FAQs

Question

How do I get there?

Answer

The venue is located on Parc Jean Drapeau, which is composed of two islands (Ile Sainte-Helene and Ile-Notre Dame), located between Montreal and the South Shore. The venue itself is located on Ile Notre-Dame, right off of the F1 race track and close to the Montreal Casino. By car: You can access the island using either the Jacques-Cartier Bridge (from the South Shore or from Montreal) or the Concorde Bridge (from Montreal only). Follow signs for the Canada Pavilion (P5). PLEASE NOTE: the Jacques-Cartier Bridge may be closed from 8:30pm to 11:30 pm for the fireworks at La Ronde. If you were planning to leave the venue at this time, you must take the de la Concorde Bridge (though it sounds like a great excuse to stay and celebrate longer if you ask us!). Public Transit: The Jean-Drapeau metro station is located on Ile Sainte-Helene. Shuttles from the subway station run to the Casino year-round. La Toundra is a short walk, about 10 minutes, from the Casino.

There are 70 parking passes included in our rental hall. As we are expecting about 180 guests, please consider carpooling to ensure everyone has a space to park!

Question

Are the ceremony and reception at the same place?

Answer

Yes, the ceremony and reception are taking place at the same location. Weather permitting, the ceremony will be held in the botanical gardens in front of the hall, about a 5 minute walk from the venue itself (no direct car access).

Question

What do I wear?

Answer

As an outdoorsy summer wedding, we'd classify what to wear as "Cocktail Attire". Cocktail dresses, long or short, sundresses, dressy jumpsuits, dress pants, suits, whatever you wear really is fine with us! With the ceremony and cocktail hour being held in the gardens, consider what shoes you would like to wear in soft grass.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes! Was there ever any doubt?
