Amazingly cute shops here. I went during a vendor event. Definitely worth a visit! Everyone here is really nice. Too bad that's what small businesses resort to for space ...
Je suis allée à un party de Noël du travail le samedi 07/12 & c'était vraiment agréable. Au menu, il y avait deux plats : du saumon ou du boeuf. La salle était chic & parfaite pour l'événement, & l'ambiance était très plaisante. Le service durant le repas était efficace & tout le personnel était souriant & accueillant. Le barman était professionnel & préparait des cocktails délicieux, même pour quelqu'un qui ne consomme pas d'alcool :). En somme, une expérience très positive !

Had enough space for a large party. My only issue was the lack of space to manage registration & coat check during the event I attended ( may have been more the event's problem than the location though)
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. Their team was not only accommodating & flexible with all our requests, but they also brought such a positive, fun energy that helped me feel much more relaxed throughout. Their support & enthusiasm made what could have been a stressful experience into something we could truly look forward to. We couldn't be happier with our choice & would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone planning a special event!
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.

Notre mariage a lieu dernièrement & c'était magnifique. L'équipe est à l'écoute & la salle de l'Espace Canal magique. Notre journée fût mémorable & à la hauteur de nos attentes. Merci Alexa & Jonathan :)
Love the onion soup, good steak & good duck. Service was on point & the atmosphere is just lovely. Update: Quaint reception hall, & beautiful space for an outdoor ceremony.
We contacted them as we are looking for a wedding venue. They were hardly available to meet with us, only during a limited period in the middle of the day. Communication was very complicated; we exchanged a few emails with Alexa, she wasn't particularly helpful, did not even get a reply to the last email. If now is so hard to communicate with them, I don't even want to imagine contacting them to plan the event, or to solve an unforeseen issue... We chose another venue for our wedding, no way I would ever attempt to plan anything there.

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

Our wedding day at L'Ambroisie & L'Espace Canal was nothing short of magical. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, but what really sets it apart is the incredible team that comes with it. The food was amazing-every dish was delicious & they are so accommodating with dietary restrictions. The bar service was top-notch, with a great selection of drinks & friendly bartenders who kept the party going. The day-of coordinator (Alexandra) was a lifesaver, handling every detail with such grace & efficiency that we were able to relax & enjoy our day to the fullest. From start to finish, L'Ambroisie & L'Espace Canal exceeded our expectations, & we couldn't be happier!
Had an absolutely wonderful wedding experience here! Our coordinator leading up to the event, Dietrich, did an excellent job answering our many questions & helping to ensure we felt confident & comfortable going into the event. During the day of the wedding we worked with Alexa, who took on all of the decorating & details of the space perfectly. The venue is gorgeous, the food delicious (almost every guest commented how on amazing the food was), & the DJ hired through the space was perfect! The venue takes care of almost everything for the wedding so we had very little to worry about in the days leading up to the event. Many thanks to Dietrich, Alexa, Amber, & all the of the staff at L'Ambroisie for making our wedding so special & memorable.

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.
