Question

How did we meet?

Why Montreal?

Why not Montreal? Job has family living in Canada and the wedding seemed like a perfect opportunity to use our passports and explore.

Question

Is Montreal a fun city?

The city is a mix of old and new architecture, there are art museums and street murals, one of the largest botanical gardens in the world, a prevalent jazz and comedy scenes, delicious food, and even biking and hiking opportunities in the city itself. We recommend staying at least a few days to experience at least some fun that the city has to offer.
