Globalement pour les quatre personnes présentes, le repas était très bien. L'assiette de magret était parfaite, surtout avec les camerises. Le pavé de saumon était par contre trop cuit & la tarte frangipane aux bleuets assez quelconque.
My husband & I eloped in Vancouver in October 2020 after postponing then cancelling our Mtl wedding. Nearly three years later, on October 8, 2023, we had an intimate wedding reception at La Maison Verte. It was a dream!
The venue itself is already very cozy & charming. I was able to bring in some decor (table runners, bud vases, candles, etc.) the night prior & our florist came the day of the event to finish off the tables.
The food was impeccable. The soup, the salad, main courses, desserts! Our guests only had great things to say! They timed the courses in a way that when we'd be done eating, we'd be able to open up the dancefloor, making sure that other patrons were gone so as not to disturb them.
The staff was so nice & proactive! My cousin came with her 3 month old baby & was so grateful for all the help she received! From fixing my dress before I walk down the aisle (upstairs terrasse), to bringing my husband & I some champagne & canapés while we retreated from our guests after the ceremony, to bringing our cake in & out of the kitchen for pictures, etc. The staff were true gems!
Lastly, it was a pleasure working with Eric, the manager. We had a couple of requests that we communicated very last minute & he was very flexible with us even though we would've completely understood if he didn't want to.
If you are looking to host an intimate wedding in the city (we were 67) in a setting other than your typical reception hall, where food is mid, music from 4-5 other weddings is blasting into your event, & prices are ridiculously expensive, La Maison Verte should be on your top list.
More pros: enough parking for all your guests, lovely park at walking distance for photos during cocktail hour if you choose to take some (unfortunately it was raining during golden hour so we didn't go), drinks are excellent (we opted for an open bar & added it to our tab).
