Bridal Shower

Amazing cocktail reception with sushi, lamb chops, Mexican taco bar, salmon burgers, duck, shrimp! Signature cocktails! Service was over the top and the old world setting with modern touches was beautiful.

As a photography team, we’ve had the pleasure of capturing countless events, but Windsor Ballroom in Montreal truly stands out! From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in an enchanting ambiance that perfectly balances elegance and warmth.

A nice venue for cocktail parties. The food was good, the drinks were decent and the toiletd were clean.

I had the pleasure of attending the 40th Anniversary Gala of the 2025 Miss Chinese Montreal Pageant at Le Windsor Ballrooms, and the entire evening felt like a fairytale.
From the moment I walked through the Peacock Alley, I was teleported into a world of elegance. The towering ceilings, rows of glittering crystal chandeliers, and the historic fireplace made the space feel grand and luxurious. It’s the kind of place that immediately impresses you and sets the tone for a memorable night.

The event was held in the Salon Windsor, and I was blown away by the room’s beauty. The tall gilded ceilings, mirrored French doors, and ornate chandeliers gave the entire evening a regal touch. It felt like I was at a royal ball!!

One of the highlights of the night was meeting Cathy Leung-Rosnuk, Miss Chinese Montreal 1987, and her daughter Tyra Rosnuk, Miss Chinese Montreal 2021. They were both so friendly and charming. It was my first time meeting pageants in person, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to such a glamorous world. The experience of attending this event and seeing these incredible women was amazing.

Le Windsor Ballrooms exceeded all expectations. The venue, the atmosphere, and the overall vibe of the night were truly unforgettable. I had a wonderful time.☺️

Gala Banquet
If you are looking for a unique and fabulous experience for an event in Montreal, the Windsor Ballrooms is a perfect venue! We host our annual gala and all of our guests have had a magical experience: the beauty of the venue, the quality of the services and the food. We love the all-inclusive concept: the venue has everything on site and made it very easy for us. A big thank you to Leilani, the event coordinator, who made us feel like stars and enjoy our evening. We look forward to coming back for more events!

The St. James Theatre is an exceptional venue—elegant, versatile, and committed to delivering an outstanding client experience. As a wedding planner, I’ve had the pleasure of working with their team, including a recent wedding featured in British Vogue. The venue’s architectural beauty is absolutely stunning, and the team’s attention to detail and flawless coordination truly set them apart. I applaud Andria for her expert oversight, Léa for her exceptional management and teamwork on wedding day, and Priam for his AV expertise and seamless execution. I highly recommend St. James Theatre for couples seeking a sophisticated venue that offers both breathtaking visuals and an impeccable experience. I look forward to many more events together!

I heard this place used to be a bank, and it really has a wonderful sense of history! I absolutely love the ambiance, with the old vaults and safes, plus the vintage elevator. The view from the second floor is breathtaking! If you're considering a venue for formal meetings or events, I highly recommend it. The staff are professional and the setting is truly unique.

Well the reception hall was bautiful, high ceiling, renaissance design, felt like we are in an european building. Love it,

By the looks of it, it used to be a bank. It's very spacious. Love old buildings.

Great experience. Beautiful venue, the architecture is stunning and very classy. Recommend for corporate parties, weddings and other demanding occasions.

Absolutely amazing! Breakfast was great, pool was a blast. Highly recommend if you have kids. Almost wish we didn’t have to leave.
May at the front desk and the other lady working with her are absolute sweethearts and went out of their way for me and my kids to make sure we had the best time! We will definitely be returning

We stayed at this hotel for two nights and had a pretty good overall experience. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and the room was clean with all the basic necessities provided. The bed was comfortable, which made for a restful stay.

We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub — a nice bonus! The hot breakfast buffet was excellent, with plenty of options to choose from. The hospitality team was very friendly and welcoming. We especially had some great interactions with Rose, Rodel, and Val — they really added a personal touch to our stay.

Great value for the price. Would definitely consider staying here again!

Customer service was excellent! Despite a very busy weekend, the front desk ladies went out of their way to accommodate us. Hotel was welcoming, friendly staff, free breakfast was great & very well stocked. Rooms were clean & comfortable. Will definitely be staying again the next time I am in the area

The staff was very accommodating with requests from our young family. Bonnie was able to confirm a room near the banquet room that allowed me and my wife to utilize our baby monitor while our little one slept, which kept us enjoying the event a little later into the evening. The breakfast in the morning after was also very good, much better than most continental breakfasts at similar hotels. Thank you!

