Years ago I planned an event for a special man who had access to one of the most breathtaking venues in this city to host an event. \u00a0We planned several incredible events there \u00a0and everytime, people\u2019s jaws would drop as they entered the space. It was unlike any place I had ever seen\u2026.especially not in this city. I can\u2019t tell you where it was but all you need to know is that it is not rentable at the moment…unfortunately. It was literally THE most spectacular event space and I was truly hoping to use it as my wedding venue.<\/p>\n

The St-James Theatre, in my opinion, is going to revolutionize the Montreal wedding scene. No other venue in this city carries the prestige, glamour, history and beauty that this place has. No other venue is also run by such a kind, flexible and genuine person like Lee Haberkorn. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0\u00a0I knew, from the first time I saw a photo of the St-James Theatre, that I wanted to spend my special day in this extremely special building.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s face it \u2013 there is no venue in this city that is PERFECT\u2026there are pros and cons to all of them and the St-James Theatre is certainly not exempt from this. It was built over 100 years ago and with that comes about 100 little intricacies to consider.\u00a0But how stunning is it????????<\/p>\n Back in November, I was lucky enough to be selected by a wonderful couple to plan their wedding there. I\u2019ll be honest \u2013 having never worked there,\u00a0 I was a little nervous (and I\u2019m never<\/em> nervous when it comes to events!) but I found out everything we needed to know about the space and developed a detailed logistical plan to make sure everything went perfectly smooth\u2026.and it did\u2026.The wedding was awesome and the guests were in complete awe.<\/p>\n All this to say, I couldn\u2019t be happier to be planning my dream wedding in this venue. \u00a0There is no other building like it\u2026unless maybe you\u2019re in Italy that is.<\/p>\n Having planned events in this city for 10 years now, I have worked in sooooo many different spaces and truly believe the venue must match the couple or company hosting the party.<\/p>\n Here are some of my favs:<\/p>\n TENT VENUES<\/strong>:\u00a0 Looooove tents (especially the clear tops from Fiesta Tents)!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>THE WINDSOR:<\/strong> \u00a0Such a classic and ooh so elegant!<\/p>\n THE SCIENCE CENTER<\/strong>: A modern space that is truly \u2018Montreal\u2019<\/p>\n PARISIAN LAUNDRY<\/strong>: A very unique space with a real New York Gallery Vibe<\/p>\n ENTREPOTS DOMINION:<\/strong> \u00a0Urban setting with an intimate & cozy feel<\/p>\n![\"DSC_2045\"](\"http:\/\/www.blancevents.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSC_2045.jpg\")
