Go to venue for life, amazing staff and service.

The crew at Canvas are true professionals. Not only were my husband and I incredibly happy with the amazing service, but our guests could not stop telling us how wonderful the venue, staff and service was themselves. As someone who used to work in the industry I cannot recommend them enough. Mike is helpful, attentive, responsive and generally just a great guy. He is an amazing organizer, flexible with time and just genuinely in it to make this the easiest process for everyone. They made our day, we'll never forget it.

Canvas Montreal, un amour de loft!

Nous avons célébré notre mariage le 1er septembre 2018 au Canvas Montreal. Mike et Steven ont été très accessibles, chaleureux et professionnels dès nos premiers contacts. Les services reçus ont largement dépassés nos attentes et ont contribués à faire de notre mariage un événement de rêve. L’endroit est tout simplement parfait, la salle est magnifique. Merci encore à toute l’équipe de Canvas Montreal!!!

Canvas is a beautiful space and their flexibility in terms of bringing in your own bar / catering / rentals / etc. was really important to us. We had some challenges with communication in the early stages with their management team, but eventually their communication greatly improved and overall we had a wonderful experience there.

We had the most amazing wedding!!!!

I cannot say enough about Canvas. Mike and Steve the owners are amazing. They are attentive, helpful and work with you to give you exactly what you want. It's a beautiful and unique space. It held our 120 guests perfectly, it was intimate but not at all cramped. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. Everyone was raving about it!! I will definitely hold another event there, I almost wish I had to plan another wedding with them! Our special day was nothing short of magical.

Pefect venue for our wedding reception

My spouse and I held our wedding reception at Canvas and we could not be any happier with everything from the initial contact with Steven through the event so well managed by Mike. The food was excellent and drew praise from all guests as was the service by management and staff. They also provided suggestions for DJ and for flowers which turned out be excellent as well. Our reception was held with 100 people and this was perfect venue for this size. Being able to bring your own alcohol is also a real benefit as well. Sylvain and I again thank Canvas for making our wedding reception everything we wanted it to be - fun, well served, well fed and providing us with fond memories over the years of our life together!

Best Venue in town

Mike and the team at Canvas could not have been any better at helping our day come to fruition. Mike is beyond wonderful to work with, he is flexible and really works hard to make your visions come true. The space at Canvas is not only unique, it is cozy and intimate, while still staying classy. Our guests could not stop raving about how great the food was as well, which was is probably on everyones list of priorities. Nothing but accolades for this place. Thank you Mike and Canvas for it all!!!
