Wedding Budget

Waterfront was a great choice for our day, we are very happy we chose this venue. Jade was great and thought of everything we needed. She helped us make sure the day ran smoothly and gave us lots of helpful tips. The staff was great at setting up the venue. The florals and decor provided by the venue was exactly what I wanted. The few things that didn't go perfectly, Simply Elegant made up for in a professional and timely manner. Would absolutely recommend this venue for any wedding!

Beautiful Spot, Slightly Off on Service Timing
Waterfront Park is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the views. The atmosphere is great, and overall, I had a really nice time. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I went to the bar at 5:28, and was asked to come back at 5:30. It felt a bit rigid considering it was just a 2-minute difference. Other than that, it was a great experience and I’d still recommend it!

I cannot recommend Waterfront Parks enough. Peter and Jade went well above and beyond, helping us plan a short notice wedding (we booked less than three months prior to the date in an effort to minimize covid related changes), navigating trying times, and providing unparalleled service. Jade is even pictures in our wedding photos adjusting my dress prior to walking down the isle, and Peter met us on the limo bus to help "hide" me from the guests prior to the service. They were like family throughout the process and I honestly don't think we would have pulled off the wedding of our dreams without them. The venue is stunning, location is ideal, the food was delicious (and catered to all sorts of weird dietary issues), and the decor was spot on. If you're thinking about booking waterfront parks with simply elegant, stop thinking and book it. You won't regret it!

Our son’s wedding was at the Waterfront Park Apr. 29th, it was absolutely amazing. The location is breathtaking even in early Spring, just imagine how stunning it will be in the summer…. Also included with the rental of the location is full set up and take down. The flowers were absolutely amazing. The staff from start to finish were so amazing, very responsive, very accommodating, and showed that they really care and want the best for their customers. I only added a picture of the brides bouquet as all of our other pictures have our guests in them, so sadly am not able to add any of the pictures to show how beautiful everything was set up for our son and now wife’s wedding day. The whole time there was magical. Everyone that attended was so impressed. Thank you

Had an event at the tent here. Amazing venue, tons of parking, friendly staff. Only downside we had access to only two bathrooms which with 100 people wasn’t ideal but made it work.

Words cannot describe how grateful we are for Michael and Nancy. They brought our entire wedding vision to life in a way that was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Every detail; the florals, the stationery, the chairs, the table settings, was absolutely stunning.

What impressed us just as much as the artistry was the care and tireless work they put in behind the scenes. They thought of everything, made the process seamless, and created an atmosphere that took our breath away. Our guests are still raving about how gorgeous everything looked, and we know it’s thanks to their incredible talent.

If you are looking for vendors who are not only highly skilled but also truly care about making your day unforgettable, Michael and Nancy are the ones to trust. We will cherish what they created for us forever. (Formal photos to come!!!) 🩵

As a local Wedding Planner, I have worked with Wedecor since 2011 and have always had my couples extremely happy with their design and decor. So much so that it is very common to have tears of joy when we do a room reveal with them before opening the doors to guests. Nancy's ability to design a gorgeous wedding is unbelievable, making suggestions that align with our couples vision but also adding in ideas they never had thought of. Their inventory is also the largest in the city with new additions coming in for every wedding season so it just grows and grows! They are also the preferred decorator and florist at many venues which can help with things like earlier access for set ups. Highly recommend!

We can't say enough about our amazing experience with the Wedecor team! We worked closely with Michael Donovan from start to finish of our wedding planning process. From helping us identify the best vendors more than a year out from our wedding to taking care of every detail on the day of, Michael was there to support us at every step of the way. He pulled together our vision perfectly and made our wedding even more beautiful than we could have imagined. We were simply able to enjoy our day as Michael managed each and every detail.

Could not recommend Wedecor and Michael Donovan more!

Wedecor delivered on our dream wedding and exceeded all of our expectations! Not only everything was absolutely stunning but every single details were thought through and Michael and Nancy were a treat to work with from beginning to end. The whole planning process went seamlessly and they were on top of everything throughout from the vendor management, to the invitations, the reminders, the decor and the delivery. They made it all feel so easy for us and handled all the little stressors to make it as easy as possible on us. We do not have words to describe how happy we are with the whole experience, it was absolutely fabulous and the end results, simply jaw-dropping. Thank you WeDecor for making our dream come true, we are forever grateful!

Nancy and the WEDECOR team orchestrated the most STUNNING floral decor we ever could have imagined for our wedding day, truly beyond our wildest dreams. My husband and I were blown away by the beauty of it all and how perfectly it all came together. Nancy and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with and incredibly kind and professional. They understood our vision very well and made each step of the process seamless and stress-free, from preliminary meetings to the wedding day set-up. They were incredibly flexible and easy to work with, adapting very well to last-minute changes and always making us feel in such great hands and totally reassured. Hiring WEDECOR for our floral decor was the best decision we could have made for our special day, and we feel very lucky that we were able to work with such a kind-hearted, talented, and professional team. To Nancy and the whole WEDECOR team, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are amazing! We would hire you again in a heart beat.

We had a wonderful celebration there for my brother’s wedding, and everything was absolutely perfect. The service was amazing — especially Noura, who is such an incredible person! She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right. We truly appreciate her kindness, professionalism, and care. Thank you for making this special day unforgettable!

I stayed at this hotel and was really happy with my experience.
Sunny is the great in management and so politely The service was excellent – the staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to help. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-organized, providing a relaxing atmosphere.

The food was also great. Breakfast was fresh and offered a good variety, and the dinner was delicious and well-prepared, showing real attention to quality.

Overall, this hotel stands out for its service, cleanliness, and food. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant stay.

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at White Diamond, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The venue is beautifully designed, offering a warm and elegant atmosphere perfect for both intimate and larger celebrations. The staff were incredibly attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly.

