Best Wedding Venue Ever!

We had our wedding at L'Espace Canal this past weekend and I am so glad that we chose this venue! First, L'Espace canal is absolutely beautiful. Second, our venue coordinator (Alexandra) and the L'Ambroisie/L'Espace Canal chefs and staff were fantastic throughout the entire engagement/planning process. The venue worked closely with us to customize a Southern Food buffet station to reflect my Georgia (USA) roots. They were open to suggested recipe changes, and the food turned out great - our guests were raving! Alexandra was extremely responsive to emails (normally within 24 hours) during the planning process. Alexandra and the other venue staff also did an amazing job setting up the decorations and coordinating the arrival of other vendors. I did not have to worry about a thing on my wedding day - everything was beautiful and set up exactly to my specifications. During the wedding, the staff and bartenders were very professional and attentive to both us as bride and groom, as well as our guests. Our wedding was at L'Espace Canal was an absolute dream. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Wonderful wedding experience

We had a spectacular wedding at L'Ambroisie in their restaurant event space. In the months leading up to the wedding, our coordinator Dietrich answered all of our many questions via email within a day of our asking. He did everything possible to ensure our event went smoothly and it went better than we could have even imagined! We didn't hire a separate wedding planner, in part because we knew the day of logistics would be taken care of, which they were. We highly recommend getting married at L'Ambroisie!

A Stunning Venue

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.

Perfect venue perfect coordinator

I instantly clicked with Alexandra and my husband and I felt in love with the venue. We did not even bother visiting many venues, this one was the 2nd. Alexandra knows her job very well and her and I worked together to plan a lovely event that was simply a reflection of our couple. Of course no event is ever perfect but it was very close to perfection. All our guests were happy, the food was great, and everyone was happy! Thank you Alexandra and team!

Enchanting Ambroisie

We had our wedding at L'Ambroisie in May 2024. It was great! The location is ideal ( ceremony, cocktail hour, reception), offers overnight parking if needed. Staff is accommodating to special requests and really go out of their way to make it happen. Price is well worth it and very reasonable and they offer many options. Amazing open bar, great DJ. They recommend vendors that are good to use because they know the venue inside and out. The food is SO good and there are many options to chose from. Great places to take photos as well. Overall, beautiful venue, great staff, amazing wedding !!

The day of our dreams

We celebrated our wedding at Espace Canal last weekend and it was the day of our dreams. Alexa has been a joy to work with through the entire planning process. These haven't been easy times for the industry, but despite pandemic closures and labour shortages, L'Ambroisie has managed to retain a dedicated, amazing staff full of people who clearly love working there, and they made our big day awesome. The weather cooperated to give us a beautiful sunny day and we got our dream wedding ceremony in the gardens along the canal. The party after was fantastic - the food, drinks, setup, everything went off without a hitch. They customized the menu based on our feedback and were so accommodating and flexible with our requests. Special shout-out to Alexa and team for accommodating our unique craft beer and whiskey requests. To couples looking for a beautiful venue for their wedding, look no further!

Absolutely perfect

We celebrated our wedding at l'Ambroisie a month ago and we really loved our event as well as the whole process of creating it. Since our first visit of the venue we felt that the coordinator had a lot of experience and we could follow her lead. Their documents are thorough and clear; the structure (schedule, menu, bar options, ceremony, etc) made us feel like we were in good hands, but at the same time there was enough space and flexibility for us to create a wedding that we felt was unique and reflected who we are. During the evening the staff was very nice and efficient, we felt that they were happy to be there and that they knew what they were doing. Our guests and us really loved the meal, from the appetizers all the way to the dessert. Honestly, if we were to do it all over again we would choose the same venue without any hesitation. The price was also very affordable, especially comparing with other restaurants in the neighbourhood. And the garden along the water for the ceremony was just so charming. We're so happy with how our wedding went. Thank you l'Ambroisie!
