We just had our wedding here, what a phenomenal venue. Excellent support from Alex & Clea during the planning process & day of coordination. The food was excellent, all of our guests raved about the meals & canapes. It's a stunning location right on the Lachine canal, we had our cocktails outside & so many of our guests were taking photos as the location is very picturesque. We took the string lights, they added such a nice touch. Highly recommend

An easy choice for our wedding venue! We knew it was the spot, after seeing the venue, knowing what they could offer (many accommodation made) & having Alexandra Goguen-Vallee walk us through the process was the icing on the cake. She made everything feel so smooth, seamless, & made us have full confidence in the venue. The food was very tasty, drinks as well. No complaints from our guests! Would highly recommend.
Yesterday I hosted a client lunch & learn at this wonderful beautiful venue. Clea who helped coordinate everything made it a seamless process. My guests were very impressed with the food & the service was impeccable. I would definitely recommend this venue for your corporate events or any event for that matter! Thank You

She was very accommodating to our asks, super friendly, very professional, & a joy to work with. We will not stop recommending this place to anyone we know who is getting married.
Thank you for everything, it was truly an unforgettable experience!

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but our venue made the process so much easier & genuinely enjoyable! From start to finish, they were an absolute joy to work with.

We had our wedding at L'Espace Canal this past weekend & I am so glad that we chose this venue! First, L'Espace canal is absolutely beautiful. Second, our venue coordinator (Alexandra) & the L'Ambroisie/L'Espace Canal chefs & staff were fantastic throughout the entire engagement/planning process. The venue worked closely with us to customize a Southern Food buffet station to reflect my Georgia (USA) roots. They were open to suggested recipe changes, & the food turned out great - our guests were raving! Alexandra did an amazing job setting up the decorations & coordinating the arrival of other vendors. I did not have to worry about a thing on my wedding day - everything was beautiful & set up exactly to my specifications. During the wedding, the staff & bartenders were very professional & attentive to both us as bride & groom, as well as our guests. Our wedding was at L'Espace Canal was an absolute dream. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
We were married at l'ambroisie in April 2024. With about 75 dinner guests, salle l'ambroisie was the perfect size for us. Our coordinators Alexandra & Constance were great. They were helpful during the planning process & the wedding day. We gave them all our decorations with a description of how we wanted it set up, & they put everything together perfectly. We received so many compliments from the guests, they really loved the venue & the food. We had asked for some adjustments during our tasting & they were taken into account. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. The wedding package also includes the cost of a DJ. We were assigned DJ big Daddy who did a fantastic job. Our wedding day was wonderful. Also, the cost is fairly reasonable considering the location of the venue, & services included.
