If you’re looking for a wedding venue in (or near) Montreal that has vibes baked in, or has the flexibility for you to get creative in your planning, I’ve put together a shortlist of favorites that I have photographed over the years.

Montreal’s Best Hotel & Restaurant Wedding Venues

Le Mount Stephen Hotel & Bar George
Located in the heart of Downtown Montreal, this old gentleman’s club was converted into a bar & hotel without scraping its history from the walls. In an effort to not repeat myself — I’ve written about this venue (and wedding) here.

Laura and Antonino

People gathered at a formal event in an ornate, elegant ballroom with high ceilings, large curtains, and chandeliers. Some are seated at tables with floral centerpieces, while others stand and socialize near a bar area.

Le Windsor
Located steps away from Mary Queen of the World and Ste Catherine O, this venue can host larger weddings comfortably with a sense of refinery and luxury. I always love being able to step out with couples to take advantage of the architectural history downtown without having to be away from the party for too long.

Crew Collective Cafe
Don’t be fooled by it being a cafe, this former bank has magnificent architecture that will wow any wedding guest. It also has the bonus of being located in the heart of Old Montreal, where many couples love to take advantage of its heritage to snap a few portraits in.

Westbury Ballroom
New, modern, and off of the Decarie highway - this venue is situated in The Hilton Garden Inn and surpassed my expectations in the most positive way. At times, modern wedding venues can feel lacking in personality, but the Westbury delivers in ambience, service, clean lines, interesting mirrors and great lighting. So often, newer venues invest in the wrong lighting - and for photographers… this is EVERYTHING.

Le Serpent
A unique venue for all creative couples. Carrie and Nick, both professional artists in their own right, were drawn to this restaurant venue because it aligned with their values in design, art and food. I was instantly in love with the place when I saw one of my own former photography teachers, Genevieve Cadieux, works hanging on the walls. Did I mention it was Michelin recommended?

Elegant indoor event space with long banquet tables decorated with floral centerpieces and candles, large windows allowing natural light, and people in formal attire socializing in the background.
People celebrating at a formal event or wedding reception, with women holding glasses of champagne and floral centerpieces on the table.

Restaurant Le Richmond
A long time ago this restaurant was a speakeasy type club that you could only gain access to if you knew the right people (when I was in school). Griffintown has transformed into a neighborhood rising out of its industrial era and really embracing its history and proximity to the Lachine Canal. The restaurant wedding venue has a cool elegance that encourages conversation, bringing the outdoors in with its tree lined courtyard. However way the light ends up falling, it makes for some very painterly portraits of wedding guests.

Auberge Saint-Gabriel
This slightly hidden, unassuming rustic… hotel? restaurant? venue in Old Montreal is infused with its own character, like corner pianos, dangling chandeliers, and soothing fireplaces. Opening onto cobblestone, there are plenty of classic locations for portraits within walking distance (and bonus! getting married in the Notre Dame Basilica nearby, like France and Gregory did.)

Le Club Chasse et Peche
Like Le Serpent, this Michelin recommended restaurant delivers in quiet luxury in a cozy cave like setting steps away from the main square in Old Montreal. Perfect for smaller, intimate celebrations, especially in the winter. A great one for the foodie demographic.

Stephanie and Gabriel

A cozy restaurant interior with a long wooden table set for dinner, flower arrangements, brick walls, a large mirror, green bench seating, wooden chairs, and modern chandelier lighting.

Jacopo MTL
Another restaurant location situated in Old Montreal. You wouldn’t know by its quiet courtyard in its mezzanine that this restaurant sits smack dab in the center of Jacques Cartier square. Italian cuisine, lots of exposed brick, plenty of light, and they make a mean aperol spritz over cocktail hour.

Kaitlyn and Tom

A couple sharing a kiss outside a black building with gold lettering reading "HARRISON + BOULU." They are dressed in formal attire, with the woman wearing a light-colored coat and the man in a dark suit. They are close together, embracing each other.
A woman and man are sitting closely on a maroon velvet couch in an intimate pose, with faces close together. The woman is wearing a cream-colored dress and the man is in a black suit with a white shirt and yellow tie. They are in a dimly lit room with textured beige walls.

Ritz Carlton Hotel & Maison Boulud
One of Montreal’s most luxurious hotels, the Ritz protects their guests privacy and offers up many beautiful spots in their hotel for ceremony, cocktail, and reception. I have photographed HUGE weddings here and smaller, more intimate affairs. As well, a great spot for getting ready before your wedding.
