Perfect Destination Wedding venues in Old Montreal !!!

Old Montreal is a very popular destination for weddings! We've done weddings for couples from all around including New York, Boston, LA, Toronto as well as London and Ireland!! All these couples seem to be attracted to the romance and beauty Old Montreal has to offer!!! We've put together this blog just for brides wanting to plan their own destination wedding in Old Montreal!Considered to be one of the most beautiful historic districts in North America, Old Montreal provides an enchanting backdrop for your wedding. Narrow cobblestone streets bordered by centuries-old buildings in the European architectural tradition, public areas and monuments, and the ambiance provided by the presence of the St. Lawrence River and the Old Port so close by make this the ideal location to celebrate your love.

The Montréal Science Centre, in the heart of the Old Port

The large and bright spaces of the Montréal Science Centre were created from the former sheds dating back to the early twentieth century, witness to Montréal’s industrial and maritime history.

The rental spaces available all share a common and remarkable feature: whether they be interior or exterior spaces, large halls or private lounges, they boast a spectacular location, on a site that is both historic and modern, one of the most popular in Quebec. Their versatility and the panoramic views they offer are unparalleled.

If you're planning to have a ceremony, cocktail and a reception all one in one location - this venue would be ideal! Our favourite is the Perspective and Passerelle for it's view but of course The Belvedere has a terrace that guests will love!

Special Note: The space comes bare, so you will have to plan to hire a caterer and bring in all your rental needs. I would look into hiring a professional coordinator if you chose this venue.Website: www.centredessciencesdemontreal.com

Marché Bonsecours

Marché Bonsecours, with its superb view of the St. Lawrence, the Old Port and some of Old Montréal’s most striking historic treasures, is considered one of the ten finest heritage buildings in Canada.

They have Reception Halls with outstanding cachet that can handle groups of 100 to 975 guests. Each of the spaces have their own special charm, with old stone walls, high vaulted ceilings and ample windows.They make it easy to create the décor you’re looking for, from elegant to romantic or absolutely spectacular. Your guests will leave Montreal with lasting memories! Our favorite is the Salle De La Commune because of it's private entrance and the mezzanine... but of course the spaciousness of the Ballroom will make any wedding look spectacular!!!

Special Note: The space comes bar, so again you will have to plan to hire a caterer and bring in all your rental needs. I would look into hiring a professional coordinator if you chose this venue.