We always stay here when driving from B.C. to my parents in Saskatchewan. It's clean, rooms are well appointed, the pool area is fab and the breakfast is plentiful...coffee is also delicious. This last time, we had a wonderful person check us in, he was accommodating, went beyond with customer service and gave us a 10 percent discount for our one night stay. Thank you. See you next Summer!

This place is great. In a former church. Cool exposed stone and brick interior. Fantastic food. Local craft beer. Very friendly staff.

We had our wedding at allsaints a few weeks ago and it was a truly magical experience! We booked very far in advance and they were always responsive to our emails and in helping us plan. Tianna was absolutely amazing to work with - she checked in with us multiple times the day of and truly made us feel cared about. The food and drinks were also phenomenal with multiple family members taking fresh bread home. Thank you again for the wonderful experience!

We had our wedding at allsaints in May of 2025. It was a fantastic experience. Tiana and the rest of the staff worked diligently and were very supportive to ensure the day went well. Everything was so easy with them. The guests loved the food and the comfortable space. Thank you!

Overall wedding experience was good at All Saints. It is a beautiful venue, that we were able to decorate ourselves the night before (downside was we only knew we could till a few days before the wedding).
However, there are many things that were negative. Communication with the staff was poor, due to having to wait almost a month for responses to emails. Also we were changed several times who our primary contact was.
On the day off my guests had complaints about coffee not being refilled, their drinks being taken away from the table and a very long wait in between the first and second course.
The staff didn't provide us with bigger plates and cutlery for the late night snack

I hosted my sister's bridal shower in the Chapel last week and it was phenomenal!! From the food, to the aesthetic, to the service - everything was perfect. The planning process was very smooth and I was able to do everything from a distance (over the phone and via email). I would highly recommend booking your small, intimate events at allsaints events space!!!

Went for their Tea in the Tropics event. Food was good, but not a lot for the price. It is in Carp, so the water tastes a little different.

Venue is nice with all of the plants, but not as tropical or lush as expected. The event information talked of "tumbling waterfalls" but we only saw the small one. Still nice, but adjust your expectations. All the workers were friendly and helpful.

We had the chance to celebrate a very special moment here with friends, as one of them was getting married on Friday and what an unforgettable experience it was! 🌸✨

The place is absolutely breathtaking: the flowers are real and perfectly arranged, the décor is stunning, and every detail is set up beautifully. Everything feels magical and extraordinarily unique. 🌿💐

The staff and service were impeccable. Their patience, kindness, and professionalism truly made the difference. You can feel how much they care about making every guest comfortable and every moment special. 🙌

Aquatopia is more than just a venue it’s an experience that will stay engraved in our memories forever. If you are looking for a place that combines elegance, nature, and flawless service, this is the place to be. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A beautiful spot for any kind of event always beautiful sunset perfect spot for photoshoot of wedding event.

I photographed a beautiful intimate wedding back in April at Aquatopia and it was stunning! The atmosphere was breath taking and so unique for this area, the staff went above and beyond for the couple and their guests... also helping me out if I needed anything.

You do have to understand the expectations when booking Aquatopia for your event, that it is warm in the venue as it is a greenhouse, so thats to keep in mind if you would prefer a venue with air conditioning but I still HIGHLY recommend the venue!

Wedding planning and organizing is extremely stressful, however Aquatopia and their staff are absolutely amazing. They make everything come together. The food portions were huge. They are all so kind and helpful. They go through everything with you step by step. I just had my wedding here with 80 people, our coordinator - Kayde was absolutely amazing. There was not one issue, not one mistake. Everyone that went even quoted about how amazing the atmosphere, the food, the decor. Our wedding coordinator Kayde also helped us with finding anyone we needed, they did all the decorating, and clean up. Never had to lift a finger. Great pricing. Highly recommend if you are planning on getting married - this is the dream.
And ask for Kayde to be your coordinator!

Bridgeland Riverside is truly one of the hidden gems of the city. Nestled along the river, this neighborhood offers a perfect blend of urban convenience and natural beauty. The area is incredibly walkable, with tree-lined streets, charming houses, and plenty of green spaces.

One of the standout features of Bridgeland Riverside is its vibrant community feel. The neighborhood also boasts an impressive selection of restaurants and cafes, catering to diverse tastes and providing a range of dining options from cozy brunch spots to upscale dining experiences.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the access to the river and nearby parks is unbeatable. There are plenty of trails for walking, running, or biking, and the scenic views make it a pleasant experience year-round. The proximity to the Calgary Zoo and Telus Spark Science Centre is an added bonus, making it an excellent location for families.

