The Most Incredible Wedding Experience

When my husband and I found this venue we knew that we were meant to get married here. The cabaret history and the beauty of the space is simply perfect. Our experience was flawless. Laura, our banquet manager treated us so well. She was extremely flexible, and really understood how important this day was to us and made all our off the wall requests happen. The technical team was stellar and turned this beautiful space into a visually appealing dream. Our guests raved about the food and the service as well. Cabaret Lion D'or took our wedding from an idea to a complete experience.

Great experience, easy planning

From the first meeting with Lara, you'll realize you're dealing with professionals. Lion d'Or's an almost all-inclusive venue; bring some centerpieces, a cake and an officiant and you’re good to go. We even hired our DJ through them, and she was great.

They’ve done bigger, more complicated events. They will pull off your wedding without a hitch, your guests will be amazed, it will be great and you’ll have amazing pictures. If you’re looking to minimize the headaches and stress of planning a wedding, this is the venue for you.

The venue is an old-school cabaret, with original art deco decoration. There's a fairly extensive "Backstage" area in the basement, with dressing rooms, private bathroom and a lounge area for the wedding party to get ready. The tunnel under the main hall allows you to move people from the back of the room to the stage out of sights of the guests - We had the bride come in through the restaurant, into the tunnel, the guests never saw her until she made her entrance. The entrance and main hall are beautifully decorated, we brough minimal decorations (A seating charts, centerpieces and an arch, basically).

We did both the ceremony and the reception in the hall. For the ceremony, we had the guests seated in front of the stage; the bridal party walked in from the back of the room and the ceremony took place on the stage. As soon as we were finished, staff was already circulating with signature cocktails (We went for the French 75) and appetizers for the cocktail reception. The staff somehow reconfigured the room from ceremony to banquet without anyone noticing.

For the meal, we had ten tables of ten guests each and a sweetheart table for the couple. The tables were large enough for that number, but I wouldn't recommend more than ten guests to a table. The food was excellent, sit-down restaurant quality, and the service (in both French and English) was impeccable. The waitstaff was extremely attentive; they made sure to bring the bride appetizers from the cocktail reception and covered the couple's meals with cloches when we were up and about visiting. The staff provides the kind of elevated, high class service one would expect in a black tie venue – you can’t see them, but they’ll be by your side before you realize you need anything. Truly a five star experience.

Once the meal was over, the staff moved the sweetheart table out of the way and we had our dance floor. Having a lighting technician on duty makes an incredible difference, the venue went from romantic old school cabaret to chic night club as the night went on. Many of our friends described it as the greatest party they’ve ever attended.

The bar is fully staffed, and the bartenders are professionals. We had the premium open bar drink package, and none of the guests had to wait for their drinks; the bartenders pour and mix very well.

We served the cake at a “self-serve” table, and that led to the one logistical hiccup of the night – none of the front of house staff had experience cutting a multi-tiered cake. This one is on us, though; the event coordinator had warned us this might be the case. Thankfully one of our guests had some experience in the matter and the situation was resolved with a smile.

Finally, we’d chosen poutine for the midnight buffet; the poutine was possibly the best we’ve ever had.

We dispatched a few friends to the venue as soon as doors opened to set up the centerpieces, arch and seating chart / place cards, the staff was extremely helpful with the set up and our advance team was done setting up long before the bridal party was on the way to the venue. Wrap up and clean up was handled completely by the staff; we came back on the Monday to pick up the decorations that had been left behind.

Seriously, this might be the easiest place to have a classy, unforgettable wedding for 100 guests in Montreal.

We still can't stop talking about our wedding here!

We were blown away by the quality of food, the excellent service and how smoothly the entire night went. Lara was extremely helpful and responsive leading up the event, and the rest of the staff was as amazing and on point the night of. We continue to hear from our guests that it was the best wedding they've been to, including best food and best service! Seriously would do it all over again at the Lion D'Or if we could. Don't miss out on the midnight poutines, they were a big hit with our guests. Thanks again for making our wedding so incredibly memorable!!

Wedding of our dreams!

The team at the Lion D'Or beyond exceeded our expectations. They really listened to our vision and helped bring it to life. We searched for months to find the perfect venue that provided everthing from A-Z and this was it! So affordable, and the quality was not missed. I would recommend everyone to book with the Lion D'Or. I will remember this day for the rest of my life! Thank you so much to the entire team. You made our day so special.

Exceptional service

Great food, great ambiance. Akim and Lara are warm, receptive, extremely professional and flexible, much more than many other coordinators/managers we spoke to. Highly recommend.

Une magnifique soirée!

Our wedding at Lion d'Or was absolutely beautiful! Akim, Lara, Catherine, and the rest of the team were kind, helpful, and always available to answer questions. Our guests messaged us about how good the food was. (One even described the crème brulée as "orgasmic" ! ) Everything went to plan, without a hitch. To be honest, we originally planned on having our wedding at a sugar shack, until a friend recommended Lion d'Or. Lion d'Or was only slightly more expensive than the sugar shack, in the heart of the city, and 100% worth it. Merci infiniment encore!

Thank you so much Sierra for this beautiful comment! The whole Cabaret Lion d'Or team joins me in wishing you a ton of happiness, love... and everything what you wish!
I guess we will see you someday for another "orgasmic" creme brûlée at Au Petit Extra;)
Best regards,

Awesome venue for the perfect wedding!

We booked our wedding with Lion d'Or for last month and it was perfect! The cabaret has a unique timeless charm that adds a magical touch. We had 90 guests and it was also the perfect number for that place (it can fit up to 120 people). We had room for a dancefloor and no tables had to be moved. Also, the Lion d'Or staff is very professional. We had a wonderful time dealing with Akim the whole year prior to the wedding. And the day of the reception, the venue manager was very helpful. Most of our guests had never been to Lion d'Or and we got a lot of great comments on our pretty this venue was. I could not recommend more the Lion d'Or for a wedding!

We had our wedding there in may and I had to write them a review as they are possibly the most professional and attentive team that I have ever met ...and I've thrown a few parties and banquets for work. I have been there 3 to 4 times and have seen how they set uo for concerts and shows and it's remarquable how absolutely amazing everyone is from the light technician to the sommelier from the restaurant Le petit extra Geoffroy....to the manager Akim.

Akim and Geoffroy made our wedding a beautiful experience and I feel that I have gain two new friends.
Our guests were absolutely blown away by how wonderful everyone on their team was...

This location deserves all the praise in the world. They have really cool concerts and if you are there definitely eat at their restaurant called le petit extra... who happens to do the catering for the weddings.
