Wedding Budget

My stay at the Ritz-Carlton Montreal was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcomed with their warm hospitality and attention to detail. The hotel itself blends timeless elegance with modern comfort, the lobby and common spaces are beautifully designed, while the rooms are spacious, luxurious, and impeccably maintained.

One of the highlights was the outstanding service. Every request was handled promptly and with genuine care, whether it was dining recommendations, housekeeping, or concierge assistance. The amenities are equally impressive, the rooftop pool offers a serene escape with stunning city views, and the spa is a true sanctuary.

What really sets the Ritz-Carlton Montreal apart is how effortlessly it makes you feel at home while still offering world-class luxury. It’s clear that the team takes great pride in ensuring every guest has a flawless experience. I left feeling refreshed, cared for, and eager to return.

Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Montreal, you simply won’t find a better combination of elegance, comfort, and service.

We were only there for the afternoon tea so I can’t comment for the other aspects. It was great value. We thought the service was professional and courteous. The pastries were good, and the savory snacks had a Montreal-specific twist to them which was a nice touch. I particularity appreciated the live pianist.

Love love loved this hotel! From the check in process, you know it’s going to be a good stay. We were promptly greeted by the valet. Check in at front desk was super efficient. We were offered cold towels and water, and we were even given drink tokens for having gold status. These “tokens” were something else - think Ritz Carlton specific silver coins. I almost wanted to save mine as a souvenir but the espresso martini was calling to me. The front desk staff walked us to our room and showed us the room features. Our room was decorated with rose petals for our anniversary and we received a handwritten card with snacks to celebrate. Best macarons I’ve ever had.

The bed was super comfy and I loved the toilet (automatic sensor, heated seats, bidet). We had a nice view from our room.

During our stay, we visited Palm Court (lobby bar) and Maison Boulud for dinner. Ambiance, food, drinks were so good!

Location is very central and walkable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were sad when we had to leave. The spa looked nice - will have to try this next time. Thank you to Jorge and the front desk staff (I’m sorry I don’t remember her name - tall lady with glasses) for your hospitality. We can’t wait to come back!

World Class experience.From the entrance the staff greet you with smile,and gave us towels and waters.We smoothly check in asking how is our travel,very friendly staff and fairly treated well.
The location was perfect right in the middle of everything the service was perfect whatever you need they were there to help the room was pretty big for a hotel and it was also a massive building and it was also really fancy and it was literally in middle of everything perfect location.
Room service is spectacular.The staff at the pool is very patience and helpful to us.
I would highly recommend.

Our recent stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Montreal truly felt like something out of a storybook. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. The staff weren’t just professional—they were warm, funny, and genuinely attentive. They helped us plan our adventures around town with ease and always made us feel completely at home.

We were in Montreal for a festival, and even with all the excitement of a busy weekend, the service never missed a beat. Every detail—from the thoughtful touches to the gracious hospitality—was handled with care. It’s no exaggeration to say the experience was unforgettable.

I enjoyed it so much, I extended my stay by another day—which is something I rarely ever do!

If I had one small suggestion, it would be to modernize the in-room TV system to allow guests to easily connect their personal streaming services. That aside, The Ritz-Carlton, Montreal is pure luxury, warmth, and elegance. If you’re visiting the city and want a memorable, five-star experience—this is where the magic happens.

I've stayed at numerous nice/expensive hotels around the world and frequently have good experiences - places with nice lobbies, nice rooms, friendly staffs - but nothing that is super noteworthy. I had a recent visit to The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto for a conference and for the first time in a while was genuinely impressed by a hotel. From the very moment of check-in it felt like an elevated experience - staff that went out of their way to make that little extra effort like walk you to the elevator or send up some complimentary drinks to your room. It for sure felt like a next level experience.

The room was so nice. Extremely spacious bathroom with a large bathtub and walk-in shower - the finishing and the fixtures stood out - just an all around cozy and comfortable experience from the moment you walk in. And the room itself was great - plenty of luxurious pillows, a big desk, several chairs - of course its still a regular hotel room nothing super fancy but it just felt like little extras every time I turned around. And finally a perfect view of the CN Tower from the window. Couldn't have really asked for anything more.

The conference area as well was a good experience. Friendly and kind staff, delicious food - a smooth operation.

The location is of course good - just a few minutes walk to Union Station and 10 or 15 to the waterfront.

Enjoyed a fabulous stay at the Ritz-Carlton to celebrate our 15 year anniversary with our 9 year old daughter.