Public transportation is easily accessible, and the commute to downtown is quick and convenient, which is ideal for professionals working in the city. The community is also very pet-friendly, with several parks and walking areas where pets can enjoy the outdoors.

Overall, Bridgeland Riverside is a fantastic place to live or visit. Its blend of urban amenities, natural beauty, and strong community vibe make it a standout neighborhood in the city.

Was here at a night market. Lots of interesting vendors and food. It looks like a great and active community association too.

Interesting place. Long narrow structure with another space upstairs. Outside is family friendly with green spaces, playground, and a friendly guy selling hot dogs.

Fantastic sense of community, easy acces. Nice mix of dwellings and population age. And they have Little Super Dangerous play on occasion!

Vibrant community with lots of events and options for adults and kids. The market thats happens at the assiciation on Thursdays is super nice with great options.

Amazing service. Very patient. Lots of options

Lisa and Ani have always been extremely helpful, quick and efficient anytime Ive needed anything from Cadeaux Nic-Nac.
Always there to guide me through my options, and available to help in any way that they can.
For all your events/occasions, do not hesitate to contact them. They will never disappoint!!!

My mother planned a Bridal shower for me this past weekend and Lisa designed a gorgeous poster for photos as well as custom bottle wraps for our party favors. We got sooo many compliments and guests asking where we ordered from. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! Thanks again Lisa, everything was perfect !

I used Nic-Nac for my wedding's seating chart this past weekend and the experience was seamless! Love working with them and the final product came out amazing!

Worked with Lisa for my bridal shower and wedding invitations. She is very sweet and truly talented. Her work speaks for itself.She took her time to show us what she has and what she can make. I highly recommend her to everyone.
Thank you Lisa

We've used Crescent Heights Community Association multiple times for our events, and every experience has been wonderful! The communication is always clear and easy, and the space is perfect for our needs. Highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a welcoming and well-organized community space!

I booked a viewing of the space for February 20 at 830am. It was confirmed in writing via email. I showed up at 8:15 and waited until 9am. No one showed up. I called three times, but it went straight to a voicemail. Sent multiple email messages as well to which I still have not received any response too (it’s now Friday morning). Zero communication as to what happened on top of me sitting there for 45 minutes waiting for Paul. Appears to be a beautiful venue, but the communication is horrible. Definitely would make me nervous to actually book my wedding here. What if I can’t get in touch with anyone to access the space ON my wedding day?! Currently, I would not recommend this venue to anyone.

The community hall is not big enough for a big event but good enough for a relatively small event. The washroom is also small and very compact. However, it's got an ample parking lot. Depending on the event and table arrangements, occupancy can be between 50 - 75 people.

Neat little place, probably the liveliest market I've been to. The whole space was buzzing with a great assortment of vendors - clothing, food, jewelry, art of many forms. I am never in this part of town but my visit here was delightful.

I think it's a fantastic community hall.
The president is very friendly and welcoming.
Thanks for the tour

Visited for our anniversary dinner. We made our reservation a couple of days ahead of the actual date, so we could check-out the live jazz on the patio. Overall, a great experience. The food was excellent. The service was great. Because the restaurant was busy, there were some lags in service times, but not too bad. The live music was a bonus. We shared an appetizer and each had different mains. The quality of the food was excellent. Would highly recommend Deane House.

Such a beautiful and classic place! We had one of the private dining rooms for our party and it was beautifully decorated and had a nice library with classic vibes. The server was very nice and attending and greeted us warmly with refreshing drinks. We had a three course meal and they were all amazing. I specially loved the chocolate cherry dessert.

Loved the set up, lots of people though very noisy. Which is fine but I could barely hear my aunt from across the table. We went for afternoon tea, cost about $130 not including gst and tip. The tea was good, the scones were warm and very tasty. The clotted cream was good and the peach jam was phenomenal. The tray consisted of a lot of different foods. My favourites were the sandwich, curry pie, raspberry tart, and ginger and rhubarb tart. The food was either very bland or extremely salty? Especially the salt! My aunt hardly touched most of the food and I tried to but I was drinking tons of water after each bite. You think they'd try their food before serving it. Very disappointing at the price you pay. I mean everything was salty even the cheesecake. Was a once in a lifetime experience, 100% could've been better. The people who served us were lovely and everyone was kind. Just disappointed in the food.

We have been to The Deane House a few times, this was our second time enjoying the Chef's Tasting Menu. Absolutely divine from start to finish, especially considering I have an egg allergy! Our server Liam was so welcoming and took great care of us. He ensured the Tasting menu would be an option, given my allergy, by clarifying with Chef John Beddoes. Thank you so much for making sure I had the most delicious dinner! Erin was also a lovely part of our evening, thank you for everything!

