Mike is the best!
Such a sweet and humble person. Our venue was the best part of our day. Such a beautiful space, so intimate and aesthetically pleasing. Mike is just incredible, such a nice guy, and so understanding and accommodating. The memories from Canvas will always be very special to us. Mike’s staff are also the best and such a pleasure to be around. Loved everything about Canvas. We felt like family.
At the end of the night, Mike took our picture and it’s been my phone background ever since!

A day we will always remember
We celebrated our wedding at Canvas Montreal, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, the customer service was outstanding. The staff was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day perfect. Mike (the owner) answered all our questions promptly and provided expert guidance throughout the planning process.
The flexibility was unmatched. Whether it was last-minute changes to the seating arrangements or special dietary requests, everything was handled with ease and professionalism. The willingness to adapt to our needs made the planning process stress-free and enjoyable. The event coordination was flawless. They demonstrated exceptional organizational skills, ensuring every detail was perfectly managed. From the setup to the execution of the event, the expertise was evident. We were able to relax and enjoy our special day, knowing everything was in capable hands.
The food was delicious! We had a great variety to choose from to please our guest. Lots of options for main dishes, hors d’oeuvre, and late-night snacks. The greatest thing is that nothing is mandatory, you pick your own options.
The staff were both professional and friendly. They were attentive to every guest's needs and made everyone feel welcome. The dedication to providing top-notch service was a key factor in making our wedding day so special.
The venue itself is stunning. The elegant decor and beautiful setting with the original brick and mortar with the lighting created a perfect atmosphere for our celebration. The attention to detail in the venue's design added a touch of sophistication and charm that our guests truly appreciated.

Beautiful Vintage Industrial Vibe + The Best Event Team in Montreal = Amazing Wedding Experience!!
Life after our May 20, 2023 wedding got SUPER busy, so this review is a LOT later than I was hoping for, but better late than never! Even though it's late, I hope it helps!
From the moment that my husband and I stepped into Canvas Reception Loft, we knew that it was the perfect venue for our Rockabilly Swing themed wedding!
Mike was very charming, and from our first conversation, we could tell that he takes great pride in the beautiful venue, and even moreso in the incredible staff that work the events held there. And he has every reason to! The staff at Canvas - from Carmen and John in the front of house, to the amazing chefs and servers working tirelessly in the back of house - the whole team worked seamlessly to ensure that our wedding was the most amazing night of our lives!
While communication with Mike was sometimes a bit challenging over the course of planning our wedding, when we did speak with him, he was always warm, polite, and ready to answer our questions and help wherever he could. He was so understanding and flexible when we needed to postpone our wedding due to pandemic restrictions, which we really appreciated. Also, the various planning checklists and spreadsheets that he sent over were very helpful for us when we were sorting out how we wanted to stock our bar. The checklists were so accurate that we didn't have much of anything left to bring home at the end of the night!
Even now, a year later, our guests still talk about how good the food was, how stunning the venue was, and mostly how absolutely amazing all of the staff were. My husband and I, and all of our guests, had the most magical night at Canvas Montreal Reception Loft! Because of that, we definitely recommend this venue!

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.