The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the menu! From the planning process to the big day, the team made everything stress-free and seamless.

Highly recommend this place for both dining and special events. A truly memorable experience!

Awesome! I had an amazing experience at this Middle Eastern restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors and perfectly prepared. The restaurant itself is spacious, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal with family or friends.

Another great thing is the location—it’s almost in the city center, making it easy to find. Plus, there’s plenty of parking nearby, so there are no issues with parking at all.

Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves great Arabic food and a welcoming atmosphere!

Had our wedding reception at White Diamond. The best thing was the food, 10/10. Adam the owner is very kind and has an amazing culinary background.
Issues we encountered - All service and business integrity related.
-We had roughly 200 guests and there were only 1-2 servers on the floor, our contract said there would be minimum 8 servers. No one to serve us any drinks either (bride and groom), had to get our own family members to bring us drinks
-Bar line ups were very long, 3 bartenders but looked like they were in training and very inefficient
-Tables were not cleared after dinner, 200 dirty plates were left on tables all night
-They tried blaming us for their old, malfunctioned elevator that none of our guests could use from the start during the entire event. They did not give our security deposit back for over a month overdue as the contract stated security deposit to be returned 2 weeks after event. After we questioned them and put out our witnesses/facts then we finally got our deposit back from one of the other employees who was very helpful. (We were sending emails and texts for over a month while getting ignored on this topic)

This is the constructive feedback I have for White Diamond. It is important to keep communication and integrity with a client to keep a business relationship on a high note.
Our wedding was very successful because of the heart and months of planning we put into it but the service could have been better.

During a 10,000-mile North America road tour, IQtargets Art Museum of Human Goals' curator visited the Canadian Geographic and Royal Canadian Geographical Society. (RCGS) to invite participation in and discuss the "Portrait of a Nation" artwork, I can suggest the place as an ideal destination for family visits.
Education, learning, art, sightseeing, cinema, and even a hall are all available in this space.
The exhibition, titled PRESSURE: James Cameron into the Abyss, is free. 50 Sussex Drive is nestled amidst architectural gems in the heart of the city, with parking readily accessible. The venue accommodates special needs with doors at the bottom, maintains clean toilets, provides an elevator, and boasts a friendly and supportive staff. For younger visitors aged 6-12, there are tailored education programs. Guided tours, a park zone, and prompt decision-making.
Special appreciation for Mr.John Geiger and Tatiana 🇺🇦 for commissioning an amazing artifact, a map of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada, starting at the end of the 18th century to today. It is a gesture of support by the RCGS for Ukraine.
Best regards,
And welcome to enjoy Canada Royal Geographical Society

@iqtargets_art

Worth the short stop to see the Challenger exhibit about James Cameron's trip to the bottom of the ocean, Challenger Deep. Open until Sept 1st. Also, just a great location next to Rideau Falls and a wonderful view across the river to Quebec.

Awesome location that overlooks the falls and Ottawa River! Beautiful spot inside and great for hosting events. Gotta check this place out.

A beautiful location on the Ottawa River and nearby Rideau Falls. With lots of scenic decks and floor to ceiling windows it made for one of the nicest wedding locations i have ever been to. The meal was easily the best I have had at a wedding also!

Can't wait for this amazing venue to officially open!
Thank you RCGS for breathing new life into this amazing Ottawa landmark!

I held my wedding at The Albany Club a few weeks ago and I cannot rave enough about how amazing everything was. Especially the events coordinator Derek! I had several meetings with Derek over the course of about a year and to say he was my saving grace would be an understatement. Without all his help and support I would have probably crashed out and gone to city hall instead. Once I organized all my vendors he took over and dealt with all the correspondences which I will forever be thankful for. Derek was professional and friendly at every meeting, walking me through everything step by step with the corresponding paperwork and timelines. He even made himself available for me the day after when I needed to pick up the decorations and got stuck due to a marathon downtown.
The staff at The Albany Club were also very helpful and professional, the food was amazing and staff were very friendly and quick with service and clean up. I never had any concerns for anything and my wedding went off without so much as a hitch or delay! It was the perfect venue for us with the stain glass windows, dark wood, classic cage elevator and roof top patio.
I cannot thank the staff and Derek enough for all their hard work and dedication to holding up the clubs standards! I would highly recommend The Albany Club as a wedding venue and if you do, hire Derek for your day of coordinator!!

The Albany Club is a beautiful facility, from what I can see the staff is very professional. Hopefully I can’t recommend this venue, my friend got married today and I left a card in the bridal suit only to find within an hour someone had gone in and stolen $500 out of the envelope and thrown the card away. The Albany Club needs to be way more careful with their security. I followed up with the managers on site and had no resolution as to who had even gone into the room. I could highly recommend this venue if they install security cameras at least in the hallways but unfortunately I left feeling like I was robbed and had no conclusion to my issue

This building has lots of history and don’t expect a modern and luxury location. The elevator is the ones that you need to push open the door.
Service is attentive, and food is not bad. Ordered medium rare and got medium, at least it’s not well done lol
The dessert is highlight of the night!

We had a great experience with the Albany Club for our wedding. We had originally planned to be married on June 20th, 2020 but had to postpone to the fall due to the pandemic. They were very accommodating and reassured us that they would still be available to host us and would do everything in their power to make it the day we had originally envisioned. There was a bit of changing hands as our original coordinator left the club but they were always helpful along the way and our final contact, Dmitry did everything in his power to make the day go smoothly. The venue itself is gorgeous and elegant. We had the entire building for the day which made it even more special. We were even able to get ready in one of the upstairs rooms. The service was impeccable and the servers constantly came around to check on us. The food was delicious, especially the tiramisu. When they served the guests, the food was brought out with metal covers ensuring that the meal stayed hot. Overall we would highly recommend this space for your future wedding reception.