Was a beautiful dinner at sunset, cannot wait to come back!

We finishes our birthday celebration trip to Alberta with dinner at Deanne House.

We were served by Liam and were surprised by a birthday card signed by the entire crew on arrival.

We especially loved the mussels (the birthday girl actually wanted seconds but I didn’t allow her to), the scallops and asparagus were also wonderfully prepared.

We finish it off with the steak and pork chop as our main. We enjoyed the nice atmosphere during the evening.

TIP: The main entrance is facing the Main Street and one must pass through the garden to get there. See video if you are not sure which building it is!

You lost us when we arrived at 815pm and told valet is full. Have never stayed at a hotel where valet is full. No one helped us with luggage. Took 30 minutes to park and get back to hotel. Room 366 - room is small and bathroom is tiny. No water pressure in shower. Morning breakfast in gold level excellent. Hotel - great location. We get with an old hotel there is only so much you can do with rooms / bathrooms. But the poor service in valet and check in should be an easy win. Housekeeping excellent. Service within Gold excellent.Shouldn’t have to hike across the city the next morning to get valet - and even then had to wait 15 minutes to see if valet was now available.

We were in awe of the facility, but the people made the stay. They were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The room was nice and my key requirements of a good shower and bed were met. I would have liked having a refrigerator and drawers for clothing; however, we were supplied with two luggage racks and robes. The room was very quiet. All and all, we would definitely stay again. Ottawa is a beautiful place to visit.

First time staying at this location and will likely be the last. Service was good and everyone was friendly. Location is nice but parking is an issue. The value for the cost is 0/5 ⭐️
The room was musty, no mini fridge, no bathroom fan and the ice machine on our floor was out of service for two days.
I’m sure there are many other nicer hotels for half the cost.

I stayed at the Château Laurier while in Ottawa for a Rolex appointment inside their jewlery store in the hotel, and at first I was very impressed. The property is beautiful, and during my stay I spent thousands of dollars, including meals at their restaurant. In 2 days Unfortunately, the way I was treated afterwards completely ruined my opinion.

Because my credit card was being replaced we did a balance transfer to a travel visa, I had a small $80 balance remaining. I explained this clearly, reassured them I would pay as soon as my new card arrived, and even offered alternative methods like debit payment, e-transfer or a certified cheque. Despite this, I received repeated and pressing messages with shifting “expiry dates” to settle the account.

For a guest who traveled for a luxury appointment in their hotel and spent generously during my stay, being treated with suspicion and essentially harassed over such a small balance was extremely disappointing. Instead of being met with trust and understanding, I was made to feel like I was trying to avoid payment, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

It’s sad, because I had looked forward to staying here again for future visits to Ottawa. But after this experience, I won’t be returning. A hotel of this reputation should know how to treat loyal guests with respect, not suspicion.

I stayed at the Fairmont Château Laurier for two nights and really enjoyed my time there. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Ottawa, walking distance to Parliament Hill, museums, and lots of shopping. The hotel itself is full of history, which makes the experience feel unique.

My room was clean but on the smaller side, which reflects the older, historic style of the hotel. Some rooms have amazing views of Parliament Hill, so it is worth asking about that. The overall ambiance feels luxurious and elegant.

The on-site bar and restaurant are lovely, though quite expensive, and the hotel also has a nice indoor saltwater pool. Parking is a challenge as valet service is very limited and was already full when we arrived, so the only option was to use nearby pay-as-you-go lots. There is also no airport shuttle service.

I did not feel that the staff went out of their way to make our stay feel special the way they have at other Fairmont locations, but overall I still enjoyed it. It is definitely on the pricey side depending on the time of year, but if you want history, luxury, and the best location for walking around Ottawa, it is hard to beat.

Came here for a wedding last weekend and the venue was absolutely gorgeous. Tight, intimate space with a large dance floor. 100% recommend. The drive up to it on the race track was also a very cool experience.

One of the Best event venue in the heart of Montreal.

