Sucrerie de la Montagne

Some wedding venues try to recreate old Québec charm.

Sucrerie de la Montagne has been living it for decades.

Set on Mont Rigaud, the year-round sugar shack is recognized as a Québec heritage site and surrounds weddings with maple forest, log buildings, stone fireplaces and the atmosphere of a traditional cabane à sucre.

Couples can hold their ceremony right on the property before gathering for a reception in one of several rustic halls. The largest can welcome approximately 350 guests, while smaller rooms create a warmer setting for more intimate celebrations.

It is easy to imagine the day here.

Guests arrive through the countryside.

The ceremony happens among the trees.

Then everyone gathers outside with drinks while the newlyweds disappear into the maple forest for photographs.

Later, the celebration moves indoors.

Stone fireplaces glow.

Dinner begins.

Music starts.

And a place built around Québec traditions becomes the setting for a new family tradition of its own.

There is even overnight accommodation in traditional log cabins, allowing some guests to stay after the celebration ends.

For couples who want their wedding to feel unmistakably Québécois, warm and full of character, Sucrerie de la Montagne offers something that would be almost impossible to recreate anywhere else.