Upon check-in they had to shuffle some things around to secure a room with a king-size bed, which was appreciated. However I was then concerned we wouldn't have anything set up in the room to celebrate the anniversary as I'd requested...lo and behold, about 45 mins after checking in, a very friendly member of staff dropped off a balloon and bottle of sparkling wine to our room...It's little touches like this which really set the true luxury properties apart.

Any interaction with staff was warm and generous without ever feeling over-bearing. The rooms and lobby are beautifully decorated...there is just quality everywhere you look (such as solid marble walls and floors in the bathroom suites or the truly incredible robes!

Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend - excellent location in the heart of Toronto to boot!

We had an incredible stay for my birthday weekend. Our corner suite was spacious, comfortable, and blissfully quiet—perfect for unwinding. Our suite included access to the Club Lounge, which quickly became our favourite spot to relax. The food offerings throughout the day were outstanding, and we enjoyed fantastic wine and cocktails whenever we liked.

The staff truly made the experience exceptional—especially Olga in the Club Lounge. Her warm smile and radiant energy each evening were unforgettable, and we’ll genuinely miss her.

Even knowing we were at a five-star hotel and fully aware of the cost, we were still blown away by the level of service and the way we were cared for from start to finish.

We’re already looking forward to the next time we can treat ourselves to another visit.

5 stars for the club level and their staff. 0 stars for their manager Max Reidel-Arriagada.
Visit on 9/1/25 for our father's birthday. We kept his birthday gift in our room safe. Prior to leaving for his birthday dinner, the safe malfunctioned and did not open. Upon calling for help, we were told that the engineer will be called when he is available. After waiting 15 minutes, we were already behind schedule and could not wait for him. We proceeded to the club lounge to celebrate the occasion. At that time, our dinner was interrupted and asked to return to our room for the engineer to resolve the safe issue. After a 15 minute ordeal, the situation was finally resolved. But, this all came at an expense of hindering our plans for the night. Max, the manager, was not able to offer us a resolution prior to check out and promised to reach out to us within a day. After nearly a week, he did not reach out to us as promised. Upon reaching out to him, he dismissed the situation and was not able to offer a reasonable compensation. Very disappointed in Max. Ritz Carlton needs to hire managers that truly care and are compassionate about the expectations of their guests. Perhaps you should stay at the Four Seasons for a true 5 star experience.

Exceptional Service and Prime Location — A Few Room Quirks, But Still Worth It

I recently stayed at The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto and had a memorable experience—mostly thanks to the outstanding service, especially from the Club Lounge team and front desk staff. The hotel’s downtown location is unbeatable and makes exploring Toronto very convenient (plus, it’s just a short walk from the UP Express train from the airport!).

Upon arrival, I had an issue with my reservation (entirely my fault), but the front desk associate was kind, professional, and helped me get everything sorted out smoothly. Once checked in, I did notice a few issues with the room’s cleanliness and some rips in the sheets. I brought this up the next morning, and the front desk manager could not have been more apologetic or accommodating. He went above and beyond and upgraded us to a beautiful suite on the top floor with Club Lounge access to make up for the inconvenience—truly excellent service.

We upgraded our stay to include Club Lounge access, and I highly recommend it. While we don’t drink, the overall value of the lounge is fantastic—the food offerings were fresh and varied, and the service was impeccable. The team even noted my allergies and made sure I had safe, delicious options at each meal.

The hotel also features a well-equipped gym and a full-service spa. Unfortunately, the pool was closed during our stay, but I’d definitely come back when it reopens. One area for improvement: the rooms could use a refresh. The TV was a bit outdated, and there were a few signs of wear and tear throughout the space—nothing major, but noticeable at this level of hotel.

Overall, I would absolutely return to The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto—especially to celebrate a special occasion. The staff make you feel valued, and the service truly reflects the Ritz-Carlton name.

I just stayed at the University Club of Toronto. First, the location is in easy walking distance to most downtown things including great restaurants and activities. The service included a nice continental breakfast. The in room coffee machine was awesome. The staff was incredibly professional and polite. The property was well maintained and very quaint and comfortable. They had many activities for signup. The bed was so comfortable. I slept like a baby even in a downtown area. Highly recommended.

We recently hosted our wedding at the University Club of Toronto and they were absolutely incredible to work with. The food was five star, the venue is stunningly beautiful and the staff went out of their way to help us at every opportunity. They made us and our guests feel so welcomed and as though none of our requests were too big or small. Each and every staff member we dealt with was kind, helpful and professional.

We recently became members of the University Club of Toronto, and also hosted our wedding reception at the Club. As younger members of the Club, we've loved seeing the energy and events hosted at the Club - it's been such a great way to meet Torontonians and enjoy an absolute gem in the middle of the city.

