The Most Stunning Wedding Venues in Montreal
🥂 The Ritz-Carlton Montreal | Where Luxury Feels Effortless
Visit the Ritz-Carlton Montreal
If you’re picturing elegance, grace, and a hint of Gatsby-esque opulence — welcome to The Ritz-Carlton. The Oval Room alone deserves its own Pinterest board, with golden chandeliers and perfectly polished floors. I love shooting here because everything just glows. Your grandma will love it, your bridal party will love it, and yes, Instagram will love it too.
🪩 Le Windsor Ballrooms | The Ultimate Fairytale Spot
Visit Le Windsor Ballrooms
This venue looks like it was stolen straight from a royal palace. Marble, gold, and ceilings so high they seem to touch the sky. I once heard a guest whisper, “Are we sure we didn’t walk into a European castle by mistake?” Perfect for large weddings with a touch of drama (the good kind).
🌳 La Toundra | Garden Romance with Skyline Views
Explore La Toundra
Hidden within the stunning Floralies Gardens, La Toundra is where nature and city vibes collide beautifully. The garden ceremonies here are chef’s kiss, and the Montreal skyline gives every photo a romantic edge. Pro tip: sunsets here? Unreal. Bring tissues (for the tears, obviously).
🌊 Forest & Stream Club | Lakeside Manor Dreams
See Forest & Stream Club
Imagine a stately old manor on the shores of Lake Saint-Louis. Picture fireplaces, wood-paneled walls, and the soft clinking of glasses under antique chandeliers. That’s the Forest & Stream Club — intimate, timeless, and straight out of a period drama (but with modern catering and fewer corsets).
🏛 Auberge Saint-Gabriel | Old Montreal’s Best-Kept Secret
Discover Auberge Saint-Gabriel
Auberge Saint-Gabriel is one of those places that oozes history. Built in 1688 (yes, 1688), it’s both rustic and elegant. Think exposed stone walls, cozy corners, and a hidden courtyard perfect for first-look photos. It feels like a little time-travel adventure right in Old Montreal.
✨ Maison Principale | Modern Minimalism in Mile End
Visit Maison Principale
Minimalist couples, this one’s for you. Maison Principale is a trendy, boutique venue that feels like a blank canvas waiting for your vision. Industrial yet warm, clean yet inviting. I love how every couple puts their own spin on it, from boho-chic to contemporary glam.
🧪 Montreal Science Centre | For the Creative & Curious
Visit Montreal Science Centre
Yes, a science centre can be romantic — especially when it offers epic waterfront views and glass-filled modern spaces. It’s a fantastic choice for creative couples who want something a little offbeat. Your guests will be raving about it (and maybe learning a thing or two).