We just had our wedding this past weekend and all we can say is WOW. This venue is one of the most gorgeous in all of Montreal, from the lighting, to the indoor design, to the architecture and of course, the garden. We have nothing but absolutely positive things to say about our experience with the rental managers. All of our guests were blown away by the atmosphere. If you are considering this place as a rental for an event - do it. We will remember our special day for a lifetime, and it happened flawlessly. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

There's a reason why this is one of the most sought after wedding venues in Montreal. It's so gorgeous, the setting is incredible - you feel like you're out in the country but through the trees you have this breathtaking view of the city. Parc Jean-Drapeau's staff are very attentive and helpful. It's well worth the cost to rent this space. It's unreal to think how many hundreds of thousands of people likely dined in that room during Expo 67, how many millions passed through the Canadian Pavilion, how many millions more walked around the site. It makes whatever event feel like a part of history. The Inuit art was striking and engaging too, and it created this remarkable contrast with the high modernism of the space which was 'linked' by the interior wood floors and finishings, and complemented by the natural settings outside. Old, new, antique, modern, rustic, urban - and all at the same time and in harmoney with one another. What could be more Montreal, Quebecois, and Canadian than that?

Horrible service and, more importantly, both parking attendents and their manager utterly lacking in empathy. Attended an event here and we had a guest in the party whose electric car needed a charge since nearest charger in the Casino was out of service and after driving around looking for charger they only had enough charge to drive 5 km. La Toundra refused to allow him to charge the car so it would not require a tow while being a guest at the event and told him that the charger is for employees only even though no employee was charging 10 pm two charger spots. And this was for a paying customer. At the end, this poor individual had his car towed as their battery ran out, their while two kids screamed in their baby seats, which lay on the side of the road while they waited for their cab at 10 pm. Quebec hospitality at its best.

I attended my friend’s wedding at Château Royal in Laval and was blown away. The venue is gorgeous, the ballroom elegant, and the atmosphere perfect for a celebration. The staff were attentive and professional, making sure everything ran smoothly. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I’d highly recommend Château Royal for weddings or special events.

From the very beginning of planning our daughters Sweet 16 with Tina to the day of the event with Helene and Peter on-site, every little detail was expertly managed. On the day of the celebration, Helene was a tremendous help with our morning setup, while both her & Peter ensured we had everything we needed during our party. This was our first event at Chateau Royal, but certainly not our last! I just wish I had found Chateau Royal sooner!

The hall is nice, clean but hasn't had a revamp or renovations in years. Looks the same as it was in 2010. Other halls in Laval have invested more proactively. Aside that service is good food (varies per venue) was ok; could be improved.

My family hosted my baby shower at Chateau Royal last Sunday and I was beyond satisfied with this venue. The food (lunch buffet), room, and service were exceptional! I received many compliments from the guests regarding the service and buffet quality. I am so happy they decided to host the event there as it made the day even more memorable! Thank you Chateau Royal :)

Very nice and spacious venue. Everything is clean and the staff is very nice and efficient in their way of working. They don't seem to provide chairs and tables though, which is a bit of a bummer.

I was at Le Madison in April 2015. The place was incapable. Everything was great except we had to wait for a bit for the room to be accessible. I recommend this place for any event. Furthermore, there is plenty of parking space at the back of the building. Thanks to the staff for the service.

It was a very amazing wedding we dj at with my cousin Marco at my cugins wedding amazing food and service wow thank you. Michael Ponari ambassador sale repp Armani luxury Parfums

Wow amazing food and service we had I was with my cousin performing for a Xmas party MF entertainment Marco ferri Dj +me very nice party we had

As a Wedding DJ & CORPORATE EVENT DJ company, we regularly perform at the Madison. It is always a pleasure to see the wonderful staff & members of the organisation. The service and food is fantastic. I always appreciate working at this venue . We recommend it for all your weddings and corporate events. Beautiful halls, valet parking...

Beautiful beautiful place for a wedding...Too classy...I promise you will not be disappointed...Deserves a lot more than 5 stars

The event venue is a hidden gem. On the outside it's unimpressive. The inside decor and atmosphere are impressive, however!
It's small compared to other venues, so it can fill up very quickly. The service was exquisite, and the staff very professional.
My only suggestion is let the guests know that there is more room for waiting upstairs.

I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at Maison Principale on Saturday, May 17, and I can’t say enough good things about this venue. It’s absolutely beautiful—every corner offers a perfect backdrop for photos, from the elegant interiors to the thoughtful architectural details.

The space was spotless and so well maintained, which makes a huge difference on a fast-paced wedding day. I also want to highlight how lovely it was to work with Natasha—she was so accommodating and kind, and even welcomed me to visit the venue ahead of the wedding to get familiar with the space. That extra step helped everything run even more smoothly on the big day.

The entire team at Maison Principale was professional, attentive, and truly dedicated to creating a seamless experience for everyone involved. I’m already looking forward to the next event there!

