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) and having Alexandra Goguen-Vallee walk us through the process was the icing on the cake. She made everything feel so smooth, seamless, and made us have full confidence in the venue. The food was very tasty, drinks as well. No complaints from our guests! Would highly recommend.

We had our wedding just over a week ago for about 85 guests and 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 and staff were excellent! No complaints from any of my guests about the food nor the wait staff! The bar man was AMAZING and 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 and smiley face behind the bar! To the kitchen staff/waiting staff, everything came out with great timing and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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 AND 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 and 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" and 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 and/or groom because this put an unnecessary damper on an important moment in the evening, and it was all for nothing. I understand being cautious but in these events it is important to think before acting and maybe taking a moment to reflect whether it truly is a problem and should be flagged or wait and see what would happen without having to worry the bride and 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 and slow down on the alcohol" I was just trying to enjoy my evening so I went to said guest (my husbands brother) and let him know (he is a father of three and was just enjoying the evening to let loose which he never can) and this caused a big commotion and finished with him and 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 and 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 and highly recommend L'Ambroisie!

The venue was amazing. The location itself is beautiful, the staff were all incredibly friendly and professional. The food was delicious. We had a wedding of over 100 people and everyone had the most wonderful time. Our wedding coordinator Alexandra was fantastic and helped us out at every stage of the process. She was very accommodating to our asks, super friendly, very professional, and a joy to work with. We will not stop recommending this place to anyone we know who is getting married. Thank you for everything, it was truly an unforgettable experience! - Marina and Kevin

I can not recommend this venue enough for a wedding!! We were married July 2025 and we had Alexandra as our coordinator. She is AMAZING! She is incredibly efficient at her job and making you feel as ease on your big day. Venue - beautiful and perfect for a hot summer wedding. Spacious outdoor patio and beautiful and 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, and each and every time the staff is on-it and 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 and brought his homemade horseradish sauce for the steaks. Decorations/Lights - you NEED the lights, they absolutely added to the ambiance and 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 and comprehensive email and 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, and 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, and 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, and the food came out properly and on time. The taste of the food was simply WOW. Our guests raved about the steak and the halibut risotto, and 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, and that is very accurate. I want to call out the following people who made our day so magical and beautiful: Marie-France – Bar mastermind Service Team: Rohan, Amber, Jonathan Behind the Scenes Team: Dallas, Sebastien, Gordon (sous-chef), Stuart (Chef), John, and all the cooks and dishwashers who made the food amazing Alexandra – Coordinator, point of contact and the person that had a key role in make our night magical from preparation, planning and navigating all our needy requests and finding a way to get them accepted by the owner. They are such a delight to work with and so flexible and 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, and 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 and 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 and for all your work and effort. You are all such wonderful human beings with big hearts.
