My son is getting married here. But what people don't know anybody could go there at the restaurant, which is great. & prices are decent. & I have to tell you, Amber, makes a hell of a good sangria. Yes, it is a place where they host a lot of events, but it's also a restaurant with a big terrasse. Right by the water, just go & check it out. I strongly recommend it.
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
We had the absolute pleasure of getting married at L'Espace Canal a few days ago, & truly, we wouldn't have changed a thing!
From start to finish, the entire team made our wedding unforgettable.
Our coordinator, Alexandra, guided us throughout the entire year. She answered every question quickly, supported us through each detail, & made the planning process feel easy & reassuring.
On the day of the wedding, we had Cléa coordinating , & she was incredible. Her energy, kindness, & calm confidence made the whole day run flawlessly. She set everything up beautifully, kept everything on track, & was so collaborative & lovely to work with.
Tony, your service was exceptional! You checked on us throughout the night, made sure we were always taken care of, & added such a thoughtful touch to the evening.
DJ Big Daddy, thank you for keeping the dance floor packed!! Your energy was incredible!
To the rest of the staff: Jonathan, Linda, Rohin, Marcos, Natalia, & Victoria , thank you!!
Every single one of you was friendly, attentive, & provided amazing service.
L'Espace Canal gave us the wedding of our dreams. We are so grateful for the entire team & would recommend this venue wholeheartedly.

We truly had the best time of our lives celebrating our wedding here. From beginning to end, everything exceeded our expectations.
A very special thank you to Clea, our wedding coordinator, whose kindness, professionalism, & attention to detail made the entire process smooth & stress-free. She, along with the owner & the entire team, went above & beyond to accommodate our requests & ensure that both we & our guests had an unforgettable experience.
The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, & genuinely cared about making sure everyone was having a wonderful time. The food was absolutely delicious, & our guests are still talking about it days later.
What impressed us most was how much heart & dedication the entire team put into making our celebration memorable. We felt supported, listened to, & truly cared for every step of the way.
If you are looking for a wedding venue in Montreal, we cannot recommend this place highly enough. In our opinion, it is the best place to get married in the city. Thank you for giving us memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives! ❤?💍✨
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.
Nous avons célébré notre mariage à ce magnifique endroit la semaine dernière, & l'expérience a été tout simplement magique.
La cérémonie dans les jardins était absolument féerique. Le site est magnifique, parfaitement entretenu & offre un décor exceptionnel pour une journée aussi importante.
L'un des aspects qui nous a le plus impressionnés a été la qualité de la nourriture. Il est rare d'assister à un mariage où le repas est aussi délicieux. Tous les plats étaient excellents, & plusieurs de nos invités nous en parlent encore aujourd'hui.
Nous souhaitons également remercier Jaime & Tony, qui étaient présents le jour de notre mariage. Leur professionnalisme, leur efficacité & leur présence rassurante ont contribué au bon déroulement de la journée & nous ont permis de profiter pleinement de chaque moment. Ils ont joué un rôle important dans le succès de notre mariage.
Les seuls points négatifs concerne le DJ, dont les services sont imposés par le lieu. Malheureusement, il s'est montré plutôt impoli & a joué la mauvaise version de notre chanson de première danse, malgré les informations précises qui lui avaient été transmises à l'avance. C'était décevant pour un moment aussi significatif.
Malgré cela, nous gardons un souvenir extraordinaire de notre mariage. Entre le cadre enchanteur, la qualité exceptionnelle du repas & le soutien de Jaime & Tony, cette journée restera inoubliable. Nous recommandons ce lieu sans hésitation. Merci beaucoup!!!!
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!
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
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.
