Campbell Farm and Food Discovery Centre provides a space where guests can converse while seeing the inner workings of Manitoba's fertile land – including a view into an actual working pig barn. At U of M's jazzy University Centre building, several venues are available including the Marshall McLuhan Hall, a gorgeous space that utilizes floor-to-ceiling windows to make the most of Winnipeg's natural light. The Metropolitan Entertainment Centre (The MET) by Canad Inns Guests will be charmed by how this national historic site harkens back to Hollywood's Golden Age, yet incorporates modern technology inside its elegant facilities. The Grand Hall features one of the largest screens in Canada, two loges (making an ideal perch for a grand speech), and a tiered floor plan that provides for a theatrical setting and optional dance floor. The Rooftop Patio puts you above downtown Winnipeg, while the MET's lounge is a great space to mix and mingle. Winnipeg Art Gallery The Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG) provides an artistic backdrop to your event unparalleled in Winnipeg. Its immense Eckhardt Hall is framed in gorgeous Manitoba Tyndall stone and can be utilized on its own for a reception or dinner, while there's also the option to combine it with the Skylight Gallery – a perfect location for a cocktail reception as guests peruse the various works of art on display. The WAG's rooftop sculpture garden/ outdoor patio also provides an excellent fair-weather location, being a favourite amongst locals for weddings due to its ample space and picturesque views.
