Had our wedding here in September 2025. Our coordinator Alexandra made our wedding so easy to plan. We had an unconventional cultural ceremony & they were able to support this without any issue. Food turned out great, & they were able to make adjustments during the wedding when we went long on time in some places. Would recommend to anyone.

We recently had our wedding held at Espace Canal this past weekend & it was the most beautiful day. We were very lucky to have worked with Alexandra for many months leading up to the big day as she helped us a lot with any questions we had, many many emails were answered. She is a pleasure to work with & goes above & beyond the call of duty. We also thank her & Jaime for making sure that everything ran super smoothly on the day of as our coordinator. The wait staff & our Maître D (Toni) gave excellent service & people were very happy with all of the food that was served. It is a beautiful venue that is perfect for an outdoor ceremony held along the Lachine Canal with a beautiful gazebo in the garden area, making it all very magical. We could not have asked for a better wedding & highly recommend this place for a great venue location!

Could not have asked for a better wedding venue. The coordinators & staff were kind & professional from our first tour of the location to when we were closing out the reception. We were able to have a menu that was everything we ever wanted. The food was so good that we had multiple guests ask if they could take some home.

Multiple times throughout the night, the staff brought food specifically for my wife & I to make sure we were eating. They were making sure to take care of us while we were occupied on taking care of our guests.

Unfortunately, it did rain on our wedding day so we could not have the ceremony outside. Luckily our venue coordinators, Alexandra & Alice, along with our personal coordinator Steph, came together to set up the most amazing indoor ceremony that we will remember forever.

We can say in full confidence that this is THE place to get married.

We had our wedding at L' Ambroisie in May 2024. It was a dream. The location is ideal ( ceremony, cocktail hour, reception), offers overnight parking if needed. Staff is accommodating to special requests & really go out of their way to make it happen. Special Shout Out to Dietrich ( the most patient, accommodating & fun coordinator to work with), Amber ( the reception capitain) & Jonathan ( probably the best bartender in MTL) who made our day amazing. Price is well worth it & very reasonable & they offer many options. Amazing open bar, great DJ. They recommend vendors that are good to use because they know the venue inside & out. The food is SO good & there are many options to chose from. Great places to take photos as well. Overall, beautiful venue, great staff, amazing wedding !!

We had our wedding here in May 2024 & had the loveliest time. The venue was beautiful & several guests mentioned how good the food was. Service was incredible, Amber & her staff were amazing. Dietrich did a great job coordinating the ceremony & everything else. Alexa was super helpful throughout the planning even though she was on maternity leave. Alexandra was very nice & helpful when we were planning & going for our tasting. Price was very reasonable considering all the things that were included & the turnkey package allowed us to customize & include exactly what we wanted.

(English below) On a célébré notre mariage à l'Ambroisie il y a un mois & on a vraiment aimé comment notre événement s'est déroulé ainsi que tout le processus qui a précédé. Dès notre première visite on s'est sentis pris en main par la coordonatrice qui a évidemment beaucoup d'expérience. Leurs documents étaient complets & clairs; la structure (horaire, menu, choix pour le bar, cérémonie etc) faisait en sorte qu'on se sentait entre de bonnes mains, mais en même temps il y avait assez d'espace pour qu'on crée notre évènement à notre goût & notre image. Durant la soirée le personnel était très agréable & efficace, on sentait qu'ils avaient envie d'être là & qu'ils savaient ce qu'ils faisaient. Nous & nos invités avons tous beaucoup aimé le repas, des canapés au dessert. Franchement si c'était à refaire on choisirait le même endroit sans hésitations. Sans parler du prix qui était tout à fait abordable surtout en comparant avec d'autres restaurants dans le coin.. & que dire du jardin le long de l'eau pour la cérémonie! On est ravis. Merci l'Ambroisie -- We celebrated our wedding at l'Ambroisie a month ago & we really loved our event as well as the whole process of creating it. Since our first visit of the venue we felt that the coordinator had a lot of experience & we could follow her lead. Their documents are thorough & clear; the structure (schedule, menu, bar options, ceremony, etc) made us feel like we were in good hands, but at the same time there was enough space & flexibility for us to create a wedding that we felt was unique & reflected who we are. During the evening the staff was very nice & efficient, we felt that they were happy to be there & that they knew what they were doing. Our guests & us really loved the meal, from the appetizers all the way to the dessert. Honestly, if we were to do it all over again we would choose the same venue without any hesitation. The price was also very affordable, especially comparing with other restaurants in the neighbourhood. & the garden along the water for the ceremony was just so charming. We're so happy with how our wedding went. Thank you l'Ambroisie!

If you're looking for the perfect wedding venue I highly suggest L'Ambroisie restaurant. They are very accommodating, staff is super friendly, our guests loved the food. The event coordinator, Alexandra is quick to reply & will answer every & all questions you have throughout your time planning. She is amazing & was so helpful in this process. I never had to stress with anything about the venue & that's all because of how confident I felt with Alexandra.

You have 3 options where you can do your ceremony. Inside the restaurant, outside in the terrace, or outside in their beautiful garden.

Again, if you're looking for an amazing place to hold your ceremony & reception then Restaurant L'Ambroisie is the place to do it!!

When planning our wedding, my husband & I (American) were looking for a destination wedding. We chose Montreal based on its European flair, & stopped by L'Ambroisie on a whim after reading a review. On that first day, Kevin sat down with us & gave us the personalized visit we had been missing at the other venues. He answered our questions, & didn't pressure us into committing. After looking at other venues, we decided on L'Ambroisie. From there, Nathalie answered all my questions, even the crazy ones, with rapid response. There were no "packages" no uniform choices. It really was the only venue we visited that encouraged us to have a personalized wedding. On the actual wedding day, the staff was incredible. They were all complete professionals & the wedding went off better than we ever dreamed. We were both relaxed, happy, & actually enjoying our day. Everything that was promised to us from the first meeting came true & more. The food was fabulous, the DJ was fabulous & everyone had such positive feedback. The staff even navigated the event through a rain shower mid-ceremony. I really cannot say enough positive things about my wedding experience. Thank you all at L'Ambroisie!
