Wedding Reception

Everything about our experience at the Andover was wonderful! We recently had our son’s wedding there. Lea and her staff went above and beyond to make this day extraordinary! From the food to the service, I cannot recommend this venue enough. Lea’s attention to details and support throughout the entire planning process should not go unmentioned. I highly recommend working with her if you want to have an unforgettable celebration!

I had the honor of being one of the first weddings at le Andover back in November and what a beautiful experience it was! I cannot recommend this venue enough. You have a beautiful blank slate and with the help of Lea (an absolute GEM) you can really make the space transform into however your heart desires.

The location, the space itself, the parking (huge plus), the staff, etc really make this venue THE spot in MTL to host your next event!

Again, shoutout to Lea and all the staff at Le Andover for making all of my wedding dreams come true!!

Great venue, with an even better team. Working with Lea is an absolute dream for any bride, and makes the wedding planning experience stress-free and fun. Thank you Le Andover for a great experience!!

Gorgeous venue! Amazing food! The BEST service! Cannot say enough great things! Highly recommended!! ❤️ thank you to the amazing staff for making our night perfect!

We had our corporate event. Very good service and ambience.

get married here !!! seriously the best decision ever. from the breathtaking view & the delicious food - you won’t regret it ! The staff are all so nice & great to work with. Special shoutout to Taylor & Grant who were so kind throughout the planning process. The day of our wedding we were treated like a king and queen. Always handed a fresh drink & our food saved for us to ensure we ate & enjoyed. much love to all Belvédère team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable 💕

If you look up “magical” in the English dictionary, you’ll find a photo of Le Belvédère. Every aspect of this venue is top notch and makes your wedding feel special beyond words.

My now wife Hanna and I got married here on June 20, 2025 and we can’t stop thinking about our day. We wouldn’t change a thing about it, every aspect was wonderful.

We owe our day of coordinator Taylor a debt of gratitude, she is the absolute best. If you are planning on getting married here, I cannot recommend her enough. She anticipated and saw to our every need, making sure we wanted for nothing the entire day.

The views at Le Belvédère alone are enough to pull the trigger and book here but it is so much more than what is on the surface. It runs like a well oiled, finally crafted German sports car, everything precise, in lockstep and at peak performance. From the amazing meals to their years of experience holding special days of celebration, the whole team at this venue as a collective has made this place in my humble opinion the best choice for a wedding venue in the Greater Ottawa area.

This was my first time at Le Belvédère and I certainly hope it’s not my last. As a wedding photographer, I cannot say enough good things about this venue from a vendor’s standpoint. Aside from the obvious gorgeous views, the natural lighting is beautiful to photograph in. I definitely want to highlight how wonderful the staff were in treating the vendors as humans. It’s rare to feel cared for during a wedding day at a venue but Taylor and the rest of the staff made it happen. Not only did I have my own plate of hors d’oeuvres brought to me during cocktail hour to fuel me up, but I also had glasses of water brought to me throughout the day to stay hydrated. This may sound minor, but it’s a huge deal in 30°C weather and the attention to care and detail from the staff is huge. I truly had such a wonderful time and again, hope it’s not my last visit!

There is a reason they win Best Wedding Venue year after year. The location is incredible on its own, but the staff make every experience at this venue truly fantastic.

I am a wedding photographer and when I reached out to tour the venue simply to get a feel for the space and experience it for myself, the coordinator Taylor who handled my request was extremely generous with her time and willing to show me around, answer all of my questions, and now, after photographing weddings here, will check in to see if there's anything they can improve on as a venue.

For a vendor who works at several new venues every season, this is incredibly refreshing. But of course, I could think of nothing to say for improvements, because the venue, lighting, food, and staff are 10/10 on every level.

As a wedding photographer, Le Belvédère is easily one of my favourite venues to shoot at. After photographing a wedding here this past Saturday, I completely understand why they consistently receive glowing reviews and accolades year after year. From the moment you arrive, you're immediately struck by the incredible beauty and thoughtful design of the venue. With its breathtaking views, gorgeous ceremony spaces, and reception hall, every corner of Le Belvédère provides the perfect backdrop for unforgettable photos.

What truly sets Le Belvédère apart, however, is their extraordinary team and impeccable service. The entire staff consistently went above and beyond to ensure every moment of the day was flawless. My couple and their guests couldn't stop raving about how attentive, friendly, and professional everyone was, creating an atmosphere that felt warm and genuinely welcoming.

I must give a special shoutout to Grant, their amazing wedding coordinator. He was phenomenal from start to finish, showing unmatched attention to detail, kindness, and genuine care for every single person involved. His presence made everything run smoothly, ensuring my couple could fully relax and enjoy their special day without any worries.

Le Belvédère truly excels in every aspect—from their beautiful spaces and stunning scenery to their outstanding team and first-class service. I genuinely can't recommend Le Belvédère enough—it’s exceptional on every level and I eagerly look forward to returning to capture more wonderful weddings here!

My Husband and I couldn't be happier we chose the Ottawa Wedding Chapel for our small and intimate wedding ceremony. Bonnie and our officiant Luella went above and beyond making sure our day was special. It helps that the chapel and the garden out back for photos is absolutely beautiful. If you're a couple looking for an inexpensive way to include your friends and family look no further, these are are the guys you want!

