Wedding Ceremony

We had our wedding here and it was everything we dreamed of and more. The food was outstanding (our guests are still talking about it), the drinks were excellent, and the staff were so kind and attentive. A huge thank you to Christine for her guidance and support—she made the planning process easy and our day run so smoothly. We couldn’t have been happier and would recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding or event!

We feel incredibly lucky and honoured to have celebrated our wedding this past Saturday at the beautiful Palais Royale. We booked our date nearly two years in advance, after touring the venue with Christine. We left that appointment feeling something truly special and knew that this was where we wanted to get married.

Throughout the two years of planning, Christine was an absolute dream to work with. She responded quickly to any questions we had, offered suggestions and advice, and consistently kept both of us excited about the entire experience. We never second guessed our decision. Each time we visited the venue for a meeting, tasting, or walkthrough, our excitement only grew.

On the wedding day, the service from the entire team was exceptional. We were genuinely blown away by every single staff member. Many of our guests told us it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended, thanks to the five star food and outstanding service. Even now, we still feel like we’re floating on a cloud.

It’s rare to find a venue that is not only breathtaking but also full of heart. A place that offers incredible service, manages a wedding of over 200 guests with ease, and serves delicious meals to everyone.

If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a single thing. Thank you so much to Christine and the entire Palais Royale team for making our dream wedding a reality.

We had our wedding in summer 2025 and we could not be happier with our decision with Palais Royale as our venue. From the beginning of the planning process to the end of the wedding day celebration, the service provided by Palais Royale was incredible. Their team, led by our in-house coordinator April Chu, worked with us to bring our vision to life. For example, we wanted an Asian-fusion menu for dinner that wasn't part of their standard offering and the head chef personally sat with us to work through a variety of meal options without any upcharges.

Throughout the process, April was in consistent communication with us. She made sure we were informed of key decisions and deadlines in a timely manner. She offered input and advice based on her experience that proved to be very valuable. On the day of the wedding, the entire Palais Team made us feel confident that everything was going to be executed flawlessly.

The Palais Royale is truly a stunning venue, and we chose to do everything on our wedding day there - getting ready, wedding party photos, ceremony, and reception. We decided on this as there were so many picturesque spots at not just the venue, but the surrounding area as well.

We are so happy with how everything turned out. Our guests had so many compliments on the service they received from the staff, as well as how beautiful venue was. The Palais Royale team are true professionals and really take great care in the way they treat their clients.

From the moment we toured Palais Royale, we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. The courtyard patio, with its breathtaking views of the Toronto skyline and Mimico area, created the most serene and romantic atmosphere. The twinkling bistro lights were especially magical and made the space feel enchanting.

We began the wedding planning process with April Chu, who has absolutely phenomenal. She was incredibly detail-oriented and organized, guiding us through each stage of the planning process and keeping us on track with important deadlines. Because of her support, everything came together seamlessly and our wedding day went perfectly without a single issue. The AV team was also amazing and worked flawlessly with our live band.

Our guests were amazed, many saying it felt like a destination wedding with the water views and reflections of the city skyline. It was truly the happiest day of our lives, and Palais Royale made it unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend this venue more highly!

We always get excited when a couple tells us they’re getting married at Palais Royale.

The lakeside location is unreal—sunsets over the water make for some of our favorite portraits. The historic ballroom has such an elegant vibe, and every corner of the venue photographs beautifully.

The team at Palais Royale is also incredible. They’re professional, kind, and keep the day running smoothly, which lets us focus on capturing real moments without stress.

If you’re dreaming of a timeless, waterfront wedding in Toronto, this place is a winner.

We had an amazing experience at Parkview Manor today! The setup was beautiful, and all the staff were incredibly helpful and responsible. Even though we were short on time, they worked hard and made sure everything was ready before our guests arrived. All the tables were perfectly set up before 12pm, which really helped us stay on schedule. The team was supportive and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I truly loved this place and would definitely recommend it. Looking forward to having more events here and creating more wonderful memories!