Our wedding was the most perfect night - the entire Events team and staff at UCT went above and beyond to ensure that our reception was flawless. They helped us through the planning process, were extremely responsive and helpful whenever we had questions, and the hospitality was just off the charts.

We've received nonstop compliments on the entire evening - the incredible beauty of the Club, the intimate setting for our reception, the service was spectacular, and most complimented was the food!! Our cocktail hour and the delicious quality of dinner have been the talk of our guests! We even had a few out of town family and friends stay at the hotel at the Club, which made the experience even better.

We cannot recommend the Club enough for any private function, wedding or otherwise, and really encourage other Toronto residents to consider joining as a member. You'll meet wonderful individuals, benefit from amazing amenities and events, you'll gain access to reciprocal clubs around the world, and you'll have a delightful space in the heart of the city to enjoy.

Went to a wedding for my cousin. Was about 100 ppl and the food and service was excellent. Unfortunately the ceremony was in the room facing University Ave and you could hear the protestors who are next door out front of the US consulate. Beautiful paintings and the architecture is also beautiful. Great place for small function if everyone lives downtown or is riding a bike

My wife and I hosted our wedding at the UCT this summer. Wonderful experience! Professional service, delicious food, beautiful space. Would highly recommend it as a wedding/event venue for those that enjoy old-world charm and hospitality.

Every time I rent an item, it's in pristine condition. Delivery is always punctual, set up smoothly, and picked up without any hassle. Super reliable and so easy to work with! And the best part—there’s such a huge selection of stunning items to choose from for all kinds of events. Highly recommend!

Attended Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel The Exhibition. It was awesome! When you realize this was done in the 1500s, amazing! It is only on in Toronto until Apr. 2/23.

Can't thank the staff enough! They did so much to make the entire day perfect. The service, attention to detail and professionalism was top notch. The owner is so great to work with. The food and bar service were exceptional. We saved so much money and worry on decor, as they have so many items available for use. The venue is constantly updating and adding value to the property and decor. Thank you!!"

Have never been here, had never heard of it. Not surprising with the lacklustre name! This space is made for parties and special events. Cool indoor space, with all sorts of options, large outdoor patio area. Just loved it!

I recently attended an event at the Toronto Event Centre, and it was a great experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The venue itself is really beautiful, with modern and stylish decor that creates a vibrant atmosphere and makes one really get involved with ongoing activities.

The event I attended was well organized, everything was evenly coordinated. I would like to attend more such events at this venue.

We love this place but it's a bit of a trek. Went to see frog and toad. Have gone to gluten free garage in the past and this was much more chill.

Great playground! Unique playground equipment, my son loves to climb the web line Spiderman and the rotating monkey bar wheel thing. Splash pad is cool too.

A big city gem! The Saturday morning market is something everyone should experience, and you'll likely want to keep coming back! Come hungry and bring your shopping bags for fresh produce, cheese etc...

Attended Halloween Howl with Solid and Rob with my little ones. Amazing show if you have not taken it in. The farmers market is not to be missed either. Highly recommended. It's a good way to meet other members of the community and it's important to teach our children how they can be part of the local community.

Nice event place. Came for one. The location and area is nice. Would come back to check out their farmers market

A nice way to connect with the neighborhood and community. One get authentic fish roti, Tibetan momo's, homemade sushi and miso soup, fresh pastries, baked goodies, cheese, meat and fruit and vegetables. The price is a bit high but it's worth it.

Great place to take a stroll and just enjoy the sunshine. Stores and markets are a nice place to hangout and relax. There’s plenty of pay-parking. The building is beautiful old architecture. The surrounding area is worth a visit and enjoy the facilities

Beautiful spot to be an exhibitor! We rarely are in a venue with natural light, so this is my favourite! The beautiful outdoor farmer’s market on Sundays is an added bonus!

There always seems to be something happening at Aberdeen pavilion. Whether it's the 613 flea or the Farmers market, to cultural events, you can find something to enjoy. It's historical significance to Ottawa is also something to come and read about.

The beer and taco festival was held here and it was amazing 🤩 . I really had a nice time here with family and friends you will see that in my videos 😄😃. It’s really spacious with a lot of businesses on site. As the name goes beer and 🌮 so that’s what was sold in here. Your cash is being converted to plastic coins and that’s what you use to purchase food and drinks 🍺 . Cash only.

613Flea Market is great. Good deals too. Food is delicious.

Great event venue with attentive staff. Was here for a corporate event recently and the place still lives up to its high standards. The food was on point and cooked well.

