When the owners of Joe Beef and Maison Publique brought McKiernan back from the dead, they made it way more than a luncheonette. Located in Côte-St-Paul, version 2.0 doubles as an event space, which can pack up to 200 people in without feeling cramped.

Tacos make most things in life better, including weddings. Especially lovely in the warmer months when Grumman’s garage doors open up the room into a part-indoor, part-outdoor venue, weddings here are guaranteed to be wholly unpretentious. And delicious.

There’s a reason Beatrice (formerly known as Bice) has long been one of Montreal’s most sought-after places to get married. The indoor-outdoor dining room holds up to 200 guests and, strewn with string lights year-round, makes for a magical place to say “I do”.

This Italian restaurant in Griffintown likes to do things all the way—see the array of on-site farm animals at its seasonal sugar shack brunch — and when it comes to weddings, the room just lends itself to that over-the-top feel. With its high ceilings, ample greenery and generous-sized bar, it’s a good bet if you’re looking for a glammed-up supper-club vibe.

If you’ve been to Gibbys in Old Montreal before, you’ve surely noticed the quaint courtyard to the side of the restaurant, tucked away behind wrought iron gates. This charming spot is a popular one for vows or an intimate cocktail, with the option of a steakhouse dinner indoors to follow. One caveat: the aforementioned is actually a public courtyard, meaning music cannot be played in the space.

For an outside-the-box (and outside the city) option, popular Rigaud sugar shack Sucrerie de la Montagne puts on a wedding that’s about as rustic as possible without actually taking place in a forest (which is actually an option here, for those interested in exchanging vows amid the maple trees). With hearty Québécois plates, there’s also zero threat of guests leaving hungry from here.
