Le Café de l'Horloge

Le Café de l'Horloge feels like one of those wedding places couples discover and immediately wonder how they had never heard about it before.

Set inside Rigaud's former post office, the historic building combines fifteen-foot ceilings, a majestic stained-glass entrance and abundant natural light with a private waterfront garden outside.

Indoor wedding dinners can accommodate approximately 60 guests, while cocktail-style gatherings reach around 80.

The garden can welcome approximately 85 guests and creates one of the venue's loveliest possibilities: an outdoor ceremony surrounded by greenery beside the water.

Couples can move naturally from garden vows into cocktails and then gather indoors as the reception becomes more intimate.

A fireplace and the building's heritage character give the interior warmth, while the high ceilings and light-filled room keep the space from feeling small.

The venue can be rented by the hour or for the full day, and couples have flexibility around catering, choosing either their own provider or the venue's services.

Tables, chairs, linens and event equipment can also be incorporated into the celebration.

For couples who want an intimate wedding somewhere with history, water, gardens and enough personality that very little needs to be manufactured, Le Café de l'Horloge offers a wonderfully romantic little world between Montréal and Ottawa.
