Manoir Montpellier

At Manoir Montpellier, a wedding weekend means having an entire lakeside manor to yourselves, with Lake Viceroy shining just beyond the lawn.

This private estate sits in the Outaouais countryside between Ottawa and Montreal. During a wedding, no other group is on site, so couples and their guests enjoy every space in complete privacy.

Ceremonies can take place outdoors in the garden for up to 150 guests or in a rustic barn setting. Receptions move to the two-storey grand hall, where up to 150 guests sit for dinner beneath a sweeping chandelier.

Wedding packages cover a two-night stay with exclusive use of the manor, a four-course dinner with service staff, setup with the manor's wedding inventory, a menu tasting and two ceremony decor options. Couples bring their own wine and bottles, and a professional bartender serves them.

The manor's 25 rooms sleep up to 100 guests. Three two-storey suites have king beds and fireplaces, and every room has a balcony and fine linens.

Between toasts, guests can unwind in the Nordic spa, paddle a kayak from the private beach, relax in the lounge bar or gather in the games room.

For couples who picture a weekend by the water with everyone they love under one roof, Manoir Montpellier offers a wedding that feels like a private lakeside retreat.