Modern, clean venue with a fantastic view of Old City Hall.

After losing our venue to the Berkeley Events closure, and scrambling to figure out a plan b, we reached out to O&B. Megan from the Arcadian quickly replied and we had a call set up with her within the day. Cut to, the day of our wedding: Everything went impeccably well. The food was amazing, the venue was beautiful and the staff were superb. Daniel was our coordinator on the day and he was on the ball. Would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone. Thank you!!

Location with a beautiful view of city hall, nice ambiance and delicious food!

Amazing event, with beautiful decorations and delicious food.

We had a beautiful and memorable experience at Bridalane! Lisa is a wealth of good ideas, tips and information and is so patient, kind and has a great sense of humour. Her expertise was so appreciated. My dress arrived and I am so happy! We would recommend Bridalane 100%! Thank you Lisa and Jeff!

A hidden gem! My mother in law and I had a great experience at Bridalane. Lisa is so full of great tips, she’s patient and was great to work with. Definitely recommend coming here.

Had a fantastic experience at Bridalane! They have a huge selection of dresses with lots of unique options at all different price points, and I ended up purchasing something I don't think I could have found anywhere else! A great place to check out if you don't want a white dress. ;)

Lisa was wonderful to work with, she was so knowledgeable and never once pressured me into buying (in fact, encouraged me to look more because I was pretty set in what I liked lol) Jeff and Lisa have made such a friendly, stress-free environment and I can't recommend them enough!

Wedding dress shopping can be quite stressful but then i found Bridalane! Lisa was so easy to work with and so helpful. I never felt pressured or rushed. She was always so friendly, funny and always in a good mood! I strongly recommend them for anyone looking for an amazing experience with wedding dress shopping. Thank you Lisa!

Update: Better late than never 🤗 My wedding dress made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I couldn’t have been happier ♥️ Thank you again Lisa 🥰

I had the most incredible experience at Bridalane thanks to Lisa! She helped me find my wedding dress, and I couldn't be happier! Lisa's knowledge of the dresses was astounding — despite the huge selection, she knew exactly which ones would fit my style and preferences.

What really stood out to me was her patience and understanding of my tight budget. Lisa never once made me feel uncomfortable about it; instead, she worked hard to find options that not only matched my budget but also made me feel special. Her attention to detail and dedication to making sure I was happy with my choice truly made all the difference.

It might be important to note that I had gone to ~several~ other bridal shops and the experience elsewhere was far from enjoyable. Bridalane was a game changer for me and I highly recommend it!

We had our Ring Ceremony and Jaago on August 25th at Calgary Hellenic Banquet Hall and it was perfect. The hall was beautiful, everyone loved it, and Anastasia made the whole process so easy. She helped us from start to finish and coordinated smoothly with our vendors. Highly recommend!

We have used the Calgary Hellenic Banquet Hall for two wedding receptions for our daughters and I have attended other events there as well. Each experience has always been thrilling. Anastasia is always a pleasure to work with and the hall offers an atmosphere of class, comfort and cleanliness. I definitely recommend it for family or corporate events. You can't go wrong with your choice of the Hellenic!

Rented this hall two times this year for my kid’s birthday parties. Beautiful hall! Spacious and clean! Anastasia, the manager was so pleasant to work with. She was efficient sending information and booking me in. She was very helpful and ensured that all the chairs and tables were set up accordingly. Both parties were a success and all the guests had a wonderful time ! I will definitely be booking parties here again in the near future! Highly recommend this venue !

Wonderful place to have an event! Our swimming club have had a year end event at the Hellenic hall with over 250 attending and it was great experience! Anastasia is amazing to work with. We have access to everything we need, place is neat and everything was organized for us with excellency. We will be back next year 100%

I had our my milestone Birthday Party and Client Appreciation Day on September 5th 2025 at Calgary Hellenic Banquet Hall and it was perfect. The hall was beautiful, everyone loved it, and Anastasia made the whole process so easy for us. She assisted and helped us from start to finish and coordinated smoothly with our vendors. Highly recommend and will not hesitate to organise an event there again.

My husband and I had our wedding here on October 12th, 2024. Everything was absolutely perfect. I can’t thank Justin enough for being the best wedding coordinator we could have ever asked for. He was by our side through this whole process, was honest and beyond helpful. I would also like to thank Marcos for being an absolute godsend on the day of our wedding. His attention to detail made my vision come to life. Our food was exquisite and our guests raved about how amazing our food was especially our stations during cocktail hour. The staff was also so amazing and caring. Thank you again so much for making our wedding the best day ever!

