Winnipeg is a big city, with many, many hotels and motels and a few bed and breakfasts. There is also at least one youth hostel. However, if you do not plan on hiring a car to get around we suggest choosing accommodations close to the downtown area, or along a major route. Melanie rates the transit system as very good - there is an online site that allows you to enter destination and origin and gives you details of what buses to take, so with internet access you can plan your day trips accordingly. You simply need to ask if the desired accommodation has easy access to a major bus route. And for the day of the wedding we would be happy to arrange for you to be picked up, taken around and dropped-off by local wedding guests!
The wedding ceremony will be in an area called St. Boniface (central west), and the reception is in the south west of the city. The Poole family is staying at a Bed and Breakfast in an area called West gate, where there are a number of B&B's in historic houses. This area is nestled in a river bend and is quite beautiful. It is within walking distance to downtown and is about half-way between ceremony and reception.
Melanie has a number of friends and family who are willing to host you! Please let us know if you would like to stay in a home rather than a hotel; it is no trouble at all.
And if you enjoy eating out you might be interested to know that Winnipeg has more restaurants per capita than any other city in Canada!
