Matt & Kevin's wedding celebration
Things To Do
Gibeau Orange Julep
Just look at the giant orange! Visit this spot ~15 minutes from our venue to have an authentic Montreal poutine... and one that happens to be vegetarian friendly as well!
Old Montreal
Wander through the cobblestone streets of Old Montreal and take in the beautiful architecture, historical landmarks, and vibrant atmosphere. Don’t miss visiting the Notre-Dame Basilica, a stunning Gothic Revival church, and exploring the Old Port, where you can stroll along the waterfront... right to the wedding venue!
Montréal Underground City
Explore Montreal’s unique Underground City, a network of tunnels and shopping complexes beneath the city. It’s an excellent way to shop, dine, or just wander during colder months, as the underground path connects major buildings, metro stations, and malls.
Mount Royal
Do not miss the chance to walk, hike, or drive up to get the best views of Montreal from the mountain that the city is built on (and around!)
Grab a Montreal Bagel!
How can you not? Matt insists these are better than New York bagels... Grab them from St-Viateur Bagel, or try Beauty's Luncheonette for a loaded bagel with lox, cream cheese, and lots of other yummy things!
Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal
Located on Mount Royal’s northern slope, St. Joseph’s Oratory is a magnificent basilica and a site of pilgrimage. Its large dome is the second largest in the world, offering impressive views of the city. The church is also known for its peaceful gardens and serene atmosphere.
Schwartz's Deli
No trip to Montreal is complete without an overstuffed smoked meat sandwich from one of its famous delis. Schwartz's is arguably the most famous, and it is worth standing in line for. Hate the idea of waiting in line for food? (Us too!) Try Lester's Deli on Bernard for a quieter, but just as delicious, experience.
Jean Talon Market
Immerse yourself in Montreal’s culinary scene by visiting the vibrant Jean-Talon Market in Little Italy. This is one of the largest public markets in North America, offering fresh produce, local goods, and a wide variety of international foods. It’s a great place to sample Quebec specialties like cheese, maple syrup, and fresh pastries.
Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
This museum has great works by Picasso, Monet, Renoir, and is a great place to spend some time right in the heart of Montreal.
McGill University
When walking around downtown Montreal, don't miss a chance to visit the campus of Canada's most prestigious university (and, not to brag, but Matt's Alma Mater!)
La Maison Simons
Want to go shopping? Montreal has loads of unique boutiques and access to tons of great designers. But, being honest, all the clothes you compliment the grooms on come from this Canadian department store, which features a mix of private brands and well-known designers.
Quebec City
Want to extend your trip? Just four hours north of Montreal by car is Quebec's capital city, a truly stunning showcase of historical architecture and natural beauty. Visit for a serene experience!
Mont-Tremblant
Want to extend your trip? While you will (most likely) not get any snow on the mountain, the iconic ski hill and surrounding village make for a great bolt-on to a Montreal trip. The drive up north will offer premium leaf-peeping views as well!
Ottawa
Want to extend your trip? You can drive to Canada's capital city in just two hours for another culturally rich, truly Canadian city full of great meals and great views.
