L'Ambroisie et L'Espace Canal

Reviews

1. Nous avons célébré notre mariage à ce magnifique endroit la semaine dernière, et l’expérience a été tout simplement magique. La cérémonie dans les jardins était absolument féerique. Le site est magnifique, parfaitement entretenu et 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, et plusieurs de nos invités nous en parlent encore aujourd’hui. Nous souhaitons également remercier Jaime et Tony, qui étaient présents le jour de notre mariage. Leur professionnalisme, leur efficacité et leur présence rassurante ont contribué au bon déroulement de la journée et 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 et 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 et le soutien de Jaime et Tony, cette journée restera inoubliable. Nous recommandons ce lieu sans hésitation. Merci beaucoup!!!!
2. 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
3. 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.
4. Ma femme et moi sommes allés souper là pour la Saint-Valentin et nous avons été plus que satisfaits par la qualité de la nourriture ainsi que la belle présentation de celle-ci. Ce fut une belle soirée avec une ambiance bien adaptée pour l'occasion !
5. 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.
6. Nous vous remercions encore d’avoir fait de notre mariage la plus belle des journées. Alexa et Alexandra nous ont mis en confiance dès le premier jour, et 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 et 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 et le bar ouvert très élaboré. Nous vous souhaitons une bonne continuité dans tous vos projets et encore beaucoup de succès ! Laurence & Francis 10.10.2025
7. I had my wedding here and it was incredible! The staff is so helpful on the day of, you feel like a guest at your own wedding! And i didnt even have a wedding planner! The food was delicious and all my guests said so. Even with a mishap with communication with the DJ, the music was great and the night was unforgettable. Ambroisie is so gorgeous, it really is a beautiful place for a wedding. Thank you to Tony, Jaime, Alexandra, and all the wait staff for making my wedding incredible.
8. Je suis allée à un party de Noël du travail le samedi 07/12 et c'était vraiment agréable. Au menu, il y avait deux plats : du saumon ou du bœuf. La salle était chic et parfaite pour l'événement, et l'ambiance était très plaisante. Le service durant le repas était efficace et tout le personnel était souriant et accueillant. Le barman était professionnel et préparait des cocktails délicieux, même pour quelqu'un qui ne consomme pas d'alcool :). En somme, une expérience très positive !
9. We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at L'Espace Canal, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment we started planning, our coordinator Dietrich took care of every detail with such professionalism and care. The venue itself is stunning, with its charming ambiance and beautiful views of the canal providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish, the food and service was exceptional. Overall, L'Ambroisie et L'Espace Canal exceeded all our expectations, and we are so grateful to Dietrich and the entire team for making our wedding day so memorable. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a perfect place to tie the knot.
10. J'ai photographié une réception de mariage du côté de L'Ambroisie en mai 2022. Mes mariés ont également fait leur cérémonie sur place, dans les jardins. C'est un lieu facile d'accès avec un très grand stationnement, ce qui est bien pratique (et rare) à Montréal. Le décor sur place et aux alentours laisse plein de possibilités pour les photos, peu importe le moment de la journée/soirée: on aime ça! Le repas était excellent. Ça a été une très belle expérience! Au plaisir de revenir chez vous! :)
