Whether your event is personal or professional, the first step is choosing the right setting. Do you prefer greenery rather than concrete? Nothing could be easier: simply head to one of the many golf clubs in and around Montreal that offer halls to rent for your wedding, anniversary, business meeting or corporate evening.
An hour's drive from Montreal brings you to a breathtaking view of Shefford and Brome Mountains, where the Royal Bromont Golf Club offers a banquet hall for 180 people, a smaller space for 50 people and a meeting room for 12 people. Their restaurant, Le Cellier du Roi, is run by Jérôme Ferrer (the chef of Europea restaurant in Montreal), and is a big draw. Carefully designed menus and a variety of flexible packages are available for weddings or corporate events. A professional team will help you review every detail, from food service to decorations and any audio-visual requirements.
On the South Shore, Candiac Golf Club offers a reception hall with space for up to 225 guests and great views of the golf course. For groups of up to 40 guests, you can reserve the restaurant-bar with its flowered terrace. Meals are prepared on-site by the chef and with packages available for weddings, receptions or tournaments. You can combine a business meeting with a round of golf, in which case a barbecue can be set up outdoors, unless you prefer a buffet breakfast or a canteen package instead.
The Club de Golf de l’île de Montréal is located in the east end of the city, beside the Metropolitan Highway. The recently renovated and expanded clubhouse has two rooms that can accommodate 90 and 250 people, while the terrace, which features a retractable roof, has room for up to 120 guests. A beautiful waterfall outside the clubhouse is visible from the terrace and through large windows in both rooms, and provides a scenic backdrop for photographs. The chef offers a variety of gourmet menus that can be tailored to your needs and budget.
This club’s lush green landscapes will make you forget that you are still in Montreal, and provide a perfect setting for your photographs. There are seven rooms and four terraces available and the restaurant can serve banquet-style meals for 30 to 500 people. The chef offers several menu options, including a buffet option consisting of Italian specialties and fresh market cuisine. Audio-visual equipment is available, along with an outstanding choice of decorations: the club has won several awards in this area. Note that for a grand entrance, newlyweds can even arrive by helicopter!
Saint-Raphaël Golf Club offers two rooms, one of which can be separated into two by a movable wall. Their space can welcome between 50 and 300 guests in banquet mode. The reception hall opens onto a large terrace measuring 4,000 square feet, with a glass canopy, perfect for your cocktail. Waterfalls, gardens and pergolas complete the decor, which is ideal for photos. The chef offers many menu choices with diverse inspirations, and the professional, experienced team at the club will work with you every step of the way.
Four rooms are available at the Elm Ridge Golf Club, one of which can be divided into three parts, to host from 60 to 360 people. A wedding ceremony for up to 200 guests can be celebrated outside the clubhouse, and, in the event of rain, quickly transferred to the Cathedral room, which features large windows. For meals, you may either make arrangements with chefs on-site, or choose an outside caterer and pay a fee. A variety of services are available, such as audio-visual equipment, valet service, two upstairs bedrooms, and a pool.
Located in the clubhouse at Golf La Prairie, Espace Rive-Sud specializes in receptions of all kinds, and consultants are on hand to help you plan your wedding or corporate event. The space contains six rooms and three terraces, and can accommodate groups of 40 to 300 people. A private flower garden awaits your wedding photo session. An outdoor floral garden and gazebo were built in 2012 for wedding ceremonies up to 250 guests. The chef at the clubhouse prepares gourmet, French-inspired cuisine. As for decorations, although they are well maintained at all times, they are particularly splendid during the holidays.