We had the most wonderful experience hosting our wedding at the Albany Club. What a special experience to have the entire building to ourselves. The food is exceptional, the decor is full of warmth and history and the service from the entire team is outstanding. Our personal event coordinator, Murielle, went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was a great success. She even checked-in with us multiple times throughout the evening to make sure we were well fed and looked after. Highly recommend the Albany Club for your next event!

The staff, the rooms, the location.... This is everything you could ever want in a hotel.
The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The views of the river from all rooms we've stayed at are very nice and romantic at night.
You're right in the heart of the old city and there is so much to do in walking distance.
The staff is always amazing, friendly and helpful.
I can't say enough about how much we love this hotel and the staff. Always the go-to place to stay in Montreal.

We had the most amazing stay here at the end of May. The location is excellent with easy walking everywhere. Our room was beautiful and spacious with a great view over the harbour.
The food in every part of the hotel was delicious and beautifully presented. The entire staff was more than exceptional. I would like to give special thanks to Vana, Suzanne and Jeremy.
Jeremy, our forgotten items arrived safely. Thank you for your patience in making that happen. We would love to visit you all again!

We loved our cozy room with its gorgeous water views—it felt so peaceful and was a great spot to unwind. The room was spotless and had everything we needed, though the bed was a bit on the lumpy side. We could hear some loud door-slamming from other guests, which wasn’t ideal, but overall, it was a relaxing stay.

The toiletries in the shower were running low, but we didn’t ask for more since shared ones aren’t our favourite (we don’t like the idea of previous guests tampering with them). The front desk team was amazing and made late checkout super easy. Valet parking was a little over $50 a night, and they took excellent care of our large SUV—no scratches, which we really appreciated!

Dining on the terrace the first night was such a treat. The views were stunning, the service was wonderful, and the food was absolutely delicious. Yes, it was a bit pricey, but totally worth it for the experience. Would happily stay and dine here again!

I don’t even know where to begin, our stay at Auberge du Vieux-Port was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality that set the tone for the entire trip. Every single detail of our stay was thoughtfully curated, and it truly felt like a home away from home, with a luxurious twist.

The room was stunning, exposed brick walls, wooden beams, and massive windows overlooking the St. Lawrence River made it feel like we were in a romantic movie. The bed was ridiculously comfortable, the bathroom was pristine and well-stocked, and I couldn’t get enough of the little touches like plush robes, fancy toiletries, and complimentary coffee and water.

Breakfast at Taverne Gaspar every morning was such a treat, delicious, fresh, and made to order. And don’t even get me started on the rooftop terrace. Watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand while the city buzzed below us was pure magic.

The location couldn’t be more perfect. Right in the heart of Old Montreal, we were steps away from incredible restaurants, charming boutiques, and beautiful historic sites. Yet, inside the hotel, it was quiet and peaceful, like a hidden oasis.

Above all, the staff made this experience extraordinary. Every single person we interacted with went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, happy, and having a great time.

Hands down, this was the best stay we've ever had. If you’re visiting Montreal and want a truly special experience, do yourself a favor and stay at Auberge du Vieux-Port. We’re already dreaming of coming back

Wonderful hotel. We arrived and valet took care of our car with ease and front desk was so welcoming.
Our room was lovely and very quiet - FRETTE everything ! Sheets comforter towels bathrobe - delicious and a great rain shower.
Great location
Dinner at Gaspars in hotel - great ambience /food/service & noise level was fine and locals dine here
Highly recommend

I used to live close by and always loved going to the community garden.

The gazebo was where my partner and I had our first kiss
This last weekend, it was also where he proposed ❤️ (of course I said yes)

Thanks for keeping it beautiful!

Absolutely love this place
Small and cozy but very neat and clean
Abi is amazing and very helpful and friendly I love booking there because of the way she is so welcoming. The little garden at the back is beautiful for pictures. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend

This is a smaller community centre but is beautiful inside. Membership, this year, is free. The main hall hosts taikwon-do and karate lessons and has gorgeous hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows on one side overlooking the park, and there is also a meeting room with conference table and chairs where a conversation club is held. They also have a regular board game night. The basement room hosts Seedlings Spanish Preschool. All rooms are available to hire for functions or clubs, I believe. There may be other activities, clubs and events hosted that I'm not aware of. The upstairs rooms are wheelchair accessible with a ramp from the street to the door. I'm unsure if the basement room is wheelchair accessible.
There is a community garden outside and an outdoor ice rink, which is popular in winter. A free mobile skatepark was put there temporarily last summer. They organize community clean ups and also offer a soccer program that involves parents/guardians as volunteers to keep the cost down. I like the feel of the space and what is offered there. There is even a little free library outside.
I would love to see some programs such as a drop-in playgroup, dance classes for kids, music classes, or more programs for seniors, but they do great work there in a beautiful space!

The community hall has been the home for Calgary Argentine Tango dance and music community for last few years. The hall has been beautifully maintained and the manager Abi has been great to our community. Thank you Abi (TangoCalgary.com)

Love the manager, Abi, and the space is beautiful. We have chosen this hall for our wedding next summer. With their upcoming renovations to the deck, it will be amazing and even more wheelchair accessible for my dad.

A little late in writing this, as my husband and I wanted to take the time to find the right words to describe our incredible experience with Bean Town.

We were married here on August 25th, 2024, and our wedding day was everything we had hoped for—and more. From start to finish, the team at Bean Town made it all possible.

From the moment we began planning, the coordination with the Bean Town team was seamless. Caroline was absolutely amazing—patient, attentive, and always ready to answer our questions. Geneviève was so kind and understanding, bringing a calming presence on the wedding day. Meagan was also wonderful to work with, helping with planning and coordinating all the last-minute details. Before leaving, she even stopped by to check in with us personally to see if we needed anything before she left.