The Ottawa Wedding Chapel is a fantastic host for a beautiful intimate wedding. Bonnie & her staff are friendly, organized and efficient to ensure that your day goes perfectly.

This was the perfect chapel for us to get married in! We did a small wedding with 40 people, it has ample space and beautiful lighting.
The staff were so amazing!!! Bonnie and Luella are incredibly kind and supportive, they helped us plan every step of the way. The prices are great and affordable and they provide good decorations and furniture!
I would definitely recommend this chapel to anyone and everyone, it's a beautiful place with beautiful people

I highly recommend this wedding chapel. We had such an amazing day, our wedding turned out to be perfect ! The staff were great, very responsive and accommodating. The food was delicious and more then enough to go around.

Pleased with our experience with the Chapel! ^^

Recently had our Intimate Wedding here - affordable, easy to book online, and friendly coordinator, officiant and admin overall. Recommend for a stress-free wedding for a smaller party - ours were just immediate family (but the chapel can house up to 150).

Chapel features stain-glass windows on the sides, wooden finish all over and a garden at the back of the chapel for photos. The party can park in the front, and there is another parking area nearby for the guests. Highly recommend! :)

Let me start off by saying that multiple people came to us after our wedding telling us that our wedding was hands-down the best wedding they've ever been to! And this could not have been possible without Temple's Country Weddings!

We are still beaming from the immense amount of happiness from our wedding day this past weekend at Temple's. We cannot express how absolutely perfect our wedding day was, and how incredible the service was that Temple's provided.

Throughout the planning, Moira, Sherry, and Alexandra were so attentive to every detail, providing us with dedicated attention throughout. The planning documents and templates they provided were so helpful in organizing our thoughts, and really made the process so smooth. As our wedding was planned from out of province, the Zoom calls helped a ton.

The day of the wedding went seamlessly- not once did I feel stressed or rushed. Alexandra kept us on timeline and attended to anything we needed. All of the staff that day were so welcoming and friendly.

The venue is stunning. We got married in the forest venue, and it felt like a magical forest. Every corner of the venue radiates beauty. The bride's loft and the groom's cabin were also so special. The indoor reception was made so intimate with the twinkle lights and white cloth amongst the wooden aesthetic.

We cannot forget about the delicious food! The appetizers passed around during cocktail hour, the smoky beef tenderloin for our main, and the maple dessert were perfect. The buttermilk biscuits during the appetizer course were especially to die for! The late-night poutine also hit the spot for guests after tearing it up on the dance floor!

I already wish I could relive the whole day and get married there again! We would absolutely recommend Temple's Sugar Bush!

This is a really nice place for a wedding and a reception. Nice trails for walks. This place also collects Maple sap. You can enter the building that holds a massive evaporator for boiling down the sap. Really nice people here and although I've not seen it yet. I'm told that fall trail walks and weddings are a favorite due to the changing colors on all the Maple trees.

From our initial viewing of the venue with Sherry, right up until our wedding day, everybody at Temple's was great to work with. They've thought of everything when it comes to weddings, and they're very helpful with any questions or concerns. Some examples:
- at the menu tasting they sat us with other couples near our wedding date, so if we'd wanted to share any decor or ideas it would have been easy to coordinate
- at the details meeting Amber had multiple helpful suggestions (such as helping us choose the best drink package, and what to do with the decor)
- at our rehearsal the day before Jenna went over all the big details of the ceremony, so we knew all the cues for getting down the aisle
- our ceremony was indoors because unfortunately it did rain, but Moira was driving out and looking at the storm clouds 15 minutes before the ceremony, and if it had cleared they were ready to wipe down all the wet chairs and flip everything back to outside, which I appreciated
- I also loved that they offered to donate our flowers (to a care home, I think) after the ceremony so they weren't just thrown out

The venue's also beautiful, inside and out, and the food was amazing.

Alexandra, Jenna, and the staff at Temple's truly made my wedding day magical and stress free. The attention to detail and care they showed myself, my husband, and all our guests was amazing. I would highly recommend Temples to anyone who wants a gorgeous venue and staff that truly cares about client experience. They do all the set up and take down of decorations, help you choose if you're not quite sure what you want. The whole process was made so much easier for me. Thank you!

Temple’s Sugar Bush is a stunning wedding venue with rustic charm and elegance. They have multiple locations on site that was fully accessible to us. We decided to have our ceremony in the Woodland aread, beautiful pictures in the garden and our reception indoors in the barn. It was breathtaking! From the initial planning stages to the day of the event, the staff members were attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond to meet our needs and the ones of our guests.

I booked the Garrett for our holiday work party and it was one of the best nights of the year. The staff and team made the planning so easy and I was so impressed with the level of attention to detail. It was incredibly easy and fun to work with their team and I would recommend them to anyone who asks for a great venue. Almost one year later and our team is still raving about what a perfect night that was. Couldn't recommend them enough!

I am a wedding photographer in the city, and I can’t believe I’ve never shot here. I just toured this space, and wow is it beautiful. The grand piano, the brick wall, just all of it is gorgeous and perfect for a small wedding. Jenna is super friendly and easy to work with. You need to consider having your wedding here

We recently hosted an event at the Garret and had an amazing experience. The space is gorgeous and really gives that cool downtown loft vibe. We can't wait for our next event at The Garret and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an intimate downtown venue.

