I simply do not know where to start my review. Our wedding surpassed our own expectations, & the team at L'Ambroisie was such a delight to work with. The day went so smoothly with no hiccups from their end. The service was out of this world. We had 70 guests, & the food came out properly & on time. The taste of the food was simply WOW. Our guests raved about the steak & the halibut risotto, & my wife absolutely loved the oysters, especially the Rockefeller oysters. Everything tasted incredible. Like they say, it takes a village to pull off a wedding, & that is very accurate.
I want to call out the following people who made our day so magical & beautiful:
Marie-France - Bar mastermind
Service Team: Rohan, Amber, Jonathan
Behind the Scenes Team: Dallas, Sebastien, Gordon (sous-chef), Stuart (Chef), John, & all the cooks & dishwashers who made the food amazing
Alexandra - Coordinator, point of contact & the person that had a key role in make our night magical from preparation, planning & navigating all our needy requests & finding a way to get them accepted by the owner.
They are such a delight to work with & so flexible & understanding. They were accommodating with many aspects of our planning, including allowing us to bring some of our own items, which we truly appreciated. I loved all our interactions from the initial conversation to the execution of the day. They worked tirelessly to make everything go smoothly, & as with every wedding, there were unplanned moments. One example that truly stood out was when our arch vendor's partner couldn't make it. Without hesitation, the L'Ambroisie team jumped in to help mount the arch outside in -35 degree weather with freezing cold hands. Their willingness to go above & beyond, even outside their usual responsibilities, meant the world to us.
I would highly recommend L'Ambroisie to anyone planning their special day. You will be in excellent hands.
THANK YOU for making our day beautiful & for all your work & effort. You are all such wonderful human beings with big hearts.
