Manoir Lac-Etchemin

At the Manoir Lac-Etchemin, a wedding comes with an open view of the lake and, when the weather allows, a celebration right at the water's edge.

The hotel stands on the shore of Lac Etchemin in the Chaudière-Appalaches region. The property dates back to 1949 and became a hotel with guest rooms in 1970, with several renovations since.

The ballroom welcomes up to 300 guests for every style of wedding, and the lake is close at hand for an outdoor ceremony or cocktail on a fine day.

When couples use the hotel's catering, the room rental is included. They can build a menu with the chef or choose from the banquet menu, then taste the dishes at a tasting evening before deciding.

Guests can stay in rooms with lake views, gather around the heated pool and terrace bar in summer, or relax in the four season spa overlooking the water.

The lake itself is about 5 km long and popular for boating, canoeing, sailing and kitesurfing, with direct water access from the property.

For couples who picture a lakeside weekend with everyone staying under one roof, the Manoir Lac-Etchemin offers a relaxed wedding by the water.