The venue is so amazing for any type of event it is welcoming, cozy, and just an all around great place. What makes the Garret even more amazing is working with Heather she is prompt with her responses, ensures a smooth night for your event, and reminds you of the small details you might forget! I needed a last minute bartender not only did she find one but he was the most friendly, outgoing bartender I have ever dealt with! If you are looking for a venue to have an effortless night this is the place

We used The Garret for both the girls getting ready before our ceremony and our cocktail hour while the team flipped The Pioneer for our reception. The space is beautiful and unique with amazing views and exposed brick walls. It made for amazing getting ready photos as well as comfortable for lounging before the ceremony. Our cocktail hour was amazing in this space. Logistically it was perfect that it is right next door to The Pioneer so our guests didn't have to go far between the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. It also has an open kitchen which allowed our guests to watch the chef create our delicious snacks.

I had my wedding here and had a wonderful experience! Our wedding guests raved about what a cool venue we found. The space has a cool history that shows through its brick walls and chandeliers. We liked that it is centrally located in trendy Inglewood and still offers complimentary parking to guests. The Commons staff are true professionals, providing helpful advice for people like me who are not used to planning large-scale events. Shout out specifically to Caterine, Karla, and Nathan for making our day so memorable! The staff are true professionals who are great at what they do.

I've attended multiple functions in this room over the years and it's always clean, accommodating and well organized. The space is flexible and accessible for everyone.

Cool rustic vibes, was beautiful for our work event.

I went to a wedding here on the weekend and it was lovely, space is nice clean, fun place to party!

Great ambiance foe everything from a wedding to a business launch.

I had so much fear about our big day, and organizing such a large event. The staff and their experience and knowledge really came through. Everything about my day felt effortless, they made sure every detail was perfect, they worked with all the vendors and my family to take stress off my plate so I could have the most unforgettable experience. The venue was immaculate, our photos will be unforgettable and so beautiful, I usually hate being photographed but when you are surrounded by such beauty you feel your best. The rooms were stunning, clean, prepped and the beds were very comfortable.
We had an amazing experience, I’m forever grateful for every employee (and there were many ) that came together for a common goal to shower my family, husband, and I with so much support. I can not say enough, they know what they are doing, if you have the opportunity to book here you will have zero regrets, everything was perfect.

An absolute dream come true ♥️ We had our wedding at The Norland Historic Estate in June and it was the best 2 days of our lives. A major shout out to Jeli our coordinator, you made our day flow flawlessly and hosted us to The Norland as if it was your own. We will never forget your graciousness, kindness, organizational skills and sweet personality!! Grace helped coordinate everything prior the wedding and was prompt with all responses and extremely attentive to detail!! Although we were planning a wedding from Calgary I felt completely understood, supported and trusting of The Norland team the entire time. Our day was whimsical and just as we dreamed. Thank you!!!

If you are considering The Norland I promise you will not regret your decision!!

We got married at this beautiful venue just a few days ago. We have nothing but incredible things to say and truly felt that the Norland made all of our dreams come true.

I specifically want to shout out our venue host- Jeli! She was so kind and caring always around, but never in the way. She made us feel like $1 million on our special day and fulfilled every request. We are so lucky she got scheduled to work our wedding!

My family and friends have not stopped talking about the amazing service she provided.. 10000/10 she is a one of a kind person and hard worker and we are so thankful to have met her.

Feeling so lucky to have gotten married here! The most beautiful venue in Alberta by far! The staff is so helpful, organized and truly made our day the best day of our lives. The Norland is Lethbridge’s hidden gem, all of our guests travelled from out of town and raved about how incredible it is!

We got married there on May 29th 2025 and it was beyond perfect. Once we got there Jelica was so helpful and went above and beyond for us! The venue is gorgeous and the food was amazing. The catering staff and bartender were also great!

Pop-Up Chapel offered a memorable experience for my partner and I. We wanted to have an intimate wedding ceremony without stress or excessive spending, so booking our engagement photo shoot and wedding through Pop-Up Chapel was the perfect decision! The booking process was smooth, everyone on the team was friendly and helpful, and the ceremony was so beautiful. I highly recommend the Standard Package for any couples looking to have a small, but meaningful wedding ceremony in a unique way.

I could not have asked for a better way to celebrate our special day. The team from Pop-Up Chapel worked wholeheartedly to create a one-of-a-kind, hassle-free, and truly memorable experience. To our surprise, the décor on the day perfectly matched our wedding outfits—it felt like it was meant to be. They were also thoughtful in accommodating our minor suggestions during the wedding, which made us feel so cared for. Thank you, Pop-Up Chapel team, for making our day unforgettable!

We’re both based abroad and couldn’t plan a traditional wedding, so Pop-Up Chapel was honestly the perfect option for us. The whole process was incredibly smooth and stress free. We had one point of contact who handled everything, which made such a difference. All we had to do was show up with our outfits, rings, marriage licence, and our guests. That’s it. Everything else was beautifully taken care of. It was small, simple, and exactly what we needed. On top of that, it was very affordable for everything that was included. We had the best time and are so glad we chose Pop-Up Chapel. My sister also had her wedding with them, so we’ve seen firsthand how consistently great they are. Really highly recommend to anyone looking for an easy, meaningful, and well organized celebration.