The bartenders were friendly, quick, and professional, and the chef even came to greet us during the cocktail hour, shared that he had been married at Bean Town himself, congratulated us, and brought us a drink—it was so sweet. Every member of the staff was incredibly attentive, making us feel cared for in every moment.

The entire team exceeded our expectations. Every detail was flawlessly executed, even the smallest details were anticipated. Because of them, we experienced a completely stress-free wedding day and were able to remain fully present in every moment.

The venue itself is breathtaking, but it was the people & staff who truly made the experience extraordinary.

Many of our family and friends told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended (even compared to their own!). Several even joked that they’d get married all over again just to do it at Bean Town.

We cannot thank the entire Bean Town team enough. Our wedding day was an absolute dream—one we still spend hours reminiscing about—and it’s all thanks to Bean Town Ranch & their team. 🤍

A Dream Come True Wedding!
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our special day. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcomed and cared for. The space was absolutely stunning: beautifully maintained, elegant, and full of charm. Every corner was photo-worthy, and the atmosphere felt both romantic and inviting.

The team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, from the ceremony to the last dance. They were organized, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making our wedding unforgettable. Our guests were blown away by the setting and are still raving about how gorgeous everything was!

My biggest stress throughout the day was the temperature. Unfortunately, on our wedding day, it was a rainy day, but with the positivity of the staff and the different options for ceremony, it did not feel like a rainy day! Rain or shine, Bean Town will make your guests and the newly weds feel comfortable!

As for Alisa, one of the wedding coordinators, she was by our side throughout the entire day! She helped with holding my drinks, holding my dress and staying on schedule with photos! It was amazing having her by our side.

Caro, also one of the wedding coordinators, was there to answer all my questions- and I had a lot of them! Truthfully thankful for those fast responses!

Genevieve, the owner, was our wedding officiant. I highly recommend having her as your officiant! It was honestly a one of a kind ceremony! She is full of passion, energy and the ceremony was quite unique!

Thank you for helping bring our vision to life and making our wedding day magical. We will forever be grateful! Our guests are still talking about it! We cannot stop thinking about this day and how we wished weddings were a two day celebration!❤️

Words can honestly not express how incredible this entire team and venue is. My husband and I were married here two weeks ago and we are still glowing from the amazing day we had.

Every single guest has told us they LOVED the day - that the venue was beautiful (which it is), the food was excellent, and that it was one of the best weddings they had been to.

We had our wedding on a Friday and so were lucky to be able to rent the Casa Mila and Casa Lucas houses for an extra night on the Thursday evening (note that this is only possible for Friday weddings) and I would 10/10 recommend this. I was able to have my hair and makeup vendors come out to the venue and get ready with my bridal party on site which made the morning SO much more relaxing. The Casa's are beautiful and we managed to have 16 guests (family and bridal party) stay there with us on the Thursday and Friday nights which made the experience feel even more special. Everyone was so impressed by the amenities and how spacious the houses were.

On our wedding day the entire team was flawless. The on-site day of co-ordinators set up the entire venue perfectly and had honestly thought of everything. Their organization and efficiency was so impressive and it really made the day so much more enjoyable and stress-free for all of us.

We used Genevieve as our officiant and she was amazing. Warm and kind and so professional. We loved the way she stood in the aisle so that our photographer could get photos of us on our own. Many of our guests commented that they enjoyed her delivery of the ceremony and we were so pleased.

Honestly, I could go on and on about how amazing the day was and all the things this team did for us. But really the crux of it is that we would wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend them as a wedding venue. Go for a tour and you'll see why for yourself!

We had such an incredible day at BeanTown and the entire staff were absolutely phenomenal. Absolutely every guest had an amazing time with spectacular reviews from the beauty of the location itself, the kindness of the staff, and the quality of the food. There were multiple surprises and little touches day of provided by the venue that we were not aware of making the day that much more special and fun! Getting ready at Casa Lucas was also so convenient, with a pathway out back leading right to the venue. Side note - comfiest sheets we have ever slept on. If we had to do it all again we would book this venue in a heartbeat, especially given how dog friendly the venue is and the fact the owners are allies in our love for Nickelback ;) Thank you to Guy, Genevieve, and the entire staff!

My wife and I recently had our wedding at Bean Town, and it’s truly impossible to put into words how incredible the entire experience was. From start to finish, the Bean Town team was exceptionally organized, thoughtful, and attentive to every detail. Everything was executed to absolute perfection.

This venue exceeded every expectation we had. It was more beautiful, more seamless, and more magical than anything we could have ever imagined. We are endlessly grateful to the entire team - not just for helping us pull off the wedding of our dreams, but for doing so with such care, passion, and professionalism.

We wholeheartedly recommend Bean Town to anyone considering it for their special day. We truly cannot imagine having our wedding anywhere else, and our guests are still raving about how stunning and memorable the day was.

“Thank you” doesn’t begin to express how we feel. We love you all so much - thank you for giving us the most perfect start to our life together.

Spectacular is the minimum you can say about this place. From the first impression of the exterior of the unique and charming restaurant to the minute you depart you know one thing, You're coming Back! The service is exceptional, never for one minute do you want for anything. Me and my wife were on vacation and ended our trip in Calgary and I decided we would try this restaurant based on their reviews. I expected a nice evening, but what we got was great ambiance, great food, large portions, expert presentation, great value, first class service and a new place to come every time we are in town. The Bow Valley Ranche is a must for anyone wanting to try Calgary's finest! A+! Btw: special thanks to Oskar for the best service in town!

Reserved a table for lunch and had a remarkable time. The restaurant was courteous and prompt with their staff being very attentive and kind.