We absolutely love shooting weddings at Espace Gare Viger, and we consistently leave with beautiful images and happy clients. For couples looking for a memorable and visually striking venue, we highly recommend Espace Gare Viger!

Where do we start…. 🥹 Incredible venue, incredible location, unprecedented staff, unforgettable event, most delicious food +++. We cannot recommend this venue more! Justin is the BEST! he helped us with all the details from day 1, he was extremely flexible with our demands and the Gentile team made this event a fairytale!! The feedback we got from our guests was awesome, everyone LOVED the food and talked about how caring the servers and Maitre were! The stations were generous and extremely delicious as well!
Mario kept coming to me and my husband during the wedding to ask us if we needed anything. Cannot thank you all enough, you made our wedding unforgettable! ❤️

Beautiful venue and excellent service for any event like corporate or wedding. Visited here Sept 2018 for reception. Not sure if food for the International Buffet was externally catered but it was fresh and excellent. Main course food was good too. Wide variety of drinks selection.

Getting to the side entrance is a little tricky by car. Plenty of parking space in the front and side.
Can't recall if there was wheelchair entrance doors but seemed wide enough to allow.

We had our son’s wedding at Gare Viger and it was a wonderful experience! It was a beautiful venue, the food was amazing, the staff outstanding and the ambiance was perfect! A one stop shop with the reception hall offering an outdoor ceremony in the courtyard. Alex was great to work who made sure to deliver top notch service. We were delighted with the entire celebration. Thank you Gare Viger staff !

It was nothing short of a perfect day! The venue, food, decor and service was top notch. So grateful for all the memories created that day, that we will cherish for a lifetime

I had very high hopes for this venue!!

I received a prompt responses to my initial inquiry and subsequent emails requesting information and confirmation of date availability for planning a 50th wedding anniversary celebration for our parents. Everything was great through to visiting the venue and meeting with Paula and her team. When I was leaving I asked the next steps to pay the deposit and secure the date. I was told to email once I confirmed with my family that we were good to go. I emailed confirmation later that evening (June 8).

It's now July 2, and after multiple emails and phone messages, I have not heard a word back from Paula. Nothing.

To say I’m disappointed is an understatement as everything about Four Sisters Farm checked all our boxes for what we were wanting for this special day.

Is it a beautiful space, yes!
Is it reasonably priced compared to other similar venues, yes!
Is the communication from the venue owner good, absolutely not!!! When planning any event no matter the size, good communication with potential and paying customers is KEY!!!

Bran and Paula are amazing people! Great food! Great staff! Beautiful venue!

I can't thank Four Sisters Farm enough for their outstanding service! We were in a bit of a last-minute situation, and Paula and her incredible team came to our rescue. From start to finish, they were there every step of the way, making sure every detail was perfect. The venue itself was transformed into a beautiful space that exceeded our expectations. It was everything we wanted and more. We're so grateful for their hard work and dedication. If you're looking for a venue that goes above and beyond, The Four Sisters Farm Wedding Venue is the place to be!

Had a great lunch at the little bistro. Friendly staff

So many activities and camps for kids. Both of mine have gone here for many years and done numerous different camps. You an enjoy craft fairs and one of a kind shows in the main hall, which is awesome. Too many different things to list, come see for yourself.

Attractive community centre in a large, old, nicely renovated building. It may have been a church or masonic temple in the past. The event I was at was in the large hall up the central staircase. The space is bright and airy with a high large domed ceiling. Tall windows on 2 sides of the hall let plenty of sunlight in and the interior lighting is excellent.

Had a booth for the Great Glebe Garage sale, event staff were helpful, clean washrooms, needs recycling bins.

I missed the monthly social dance event held in the beautifully domed hall. This dance program provides seniors good exercise opportunity as well as social interaction. Too bad that the social dance event is put on hold because of COVID-19 pandemic. I hope that the pandemic will be over soon and our life can get back to normal. Thumbs-up to Health Ottawa for a great job to control the pandemic!

Very nice community place…with a lots of activates.
Is sad the parking space is a struggle when are events

Beautiful venue! I attended a wedding here and everything was stunning—the garden, the trees and fountain created such a charming atmosphere. The service was excellent and very professional, and I loved the elegant linens and décor. I’ve been to many weddings, but this one truly felt special.

There are truly no words to describe how incredible this venue is. We had our wedding here and Riley made every single one of my visions come to life. She was attentive, kind and one of the best in the business. I truly could go on for this entire post of how amazing not only this venue is, but the staff, the aesthetic and the vibe. Riley thank you for everything you did to make our night so special and being the ABSOLUTE best.

