They blew me away the day of our son's wedding to Alannah
The wedding was on Saturday. Everything was ready, as discussed, when we arrive. Clean, in order, set up in & out. They delivered on every promise. Alexandra & Amber were in leadership roles. The staff was personable, polished, gracious & efficient. They looked well groomed, even fashionable in black, & interacted easily with guests, walking that fine line, warm & genuine but not overly familiar. Smiles were unwavering. The wait staff came around often, the amazing appetizers were plentiful during cocktails. Water was refilled, wine as well, we didn't need to ask. This went on throughout the meal. Nina & Vincent stood out for me. The bartender, Marie-France was a dynamo, seamlessly multi tasking & serving multiple people at once, smiling & friendly. At one point our friend spilled a full glass of wine . Everyone was dancing, nobody was sitting at the table, the table cloth was a mess, we left it & went to dance. As we walked by 5 or 10 minutes later, the tablecloth had been changed! The food was excellent & the service was incredible. After the hard stop at midnight, we expected to be there a long while, packing up tons of bud vases & flowers. But everything had been boxed up for us in the last moments of the night. We were out of there in no time, happy & impressed. Thank you for everything! You made our son, & our new daughter, very happy.
We had our wedding just over a week ago for about 85 guests & it was truly a great experience. From nearly the very start we had Clea take over the coordination of our wedding - super friendly, speedy responses to our many questions, great organization all the way, reminders for deadlines, SUPER accommodating to all of our requests. HIGHLY recommend her, we are forever grateful to her for making this as smooth as it possibly could have been.
The food & staff were excellent! No complaints from any of my guests about the food nor the wait staff! The bar man was AMAZING & so so kind!! Every time my husband or I came up to the bar he was very attentive to our needs. Truly made a difference to have a friendly & smiley face behind the bar! To the kitchen staff/waiting staff, everything came out with great timing & was truly excellent! Generous portions, great taste, perfect temperatures, smiling faces - all in all the kitchen/wait staff truly impressed us!
The DJ was also excellent, on the spot thinking for transitions between our first dance & the second father/daughter, mother/son dance (due to a day-of change of plans). Music was great! Everyone was really impressed with the song choices that made us all sing-along & dance the night away! No notes (pun intended)!
Overall the experience was great, the only down side was one staff member who I believe might have been in charge of the staff & ensuring the evening went according to plan. She was very friendly but throughout the evening came to me about'potential' issues that never came to fruition & put a damper on my evening at multiple occasions. The most frustrating one for me was right after cutting my wedding cake, she came to tell me that the TWO cakes that were to be served to my guests (serving 110 total guests) MIGHT not be enough to serve my 85 guests. This was a shock to me as I expected we would be able to offer some to the staff but none-the-less, I told her if need be we can serve the wedding cake, which did not end up happening. By the end of the evening I had TWO full cakes to bring home - my wedding cake & the smaller cake that was to be served to my guests (minimum 20 people) that had not even been opened or cut into. When she told me it was the full cake I offered that she should take some for the staff & she told me'oh no - we already had some' which I proceeded to say'Are you sure? Did you take enough? You can take more' & she replied'oh no - we've had MORE than enough'. After some reflection I really would suggest that this individual should be more conscious about bringing up potential problems to the bride &/or groom because this put an unnecessary damper on an important moment in the evening, & it was all for nothing. I understand being cautious but in these events it is important to think before acting & maybe taking a moment to reflect whether it truly is a problem & should be flagged or wait & see what would happen without having to worry the bride & groom about a problem that is not a problem. Additionally, while we were all having fun on the dance floor, she pulled me over to let me know one of my guests should'drink some water & slow down on the alcohol' I was just trying to enjoy my evening so I went to said guest (my husbands brother) & let him know (he is a father of three & was just enjoying the evening to let loose which he never can) & this caused a big commotion & finished with him & his wife leaving the wedding early. When I asked if he had done anything she told me'no, we just want to avoid getting to the point that something would happen'. I understand this, but once again it put a damper on our evening for a'potential problem' that never ended up being a problem. It is a wedding, people let loose & get drunk - if this is to be avoided maybe they should consider putting a limit on the bar or consumptions per individual but I think that might affect some bookings.
Overall, the evening was great despite the small dampers & highly recommend L'Ambroisie!
I can not recommend this venue enough for a wedding!! We were married July 2025 & we had Alexandra as our coordinator. She is AMAZING! She is incredibly efficient at her job & making you feel as ease on your big day.
Venue - beautiful & perfect for a hot summer wedding. Spacious outdoor patio & beautiful & air conditioned space indoors. If you can, get married outside at the gazebo. It makes for such a special ceremony.
Bar - the bartenders here always so incredibly nice. We had been guests at this venue before, & each & every time the staff is on-it & personable. The drinks were also so tasty. Opt for the premium bar if you can, it does not disappoint.
Food - we opted for a BBQ to allow for more mingle time, best decision we ever made. Also, the food was even better than the tasting (which was delicious). The owner manned the BBQ in his cowboy hat & brought his homemade horseradish sauce for the steaks.
Decorations/Lights - you NEED the lights, they absolutely added to the ambiance & made any indoor pictures way cuter. They are ~$800, but if there is a wedding/event the day before or day after, you can ask to share the cost (saving you almost half the cost).
DJ/Music - Our only'meh' experience was with the company who is hired to do the music. My husband put together a long & comprehensive email & several playlists for the DJ to riff off of (pre dinner, post dinner, opening up the dance floor, last hour of the party etc.), but the coordinator for the AV team never sent the DJ our email so we had to send it night of after listening to several super cheesy songs. We are very picky when it comes to music, so we had to insist to sticking to the playlist vibes. Once that was taken care of, we proceeded to dance the night away.
TLDR: best venue, best staff, & one of the most affordable places in Montreal to hold a wedding.

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.
Nous vous remercions encore d'avoir fait de notre mariage la plus belle des journées. Alexa & Alexandra nous ont mis en confiance dès le premier jour, & votre équipe a su livrer jusqu'à la dernière seconde. La journée a été au-delà de nos attentes. La communication lors de l'organisation de notre mariage a été extrêmement simple & sans stress grâce à vous.
Nous avons également reçu de nombreux commentaires positifs de la part de nos invités sur la qualité des stations gastronomiques, le service impeccable de votre équipe & le bar ouvert très élaboré.
Nous vous souhaitons une bonne continuité dans tous vos projets & encore beaucoup de succès !
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 !
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
Very nice & cozy place. I went there for a company event, we had a terrasse at the back where we were all hanging out & the bar inside. The staff was friendly & the place looks good & clean
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!
