless of the weather. The clear roof also creates a greenhouse type effect providing warmth during the cooler days. Engineered block-out shades have been installed to reduce the intensity of heat that is transmitted through the tent when the weather is hot. These can be pulled over during hot days and rolled back in the evening when it gets cooler. After one too many rained out ceremonies, we decided to create a space that would still allow the surrounding forest to be the "walls", but built a roof and a decorative stone wall to create a romantic chapel-in-the-woods ceremony space. Our Name: Cielo is the Spanish word for heaven, or sky. It is the name of our daughter who was, and still is, a gift from heaven to us. The word Garden reminds me of what God first created for mankind to enjoy - His beautiful creation.