As a Montreal Wedding Content Creator, I’ve seen many venues. Maison Principale is absolutely beautiful with its high ceilings, beautiful chandeliers and large space. Not to mention the team there is great! Here are some pics from a wedding I worked at Maison Principale. Ceremony & reception

We’ve had the pleasure of filming and photographing weddings at Maison Principal, and every experience has been fantastic.
The venue is elegant, spacious, and perfect for capturing amazing photos and videos. The staff is professional and easy to work with, which makes everything run smoothly. Highly recommend for weddings and events!

Studio A Plus

We had such a fantastic experience at MP for our wedding. From the moment we visited, Gabriella G. and Natasha M. made us feel comfortable and at ease. They handled all our special requests and were in direct contact with all our vendors to make sure our day would be as magical as imagined. Gabi B. from Brera Catering was also so pleasant to work with, and accommodating from our initial tasting months prior to the wedding to our midnight table.

Highly recommend trusting MP for your next event, you won’t regret it!

We are so happy to have worked with Plaza Volare for our wedding! Karina and her team did absolute wonders — from day one, they were flexible, collaborative, and truly committed to bringing our vision to life. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism, and they worked seamlessly with our vendors to make sure everything came together perfectly.

The venue looked incredible, the service was outstanding, and the food was absolutely amazing. We received so many compliments from our guests — they especially loved the midnight table burgers (people are still talking about them!). Karina, thank you and your entire team for making our day so special, stress-free, and unforgettable. You truly delivered excellence on every level, and we’re so grateful.

I’ve been to a couple of weddings at Plaza Volare, and every time it’s been absolutely amazing! The food is always delicious, the atmosphere is electric, and the service is top-notch. Everyone I know who has worked with Karina had nothing but great things to say — she goes above and beyond to make sure the event is unforgettable. If you’re looking for a venue where the party’s guaranteed to be a hit, this is it! 🎉✨

I came here for a group event of about 70 people on a Sunday in March.

The room itself was nice and clean but the temperature was very cold. There was a temperature control on the wall and some guests were trying to increase it to 20 or 21 degrees but employees would lower it to 18...guests were so cold they were grabbing their coats and scarves. Eventually someone spoke to an employee to ask if it can stay at 20 and they allowed it.

I had asked one of the waiters in English what the hors d'oeuvres were that he was handing out and he did not understand I had to repeat myself in French. Someone who works in the service industry should be able to speak English and French. I

also included a photo of one of the hors d'oeuvres, a meatball, which was completely raw in the middle. I showed a waiter and he took it away and I never heard back about it. The rest of the food was fine but that put a bit of a damper on the food for the rest of the guests at my table.

I've heard a lot of positive reviews of this place but my experience was disappointing. Not sure I would consider hosting a event here myself.

Plaza Volare is truly a full-service venue that caters to every wedding need! As photographers, we love capturing special moments in their beautifully designed rooms, each offering a unique backdrop. The staff is not only incredibly friendly and helpful to us, but they also go above and beyond for couples, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience.

A special shoutout to Karina, Marco, and Peggy—they always make everything perfect and are such a joy to work with! Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail make our job so much easier. If you're looking for a spacious venue that handles every detail and creates a stunning setting for your big day, Plaza Volare is the perfect choice!

We had our wedding at this venue last weekend, and honestly, the experience was incredible from start to finish—way beyond just the wedding day itself.

In the months leading up to it, the staff was so present and attentive. They were always a step ahead, checking in, helping us navigate the process, and making sure everything was unfolding the way we had envisioned. What we appreciated most was how they shared their advice without ever making us feel like our ideas were wrong or unrealistic. They’d give little tips or insights based on their experience doing this every other weekend, but they always made it clear that the final call was ours—and they’d make it work, no matter what we decided.

They were also super proactive. We never had to chase them down or ask when our next meeting was. They guided us step-by-step, from meal preferences to setup decisions, which really helped reduce any pre-wedding stress. It honestly felt like they were just as invested in the experience as we were.

They humanized the whole process too; it didn’t feel transactional at all. They’d remind us to be present, to enjoy the moment as a couple, and that little touch of care made all the difference. You can really tell they love what they do.

On the actual day of, everything ran perfectly. The staff was always nearby, gently guiding us through the timeline—but in the most calming and subtle way. The maître d, the head waitress, and all the other staff were so hardworking, kind, and personable. Throughout the night, they kept checking in on us and bringing us food to make sure we were eating enough and actually enjoying the night.

The coordinators also made our wedding feel like more than just an event they had to run. Right before walking down the aisle, they stopped to tell us how great we looked and gave us words of encouragement before coordinating and timing everything.