Leading into wonderful food with a gorgeous view both in and around the wonderfully maintained historically significant building to the area.

We chose to be seated inside and the decor and atmosphere was both calm and quiet.

Now the food itself was also spectacular with rich flavours without any overbearing saltiness or any greasiness at all. The whole experience was great and the course was actually quite filling on top of it all!
This goes for all 4-5 dishes between my wife and I.

Took a nice walk to digest the food and enjoy the scenery with a quick trip through the native gardens leading to Annie’s cafe which in itself was a great lead up to a pleasant walk.

Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to start their morning off in Fish creek with pleasant food and mood.

Will be a staple for any future visits to Calgary

Absolutely adore this place! I took my husband here for his birthday a few months ago, and it was such a wonderful experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were simply amazing! I had the beef tenderloin, and I seriously have been thinking about it in my dreams. It is such a beautiful, historical building, making the ambience just impeccable. My husband and I were super full after our dinner, and we decided on not having a desert, and they even took the liberty of surprising us with a little plate of cakes! It was so sweet! My husband booked us our next visit for my birthday, which I’m counting down the days for! Thanks again for such a nice dining experience. We can’t wait to come back soon, and are looking forward to seeing the space in autumn.

We ordered the weekday lunch special. The salad dressing was amazing. For the second main dish, I chose the pork — it looked delicious, but unfortunately, it lacked flavor. There was some sauce on top, but it wasn’t enough. We asked the server for extra sauce, but he didn’t bring it. I didn’t want to eat my food cold, so we ended up asking for salt and pepper instead.

The dessert was good.

This restaurant is very popular, and I haven’t seen any other weekday special courses like this one. The price was very reasonable, but I was a little disappointed with the main dish.

The location is perfect — it was a great place for brunch with my best friend.

We went here to celebrate our anniversary, and really happy we did. It is an awesome place, the atmosphere is special and the service was amazing ❤️ We loved the food, the steak was delicious. I recommend this place, we had an amazing time there and would consider going again. We also received two pieces of cake as a compliment, it was unexpected and sweet!

I booked Brie & Banquet Wild Catering Co. for my baby shower and they completely blew me away! Working with their team was such a pleasure — the booking process was seamless, and they offered so many beautiful options to choose from.

The final setup was a stunning blue-themed floral spread inspired by high tea, and it exceeded all expectations. My guests and I were absolutely in love with both the presentation and the food — everything was incredibly delicious.

This is a 20/10 experience, and I would recommend them to anyone planning an event. I’ll definitely be using them again in the near future. A big thank you to Katie and her team for making my shower so special!

Katie, was here to set up the amazing grazing table for my daughters bridal shower and when she was done, it was spectacular and phenomenal. The guests were totally surprised and amazed to the detailed work she did. Using Brie & Banquet Wild Catering Co. for my daughters bridal shower made the day even more perfect! Thank you so much again and I will definitely use you again.

Wonderful display of delicious goodies for my daughter’s bridal shower. All the guests were enamoured by the flavours and presentation of all the food! I highly recommended Brie And Banquet Catering. Thank you for making this day so special.

Made a very special day even better. We used their services for the morning of my daughter's wedding as the bridal party was getting ready at our house. Katie arrived at 6:30AM and the display and food was absolutely amazing. Everyone was thrilled. Thank-you.

My mom & fiancé’s mom catered my bridal shower with Brie & Banquet & it was an absolute dream for me & all of our guests. I couldn’t have imagined a prettier display. They did an absolutely fantastic job setting up quickly before I arrived, and made the spread look like a dream with florals, and cute display cards. I highly, highly recommend this company!

Held my wedding here. My husband, family, and guests were all blown away by how cool this venue was. The staff were extraordinarily professional, friendly, and accommodating.

Here are some pictures of our first dance centered on the beautiful star inlay in the middle of the dance floor.

One of my favourite venues in Montreal. The decor and history take you back to a time where live entertainment was all we had.
The drinks and bar staff are fantastic!
Go see a show here!

Candle Night experience: it was great.. but a bit pricy! The place, the Jazz band, the set up with all the candles: such a lovely and romantic ambiance! Loved it!! But I would say that it was a bit pricy for exactly a 60min set (and the singer talked a lot between songs to tell us story which was great though). I wish they extend a bit the duration...that's it. But other than that, I highly recommend to live the experience!

Great place and great concert. The Aperol spritz had just the taste. I asked to fill with more Aperol. Thanks.

Saw the best stand-up comedy show there, the beautiful setting amplified a great show.

I am so glad I chose Canvas to celebrate my wedding ceremony and reception . Best decision ever. The place is just so beautiful, intimate and rustic. The menu was the best everyone loved it. So delicious. We loved working with Mike and his team. They are the best. Very professional. Mike we love you. Thank you for everything. If we could we would give 100 stars.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Canvas in October 2024 and couldn't have been happier with the experience. Beautiful space located near the canal, which was great for pictures. Food was very good, highly recommend any of the delicious canapés! We loved the unique bring your own alcohol option and the bartender John was awesome throughout the night. Can't say enough about how accommodating and caring Mike and his entire staff were throughout the evening and planning process. Prices are very reasonable and Mike is transparent and clearly outlines everything from the start. Overall we had an amazing time and would highly recommend Canvas!

We had our wedding there last week and it was absolutely amazing. From the food to the staff, everything exceeded our expectations. We received very positive feedback from our guests on the food. The venue is beautiful on its own, very unique. The planning also went smoothly as the manager is experienced and knew to reassure us. Thank you so much!!

My mom and I did a brunch and paint and had an amazing time! The two girls were so helpful, and the painting class was SO approachable! Having both never painted before we were worried but we both left we something we totally love! Can’t wait to do another class.

