What should I wear ? Is there a dress code ?
The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal/cocktail attire. Think cocktail dresses, suit and tie, or a sports coat.
For the welcome drinks, we envision a slightly more relaxed, 'dressy casual' affair. Think suits with no tie, a midi dress, or a sleek jumpsuit..
Where are the ceremony and the reception taking place ?
The ceremony is taking place at Hotel Monville, while the reception will be at the Montreal Science Center in the Panoramic Hall.
Will transportation be provided from the ceremony to the reception venue ?
Yes, we will provide a shuttle service to help guests move from the ceremony to the reception venue ! You can also optionally choose to walk; the city is exceptionally pedestrian-friendly. If walking, it would take approximately 20 minutes to travel between the two spaces.
What will the weather be like this time of year ?
Late July in Montreal is usually pleasant, with highs between 75-80F. Some years, however, can see heat waves in late July with highs closer to 90F.
While all of our venues have central air, we recommend packing light and comfortable clothing for exploring the city—and checking the forecast prior to your departure !
Will I need to know French to get around the city ?
Although French is the primary language in Quebec, many people in Montreal also speak English. Particularly downtown, you can easily get around town, order at restaurants, and explore attractions entirely in English. Speaking French is certainly appreciated, of course ! But it's not a requirement to experience the city at its best.