We had both our ceremony and cocktail hour at the hall. Originally, we had planned for it to be outside, but the weather didn’t cooperate. They calmly shifted everything indoors, reassured us that it would still be beautiful—and they were right. The setup was stunning and felt just as special as what we had originally pictured. The way they executed the backup plan was so smooth and professional.

The food was also next level. People are still texting us a week later telling us how they cleaned their platters. The braised beef was a major hit, and guests kept complimenting both the quality and the quantity of food—which can be rare to nail both. They were also on top of being attentive to the allergy and dietary restrictions of all our guests, which was very important to us—and our guests really appreciated it.

Another huge help was how they coordinated with our vendors the week of the wedding. We didn’t have to worry about who was arriving when or what was being set up—they handled it all, which gave us the space to actually enjoy the experience.

Having the hotel attached to the hall was such a lifesaver. We got ready there in the morning, which made the whole day flow so much easier—no travel stress, no rushing. And it allowed our guests to let loose, enjoy themselves, and stay overnight. We even hosted a brunch the next morning at the Resto, which was such a fun way to wrap up the weekend. The bistro staff was also amazing—super friendly and genuinely helpful.

All in all, this team gave us the wedding we had dreamed of without the pressure and chaos we thought would come with it. They were a dream team, and we would 100% recommend this place to anyone planning a wedding. It’s literally the one-stop shop for your wedding in Montreal—you can’t go wrong!

A banquet center in the heart of the city that's rather unassuming from the outside, but with a grand interior. The halls are huge, and the arrangements are very satisfactory. The lobby is big, clean and with a shiny floor. The food that's catered is delicious. The restrooms are nice and clean. Parking is adequate. However,  the servers, in general, could be a bit more friendly and courteous.

Nice banquet hall. Was there for an event organised by work. Nice and friendly staff

One of the best venues and halls for special events. Located across from Mooney's Bay, this newly upgraded and updated banquet hall boasts a large seating capacity, modern interior design and an upgraded kitchen. Beautifully decorated and spacious, and can host smaller to.larger groups for business events, as well as weddings and special occasions. Ample parking adjacent to the facility. You will not be disappointed!

My family and I went to the Lebanese festival this year and it was a blast. Music, dancing, rides for the little one, food, food and more food. It was a great time, and will be the source of great memories for years to come. We went again this year, 2023 and again was amazing. Our now 4 years old loves coming here and talked about it since last year. We will be going back again next year when it comes back to town. Also, big shout-out to all the volunteers that make it possible.

My husband and I held our reception at Saint Elias and we were very pleased with everything! They were very flexible and ensured our special day went by smoothly. Everyone working the night of our wedding was wonderful! Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was throughout the whole evening! Thank you again!

We had our wedding at Le Classique and couldn’t be happier! The team made our big day truly special, the staff were attentive, responsive, and provided excellent service all night.

Everything went so smoothly, and our guests were really impressed. We highly recommend Le Classique if you’re looking for a wedding venue, it’s absolutely worth it!

Le Classique never disappoints! This reception hall always pays attention to the details that make your event feel extra special. The service is seamless, the atmosphere is elegant, and the food is absolutely incredible!! Every time I’ve been here, it’s been an amazing experience. Highly recommend for any event.

The appetizers were great, but the main meal.. I wasn't impressed with the presentation, and it was lacking flavour. Overall, this is a fairly decent reception hall, but the parking lot is VERY small.

LMAC PROM 2023!!! What an awesome evening last night at Chateau Classique Hall for the Laurier MacDonald grad! Food is delicious, staff is great, and entertainment was top! Thank you - definitely recommend this hall for your next event or grad! 🎉🎶

As a Master of Ceremony, hosting at the Classique is always a pleasure. Everything was perfect. The food was exquisite. I highly recommend
The staff was super nice and very professional.

The Christmas decor was absolutely gorgeous.

Pros: The lobby is absolutely gorgeous with a big skylight and a library. The staff were great, from the housekeepers to the front desk and the restaurant team. We had dinner the first night and the food was very good, drinks from the bar tender was great as well, thank you Brook! The room was cozy and clean, and I loved the bed and pillows.

Cons: I wouldn’t consider this hotel luxury. The rooms are fine, but nothing really stood out. It was clean, but the lack of slippers in the room was surprising. Only one elevator was working, and it had water damage with a few broken lights, which felt a little creepy. What really stood out to me was how understaffed they seemed. I feel like we only saw two desk employees the entire stay. A tall gentleman who checked us in, very kind and helpful, but later we saw him parking cars as well. The young woman working the night shift at the front desk was back the following day, and then we saw her cleaning rooms in her suit!! It honestly looked like they hadn’t gone home. The housekeepers were also a bit loud in the morning when talking to each other in the hallways. I’m sure they did not mean to be rude, just louder than expected when you want to sleep in. Lastly, our room window faced the library. While it’s a beautiful view, it made me feel closed in, especially since the window doesn’t open for fresh air.

