William Gray Hotel

Last reviewed: August 11, 2026. Business status: Active.

Hotel William Gray is an Old Montreal wedding venue at 421 Rue Saint Vincent in Vieux-Montréal. Its official site confirms that the boutique hotel hosts weddings and other events, with more than 10,000 square feet of naturally lit event space. The property combines historic buildings with contemporary design, making it a hotel-based option for couples planning a celebration in the Old Montreal and Old Port setting.

The venue’s wedding offering is presented through its meetings-and-events team. The hotel says its planners can coordinate details including flowers, catering and room blocks, while its spaces can be used for wedding functions such as intimate brunches and rehearsal dinners. Couples should treat this as a starting point for a tailored inquiry: the official pages describe the offering, but do not publish a current wedding price list, date availability or a standard guest-capacity range.

Services and specialization

Hotel William Gray’s confirmed specialization is hosting weddings and events within its Old Montreal hotel. Its official meetings-and-events page describes spaces for private meetings, weddings and larger gatherings, and identifies wedding planners as part of the offering.

For wedding-related planning, the hotel states that its team attends to flowers, catering and room blocks. It also says its culinary menus can include plant-based, gluten-free and organic options. These are hotel-provided event and hospitality services; the published information does not establish that every option is included in every wedding arrangement.

The official site also refers to wedding-adjacent functions, including intimate brunches, rehearsal dinners and other wedding events. Ask the team whether the desired ceremony, reception and ancillary events can be accommodated on the same date and under one agreement.

Wedding spaces and setting

The venue collection includes the Bibliothèque, Jardin, Salle Margaret, Salle Edward, Terrasse William Gray, Maggie Oakes and Perché, among other spaces. The hotel describes its event inventory as ranging from the intimate Bibliothèque to the larger Salle Edward.

Salle Margaret is described as a ballroom with high ceilings, large windows, a balcony and views; the hotel says it can be partitioned. Salle Edward has integrated speakers, an adjacent foyer and windows overlooking the main square, and can be divided into three rooms. Terrasse William Gray is on the eighth floor and is described as having a panoramic city view.

The hotel is housed in the historic Maison Edward-William Gray and Maison Cherrier buildings, which its official site dates to the 18th century. Its meetings-and-events page characterizes the overall setting as a merger of historic architecture and innovative design. These documented features may matter to couples choosing between a formal ballroom, a terrace, a restaurant setting or smaller gathering space.

Service area and who it may suit

This is a fixed-location venue in Vieux-Montréal, Montréal, Quebec. The hotel is near Place Jacques-Cartier and the Old Port, according to its official hotel page. It does not advertise mobile wedding services or a wider service territory on the pages reviewed.

It may suit couples seeking a hotel wedding venue in Old Montreal and those considering related functions in the same property. It may also be relevant where guest accommodation and room-block coordination are part of the plan, since room blocks are specifically mentioned by the wedding team. This is a suitability consideration, not a guarantee of availability or inclusion.

Couples planning elsewhere in the Montréal region should confirm whether they are looking for an on-site event at the hotel rather than off-site service. The published material supports events at Hotel William Gray, not event delivery at another venue.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A confirmed feature is the breadth of the hotel’s documented event-space inventory: it reports over 10,000 square feet of naturally lit event space and both intimate and larger-format rooms. Another confirmed feature is an on-site event-planning route that addresses flowers, catering and room blocks.

The hotel also documents flexible spaces, cuisine options that may include plant-based, gluten-free and organic choices, and venue settings with Old Montreal landmark or city views. These are practical details to explore in a proposal, rather than assurances about a particular room, menu or setup.

Important limitations remain. The official pages reviewed do not publish a current wedding capacity chart, minimum spend, rental terms, ceremony logistics, accessibility details, weather contingency for terrace events, or a list of what is included with a booking. Confirm these items in writing for the selected space and date.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published.

The official meetings-and-events page provides a wedding-package download, but the accessible current HTML content does not state package prices, venue rental fees, food-and-beverage minimums, taxes, service charges or other wedding costs. A direct proposal is needed to establish the total.

When requesting a quote, ask for the selected spaces, event duration, menu and beverage assumptions, staffing, furnishings, ceremony and reception requirements, room-block terms, applicable taxes and fees, deposit schedule, cancellation terms and any terrace-weather alternative. This makes quotes from different venue formats easier to compare.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

Contact and booking

For wedding inquiries, Hotel William Gray lists weddings@hotelwilliamgray.com. Its official meetings-and-events page also provides an online inquiry form and lists sales@hotelwilliamgray.com for meetings and events.

The hotel lists its main telephone number as (514) 656-5600. The official address is 421 Rue Saint Vincent, Vieux-Montréal, QC H2Y 3A6. Use the wedding email or inquiry form to ask about dates, venue options and a tailored proposal; the general phone number can be useful for reaching the hotel directly.

Canada Wedding Guide does not take bookings or confirm availability. Confirm the contracting entity, final scope, payment recipient and all dates directly with Hotel William Gray before paying a deposit.

What couples should confirm

Before selecting Hotel William Gray, request an itemized proposal for the specific venue or combination of venues under consideration. Ask whether the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, dancing, rehearsal dinner and post-wedding brunch can be scheduled as planned, and whether moving between spaces is required.

Confirm the guest count permitted for the exact floor plan and service style, the room’s access times, installation and teardown rules, entertainment and sound requirements, furniture and décor inclusions, menu tasting process, bar format and dietary-accommodation process. For outdoor or terrace plans, obtain the weather alternative and decision timing in writing.

If guest rooms are important, ask about the availability, deadlines, booking method and release terms for any room block. Finally, review taxes, gratuities or service charges, deposit and cancellation provisions, liability or insurance requirements, and the name of the on-site event contact for the wedding day.