We just had our wedding ceremony and reception at Canvas Montreal two weeks ago, and we could have not been more satisfied! Mike, he was fantastic at realizing all of our wishes and working together to create a unique space for our wedding! Carmen, John (the bartender) and the two other staff members that day/night were equally fantastic - keeping us and all of our guests happy throughout the entire evening! We cannot thank the staff enough for their kindness, laughter and the way they welcomed us. The space itself is beautiful, I call it a blank canvas. If you are someone who loves to make a space unique and your own, this cozy loft space is Perfect for you! And I should not forget to mention that the food was Delicious! All of our guests were happy to be served hot and tasty meals throughout our reception! We were 100 percent satisfied booking with Canvas for our special day. Not only were booking prices fair, but Mike was incredibly transparent with every single aspect of the space and the services they offer (which many other wedding venues which we researched hide their fees and services - Mike was always 100 percent and on the table). We felt so comfortable with him and his staff that I'm proud to say we would recommend Canvas to anyone as they make you feel comfortable, welcome and at home! Great food, welcoming atmosphere, and fantastic people! 10/10

I’ve had the pleasure of capturing a wedding at Club Atwater this past Saturday. I had been looking forward to finally visit it and it did not disappoint. From the warm wood details to the stunning windows and bright rooms, it gave me the perfect backdrop to explore my creativity. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Hoping to come back in the future.

Beautiful venue for small or big gathering. We were 33 guests and the coordination team were so nice and supportive for the planning. The room was perfect. The staff was very kind and helpful, the service was excellent and the food was delicious! Would not hesitate to book here again!

We had a magical wedding at Club Atwater! Everything from the tour of the venue to the food tasting to the main event, was truly a wonderful experience. Everyone was very supportive and answered all of our questions. The food provided by their catering service was delicious! We would do it all over again! :)

Such a great place to workout and unwind. The atmosphere is very warm and relaxed, everyone is so nice and friendly! The bistro serves delicious meals and the outside patio is a hidden gem! Quiet, cozy and surrounded by greenery. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy your coffee or lunch.

As a member of Club Atwater, I can confidently say it's one of the best decisions I've made. The club's historic charm, combined with its modern facilities, creates a unique and inviting atmosphere. The fitness equipment is always well-maintained, and the variety of classes keeps my workouts exciting and challenging. The staff is exceptional—friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist. I have to give special recognition to managers David and Benny, who are doing an amazing job. Their professionalism, approachability, and dedication to the members truly stand out. They go above and beyond to ensure the club runs smoothly, and their commitment makes a big difference in the overall experience. Club Atwater truly feels like a home away from home.

Elyna is an excellent wedding planner and we are so glad we hired her - it truly allowed us to have the wedding of our dreams. She has exquisite taste and excellent contacts in the industry, ranging from catering to dj to hair/makeup to photographers. Our guests raved about the wedding, many of them saying it was the best wedding they'd been to. It was certainly our favourite too.
Quite simply, Elyna has done this many times over and she knows exactly how to plan and run a wedding seamlessly. For us, that was invaluable. She is efficient and professional and replies to you in detail very quickly every time. She really went out of her way in so many ways, including keeping costs down and we appreciated that. We would definitely recommend Elyna - she has old school work ethic and its a beautiful thing to watch! We know our wedding wouldn't have been what it was without her and her team. Thank you, Elyna!

We hired Elyna to plan our fall wedding, and we do not have enough good things to say about her. She truly helped make our wedding weekend the best weekend of our lives. She always made herself available to talk, always eased our stresses leading up to the wedding, and really cared about making the wedding exactly how we wanted it. On the actual wedding day, we did not have to deal with 1 vendor, did not have to deal with any hiccups occurring. Elyna made sure the entire weekend was as seamless as possible. Elyna, thank you so much. We don't know how we could have gotten our wedding done without you. Would recommend her to anyone, and will be recommending her to all of our friends.

When we decided to plan a destination wedding in Montreal from Philly we knew it would be impossible to do without help. We found Elyna on Instagram and immediately could tell before even meeting her that her style and vibe matched ours. We didn’t even consider hiring anyone else and it was the best decision we could have made. For the past 14 months Elyna has been my savior. She responds to emails ASAP, no matter the time of day. She helped me with EVERYTHING, down to where to have dinner three days before the wedding. We wanted a very particular, out of the box vibe for our wedding - speakeasy/nightclub/no sit down dinner - and she nailed it. This type of off-formula wedding could easily feel unorganized with the wrong person running the show - Elyna has a well oiled machine that can handle anything. We did not want an MC that announced the transitions of the evening and was not a “wedding DJ” - Zo KILLED it. Our glam squad was incredible, flowers gorgeous and caterer amazing/accommodating. Our guests told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, it reflected US perfectly and hit home on all cylinders (food, drinks, music and ambiance). Thank you Elyna for these memories; it will be weird not corresponding regularly but hopefully our paths cross again !!

We decided end of July 2019 that we wanted to get married before the end of the year. We reached out to, and chatted with, several wedding planners that just didn't click or impress us. We then received a referral from a friend in Montreal who had worked with Elyna in the past. As soon as we met with her, we knew right away that she would get the job done.

Elyna's no BS approach was right up our alley. She has tons of amazing vendor contacts and relationships in the Montreal area, and is great for getting a feel for what you want, and then running with it and getting sh*t done. She is super responsive, talks you off the ledge when needed and provides great ideas you never would have thought of.

When we felt like our budget was getting a bit blown up, and that we had lost control, she was great for owning where things had gone wrong, and immediately adjusted to get things back on track.

Elyna, it was so great working with you! Best of luck with your 2020 wedding season.

