Le Moulin de Saint-Laurent

At Le Moulin de Saint-Laurent, a wedding reception unfolds inside an old flour mill, with a waterfall tumbling beside the patio.

This family business on Île d'Orléans occupies a mill whose story goes back to the early 1700s. Today it is a restaurant serving regional cuisine built on local products, about 20 minutes from Old Québec.

Couples can host their reception in a private parlour for up to 30 guests, or on the mezzanine with its adjoining terrace for groups of 40 or more. The patio at the foot of the waterfall is a lovely spot for cocktails.

Menus are created to suit each couple's taste and budget, and the kitchen also offers catering for groups.

Guests can stay close by in the Moulin's riverfront houses, fully equipped homes that sleep between 2 and 10 people and are open all year.

For couples who picture a meal under old beams and a toast to the sound of falling water, Le Moulin de Saint-Laurent offers a warm island wedding with real history in its walls.