Thank you to all the Parkview Manor staff

Highly recommend Parkview Manor to anyone planning on getting married. I had my whole wedding ceremony and reception there yesterday. The venue is gorgeous and spacious. The food my wife and I selected was excellent (filet mignon was tender, chicken supreme was moist and not dry). Catering and bar service were top notch. John Kioussis was very professional and supportive from the start when we planned this wedding just 8 months ago. He made the day run so smoothly and stress free as if he was our wedding coordinator/planner. He answered all our questions promptly and was very attentive to every single detail. He was also able to accommodate some last minute logistic changes. Our day felt perfect thanks to him and the team at Parkview Manor.

from the moment we initially stepped foot into parkview, I knew this would be where we would host our wedding. John Q was amazing to deal with from beginning to end. He was attentive to our needs, and explained everything so thoroughly. We had our stag, bridal shower and wedding at Parkview and every event was beyond amazing! Food, Service, Drinks all 10/10. Guests have not stopped talking about our wedding and the food. Food was served so hot, plated very nice and so so tasty! Overall, Parkview was such a dream venue to host such memorable events at, in fact it was so good, we have already promised future events to John!
Thank you John Q, Thank you Parkview! (Some decor pictures from our wedding, and food from my bridal shower, missing some meals)

John and the entire team at Parkview are a glowing example of what fantastic hospitality looks like.

We had our wedding reception at Parkview Manor and from the very first meeting with John, we knew we were in good hands. John was very flexible and open to accommodating requests we had to ensure we hosted the reception of our dreams.

All of the staff members were very kind and attentive to all of our guests needs that evening. You can also rest assured that your guests will be fed extremely well, Parkview’s menu was absolutely delicious and all of the food was cooked to perfection.

All in all, we are absolutely thrilled we had our wedding reception at Parkview Manor and can’t recommend it enough to friends and family. Thanks again John so much for all of your hard work.

From the moment we started planning our wedding, working with John was an absolute pleasure. His kindness, understanding, and flexibility truly made the entire process seamless. He possessed an exceptional ability to explain everything clearly, maintaining a calm and organized approach throughout, always remaining patient with our questions and requests. Beyond his excellent communication, John provided invaluable advice on everything from menu selections and optimal reception timelines to the finer details of event flow, ensuring our vision became a reality. Furthermore, the entire staff at Parkview Manor was simply outstanding. They treated our guests with the utmost respect, handled our food and decorations with meticulous care, and were always readily available to answer any questions, big or small. A special highlight was the consistently praised food; everyone raved about the delicious and expertly prepared dishes. Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Parkview Manor to any couple searching for a venue that combines exceptional service, stunning ambiance, and culinary excellence to create an unforgettable wedding day.

We had our Valentine’s Day dinner here and everything was spectacular! The food was to die for - seriously we loved everything. The drinks were great too. What made it an extra special night is how above and beyond the staff went to make our night memorable. They customized everyone’s menus to include both people’s names so you can take it home as a souvenir, and they took a Polaroid picture of each couple for them to keep. Service was amazing too - everything came out fairly quickly and our waitress was so kind. The atmosphere and vibe was nothing like any other restaurant I’ve been too; it’s hard to describe, looking like you are almost in a house. It’s a huge space with only ~17 tables, making it feel very exclusive. It was my first time here and I would 100% recommend. Hope to visit again in the future!

We recently celebrated a birthday party at Parlor Restaurant, and it was a great experience! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was eclectic and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a special evening.

The food was absolutely outstanding. The Tuna Tataki was a standout—prepared beautifully with a delicate balance of flavors that melted in our mouths. The scallops were another highlight—perfectly cooked and paired with a delicious sauce that brought everything together beautifully.

Beyond the amazing food, the service truly elevated our experience. Our waiter, Aba, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He made sure everything was perfect and went above and beyond to make the night special.

We are looking forward to returning!

Rather ingenious higher end bistro that really leans into its eclectic aesthetic. Love the interior design and focus on unique dishes/drinks. We tried the tuna tataki which was fine then went with the hen and brisket. Both mains were well seasoned and sauced enjoyably. It's a fancy place and they take care of you well but do expect a finer dining price point.

Amazing staff, definitely delicious food. Lovely indeed.

We went to Parlour with a large group to celebrate a birthday and really had a memorable experience. Our server Allison went above and beyond! The food was delicious, with plenty of crowd pleasing dishes (gluten free options, lots of veg dishes. I loved the number of options they had for zero proof cocktails for those not drinking. The location is stunning!