Jamie & Alex

Like most couples of 2020-2021, we went through the covid-nightmare. We had already found the venue, DJ, photography pre-covid but we were missing decor, flowers and all the other small things that we didnt know about. Lucky for us Elyna came to our rescue. We didnt take her full package, so we used her on a hourly basis. Elyna was quick to the point, organized and hit ever detail that we were missing. Ever minute we had with her was put to good use. (15 hours total) If it wasnt for her and her team , we wouldnt had an amazing June 2021 wedding. She is very professional, has a great personality and is very passionate about her job, which in our opinion makes her the right person for any weddings or events. We highly recommend her. We will definitely be spreading her good name.

There is truly no venue in Toronto like Fantasy Farm. Nestled across from Todmorden Mills, this fairytale-like banquet hall is surrounded by lush forest and natural beauty — it felt like we were getting married in the heart of the Canadian North, yet we were conveniently minutes from the Danforth with plenty of parking for guests.

From the very beginning, the staff made our planning process feel easy and stress-free. Gus and Marc guided us with their deep experience and approachable, down-to-earth nature, helping us visualize our day and make thoughtful decisions. The food tasting was not only helpful but really helped us “feel” the wedding coming together — and the food itself was amazing.

On the day of, Jeremy was calm, warm, and completely on top of every detail. He helped lead our families through the ceremony and reception with grace and understanding, allowing us to truly relax and be present. The team was incredibly accommodating during setup, and the rollout of the food and events throughout the evening was absolutely seamless.

Our day couldn’t have been more perfect. The natural, homey atmosphere suited our artistic vibe beautifully. Many guests commented that it felt like a getaway to a cottage — but better. We feel so lucky to have chosen Fantasy Farm. If you're looking for a unique, serene, and well-run venue in the city, this is it. Best choice we made for our big day.

Fantasy Farm Event Venue – A Dream Spot for Weddings!
I recently shot a wedding at Fantasy Farm and absolutely loved it. The greenery, rustic charm, and quiet location make it perfect for romantic, natural photos. The indoor space has great lighting and a warm vibe. Highly recommend for couples looking for a peaceful venue right in Toronto!

We had our wedding at Fantasy Farm 2 days ago. Everything was simply amazing. Everyone who attended was very happy with the service, the food, and how good the staff was about being timely but never getting in the way! Gus and Jeremy were extremely helpful throughout the process and they are very transparent. After being in many venues and talking to the service industry people for so long, we truly appreciated a fresh proper human interaction with them. They are very accommodating and helped us pretty much with anything we needed. Hopefully I don't have to ever get married again, but if I would I would do it there any day.

My husband and I were married at Fantasy Farm back on October 14th... of 2022. Haha, I feel awful for not doing a review earlier, but hey! We're finally getting around to it.

The phrase "Hidden Gem" perfectly describes Fantasy Farm. In the middle of Toronto this is a beautiful lush event space that is extremely well run. We had our wedding here in the larger room and had an amazing experience. Firstly the garden ceremony was gorgeous with the flowers all in bloom and the greenery all around. The ballroom was also beautiful. Gus worked with us to set up our details and Jeremy and Mark executed everything on the day of. The way everyone at FF worked with us before and during the wedding was professional and really help us feel at ease. From the ceremony to the BBQ dinner, everything ran on time and the whole staff worked hard to make sure all the guests were comfortable. Many of my friends and family have dietary restrictions and allergies and this was one of the only event venues I have ever been to where they took such personal care for all of them, making sure not only the menu was set up to accommodate them, but also on the day of they went around to each person to make sure they had the right meal and to answer any questions they had. Days after we kept having friends and family rave about how beautiful the whole evening was.

The room was clean and modern. However, a few things lacking. Tv was broken. Kept asking us to pay a fee to log into our streaming services. Everything on the guide was not what was actually playing on the tv. There is a milk frother in the room bar but no liquid creamer or milk anywhere. The location is great. It’s right on the main strip and tons of restaurants and shops to walk to. The rooftop bar in the hotel is nice but we were told we had to pay to make a reservation and that we couldn’t have one of the open window tables. Meanwhile while sitting at our regular table, a couple next to us got upgraded to one of the window tables. We didn’t feel we were treated fairly as especially as guests of the hotel. This hotel feels very pretentious and was not our vibe at all and will not be staying here again. For rooms to be over 800 a night and service to be decent, that’s not our vibe and we will stay elsewhere next time.

We stopped at the William Gray during our honeymoon trip. The staff were all warm and welcoming and made us feel comfortable the moment we arrived. The property was beautiful and in the best location, but what made the stay wonderful was the impeccable service. Kenny and Theodora went above and beyond to make sure we felt celebrated. We can't wait to return on our future anniversary trips.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms are very spacious, with comfy beds that were more than we could ask for. Having kitchen supplies and a great coffee machine made our stay even more convenient and enjoyable.

A special mention goes to Brendan, who gave us amazing recommendations for food and sightseeing. He went above and beyond to help with all our requests, which made a huge difference to our trip.

We were a group of 2 adults and 4 kids, and the hotel fit our needs perfectly. Highly recommend

Amazing hotel. My family couldn’t stop raving about the showers (if you know, you know)! Very elegant with lots of little amenities and touches (for example, I love how the light switches are all connected so that one turns out all the lights. No need to walk around and turn off every one individually). The restaurants in the hotel are all top notch (the streak at Maggie Oakes was to die for) and it’s in a great location. You don’t really need to ever leave Old Town as there is a ton to do within walking distance.

Hotel William Grey is the perfect spot right in the middle of Old Montreal. Everything was perfect from arrival to departure. Incredibly friendly and accommodating staff, spacious and clean rooms, AMAZING shower, valet serviced parking garage right on premise, great restaurants, a lovely terrace and a coffee shop with one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had.
The view from our room was absolutely incredible.
I can't say enough. HIGHLY recommended!!