The experience was seamless! Everyone we spoke to throughout the process was super accommodating and kind! We really wanted to go with a stress-free ceremony option and this was not only affordable, but everything is sorted for you! All we had to do was show up and not worry about any of the small details. My husband and I fell in love with the venue (Globe and Mail Centre) and without Pop-up chapel there would have been no way for us to have our ceremony there. We did end up having a dinner and a reception later in the day after our ceremony, so this was still an amazing option even if you are planning a big celebration after the ceremony.

My husband and I are so happy with our experience with the Pop-Up Chapel Co. They were incredibly easy to work with and made the entire experience a breeze - once we provided a few of our preferences we truly just had to show up. All of the vendors that supported on the day-of were amazing, too!

We would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a low-stress way to celebrate their wedding.

Dario, was fantastic. The place was great for the large event event of 34 people. Karaoke was huge hit. TV in two rooms were used for bday slide shows. Bluetooth speakers are great quality and there are two. Pool, ping pong, racing sim, Pac-Man, just great. Lots of fun and tons of room. Thank you to the staff. Great work.

I recently held a seminar event at The Spot and had a fantastic experience. The venue is very nice, exuding a professional and clean atmosphere that immediately made me feel comfortable. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the event, ensuring everything ran smoothly. I was impressed by the attention to detail and the overall organization of the seminar.

I highly recommend The Spot for any event or seminar you may be planning. It truly exceeded my expectations and I look forward to attending future events at this exceptional venue. Thank you to the team at The Spot for a wonderful experience!

We threw a party there for my husband’s birthday and had a great time! It was like having a bar to ourselves where we could shoot pool, play fuseball, shoot some hoops (my favorite) & have our own dance party. Everyone had such a great time and thought it was a great idea! Best part, no after party clean up like we would have had to do if we hosted at our house.

In a super random location, there is not much parking and it’s in the upstairs of the sex and weed shop next door.

Went there for a party rental and the games are a nice touch but the inside is super dated and very hot in the summer. They have AC but it’s not very strong on a hot day with a lot of people inside. There is a full kitchen and a room with pool tables but everything inside is a bit run down. If your doing a low key kids party or teenager party it might be a good option. Anything for adults I wouldn’t recommend.

Attended my neices birthday party here. The place was very spacious and clean. Lots of games and entertainment for birthday parties and game nights. Highly recommend for anyone looking to do their kids birthday or want a spot for poker night or pool and ping pong. Thank you so much to the owner and staff who made this possible.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Toronto Wedding Chapel! From start to finish, their service was exceptional. The team was incredibly supportive, attentive, and made sure every detail was perfect. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day special and stress-free.

Everything—from the decor to the ceremony arrangement—was handled with such care and professionalism. The atmosphere was beautiful, intimate, and exactly what we envisioned. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to make our big day so memorable.

Thank you to everyone at Toronto Wedding Chapel for making our wedding so perfect and unforgettable!

From the first time meeting Katherine, I felt very comfortable with her and calm regards to planning my wedding. As someone who gets overwhelmed easily, she made sure I was satisfied and happy with the planning and the chapel itself. She always followed up with me and my husband to see if everything’s okay prior to our wedding date, if we had any questions or concerns she was able to assist us.

Our wedding was amazing, from the ceremony, the decorations at the chapel, food, staff and reception. Till this day my wedding guests are saying wow it was such a lovely wedding, they loved how Katherine was welcoming towards everyone and she made sure everything was okay. The wedding photos and video looked amazing as well.

It was a pleasure having our wedding at the Toronto Wedding Chapel, for sure if I have any other special events I’ll definitely go back again! Thank you again Katherine you and your team are amazing!

From what I have heard and experienced from other weddings, I cannot believe that in my wedding at the Toronto Wedding Chapel I did not have to worry absolutely nothing, about anything!! I was in shock because usually the bride is stress (I am perfectionist), but no, it was only happiness. The event was so beautiful, the staff, the pictures, the food, the Champagne, the place, EVERYTHING was so perfect (I want to get married again with my husband haha). We had a wonderful time!! And the pictures, OMG SO beautiful!! Thanks so much to all the staff because I know they were the ones stressed and worried but you guys did an awesome and incredible job. Thanks so much for making my day so unique and perfect. All my friends and family said the same. THANK YOU!! ☺️

We want to extend our deepest thanks to Katherine and her incredible team at the Toronto Wedding Chapel for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, warm, and filled with joy — not just for us, but for all our guests as well.

Katherine and her staff were exceptional — kind, professional, and genuinely caring. The attention to detail and the warmth they exuded made everyone feel welcome and completely at ease.

The venue was beautifully decorated, creating the perfect setting for our celebration. The food and drinks were not only delicious but also beautifully presented.

We are so grateful for the efforts of every person involved — Katherine, Ana, our officiant, photographer, videographer, vendors, and all the staff — for coming together to make our wedding so special and memorable.

We wholeheartedly recommend the Toronto Wedding Chapel to anyone planning a celebration — you’ll be in the best hands!

Katherine and her team did a phenomenal job in making our wedding perfect. We couldn't be happier. We felt so taken care of. Thank you for making our day so magical.

We are so grateful for everything Bellamy Loft did to make our wedding day so seamless and beautiful. From the start, the team was organized and responsive, which gave us so much peace of mind during planning.

The setup and décor were everything we dreamed of. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous everything looked, and my bouquet was honestly one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.

I couldn’t have chosen a better venue to begin this new chapter with my husband. I highly recommend Bellamy Loft!

