Cabaret Lion d'Or was everything we dreamed and more! The space is so special and unique. It feels both intimate and exclusive while being decadent and grand. But here are a few things that really put it over the top as the perfect wedding venue:
The Space. As a full service venue for concerts, and shows, and many other events besides weddings, the space is essentially ready to go for a great time. Compared to a lot of "blank canvas" venues where you would need to bring in a lot of decor or other elements to set the vibe, Cabaret Lion d'Or is as close to the full package as you can get. The dining hall already has such a rich historic feel, so you can focus on adding your own unique details rather than needing to bring in a ton of decor or other elements to fill the space. And when it's time to dance, having a professional lighting/sound setup is unbeatable.
The Staff. For months leading up to the big day, our main point of contact (Lara) was super responsive and helpful with answering our questions, providing options, and offering advice on how we could best use the space to fulfill our vision. This was especially invaluable because we are not local to Montreal and so had limited opportunities to actually walk through the space. Throughout the whole process, we really felt like the Lion d'Or staff were on our team and really bending over backward to make things work just the way we wanted. This carried through to the night of the event, when all the servers, bartenders, and everyone else were extremely kind an accommodating to our guests. Impeccable hospitality.
The Value. For such a top-tier venue and experience, Cabaret Lion d'Or is very reasonably priced and far better value than many other venues we looked at. And you really get everything you pay for: great food, great service, full use of the space and all its features and amenities. There were no hollow charges or surprise fees. In fact, we were surprised by how much was included when we arrived to tour and walk through and they kept pointing out different things that we could incorporate into the event if we liked. Combined with the fact that you don't need to bring a lot of decor and extras to build out the space (see above), it's a really great value.
10/10 would recommend Cabaret Lion d'Or!!! -

Daniel Sent on 28/05/2026Pure enchantment! A Flawless 1930s Gatsby Celebration brought to life by the most exceptional team you can get
When we were looking for venues for our destination wedding in Montréal, we struck absolute gold when we found Cabaret Lion d'Or. Just from looking at photos and videos, we knew this place possessed immense character and charm. But no image or video does justice to this magical space frozen in time. We had our jaws dropped the very first time we visited it, and we realized that Cabaret Lion d'Or is the perfect place for people who want to steer clear of a conventional wedding celebration.
Beyond being a beautiful and authentic 1930s Art Deco cabaret, it is easily the most efficient venue you could ask for, especially if you're planning a destination wedding. They handle the catering seamlessly, offering multiple delicious reception menus and appetizer alternatives created by the iconic French restaurant Au Petit Extra. They also feature a bar with spectacular cocktails and boast a top-tier sound and lighting system, along with a technical crew that transformed our wedding into a genuine, high-energy club and concert experience.
Our journey truly began when we connected with our adorable Lara Hurni (Event Coordinator). Her brilliant guidance, warm personality, and genuine openness to listening to our dream—and admittedly somewhat complex—"party plan" — made us realize instantly that the Cabaret was the perfect fit. Throughout the planning process, Lara constantly offered the best suggestions and industry contacts, vendors, making our celebration far better than we had originally envisioned. As a cherry on top, we were incredibly lucky that she also acted as our Stage Director on the wedding day itself, ensuring everything ran flawlessly while encouraging us to enjoy our celebration.
Lara and her team—including Guillaume (Technical Director), Zachary (Maitre D), and the entire staff—are remarkable for their kindness, genuine attention, and hospitality. Together, they made an unforgettable celebration possible. Our guests haven't stopped raving about the night, describing it as a wonderful exciting surprise, and the buzz hasn't died down yet!
This place and its people are pure magic. We will be forever grateful to have found this stunning venue and the incredible human beings who worked hard to bring a wedding for the books to life. -

The venue and staff were everything we could have possibly hoped for. So friendly and helpful with every step of the process. The venue itself is stunning without any need for additional decorations.
They worked with us to make any adjustments we requested, and the wedding itself went off without a hitch. We would recommend this venue to any interested in the cabaret vibe. -

Raymond Sent on 06/03/2025The Most Incredible Wedding Experience
When my husband and I found this venue we knew that we were meant to get married here. The cabaret history and the beauty of the space is simply perfect. Our experience was flawless. Laura, our banquet manager treated us so well. She was extremely flexible, and really understood how important this day was to us and made all our off the wall requests happen. The technical team was stellar and turned this beautiful space into a visually appealing dream. Our guests raved about the food and the service as well. Cabaret Lion D'or took our wedding from an idea to a complete experience. -