We as a non profit Circus organization, has been invited to perform at Infinity Convention centre. We had really great time at the Father-Daughter Ball at the Infinity Convention Centre! The Capital Circus artists put on an incredible performance - it was fun, entertaining, and really made the evening special.
The venue was beautiful - very clean, spacious and easy to get to. There was plenty of accessible parking, which made arriving and leaving stress-free. The staff were warm, friendly and super helpful, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The catering was excellent, with a great variety of delicious food and drinks.
You could really feel the positive energy in the room - everyone was enjoying themselves and the whole event had such a joyful, welcoming vibe.
If you're planning an event, I highly recommend Infinity Convention Centre. They know how to host something memorable and you'll be in great hands.

The location made it very convenient for our guests to get to and from the airport. The rooms are spacious enough to host very large events, galas, or weddings. In-house catering is available. The second floor also has a variety of rooms for conferences or seminars. The Hilton and Holiday Inn are in this immediate area.

Beautiful, well maintained modern space. AV systems are functional well designed.
Staff is accommodating and professional.
No outside catering is allowed; but rest assured the convention catering staff are masters of all cooking styles. The kitchen is quite impressive too.

recently attended an event( Anytime Fitness Conference) at the Infinity Convention Centre, and it was a fantastic experience! The venue is beautifully designed, modern, and spacious, with excellent facilities for both large and small events. The staff were professional, friendly, and very accommodating, making sure everything ran smoothly. The catering was top-notch, with delicious food and a wide variety of options. The location is convenient as it is very close by the airport. I highly recommend Infinity Convention Center for any event—it’s a great place that leaves a lasting impression!

Great new modern facility. Access and parking were great. I found the food delicious and well presented. Only things I would change would be the toilets as they are so low to the ground and the cleanliness of the carpet in the hall we were in (A) as there was gum stuck to it in more than one area and my shoes kept sticking to it.

We hosted our High School Reunion at the hall in September and everything was perfect and Matt was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend for weddings, reunions or any gathering.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Inglewood Community Association for my first-ever Sound Bath Meditation, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked into the hall, I was struck by the wonderful acoustics of the space. The team at Somatika Healing did a fantastic job creating an environment that was both serene and inviting.

As we settled in, the gentle sounds began to envelop us, creating a truly immersive experience. The vibrations and tones were soothing, allowing me to completely relax and let go of any stress. The atmosphere was perfect for this type of meditation, and I felt completely at ease throughout the session.

The staff at Inglewood Community Association were warm and welcoming, making sure everyone felt comfortable and ready to enjoy the session. It's clear that they put a lot of thought into making their events enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

If you're looking for a unique and calming experience, I highly recommend checking out the Sound Bath Meditation at Inglewood Community Association. It's a wonderful way to unwind and recharge, and the acoustics of the hall truly enhance the overall experience. I can't wait to return for another session!

A cute community center nestled in Inglewood. Not far from the Bird Sanctuary. A nice relaxing playground for the Tots. A very nice rink for rollerblading in the summer and ice skating in the winter. The hall has a unique roof and can make for a lovely meeting space for special occasions especially if decorated.

Great little playground for kids up to probably 8. Big and small slide, baby swing and normal swing, merry go round, and a pretend car. In the winter the small hill makes for a tiny toboggan for toddlers, and the ice rink provides lots of entertainment.

We host large events at Inglewood Hall on a bi-weekly basis. The space is amazing, the acoustics are spectacular but the management and staff are my favorite part. Your bookings are well attended and cared for here.

My daughter and I had such a lovely experience at this beautiful bridal shop, thanks to the amazing Rina! She is incredibly sweet, helpful, and truly had my daughter’s best interest at heart—not something you see often in sales! There was zero pressure, and it was clear she genuinely cared about helping Krystal find her dream dress! Rina’s kindness and professionalism is really rare in this industry! I honestly wanted my daughter to find a dress there just because she was so wonderful! Very highly recommend this gorgeous boutique! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I would give Ivoire 1000 stars if I could!

I get married in October and my experience has been nothing short of absolutely amazing. From the minute I called Ivoire in 2024 (from Winnipeg!) and was connected with Rina, I knew it was going to be *the* place to say YES to the dress!

Not only did I find my DREAM dress at Ivoire, I was treated like family from our very first connection. When I brought in my friends and family to try on dresses last July, we were met with such kind, warm service. I then went back to Winnipeg until recently moving to Montreal and through the entire year Rina kept me sane - whether it was talking me off the ledge about if my dress was going to be the right size when we ordered it, to keeping me in the loop and video calling me when it arrived because I couldn't be there in person, Rina really went above and beyond!

Yesterday, I visited Ivoire for the final time and picked up my dress. Luda did an AMAZING job with the alterations as requested and I couldn't be more excited to walk down the aisle in October.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Rina & Luda, for making my experience so genuine, loving, and filled with excitement.

I really loved my experience with Giovanna and Rina. They make you feel comfortable and give good advice for wedding dresses. They really take their time with you and are very flexible.

First store, first dress: love at first sight! 💖 Rina knew exactly what I needed. She could read my body language and instantly understood how I felt. So delicate, so sophisticated — that’s Rina and her dresses. I found THE dress, and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone! Thank you again Rina.

Deserves more than 5 stars!!
As a 2026 Bride, I had a fantastic experience at Ivoire. Giovanna gave exceptional service and made us feel like family. So so happy I said Yes to the dress at this boutique!

A wonderful wedding party and dinner here. Cheers 🍻

Excellent place for a wedding, great service, amazing experience overall!

I like this little hidden reception hall.
The ceremony place is very picturesque especially in the fall.

This venue suit only for funerals , not for weddings, birthdays etc . So many restrictions

Beautiful place, it's an Encanto !