We are so grateful to have celebrated our wedding ceremony at Bellamy. Thank you to your incredible team for making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. From the planning stages to the big day itself, everything exceeded our expectations - and we couldn’t be more appreciative.

We just got married at Bellamy Loft, it was such a wonderful experience. They were flexible to accommodate my wishes with how I imagined the ceremony going and really helped to guide us through the prep going into wedding day and on the day of. It made a hectic day so much more organized. And our officiant Rob was a gem, I'm so happy he was our officiant. It was a wonderful and organized team of staff, in a beautiful, close-knit environment. Thank you so much and I definitely recommend this venue!

Bellamy Loft gave my husband and I a wedding better than either of us could have ever imagined. Not living in Toronto, I was uncertain how we would ever find vendors and a venue for our dream wedding. Bellamy Loft took all the worry away.
The venue; small but absolutely beautiful. As a few guests said to us, "don't let the outside fool you!"
The workers and coordinators, all wonderful, from Bianca always responding in a timely manner to any and all questions by email, to Novia and Lydia helping with planning and the final set up. Everyone was a pleasure to work with.
Their partner vendors are also all terrific! They selected them all for us, and while we were nervous a little, after the night we had, we would not change a thing! The photographer was lovely and we are excited to see all of the beautiful shots! The photobooth is a must! We have still been receiving raving reviews about the food and how lovely of a bartender Matthew was. And no one can stop talking about Chris, the DJ and how he brought the party and the party never stopped!

Bellamy Loft took care of everything at an extremely reasonable price. Our officiant was attentive and charismatic. Our photographer had attention to detail. The venue was perfect. The focus was on us as a couple and we didn't have to stress about a thing! Would highly recommend to couples looking for an intimate ceremony. Thank you for everything.

Great spot for a quick and affordable meal. The service was friendly and the portions were generous. I tried multiple dishes and it was flavorful and awesome. Clean seating area and fast turnaround. Would return.

While walking by, I saw musicians rehearsing for a wedding—it looked like they were getting everything ready. Having a wedding at such a beautiful pier? So dreamy!

VERY HAPPY that I chose Belvedere as my wedding venue.

It’s PRETTY, the view is amazing, it’s not so complicated, you get to choose spaces for your wedding; I did outdoor ceremony and indoor reception, price is reasonable and they don’t have much complicated regulations. They also have vendors that they can help with, like my catering was based on their list of recommendations. They also gave us a cute little gift for our wedding, and we really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Weather sucked but that's not under their control! Great venue with a nice view of the city.

A trendy event venue featuring nice views of Old Montreal, the Old Port and the St Laurent river. The evening offers a nice view of the Cité Mémoire Projections of Montreal’s History when facing west from the venue.

We were there for a party of a friend.
It was a quit place right in the middle of the downtown. Easy access with public transportation. Good place for not family parties.
I didn't like the place for a family party because of five reason:
1 the air-conditioning wasn't work properly and for hot days it wasn't a good place
2 the sound system was not really for party. It was like a very simple home sound system. The sound hasn't good quality.
3 the entrance was not appropriate for wheelchair or stroller. There were a few steps to enter the salon.
4 like number 3 the washroom was on the basement and for guest with limited ability is hard to access.
5 the kitchen was too small for arranging lunch, dinner,... For 20,30 guests

I should mention that finding parking is really hard in Friday, Sunday nights.

Nice place in downtown Montreal, with a couple of caveats.

I recently organized an evet at Caucus and overall, I was happy with the experience. However there are a couple of things that can be improved.

First the good things:
Shawn was a great communicator and was quite prompt in answering emails. The location is quite nice and even though finding parking spots on the street in not easy, there are quite a few indoor parking spaces close by at reasonable cost.

There is a nice bar at the corner of the room, which proved to be quite popular for our event :-) and there are enough chairs to seat around 20 people. This was enough for our group since our guests were mostly young and many were standing around chatting.

There are two washrooms downstairs (you would need to take 7-8 stairs to go down), and again that was quite ok for our guests, but if you have older guests or guests with limited mobility, this needs to be taken into account.

The kitchen was ok for our event since we didn't plan to server hot/warm food, but if you do, keep in mind there are no stoves or microwave ovens.

Now the things that can be improved:

There is an air conditioner, but it's certainly not strong enough for a hot summer evening (like the one we had) when there are around 30 people or more in the room. Shawn offered me to take a tour of the room a week before, which I did, and the room seemed comfortably cool, but it was impossible to imaging how it would feel once the room is full of people and if the weather outside is hot. So on the day of the event, unfortunately, almost all of our gusts felt uncomfortably hot. Such a nice place could've been much better equipped for Montreal summers.

Finally, the pricing policy could be made more flexible, esp. for private events, when the host might not know exactly how long the event could last. The current policy says $200/hour or $1500/day, but if you reserve for say 6 hours and end up using the place for 9 hours, you will end up paying (6*200) plus an additional (3*200) for a total of $1800 which is more than a full day. This doesn't make much sense.

Overall, I'd recommend this place for corporate or private parties of up to 40 people max, and when the weather is cool outside. Also, if you're not sure how long your party could last (including the time it takes to clean up), you're better off paying the $1500/day.