Overall, I loved this hotel. It is centrally located downtown with an awesome luxury feel. We did a suite and it was very comfortable. Staff was very friendly. My only complaint was that the room height was a bit low and dark but it is an older building and they made up for this with solid lighting and luxury amenities.

Stayed here for my birthday with my husband. The room was spacious and beautifully designed and so was the bathroom. The AC worked well and kept the room cool, everything was clean and well-kept. Comfy bed, pillows, cozy blanket and plush robes.

Valet service was great, the staff was very nice, we also had room service breakfast (it was ok, but I probably wouldn’t get it again), the check in/out process was smooth and the location was incredibly convenient.

One note is, the rooms look out the circular courtyard area that is the inside of the restaurant so it can get a little loud but everything died down at 11pm. Would definitely come back again!

We had the pleasure of working with Rae and Charles during a wedding reception at The Metcalfe Hotel, and they were both absolutely fantastic! Rae, the food service lead, made sure everything was constantly replenished—our guests never had to wait or look for anything. The service was smooth, timely, and super professional.

Charles, the bartender, kept the drinks flowing with ease and charm. Despite a steady crowd, no one ever had to wait long, and the guests really appreciated his friendly energy and efficiency.

They both played a big part in making the evening seamless and enjoyable. Thank you for such outstanding service!

Lovely spot to stay. Right in the middle of everything you might need. Plenty of spots to eat, really close to parliament hill, museums, all sorts of historic sights. The room itself was really nice. They have Le Labo bath products which is crazy. My hair has never smelt better.

Great hotel. Would gladly stay again.
Friendly, helpful staff
Quiet rooms, I had a beautiful view.
Bed was comfy, with good pillows, crisp sheets and a slightly weighted duvet.
Hotel conveniently attached to the mall. Excellent location.
Gym was modern, also with a great view and top of the line equipment.
Pool and hot tub looked great.
Cafe on site was delicious with great service, grab and go sandwiches or sit-down.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Outstanding service and hospitality — one of Ottawa’s best hotels!

Our stay at The Westin Ottawa was truly wonderful. We arrived early in the morning after a flight and kindly asked if early check-in was possible. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us — we are so grateful for their flexibility and kindness.

The room was quiet, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The bed, pillows, and linens were top quality — it felt like a real sanctuary for rest and recovery.

The location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of downtown Ottawa, with beautiful views and easy access to everything we wanted to explore.

And the thoughtful anniversary gesture from the hotel was such a sweet and delicious surprise — it made us feel truly welcome and celebrated.

Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Ottawa. The service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is warm and professional from start to finish.

We recently stayed over night and there was a little mix up with the booking (which was our fault). It would have made it less of an enjoyable stay but Jackson at the front desk went above and beyond. He went out of his way to fix everything and correct the issue. It would have been easy to say it was our fault and leave it at that but he wanted to ensure we had a great experience!

The hotel is always clean and the staff always very accommodating. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Great location!!! Could not complain about the service. They handled the overload of people easily. Attended a conference and they could easily accommodate the massive numbers registered for the conference. There was lots of extra walking to do in order to have access to a great selection of workshops and plenary panels to choose from. The downside for me was the cost of meals 😪 Delicious mind you 😋

Check-in was very smooth and the receptionist was very friendly. She welcomed me and then told me she upgraded our room! The room was very comfortable. The pillows were just right! The shower was amazing as well. We had a very enjoyable and restful stay.

Had a Great Experience Hosting our event here The Whole Team is Amazing.
Huge Shout out for Renee she Made sure she stayed there till the end of our event Making sure everything went smoothly
Thank you!!!

Had a wonderful venue tour there by April. Very informative and friendly. Their wedding space is not your everyday community centre space. It is large, light and bright and airy and will have an outdoor ceremony space too!

Trywood hosted our wedding reception in January. Phenomenal service. Excellent food. Everyone had a great time. They're willing to work with us on unique ideas we had for the reception and were willing to try something new and executed to perfection. Our guests have consistently commented on the reception having some of the best food they've ever had, especially the salmon! Would highly recommend for weddings or any event in general.

Large lot, several buildings. Attended a wedding, Staff was amazing, food was served buffet style and was also very good. Bar service was great again staff above par!

Chilly stands but great ice. Change rooms could be bigger. No on site food.
