Wedding spaces and capacity context

The official venue chart lists 12 event rooms and 15,081 square feet of total event space. It identifies the Oval Room as the largest space, with capacity for up to 240 for a banquet and 350 for a reception. The hotel separately says the Oval Room can accommodate up to 300 guests for dinner with round tables of 10, so couples should ask which layout, staging, dance floor and service plan applies to their proposed guest count.

For outdoor ceremonies, the hotel describes the Terrace of the Oval Room as connected to the Oval Room and private gardens. It lists a ceremony capacity of 100 guests on the terrace, or 85 guests for a ceremony with a huppah, and notes that the terrace must be rented with the Oval Room. Other published options include the combined Gold and Grey Rooms, the Blue Room, and the Ritz and Carlton Rooms for more intimate occasions.

• Oval Room: up to 240 banquet or 350 reception, per the official capacity chart
• Terrace of the Oval Room: up to 100 ceremony guests; up to 85 with a huppah
• Gold and Grey Rooms together: listed for up to 224 banquet or 320 reception
• Ritz Room: listed for up to 35 banquet or 60 reception

Service area and who it may suit

The hotel is located at 1228 Sherbrooke St. West in Montreal, Quebec, in the downtown area. It may suit couples who want their ceremony, reception, catering and guest accommodation connected to one central hotel property. The official site also lists dining, a spa, fitness centre and indoor pool among the property amenities, which may be relevant when planning a wedding weekend or accommodating out-of-town guests.

The setting may be relevant for couples looking for a formal hotel reception, a terrace-and-garden ceremony option, or kosher foodservice within the venue. The property describes both grand and intimate events, but it does not publish a universal minimum guest count. Suitability will depend on the room selected, date, layout and the overall event plan.

• Downtown Montreal hotel location
• Accommodation available at the same property
• Options for intimate events and larger receptions
• Kosher service option documented by the venue

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the range of venue formats within one hotel: formal rooms, a terrace and garden connection, catering, planning support and accommodation can be considered together. The Oval Room’s published capacities and the availability of smaller spaces give couples concrete starting points for a site visit. The hotel also confirms dedicated wedding advisors and a kosher kitchen, which may be important for particular ceremony traditions or service requirements.

Practical limitations are chiefly matters the official information does not settle for an individual wedding. Published capacities vary by layout, and the terrace is tied to an Oval Room booking. The website does not provide a current itemized wedding price list, sample package cost, date-specific availability, outside-vendor policy or a complete weather-contingency plan for outdoor ceremonies. Confirm these details before committing.

• Confirm capacity for the exact seating, dance floor and ceremony layout
• Confirm terrace access, weather backup and rental conditions
• Confirm external-vendor, décor and entertainment policies
• Confirm guest-room blocks and accessibility needs for attendees

Pricing

Current wedding pricing is not explicitly published. The hotel describes curated wedding packages and states that its wedding specialists prepare an estimate of charges and deposit schedule, but it does not publish package starting prices, food-and-beverage minimums, room-rental fees or mandatory service charges on the official wedding page.

Request a written proposal that separates room rental, catering and bar service, ceremony setup, equipment, floral work, staffing, taxes, gratuities, parking and any outdoor or kosher-service requirements. This makes comparison with other Montreal wedding venues more practical.

• No current wedding package price is published on the official page
• Ask for date-specific minimums and deposit milestones
• Ask which furnishings, tableware, dance floor and audiovisual items are included

For wedding enquiries, start with The Ritz-Carlton, Montreal’s official Weddings page or contact the hotel at +1 514-842-4212. The official site advises couples to have an approximate guest count and preferred date ready, and to consider alternate dates if their first choice is unavailable.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, confirm which room is reserved for each part of the day, including the ceremony, cocktail period, reception and any rain backup. Ask for a written capacity plan using the actual table configuration and dance floor, particularly if considering the Oval Room or terrace.

Also confirm menu choices and dietary requirements, the scope of kosher services, the assigned planner’s role, setup and teardown timing, audiovisual support, floral arrangements, parking, room-block terms, deposits, cancellation terms and all taxes and fees. If a cultural, religious or accessibility requirement is central to the day, include it in the initial enquiry so the hotel can confirm what it can provide.

• Exact room, layout and capacity
• Outdoor backup plan and terrace conditions
• Menu, kosher service and dietary requirements
• Deposit, cancellation and final-payment terms
• Hotel rooms, parking and guest accessibility