On behalf of my team and I, we were very happy with Caucus and we recommend this place to all of our partners, coworkers and family members. This is a very beautiful place, fully equipped, easy to access as it is situated in Downtown Montreal. Shawn, the venue contact, will answer all your questions very fast and will give you easy instructions and reminders about the place. Everyone had a great time! Thank you Caucus!

Amazing experience! Very nice space that is perfect to throw a social or corporate event. The concept is very convenient too, sort of like Airbnb, where you can easily rent the space and have access to it without having to meet with anyone.

Amazing experience! Was able to celebrate my wedding day with family the way we wanted! Attentive owner. Was there for our every need. We thank you very much!!! Beautiful place. Our day was unforgettable!

My wife and I got married at the Cumberland Belle in May this year (2025). We knew it was going to be our venue as soon as we met Manal for the tour last year. The outdoor area was perfect for the small, nature-surrounded wedding we wanted. And the inside of the old church was beautiful and just the right amount of space. Overall, it was exactly the right place to host our most special day.

The venue was absolutely beautiful and had such a great vibe. The staff were super helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly. They really took care of us and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. Would definitely recommend!

Exactly what we were looking for! The venue is gorgeous and was perfect for our wedding of ~70 people. We wanted somewhere we could take advantage of the beautiful fall foliage and also where we could bring our own catering, bar, etc. As soon as we saw the Belle we knew it was perfect! Even though it rained and we didn’t end up using the outdoor ceremony space, we couldn’t be happier with how the day went. Manal and Michael were super easy to deal with during the planning and set up process. Highly recommend!

If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would! This was an outstanding venue for my friend’s bridal shower. it has beautiful lighting and was perfectly spacious for the amount of guests that were hosted. Definitely a place I would recommend for intimate gatherings and celebrations!

I am beyond happy with the Cumberland Belle. Gorgeous venue with stain glass windows. The owners were more than happy to answer any of my questions which make booking as smooth as possible.
When I booked, the venue included chairs, tables, audio equipment, outdoor seating, and a wooden arch for an outdoor ceremony.

The venue had a separate entrance for the catering crew as well as a kitchen with a fridge which can in handy for storing the reception snacks and keeping drinks chilled.

Lastly, being able to ring the church bell after getting married was the highly of our wedding!

I had gone for my Senior Prom and it was such a lovely venue the staff were so incredibly accommodating and kind, I had such a lovely time and I'm so happy that this was the venue for my last celebration in High-school! The speakers were great and the decor and photography opportunities were absolutely grandiose! I cannot express how kind and patient the staff were and I'm so utterly greatful for their kindness. Such a lovely venue made the night that much more special! I also really really appreciated the option of gender neutral bathrooms and the cleanliness of said bathrooms. Overall the whole experience was excellent!

What can I say about this place?

Well... A great beautiful place to have memorable moments, the staff, each one of them just flawless customer service, the food? Just extremely delicious!!! The servers, classy, professionals and friendly.

Thank you very much.

I hope to visit this place again, soon!!!

We hosted a Sufi Night at Empire Banquet Hall, and the experience was outstanding. Manjeet and Gurinder went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Even though I hired a sound engineer, they helped me maneuver through all the necessary vendors—personally contacting them and helping to arrange the services I needed. Their support with the sound system, decorations, and overall setup made a complex event feel effortless.

The food was unbelievable, and everyone was amazed not only by the facility but also by the warmth of the service and the exceptional quality of the food. Empire Banquet Hall truly delivered in every way, and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a special event.

🌸 A heartfelt thanks to the proud TEAM of Empire Estate and Empire Hall. 🙏

I hosted the greatest Nowruz Gala in Calgary at Empire Banquet Hall, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The venue itself is elegant, spacious, and beautifully maintained—perfect for a large celebration like ours. The management team was incredibly accommodating and professional, making sure every detail was taken care of.

The staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient throughout the entire event.

Special thanks to the Empire team for helping us make this event memorable. We’ve received amazing feedback from attendees, and we look forward to hosting future events here. Highly recommend for weddings, cultural events, and large gatherings!

I will never get over how beautiful our wedding turned out! We had a huge storm coming around the time of the ceremony and Janice and staff were so helpful in helping us beat it so we could have the ceremony outside. The food and drinks were the best I had ever had at a wedding (I've been dreaming of the mushroom bisque) and we had gotten so many compliments on it throughout the night. Staff was so accommodating and incredible in navigating our huge families and communication through the planning process was spectacular! We would have our wedding here again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Janice and Team! (Photo cred to Palm Tree Studio, they were AMAZING!)

We had our wedding at Evermore Weddings & Events, and it was truly perfect from start to finish. The venue is absolutely breathtaking, inside and out. The gardens and outdoor spaces are meticulously maintained and were in full bloom on our day, creating the most romantic and natural backdrop for our ceremony and photos. The flowers, the stone pathways, and views all felt like something out of a dream.

The food was incredible. It was fresh, beautifully prepared, and served flawlessly. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it! And the service was exceptional: attentive, professional, and kind.

A heartfelt thank you to Janice, Tracy, and the entire Evermore team. They were outstanding- organized, supportive, and genuinely wonderful to work with. From the early planning stages to the final moments of the night, everything flowed smoothly thanks to their attention to detail and calm, capable presence.
We couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful setting or a better team to help us celebrate.