Planning our wedding at Plaza Vogue has been an incredible experience from start to finish! Years ago, I had the pleasure of working for Tony, and even back then, I was blown away by how beautiful and seamless every wedding he was a part of turned out. I always knew that when it was my turn, I’d want to get married wherever he was and he truly exceeded every expectation I had.
From the moment we started planning, Tony made us feel like we were in the best hands. The service, attention to detail, and care he and Nikki put into everything was beyond what we imagined. The international buffet was absolutely overflowing guests are still talking about how much amazing food there was! Each course was beautifully presented, and the sweet table was a showstopper. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Niki was a dream to work with super responsive, kind, and so easy to communicate with. Any time I had a question or needed help, she was right there with a quick answer.
We feel so lucky to have had our reception at Plaza Vogue🤍 august 2nd 2025

We have been absolutely loving our experience planning our wedding reception with Plaza Vogue, so far! From the first time we met Tony, he was so welcoming and took the time to give us the experience we wanted while respecting our budget. Niki has been so kind and helpful with all the small details, we couldn't be more satisfied! It has made wedding planning so easy and enjoyable; they truly make it feel like they want to host your wedding!

We recently had our tasting and once again they amazed us, high quality food, excellent flavours and beautiful plating!

We have already recommended PMG to several of our friends and one of them is getting married at Plaza Vogue this October! So thankful to have found this venue!

What an amazing event organized at Plaza Vogue. I had the best experience ever at Plaza Vogue, the service was great , the ambiance was beautiful, the food there was very tasteful. I would recommend Plaza Vogue for your next weeding, for your next celebration, definitely I am going back for my next event.

Nikki was exceptional. She made me feel calm and relaxed. The venue was extraordinary: decor, service, ambiance and lighting were beyond this world. The food …. Well…. 20/10…. Mouth watering …
Thank you for making our wedding day very special for us and our family and friends.
Maria & Kirby

We had our wedding at Plaza Vogue and absolutely loved our experience! Tony was very helpful in understanding our needs and providing us the wedding of our dreams. Niki was always super helpful and attentive to every detail. Flowers by Lana were beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Our guests loved the food as well, we got lots of amazing comments. 10/10 highly recommend! :)

Rajveer banquet hall hands down one of the BEST in Calgary! The owners are absolutely incredible — kind, hardworking, and always going above and beyond to deliver exactly what you need (and more!). Their dedication and passion truly show in everything they do. They don’t just execute your vision — they elevate it, adding their own creativity and influence to make your event unforgettable. No one can beat their energy, service, or commitment. They make every party a dream come true. Highly, highly recommended!

I attended a party at Rajveer Banquet Hall this past weekend and had such a great time! The hall was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The staff were super friendly and made sure everything ran smoothly. Food was delicious and served on time, and the vibe overall was perfect for a celebration. Would definitely recommend this place for any event!

My husband and I had our reception at Rajveer Hall last week and it was amazing. It was a great pleasure working with the hall, management really did everything they could to bring our reception vision to life. We received so many compliments with how the hall was set up - many guests saying it was the best they had ever seen. The food at Rajveer Hall is the best out of any banquet hall venue in Calgary hands down. We had the best time at our reception here!

Hopes 18th BIRTHDAY DEBUT, April 12th, 2025.

We would like to Thanked Preet, Rajveer and the whole team of Rajveer Banquet Hall Calgary for accommodating Hope’s 18th debut celebration, everyone had a blast & it was all wonderful!

The venue was truly a great place to celebrate huge & elegant gatherings. The place has a grand atmosphere, the space , decors & lightings were all perfect for the occasion. Plus their chef served delectable hot buffet meals, that everyone enjoyed.

The venue has a beautiful & clean washrooms with warmed toilet seats (and it’s automatic).

The best part, Preet & Rajveer are so supportive and they’re not just an ordinary host , they’re there with you to make sure your event will be a memorable one. (thank you)

Everything was just awesome , we will certainly recommend Rajveer Banquet Hall Calgary to our families & friends!

We booked this place for our son's valima, as we had like 380 guests and we were not disappointed at all.
Owners both husband and wife are amazing individuals extremely professional and very helpful in all aspects.