The venue was absolutely stunning, and every detail of our wedding day was executed flawlessly by the incredible staff. Many of our guests commented afterward that they had never seen such impeccable coordination and attention to detail at a wedding venue.

Riley guided us through the entire planning process, answering all our questions promptly and making everything feel seamless. On the big day, Liane was there to assist, and she was nothing short of amazing—kind, helpful, and always ready to lend a hand.

Even with on-and-off rain throughout the day, the staff pivoted effortlessly, making adjustments with speed and grace to ensure everything stayed on track. Their professionalism and kindness truly made our wedding day unforgettable.

We couldn’t recommend this venue more highly!

(June 2024)

We recently celebrated our wedding at Graydon Hall in early September, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From our first meeting with Riley to the final moments of our big day, everything was seamless and memorable.

The food was exceptional, and the venue offers countless stunning spots for wedding photos—both indoors and outdoors. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our requests, always eager to help make the day as special as possible.

If you're looking for a venue that beautifully balances outdoor charm with elegant indoor spaces, we wholeheartedly recommend Graydon Hall.

On Oct 19 2024, our daughter and her fiancee celebrated their wedding at the beautiful Graydon Hall Manor.

It was a morning wedding, so my husband and I arrived at the facility at 8 AM. Since minute one, we experienced a delightful service.

One of the team members spoke to us in Spanish, our native language, and offered us a cup of coffee.

Later on, Sara, from Malaga Spain, very warmly took care of my family members and me in Spanish. Sara tirelessly kept checking on us with a smile during the event.

The team member at the expresso bar did a great job as well.

The event manager also warmly approached my husband and myself to get our feedback on the service.

We very much appreciated the personalized service that we received. Thanks!

The facilities at the Graydon Hall Manor are beautiful and very well maintained. The small chapel is lovely and has a good amount of chairs.
We had the liberty of walking around to take nice pictures in the gardens.
The parking is free and has plenty of space.

All in all, it was a great experience and we absolutely recommend the Graydon Hall Manor!

MashaAllah very good venue to hold an event. We recently had a wedding hosted there.The administration was very cooperative and helpful.
Special thanks to brother Waheed, the chef for preparing delicious Afghan meal for our guests.
JazakhAllah.

Beautiful and well maintained, the steps at the entrance is what every visitor need to be cautious about..high heels and boots may be a bit worrisome at the time of winter or a rainy day... ample amount of parking and a good place to host events.

I had a good experience decorating for my customer small and simple wedding. Good communication, easy to contact anytime . Beatiful hall , big space and clean .I would recommend it for my clients .

Attended Al-Fitra elementary school iftar during Ramadan- was blown away by the atmosphere - brilliant decor, lighting and well executed event. The basement space was used for prayer allowed the upstairs setup to remain intact during the event but could use a little upgrade.

I have been using the hall of peace as an event coordinator for over a year now. I have been very happy with my experience. Whether I was hosting a wedding, any community gathering or my live performance event everything always went very well.

The staff who work here are very friendly and are have been very helpful in addressing both the needs of my clients and any event I have hosted there personally.

The main hall is beautiful with an amazing ambience and great for weddings or larger community event as I have had up to 120 guests at one time and it was still spacious.

The downstairs hall can easily fit a lil over 50 to 60 people and is great for smaller events and gatherings.

There is plenty of parking and my guests have always enjoyed the events I have been able to host here. I am very happy with my experience with this multipurpose event space and will definitely be using it again and again!

We recently had a wedding at Lago and it was everything we wanted and more!

From the very beginning Gyneya and her staff were amazing. They are very detail oriented and do everything in their power to take all the stress off of you and onto them. Your wedding is their priority and they want your vision to come to life. Their pricing is very fair and transparent.

We were in the Vista room (upstairs) with around 80 guests and it was the perfect size. The dance floor was able to be open all night and no tables needed to be moved after dinner.

The food is phenomenal! Many of our guests made specific points to us on how great the food was. And as a bonus the portion sizes are large too!

I used to work for a catering company as a server for weddings and have been to many venues. I can say this is the best venue I've ever been to and cannot recommend it enough!

The cheesecake is also out of this world!! We had a handful of guests make the point to let us know it was the best cheesecake they ever had.

If you're still reading this, stop! And book your date already before it's booked up.

We held our wedding reception at Lago this past spring, and it was exactly what we had prayed for. The space was inviting and well-organized, with a sensible layout that worked well for our guests. We especially appreciated its interior industrial design and beautiful views of Dow’s Lake.