Cannot express how happy we were with nearly everything at Evermore... we had the BEST DAY! Deb was amazing to work with throughout the planning process, the serving staff were incredible. This rustic, elegant space on the most stunning grounds was everything we had dreamed of for our wedding. The food was BEYOND incredible... all of our guests were telling us this was the 'best wedding food they'd ever had'. We were SO full and SO satisfied! Delicious.
Even the few things that didn't go 'perfectly' or the little bumps that arose, were professionally and respectfully. We are beyond grateful and will cherish the memories we created at Evermore, for a lifetime. 10/10... cannot recommend enough.

Our wedding venue was absolutely stunning, such a beautiful space that made the day feel truly magical. The food was incredible, and all of our guests were raving about it!

A special shoutout to Tracy, the venue coordinator, who was simply the best. She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and her calm, organized approach made the whole experience stress-free. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a beautiful setting and amazing support!

Dream venue! From the moment we first toured Evermore, we knew it was something special — but nothing could have prepared us for just how truly magical it would feel on our wedding day. Every detail was beyond what we imagined, and that’s thanks in large part to the incredible team behind the scenes.

Working with Janice and Tracy was a joy. From our very first conversation to the final moments of the night, they were professional, thoughtful, organized, and deeply committed to making our vision come to life. They listened so carefully, offered expert guidance along the way, and somehow made the entire planning process feel effortless.

On the day itself, the staff at Evermore (bartenders, kitchen, servers, night manager Tarek) went above and beyond in every way. Professional and timely service and their attention to detail was unmatched. We felt truly taken care of — as did our guests, who are still raving about the stunning setting and impeccable food!

This venue wasn’t just beautiful — it was a reflection of everything we hoped for: elegant, romantic, and unforgettable. We will forever be grateful to Janice, Tracy, and the entire team for turning our dream day into a reality.

Best wedding venue in the Calgary/Airdrie area!!

I have always had my heart set on getting married here ever since my friend chose this venue for her wedding in 2019. I was a bridesmaid in that wedding and after that night, I knew Gathered would be at the top of my list when it was my turn to get married.

My sister also got married here a year before I did, which proves how special and sought after this venue is.

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to Alysa, Elaine, Ashley and her team. It went exactly how we envisioned it and our guests had such an amazing time. They raved about the food, the beauty of the venue, and the friendly hard-working staff.

Gathered offers an “all inclusive” type package of sorts which includes elements that take the pressure and stress off the bride and groom with wedding planning. This venue works well with all sorts of themes and aesthetics. The natural beauty of the space offers such a beautiful backdrop for your ceremony and reception.

It’s a bonus that this venue is close by to Airdrie and North Calgary. There’s several hotels to choose from in Airdrie to host your guests, and there’s also a campground nearby.

The food is absolutely amazing. Elaine puts so much care and love into what she serves you and your guests. Everything we had at our wedding was outstanding.

I cannot recommend this venue enough. The Gathered and Fiore team are great to work with and they make sure everything is taken care of on your big day. You won’t regret booking them!

I would give this venue 100 stars if I could. I got married here in September and every time I see a guest of our wedding they cannot stop gushing about the beautiful venue, the exquisite food, and the warm, wonderful service. Alysa and Elaine are true gems, you feel like part of the family and you can definitely feel the love in the food. What they've created here is pure magic, thank you for sharing your home with us, we loved everything about it.

We got married at the Gathered in September 2023 and I simply cannot say enough good things about this place. First and most obvious, the entire property is absolutely beautiful. When we first toured the space, my husband and I both fell in love with it immediately. It truly took my breath away. It's incredibly peaceful, welcoming, and radiates with love. The perfect vibes you want for your wedding. From the farm fields and flower gardens, to the sunflowers and tall trees, and of course the stunning and romantic reception tent and bridal cottage, the Gathered is a wedding venue like no other. Secondly, the team behind the Gathered is an absolute dream. As a family-run business, you can feel the heart and passion behind what they do. It's not about making money for them, they're truly passionate about making your wedding dreams come true. I don't even know where to start with Alysa and Elaine. From start to finish, they were an absolute dream team to work with. Always on top of things, with regular emails, information packets, and check-in meetings. Alysa is incredibly organized, efficient, professional, and knowledgable. Answering my endless type A emails (sometimes multiple a day), ensuring everything is in place so wedding day goes off without a hitch. And Elaine's food. OH MY GOD. To die for. That is the #1 comment we got on our wedding: that it was the best wedding food our guests had ever had. You can taste the passion in her cooking. I could go on forever, because getting married at the Gathered and working with Alysa and Elaine was an unforgettable experience that I will cherish forever. If you're looking for an outdoor wedding venue, I cannot recommend the Gathered enough. You will not be disappointed. In fact, it will exceed your expectations ten fold!

We can't thank Alysa, Elaine, and the entire team at The Gathered enough for our experience. From the beginning, we felt super comfortable and confident that we were in good hands. Throughout the process, our expectations were exceeded through their genuine care and authenticity as people and as a business. We felt apart of the family and our big day was everything (and more) we could've ever imagined. We were extremely well taken care of and our guests also felt the same. A huuuge part of our decision to go with (and return for their hosted events) The Gathered is their immaculate food. Our family and friends still rave about how amazing everything tasted! Elaine is a master chef, nothing she makes is bad or even close to it; her food isn't just good, it's AMAZING!!! Thank you sososo much for being apart of our big day!