Highly recommend them for all of your occasions their food and service were top notch every one of our guests loved it and their decorations were amazing.

We all loved it thank you again for making our special day and truly special event.

We just had our wedding here on August 23, 2025 in the farmhouse (60 people) and had a fantastic experience. Our coordinator was Linda and we were so lucky to have her. She was extremely organized, kind and never made us feel annoying for asking questions. We were able to go into our day confidently with her help and attention to detail, she even brought us waters when taking pictures and ensured my train was perfect before walking down the aisle! Our bartender was Ellie and she had amazing energy, myself and our guests loved her.

Multiple people told us this was the best weeding food they've had. Neither the chicken or beef was dry and was truly cooked perfectly. Everything was fresh. The service at dinner was amazing. My friend who was pregnant told me later they even checked with her how she'd like her meat cooked and this made her very comfortable eating the meal.

We had signed on two years prior and leading up to the day they were constantly improving the space (fresh coats of paint, etc.) it was fantastic. Also another small thing I loved is they don't use the standard banquet chairs, they us beautiful cross back wood chairs, so you don't have to worry about chair covers, etc.

Everything was fantastic and would certainly recommend having a wedding here!

we had our wedding here last weekend and what an incredible experience. Our wedding coordinator Linda was exceptional at facilitating everything and making sure our day ran smoothly. Everyone was in awe at how good the food was. The bar staff was incredibly friendly, even cheering for us when we came in after the ceremony. I could not recommend hosting your wedding/events here enough

We recently celebrated my sister’s wedding at Strathmere and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The venue is stunning, the grounds, the rustic charm, and the atmosphere made it feel magical. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that the day was stress-free for all of us. The food and service were incredible, and the whole experience was more than we could have hoped for. Truly an unforgettable day. Strathmere is the perfect place for a wedding!

We had our wedding at the Garden House at Strathmere and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The venue is stunning, surrounded by beautiful gardens and nature with a warm and elegant atmosphere inside. The staff went above and beyond to make everything seamless and stress free, from planning to the big day.

The coordinators were incredibly helpful and attentive, making sure every detail was handled so we could truly enjoy the moment.

We could not have asked for a better experience and highly recommend the Garden House at Strathmere to any couple looking for a magical wedding venue.

The estate was so luxurious and beautiful. My cousin had her wedding there last weekend and it was so beautiful and grand. The hospitality and service is top notch. You can also visit here to spend time with your family. They even got their own farm, salt water pool and luxurious wellness. Thank you for making us feel welcomed. I will definitely come here for a staycation.

Some fantastic shorts from Montreal f1 race last year, had a really good time the weather was fantastic the people also very friendly I'll give it a star👍👍

Great place for your corporate BBQ.

I was the DJ so take it with a grain of salt.
Great party lol.

Amazing

This restaurant was so cool. Love the ambience with all the flowers and art. Delicious pizza. I don't think this place is meant for kiddos typically but my server was very accommodating for my baby and I during our visit!

Had a fantastic time at YYC Rooftop! The views were amazing, and the vibe was perfect for a lunch out. Abby was our server and she was absolutely great — super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend for good drinks, great atmosphere, and top-notch service!

It was my first time here with my wife and daughter and we enjoyed an amazing, wonderful experience. The food was excellent, the service (Lallista) was superb and we’re definitely coming back again.

10/10 Restaurant. Drinks are yummy but pricey.. although the food is fresh and delicious. I cannot wait to come back. The atmosphere is gorgeous. I RECOMMEND THE WHIPPED FETA BOARD. Amazing !!

What an amazing all-year round covered rooftop restaurant. Absolutely huge, see pics. A great place for larger groups and gatherings. The food was superb, see pics. My only complaint was they didn't top up our water glasses all night. But that didn't stop me giving it 5 stars.

The building is full of histories. The performance in the Chapel with all its surroundings give audiences such a wonderful experience.

I was in this lovely venue for a concert. It was a little difficult to find because signage was lacking. Give yourself extra time to locate the chapel - which is on the second floor. Tip: Just look up to see the stained glass from the ground level.

Great courtyard to enjoy a picnic on. Also, the spot is super secluded so it is a nice getaway from the noise during the summer. Lots of nature trees to photograph if you're a nature lover

Such a beautiful building with period details including ornate railings and stained glass windows. Only one tiny elevator, and no washrooms on main floor.

