As a DJ I sometimes get asked if I know of any great venues in Montreal to hold a wedding, party or event at. While there are so many wonderful reception halls in Montreal, sometimes people are looking for something a little different, alternative, or with an industrial feel to it. I’ve put together a short list of five great venues in Montreal that are just that!
Canvas Montreal
Canvas is located in Lachine, in a ninety-five year old building and has been restored to its original state. Hardwood floors, massive steel beams, exposed brick walls and frosted windows add to the beautiful loft atmosphere. There is contemporary lounge furniture, a bar, kitchen, and free parking.
Give Mike a call at Canvas (514) 726-3099 or Email info@canvasmontreal.com. Their address is 870 Notre Dame, Lachine (Quebec), H8S 2B7.Espace Reunion
Espace Reunion located in the up-and-coming area of Montreal, where Mile-End meets Outremont, Rosemont and Park-Extension. Built in the 1930’s, Espace Reunion took care when renovating to preserve the original industrial architectural touches of the building while adding a dose of purist chic to the space.

Espace Griffintown is located just south of downtown Montreal, in the now very popular area called Griffintown. With soaring 16 ft. ceilings, canvas style walls and a spacious interior, this urban warehouse offers style and convenience for any event.

The Rialto Theatre was built in the 1920’s as a movie palace in Montreal, and is a national historic site. Even though the theatre is used for shows and concerts now, it can be rented out for private events.

The Lion d’Or, located in the Gay Village in Montreal, was built in the 1930’s as a Cabaret venue. It has been carefully restored and upgraded over the years while keeping its original art deco style. Just imagine the type of atmosphere that could be created with a venue like this!
