L'Espace Canal was the perfect venue for our wedding. The space is absolutely beautiful, with so much natural charm & character, & it created the exact atmosphere we were dreaming of. The team was professional, responsive, & incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, & our guests could not stop complimenting the venue. We couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate our day. Wholeheartedly recommended!

I just had my wedding at L'Espace Canal last weekend, & what an incredible experience! From planning the event with the venue coordinator, Alexa, to the flexibility with menu creation with chef Stuart, the communication & coordination was so professional & seamless. We also had an amazing day of experience because of Jaime, Tony, Jonathan, & Rohit. We are filled with gratitude that the whole team made our wedding so memorable & perfect!!!! We got so many compliments from our guests on the food, drinks, & service.

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'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.

Dear Alexa, Amber, & the entire L'Ambroisie team, We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks for making our wedding day so special. From the moment we started working with you, everyone-from the servers to the bartender, the DJ & of course Stuart, Alexa & Amber-everyone we interacted with was incredibly professional, warm, & accommodating to all our requests. We delivered the decor & the L'Ambroisie team set up everything as we asked. The hall was simply stunning, & we received so many compliments from our guests, who absolutely RAVED about the delicious food!! The entire experience was truly "clé en main," & enabled us to enjoy our day without any stress, knowing that everything was being handled so seamlessly by your amazing team. We also deeply appreciated your recommendations for the ALT Hotel on Peel & Studio Caroline Theoret for hair & makeup-they were perfect choices & contributed to making our special day flawless. Thank you again for your wonderful service & care. It was a day we will cherish forever, & we are grateful to L'Ambroisie for helping make it all happen! Sandra & James

We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at L'Espace Canal, & we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment we started planning, our coordinator Dietrich took care of every detail with such professionalism & care. The venue itself is stunning, with its charming ambiance & beautiful views of the canal providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish, the food & service was exceptional. Overall, L'Ambroisie & L'Espace Canal exceeded all our expectations, & we are so grateful to Dietrich & the entire team for making our wedding day so memorable. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a perfect place to tie the knot.

Nice vibes. The staff was helpful & professional. Went for a work event, & it would have been really nice if the bar had actual non-alcoholic cocktails. The bartenders did their best, but it's not the same as what is increasingly available elsewhere. As well, I got the vegan option, but not enough information was communicated to make me particularly comfortable eating there. This restaurant considers the "vegan option" to be whatever the vegetarian option is, but without the cheese. For example, a grilled vegetable "shelf" that typically comes with feta, was served to the vegans without the feta. It was unclear if the creamed soup was suitable for vegans, same with the wine, & the music was so loud it was not a conversation I wanted to have with the waiter. The wild mushroom risotto was good, but something I could have whipped up at home in 30 minutes. All in all, the points are for the staff.

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!