Beautiful architecture and good place to relax!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We had a wonderful ceremony with Sheri-D and couldn't be happier we picked her to officiate our wedding.

From the very beginning. Sheri-D paid a lot of attention to what we want and feel comfortable with, and she very quickly got a sense of what we might like. We weren't actually quite sure ourselves what we wanted, and her suggestions really helped us flesh out the ceremony we wanted. She suggested some beautiful poems based on what she knew about us and our preferences. After we got a draft from her, we were able to remove or alter anything we didn't like and replace poems and text with our own selections. At no point did she force her opinion on us - she always made sure we were happy with everything and was even willing to rewrite her whole proposal if necessary (which it wasn't - we only needed a few changes).

The most important point however was how she made us feel - Sheri-D is a very caring, insightful person, and immediately felt when I (bride) became stressed or worried, and she'd always calm me down and reassure me. She also offered to help in any way possible, and when we had to move our wedding on VERY short notice due to extreme weather, she was super accommodating and told us she'd make any day work for us. That took a lot of stress of our plate!

The ceremony itself was beautiful and meaningful, with some funny moments. You can tell Sheri-D is a professional speaker, and we got a lot of comments from our friends and family about how great she was.
THANK YOU SHERI-D!

Sheri-D did an absolutely beautiful job officiating our wedding ceremony in Whistler last month. Every aspect of our experience with her was incredible. Upon our initial meeting with her, we were instantly made to feel comfortable and valued. She helped us craft a unique ceremony that was reflective of us in a couple in every way. She was responsive and flexible with changes and offered helpful advice to streamline the ceremony without compromising its integrity . So many of our guests have come to us since to share how much they loved the thoughtful rituals Sheri-D incorporated and that ours was one of the best ceremonies they've ever seen. We are so grateful and honoured to have had Sheri-D officiate our wedding and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a unique and memorable ceremony!

Sheri D performed a beautiful and intimate ceremony for us in August 2017 and I would highly recommend her!

My husband and I didn’t know anything about the parts of a wedding ceremony and were originally planning something very concise. However, when we met with Sheri D she really took the time to get to know us and gave plenty of examples of different components that we could incorporate to make it unique for us as a couple which was extremely helpful. Once we decided on a rough outline, she quickly got back to us with a first draft of our ceremony and when my husband and I read through it we got emotional as it was absolutely perfect and reflected us so well. She provided multiple options for us to choose from for different parts of the ceremony and didn’t get offended or upset when we requested a few small changes for the final draft. Sheri D contacted me the week of our wedding to confirm when/where she needed to be and arrived at the ceremony site early with all the paperwork ready to go.

Sheri D performed the ceremony perfectly and her personality really made it special, she had everyone crying, and laughing, and we can’t thank her enough for creating such a beautiful ceremony that was a perfect reflection of us as a couple. Her suggestions for incorporating our friends and family into our ceremony has given us memories that are truly unforgettable!

Thank you Sheri D!!

Sheri-D performed a beautiful ceremony for our wedding. We met with her a couple of months before the date which gave us a chance to get to know her a bit and her, us. She drafted a ceremony for us allowing for options of poetry, both her own and works of others. We went back and forth a few times before we had a ceremony that felt right for us. In these communications, Sheri-D was respectful and timely. We met a couple of days before the wedding day to go over the ceremony. It was a delightful experience, and we came away sure that the day would be amazing. Indeed it was! Sheri-D arrived early and spent time with me and my husband-to-be prior to the ceremony. When it came to the ceremony itself, she infused it with a playful spirit, and a kindness and respect for everyone there. Her quality of voice in her delivery of poetry was spot on. When asking us to recite the legal vows, she kept her voice quite low so that it was us that was heard by our guests - many commented on this saying that she knew when to lead the ceremony and when to be in the shadows.

When choosing someone who will be the officiant at your wedding, I think it is important to feel a connection with that person when you first meet. We certainly felt that with Sheri-D. We had chosen the poetry, and knew the order of the rituals. We didn’t feel the need to have a definite script for the day. As it turned out, there were some impromptu moments, but Sheri-D sailed through them with grace and wisdom.