What a great place for a wedding venue. My son and now daughter-in-law were in great hands. Elaine, Ashly and the entire staff was friendly, professional and always helpful. We had an amazing wedding event. The food was delicious and everything well organized. I highly recommend The Gathered for the next lovely couple planning to get married.

Fun beautiful place for a wedding, the lighting can be quite low at all times of day so I would highly recommend looking into photographers with off camera flash experience. The whole park is beautiful and lovely for weddings!

Located at the back corner of the park, Gunn's Dairy Barn has a delicious assortment of food. Beef or Chicken burger, hotdogs all nice. Go on a rainy day and it'll be pretty empty. Only complaint was pretzel bun on burger was a tad cold. Definitely coming back.

A very solid venue that's quite flexible with special requests for events. Not much space though and style is country only.

Staff were enthusiastic and very helpful. The brunch was good and fresh food was rotated in quite often.

The food was amazing - the buffet was filling, we didn't eat anything until the next day.

A Backyard Wedding Dream Come True!

Jan, we couldn’t have imagined a more magical place to celebrate our wedding than your place. From the moment we arrived to first met you, it felt like stepping into a secret garden; a lush, vibrant, and overflowing with the most incredible flowers / scenary that added color, fragrance, and charm to every corner.

What made this location truly special was its warmth and intimacy. It wasn’t just a venue, it was a place that felt like home that you made feel that way Jan.

Our guests were absolutely enchanted, and we are beyond grateful to begin our journey together in such a stunning and meaningful setting.

We cannot thank you enough Jan!

I couldn’t have asked for a nicer venue to host my intimate wedding then at Jan’s Garden. It was a beautiful place, with tons of gorgeous flowers and greenery. Jan was friendly , accommodating to our requests and made things simple.
The venue does offer a photograph and an officiator which makes things easy. We didn’t use the photograph (we already one) however we did use the Officiator who was lovely.

I recently had the opportunity to photograph a wedding at Jan’s Garden and it was a great experience from start to finish. The garden is stunning and it’s clear how much time and love has gone into it. As a photographer, it was a fun space to work in with different levels and plenty of space to move around without disturbing guests. Jan is also wonderful! She’s very kind and made sure everyone was taken care of — it was cool and a little rainy the day of the wedding, and she even brought a blanket out for the flower girl. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an intimate wedding ceremony venue.

Jan's Garden was a magical place for us to have our small, intimate wedding of 18 people. Her garden is stunning and we had perfect weather on Sept 1st. Jan is an amazing hostess and went out of her way to accommodate our needs for the wedding.

We felt blessed to be surrounded by such beauty on our special day and all our guests loved the gardens! Our officiant Soleiha's wonderful storytelling/ceremony was perfect to celebrate our love and Ryan captured those special moments so creatively. We are forever gratefully to all of them.

I would highly recommend Jan's Garden for small intimate weddings and gatherings. Thank you for everything Jan & Bruce!

Jan is the most kind and sweetest lady! She was so helpful through the whole process when booking, keeping me in the loop when ever something important happens and always being patient when explaining. The garden is beautiful, she keeps it in the best quality it can be in every time I see it. It was truly a dream come true having my wedding at this lovely venue. Thank you Jan for everything, you were amazing and I can't say enough of how much I appreciate you!

I only gave a 5 star as that was the only option, Sandy and the entire staff deserve sooooo much more. I can’t express or thank them so much to have made our special day an absolutely perfect day. The manoire itself is so beautiful, the grounds are magnificent and loved that some of our guests could stay the night which came with a delicious breakfast. Now let’s talk about the food, which was AMAZING!!!!!! Every single one of my guests blown away, hats off to the chef. I could not have gotten through This beautiful day without Sandy and her team, thank you for making our special day even more special than we imagined! We definitely would have given you 10 stars out of 10 if that were an option ❤️

The day we walked in, my fiance was so touched by the venue’s warmth and energy. We instantly new this was the place for us. Sandy and her crew went above and beyond to make our day special. Felt like she was our fairy god-mother making our dreams come true.

We could not have picked a better place to get married than Manoir de la Foret. After all the years of planning (due to the pandemic, we waited an extra two years) Sandy and her team were wonderful and it turned out better than we could have ever imagined. Everything went so smoothly and because of that, we were able to be fully present and enjoy the day. We also chose to spend the night there, which aloud us to spend even more time with our loved ones. Thank you for being making our day so special. We're so happy we found this place and would recommend it to anyone who's considering it for their event.

Amazing place for a smaller wedding! The outdoor ceremony space is so beautiful and is mostly shaded in the afternoon to keep guests comfortable. The indoor space is so cozy and very bright for the reception, and the food is absolutely amazing!
Sandy and her team were very patient, met with us quite a few times, and took the time to answer all of our questions to make our day special.

My husband and I got married at Manoir de la Foret in August 2023. It was a perfect day and that is owed in very large part to this venue and the owner, Sandy, who was an amazing support throughout the planning process and on the day of our wedding. Sandy and her staff are very knowledgeable, kind and organized, and made sure everything ran smoothly before, during and after the wedding. They were very accommodating of our special requests, were so hands-on and allowed everyone else to be present and enjoy the day. The venue itself is beautiful, intimate and surrounded by nature. We had about 50 guests, although the space could have very comfortably fit more. We were also able to stay overnight at the venue afterward with our families, which was such a bonus. We feel incredibly lucky do have gotten married here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to any couple.
