Novella at Collective is a Winnipeg wedding venue for couples considering a modern setting that can accommodate both ceremony and reception plans. Its official website describes an open-concept venue with large windows, natural light, an outdoor patio and courtyard, and a flexible interior intended to act as a neutral backdrop for different event styles.

The venue is on the second floor of Collective Event Rentals at 12 South Landing Drive. Novella states that it provides approximately 2,715 square feet of event space and can host up to 140 guests. Couples may hold an outdoor ceremony in the private courtyard before moving upstairs for the reception, subject to confirming the arrangements available for their date.

This profile was last reviewed on September 30, 2026. It summarizes only details published on Novella's official website; couples should request the current package, pricing, policies and accessibility information directly from the venue before making a booking decision.

Services and specialization

Novella at Collective presents itself as a wedding and event venue for intimate celebrations and thoughtfully curated gatherings. For weddings, the documented offering centres on a bright, open-concept reception room and an outdoor courtyard that may be used for ceremonies. The official site describes the interior as modern and neutral, allowing couples and their vendors to adapt the room to aesthetics ranging from romantic to minimal.

The venue also hosts corporate events, private celebrations and styled events, but its wedding page specifically outlines a ceremony-to-reception flow within the same location. Couples can use the courtyard for the ceremony and then move to the second-floor venue for the reception. The website does not specify whether every booking includes both areas, so the spaces included in a wedding agreement should be confirmed.

Venue layout and event rentals

Novella is located directly above Collective Event Rentals. The official site says couples can access a curated rental collection that includes chairs, tables, linens, tableware, lounge furniture, decor, draping, dance floors and other event essentials. This relationship may simplify styling and logistics for couples who select items from Collective, but the supplied evidence does not establish which pieces, if any, are included in a standard venue booking.

According to the venue's rental page, events hosted at Novella receive exclusive rental pricing and do not incur delivery or pickup costs for rentals from Collective Event Rentals. Couples should still ask for an itemized proposal showing rental quantities, labour, setup, takedown, damage deposits, taxes and any other charges that may apply.

Service area and who it may suit

The official website describes Novella as a Winnipeg venue, while its home-page title refers to Oak Bluff. The published street address is 12 South Landing Drive, 2nd Floor, Winnipeg, Manitoba R0G 1N0. Couples comparing Winnipeg and nearby Manitoba venues may therefore wish to check the exact location and travel route when assessing transportation, accommodations and vendor logistics.

Based on its documented features, Novella may suit couples seeking one location for an outdoor courtyard ceremony and an indoor reception, a naturally lit room, or a flexible setting they can personalize with rentals and decor. The stated maximum of 140 guests provides an initial planning reference, but suitability will depend on the intended floor plan, seating style, dance floor, entertainment and other space requirements.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented features include natural light, an open layout, a private courtyard ceremony option and direct access to a broad event-rental collection. Keeping the ceremony and reception at one address may reduce transitions during the day, while the venue's connection with Collective Event Rentals may make selected rental logistics more straightforward.

Practical limitations arise from information that is not provided on the supplied official pages. The website does not explain the rain plan for courtyard ceremonies, accessibility between levels, parking arrangements, catering and bar rules, noise limits, end times or what staffing is included. It also does not provide sample floor plans showing how the 140-person maximum changes with different layouts. These are missing details to investigate, not evidence of a problem with the venue.

Pricing

Current venue prices are not published. The official pages supplied for this profile do not list a wedding package rate, minimum spend, deposit, taxes, service charges or cancellation terms.

The site states that Novella clients receive exclusive pricing from Collective Event Rentals and do not pay delivery or pickup costs for those rentals. It does not publish the discounted rates or establish that rentals are included in the venue fee.

Contact and booking

Novella's official website lists 204-489-1888 and provides an online enquiry form. The form asks for the couple's name, phone number, event date, guest count, event type, estimated budget and whether they are working with a planner or designer.

Submitting the form is an enquiry rather than evidence that a date is available or reserved. Couples should obtain written confirmation of availability, request the current wedding information and arrange a venue visit before relying on the space for their plans.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, confirm the capacity for the exact reception layout rather than relying only on the maximum of 140 guests. Ask how tables, a head table, lounge furniture, entertainment, a dance floor and service areas affect the usable capacity. Couples planning an outdoor ceremony should also ask when the courtyard decision must be made and what indoor alternative is available if weather conditions change.

A written proposal should identify the booking hours, spaces included, setup and takedown access, staffing, cleaning, security, insurance and all payment terms. Couples should also verify accessibility, parking, catering and beverage requirements, vendor restrictions, sound rules and the process for selecting rentals from Collective Event Rentals.