We are very grateful to have found Sheri-D, and know that the words spoken at our ceremony were unique to us.

My husband and I commissioned Sheri D to officiate our wedding in July 2017. Sheri D had come highly recommended from a friend who was married roughly 9 months early and we were so happy that we had the chance to work with her.
Not knowing exactly what to expect or how to set up a wedding ceremony, we were grateful to have an expert on our side who we felt cared for us as people. She took the time to ask us questions about our relationship and how we envisioned the day. During the rehearsal and then during the ceremony it was so appreciated to be led by someone who had so much experience and who could really help to remove some stress from one of the most important aspects of our wedding. We even got some great photos before I walked down the isle of Sheri D making sure my husband was doing all right and helping to keep the nerves down while he waited for me in front of everyone.
The actual ceremony was so beautiful, poetic, poignant and us. The words she said rang true to the emotions I was feeling and the connection that I felt to my husband and to the friends/family we had with us. It was about love and life and nature and family, and was also kept to the point and timely (as was requested). Honestly the entire process was exactly what I had hoped for; we had a partner in Sheri D and she was able to strip away our uncertainty about how the day should go and be the guiding energy for the wedding we had dreamed about. I would highly recommend if you want a similar experience and are looking for poetry, honesty and love as you commit to your future life partner.

We had our wedding at the banquet hall and it was a perfect venue for our ceremony and reception. The hall is gorgeous, beautifully maintained and had everything we needed, including tables, chairs, and linens, fully equipped kitchen for our caterers, and full bar service. It was incredible to work with Jason and his team throughout the entire process. He was so helpful and responsive, answered all of our questions and accommodated our many requests! I highly recommend the banquet hall for any event!

Went for the Medieval Masquerade! It's a beautiful place and i really loved the chandelier! The bathrooms are super fancy too! I super enjoyed it!

A good building but, be aware that parking is limited

I did my daughter first birthday party the place was amazing Mr. Alain is a great person and so helpful i am so happy about everything.

Great venue for our wedding reception. Very accommodating and well organized.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tucked away in the heart of Old Montreal, this restaurant offers a truly delightful dining experience. We shared the Swiss cheese fondue (minimum for two), served with hot Earl Grey tea that perfectly balanced the richness of the cheese. The grilled halibut with potatoes featured fresh, tender fish, though the flavor leaned a bit sour for my taste. The cocktails were superb — beautifully crafted and flavorful. The atmosphere is exquisite: elegant, slightly mysterious, and perfect for a special evening out. It is on the pricier side, but still worth it for a special night out.

This place is awesome. From the friendly service to the never ending parade of servers that takes care of all your needs. Not to mention all the food we had were excellent.

We had the fondue, roasted eggplant, rack of lamb, and the orecchiette. To finish the night, we had chocolate mousse, peach cobbler, and the lemon meringue pie.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Culinary Gem with Rich History!

L'Auberge Saint-Gabriel is a true treasure nestled in the heart of Montreal, and my recent visit left me absolutely enchanted! Dating back to the 1600s, the rich history of this restaurant is palpable the moment you step inside.

To top it all off, we indulged in a fine bottle of wine selected by their amazing sommelier, who guided us to the perfect choice to elevate our dining experience.

Overall, L'Auberge Saint-Gabriel is a must-visit for anyone seeking a remarkable meal in a stunning historical setting. I can’t wait to return for another enchanting evening!

For anyone seeking a memorable experience, whether for a special occasion or simply to enjoy one of Montreal’s finest dining destinations, L’Auberge Saint-Gabriel is well worth it.

Let me start by saying, this was the absolutely most incredible meal that we had in Montreal over our 5 day stay. Just wow!

The atmosphere, the music, the fireplace, and the food were outstanding! I had a small but special request in advance for the chef for my meal and they eloquently obliged this request.

The wine selection was perfect. Let’s talk about the filet! Perfectly cooked and so tender! Order the spit grilled cauliflower - absolutely to die for! The brioche buns with rosemary sage butter were a delicious treat! Also we loved the mashed potatoes with incredible sea salt flakes hitting the palate perfectly.

We have been wanting to come here for more than 20 years and it did not disappoint! 5 Stars ✨ We shall return!

