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.
Reviews / Ratings for L'Ambroisie et L'Espace Canal
Wonderful area can not say enough about this restaurant service food all is great thank you to all the staff
They provided a spectacular environment and meal for me, my bride, and our wedding parties.
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.
Our wedding at Ambroisie was an absolutely wonderful experience, filled with beautiful memories. Everything was exceptional, and we are completely satisfied ❤️ A huge thank you to Alexandra for her continuous support and attention, to Cléa for her understanding, flexibility, great energy, and availability, and to Amber and the entire team for the impeccable service and great attitude throughout the day😊. We highly recommend Ambroisie for a truly successful wedding 🎉