Planning with Gyneya and her team — including Kayly, Kim, and others — made all the difference. They were welcoming, efficient, and generous. Even during our reception, Lago’s staff members were incredibly kind, considerate, and accommodating, all of which contributed to a smooth and enjoyable evening.

The food was excellent — fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully plated. Our guests' favorite dishes included the fried halloumi cheese skewer hors d'oeuvres, the heirloom tomato salad appetizer, and the braised beef short rib entrée. Gyneya and her team were very flexible with our dietary requests. Service throughout the night was attentive and well-paced.

We're so pleased to have chosen Lago for our wedding reception and would confidently recommend it to any engaged couple looking for a great planning experience and a memorable wedding celebration!

My Daughter got married there last night and it was perfect. The venue was just the right size for the event, we had the service first and while the family left for pictures, the staff set up for appetizers and dinner. Appetizers were a selection of deep fried cheese sticks and spring rolls etc. they were all done perfectly and sauces were delicious. Dinner did not disappoint either, there was a choice of salmon, strip loin steak or risotto. They again were perfect. Crème Brûlée was the finishing touch and was spot on. The staff and the facility was so polite and polished I couldn’t say enough about them. Gyneya coordinated a fabulous evening. As for the room itself, the lighting was beautiful and a perfect backdrop was a warm evening on Dow’s lake. I hope this doesn’t come across as AI because it was real and for our Daughter and Son-in-Law it was perfect. Thank you.

Amazing wedding venue! Staff were amazing all night :) Food was delicious. It’s nice that it’s on the water so you can hangout outside if you want as well.

My husband and I got married here last month. This place is a hidden gem in my opinion. You get a whole wedding package, amazing food choices, and the staff goes through the whole planning process and schedule with you. You bring your own decorations but they set everything up for you. It’s also so affordable compared to other venues. They made the whole experience easy.

Many stores, parks, plenty of parking and lots to do. Markets on weekends great times and vibes for all ages

Just walked down the canal to the park and shops. Scenic walk and rich history area.

Lots of fun at Landsdowne park. Hubby and I have gone to the cinema and enjoyed the restaurants and bars. There is a delightful farmers market that you have to check out. We have attended activities in the horticulture building and salsa danced in the plaza. Great place and be sure to check out all the activities.

I love coming here in the winter with my children to skate on the outdoor rink and toboggan on the hill next to TD Place.

This park space is great, as you can skate most of the winter thanks to the refrigerated rink, and play basketball in the warmer months when the rink is converted into a basketball court. As for the hill and field, what is a perfect spot for tobogganing in the winter becomes an ideal area for everything from hosting music festivals to offering great green space to play in.

Lansdowne Park has really been revamped over the years. There are several pedestrian paths and some paid parking off to the side. There is a nice event space in Aberdeen Pavilion as well as some restaurants and Cineplex. The aesthetics are there but could use more varied or local shops in the franchise mix.

We recently had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at Mont Blanc Reception Hall, and it genuinely felt like a hidden treasure! From the moment we stepped inside, the warm atmosphere and distinctive charm of the venue drew me in. If you’re on the hunt for a place that combines both character and sophistication, Mont Blanc Reception Hall is an excellent choice! We are really looking forward to returning to capture more beautiful memories in this delightful space!

My wife and I had an amazing experience for our wedding at Le Mont Blanc. Working with Angie, Enza and Luciano was a breeze, they are always available to help you organize your event. The service was good and our guests are still raving about the quantity and quality of the food! Great choice for a venue

Excellent experience at this beautiful location. Wedding was fantastic, the event hall was elegant. Service was professional and excellent. The food was definitely high-end quality Italian!

The barista Ramona was a highlight. A beautiful venue I would recommend for any special event.

Food was good, first floor salon was very small and extremely hot, Parking a bit away (end of the street). service not five star asI was drinking my wine and sudenly the guy came and pick my glass cuz he wanted to empty the table. Samething happened to my appetizer dish.

The salon is absolutely stunning!
The old church architecture creates such a unique and serene atmosphere and intricate details. A blend of the classic aesthetic with modern salon amenities is perfection.

Booking this venue for our wedding was the best decision we ever made. We’ve seen weddings at many locations in Montreal and surrounding areas including la Maison Principale, the Ritz, Sugar Shacks and others. We took a gamble by booking the Salon as we had never seen a wedding there, but that was a bit of the appeal. We wanted something special and unique. In order of priority for us, here are our highlights.