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

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

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

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

Had my wedding here back in June. I wish I could the night all over again because I had so much fun. Kaitlynn and Meagan made everything sooo easy and stress free. I can’t thank them enough for all the planning and help they provided ! My husband and I used the Byre as our venue and it was gorgeous and intimate. We loved it.

We got married at Cambium this Fall. It was the best decision we could have made, from start to finish. You can see the venue’s easy, charming beauty in pictures, but what sold us was the warmth and coziness when we toured in person. We got an unusually cold day in October for our wedding, but guests were warm enough for our short ceremony in the Barn, which looked gorgeous and romantic with string lights. We moved to the Byre for cocktails, dinner and dancing, which worked perfectly for our group of 130 (and live band).

We would recommend Cambium in a heartbeat based on how the venue looked and felt on our wedding night. But the biggest reason we felt that Cambium was the best decision we could have made was how incredible the people were. We got to work with Sara Appleton as our coordinator. We just can’t say enough good things about her. In addition to being on top of every detail, and super responsive throughout, Sara was a lovely and reassuring presence who made us feel like we were in the best hands. We didn’t get to work with the other coordinators at Cambium, but we did get the sense that it’s a family-owned business that you’re truly rooting for. Wedding planning can be quite stressful, and for us, feeling like we could trust and rely on the team at Cambium made a world of difference. If you’re looking for a gorgeous Barn wedding venue, working with people who are both kind and fantastic at their jobs, we couldn’t recommend Cambium highly enough.

This past summer my wife and I tied the knot at Cambium Farms. Through the whole experience the were very professional and supportive. Always able to answer any of our questions. Kaitlynn and Megan were wonderful to deal with and really made our dream wedding come to life. The property is beautiful and we absolutely loved the Byre! We would recommend the Cambium Farms venue and team to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding day

My wife and I just had our wedding at Cambium farms, and it could not have been a better experience!!
Julianne, our wedding coordinator, took care of absolutely everything we needed, and was an absolute joy to work with!!
In an industry that seems to inflate all sorts of prices and costs, Cambium farms was very fair, and willing to work within our budget to make our wedding the perfect day we envisioned from the start.
The property was gorgeous, and the ceremony and reception locations were just perfect!

Five stars is not enough!!

If you don't plan your event here..You're an idiot!

We tied the knot at Cambium Farms on July 5, 2024, and it was absolutely perfect!

The farm provided an enchanting backdrop for our special day, with its rustic charm and warm, inviting atmosphere. The barn's authentic character was the perfect canvas for our wedding, blending timeless elegance with a touch of countryside grace. Every detail, from guest arrival to the seamless transition between our ceremony and reception was meticulously coordinated and executed flawlessly.

Julianne and the team were nothing short of incredible, attending to every detail with a level of care and professionalism that truly exceeded our expectations.

I love love love this place, and am so happy we had our wedding here! We got married one week ago at the Enoch Turner School and truly had the best day ever. Its charm in my opinion means less is more. We added a big disco ball in the middle of the room and smaller vases throughout windowsills and in tables. But the place was gorgeous and not lacking!

Stacey was extremely helpful the month leading up to the event, and I cannot be more thankful!

My only caveat was that I was unaware that the person I was communicating with was not going to be there day of until about two- three weeks before. We didn’t have a planner, but I’m super type A so it wasn’t the biggest deal, just would have liked to know sooner!

Thanks to everyone here who made our day amazing!

As a wedding photographer, I'm always excited to shoot at the Enoch Turner Schoolhouse. I love the minimal look with the historical character. The property shared with church next door is great for your wedding photos. If you want more options the Distillery District, Corktown Commons and SOL Atelier Photo Studio are nearby. The staff is super friendly and hard working. Definitely recommend!

I've DJ'd here many times. Love this place!

Visited for Doors Open Toronto 2025 and it was a beautiful space! Loved learning about the first school in Toronto.

Very affordable wedding venue! Ben who was on site for rehearsal and ceremony was great to work with. Roxann, great email communication and was lovely meeting her on the day as well! They have two easels for use, little chalkboards for small signs, and the schoolroom was perfect for a bridal suite - hair & make-up had no problems with their setup and there are four available electrical outlets in the schoolroom. With the main room close to 150 people, it does get hot in the summer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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