Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec

Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec gives a wedding the extraordinary feeling of stepping into a work of art and making the evening entirely your own.

Set on the Plains of Abraham, the Pierre Lassonde Pavilion brings bold contemporary architecture, light-filled spaces and views across Québec City into the celebration.

There are two very different ways to shape the day.

The West, South and North spaces can carry up to around 100 guests from ceremony to cocktails to banquet, with views toward the Laurentians, the city, the Plains and the St. Lawrence River.

For a larger celebration, the Grand Hall can welcome up to around 200 guests when the ceremony is held at the museum, or up to around 250 when it takes place elsewhere.

Then there is the art.

It surrounds the photographs.

It changes the way the rooms feel.

And it gives the wedding a sense of place no traditional ballroom could imitate.

By evening, the museum has closed to the public.

The spaces become yours.

Dinner becomes speeches.

The architecture begins to glow.

And somewhere between art, city views and a room full of people, the museum becomes part of a brand-new story.

For couples who want their Québec City wedding to feel modern, cultural and unforgettable, the MNBAQ offers a setting that is already extraordinary before the first guest arrives.