Where to begin with the food! Be it the cocktail period, the main dish or the dessert table, everything was phenomenal. Quality AND quantity were amazing (and I have Egyptian parents who won’t shy away from complaining about food)! We never had a fish option at a wedding with so much richness that it held itself against the filet mignon in terms of quality and flavour (we served the Miso Cod). On top of all that, we had many guests with severe allergies and they all came to tell us how this was one of the first weddings where they didn’t get an allergic reaction proving the quality and organization of their kitchen.

Talking about organization, Danielle (the venue’s owner) and Emilie (the included wedding planner) were both amazing at giving us the guidance we needed to make our day perfect specifically for us. Danielle was mostly there in the big picture planning and Emilie on the week/day of. Because the day of the wedding is so important, Emilie was the highlight. No need for another wedding planner, she’s the real deal. Organizing the timing of the ceremony (which we did on site), moving things along, coordinating with the vendors, remembering little details, fixing bumps in the road and going out of her way to get someone to pick up our midnight meal from McDonalds, she did it all with the utmost skill! We couldn’t tell her thank you enough!

Last point to highlight, which initially wasn’t so important, but was highlighted by so many of our guest was the lights and sound in the hall. The lighting changed throughout the night and was always beautifully adjusted to set the right mood. The stereo system was never too loud to make you feel uncomfortable, but was heard all across the room. The speeches were so crisp that recordings of it on iPhones were perfectly understood (something rarely seen). Our DJ hooked up to their system and the rest was easy.

I could go on, but really I’m not including negative points as my wife and I couldn’t think of any! This was truly a magical day made extra special by the amount of quality work that The Salon Richmond team put into it. Thank you to everyone!!

I would highly recommend this hall for any event. Le Salon Richmond is breathtaking. The lighting, sound & overall ambiance are among the best I've seen in Montreal. It's also a nice feature that the lighting is adjustable throughout the event. I was hired independently to film a corporate event and I witnessed the guests visibly enjoying themselves. Their team felt professional & I also felt that the staff was present for the guests' needs. The bar service was in demand all night and they delivered. Also has a nice stage. Great building for a wedding.

Beautiful old church that will have you feeling like you entered a party in Blade. Spacious place to host private events like company parties.

This space is so beautiful, peaceful and the sound, accoustics travel well throughout the space. I really enjoyed my experience here and am looking forward to returning. I would definitely consider renting the space for a big event.

We had the pleasure of having our wedding at Liberty Grand in the Centennial Room this past June and we have nothing but great things to say.

From planning to event execution, everything was perfect. Eleni assisted us with coordination and was always quick to respond if we had any questions.

Our guests really enjoyed the food and service from the staff. We had both bars opened during our wedding with no drink lines which was amazing. Thank you so much to everyone at Liberty Grand that made our day perfect :)

This is a beautiful and elegant venue. It's perfect for a special event or celebration. The food was delicious, fresh, and served in just the right portions. I especially appreciated the late night snack table with ice cream and burgers, which was a fun and thoughtful touch.

The staff were very good. They were professional and attentive throughout the event. Our parking was covered by the bride and groom, but otherwise, it is paid parking, so that’s something to be aware of.

There were a few downsides worth mentioning. The bar is located outside of the hall, which led to many guests gathering around it and lingering outside rather than enjoying the event inside. Accessibility is another concern. There's only one accessible washroom on the main floor, located outside the hall, while the rest are down a flight of stairs. Another con is that the bridal suite is also located downstairs. It’s a small room with just a closet and isn’t the most comfortable or convenient space for a bride to get ready or relax.

Overall, it’s a lovely venue with great food and service, but a few layout and accessibility issues should be considered.

I attended a wedding here recently. The service is efficient and the staff are friendly. The outdoor courtyard for the ceremony is gorgeous.

The food was delicious but the fish option could have offered more in terms of sides (very small portion of vegetables).

As for the bar, it was nice but it would have been better to have more of the basics offered like sparkling wine, fresh lime juice, and they ran out of lime wedges etc.!

Overall a great spot!

We are beyond happy and grateful that we decided to book our wedding reception at Liberty Grand. Everyone we met and worked with, were incredibly helpful and kind. They made our dream wedding come true. From answering our many questions when we first booked the venue, to the well coordinated food tasting, to their ability to organize everything just how we wanted, they have been a pleasure to work with. Olga, was so approachable and understanding and Eleni, was quick to respond and organize. We were extremely happy with the food and received many compliments from our guests. The sound and lighting was excellent. 10/10 would recommend booking Liberty Grand for your wedding.

I found this area to be equally stunning but less crowded than High Park to view the cherry blossoms. I didn't go inside.
