Old Port of Montreal

Last reviewed: August 12, 2026. Business status: Active.

Last reviewed: August 12, 2026. The Old Port of Montreal wedding venue is an official hall-rental offering in Old Montréal. Its English-language rental site confirms that the halls host weddings as well as conferences, meetings and private events, with views of Montréal and the St. Lawrence River.

For couples exploring a central waterfront setting, the official venue information provides practical detail on several halls, wedding packages and a current inquiry route. Availability, the exact room offered and final event terms still need to be confirmed directly with the Old Port team.

Services and specialization

Old Port of Montréal offers hall rentals for weddings, conferences, meetings, private events and parties. The official rental site states that its reception spaces can welcome events of up to 850 guests and that wedding packages are available. It also says its multipurpose spaces can be used for wedding ceremonies and receptions, with indoor layouts and terrasse options.

The published wedding-package description says the hall is reserved exclusively for the event and can be customized. The operator also describes a turnkey option through a partner event-planning agency, covering items such as the hall, décor, catering and staff. The precise scope, supplier choices and cost of any package are not published, so these must be clarified for the specific event.

• Wedding ceremonies and receptions are explicitly listed as suitable uses.
• Published event support includes a dedicated logistics coordinator and an event-day logistics agent.
• Every hall is listed with a sound console, microphone and lectern; some halls have a high-powered projector.

Halls and event formats

The official site presents five event spaces. The largest is the Passerelle-Perspective, a 8,505-square-foot hall with a listed capacity of 850 for cocktails, 500 for banquets and 800 in theatre format. It has wall-to-wall windows, a permanent stage, a private exterior balcony, private washrooms and catering facilities.

The Belvedere is listed at 6,896 square feet, with capacities of 700 cocktail guests, 350 banquet guests and 475 theatre guests. Its published features include two private terrasses, a covered exterior balcony, a rooftop terrasse that is closed during winter, a private loge, private washrooms and accessible entry for guests with reduced mobility.

For a smaller large-format event, the Perspective is listed at 5,040 square feet and up to 450 guests for cocktails or 300 for banquets. The official site also lists the President’s Lounge for up to 80 guests and the IMAX Theatre for up to 380 guests. Final capacity depends on the selected room and setup, so couples should request a layout for their own guest count.

Service area and who it may suit

The halls are at 2 de la Commune O in Montréal, in the Old Port. The official rental site describes the setting as being in the heart of the Old Port of Montréal, with large windows overlooking Montréal and the St. Lawrence River.

This may suit couples seeking a Montréal reception venue with an industrial hall style, water and city views, or room for a ceremony and reception in one booked space. The published capacities range from the smaller President’s Lounge to halls designed for substantially larger gatherings, but an inquiry is necessary to determine which space is appropriate and available.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented features include industrial-style halls, large windows, flexible layouts, audiovisual basics, nearby parking, cleaned rental spaces and event logistics support. The venue also publishes accessible washrooms in all halls and says ramps to terrasses can be installed on request. These are operational features rather than endorsements.

A practical limitation is that the official website does not publish a room-by-room wedding inclusions list, a current calendar, a standard catering policy or a complete list of package terms. The rooftop terrasse at the Belvedere is specifically stated to be closed during winter. Couples should also confirm whether any balcony or terrasse is included with their selected room and event date.

• Nearby parking is available; advance passes, reserved spaces and rentable valet areas are described.
• Cleaning and waste/recycling collection are published services.
• Accessibility arrangements and outdoor-space access should be confirmed for the chosen hall.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The official website describes wedding and turnkey packages but does not state rental rates, minimum spends, taxes, deposits or package prices.

Request a written proposal that identifies the selected hall, rental period, staffing, logistics support, audiovisual equipment, cleaning, parking, catering arrangements, décor support, applicable electrical fees and taxes. If using a terrasse, balcony or rooftop area matters to the plan, ask whether access is included and how weather or seasonal restrictions are handled.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

Contact and booking

The official hall-rental website lists 514-817-9287 for Viva Gélinas and 438-466-1040 for Marc-Antoine Thibeault. It also lists evenements@vieuxportdemontreal.com and an information-request form that asks for contact details, estimated participant count, event type and first and second date choices.

The inquiry form lets clients identify interest in the Belvedere, Passerelle-Perspective, President’s Lounge, IMAX TELUS Theatre or a recommendation. Share the ceremony and reception plan, guest count, desired layout, preferred dates and accessibility requirements when contacting the team. Treat an inquiry as a request for information; booking is confirmed only when the operator provides written availability and terms.

What couples should confirm

Ask the Old Port rental team which hall is available for the date and whether it can accommodate both the ceremony and reception as planned. Capacity figures are format-specific, so request a proposed floor plan that accounts for dining, dancing, a stage, catering service and any lounge or décor areas.

Confirm all commercial and practical terms in writing before booking. This includes the package scope, permitted caterers and vendors, alcohol service, furniture and décor, setup and teardown windows, parking, security, insurance, deposits, cancellation terms, taxes and all applicable fees. Couples considering an outdoor component should confirm the exact space, seasonal availability and weather contingency.

• Exact room, event date, rental hours and exclusive-use scope
• Banquet capacity for the planned floor plan
• Package inclusions, catering arrangements and external-vendor requirements
• Terrasse or balcony access, accessibility route and weather plan
• All charges, deposit schedule, insurance requirements and cancellation terms
