We had a mixed experience working with this company to plan our wedding at their Salon Richmond,…read moreand felt it was important to share. On the positive side, the space is stunning and the food was excellent - both were highlights for us. However, our experience on the planning side raised several concerns. Communication and expectations were unclear from the outset. We initially believed we would be working with one team member, but later learned that a different person would be managing our wedding, which was not clearly communicated and created confusion early on. Throughout the process, we found the planner's approach to be rigid and not particularly collaborative. We were open to guidance, but often felt that our preferences were dismissed in favor of doing things a specific way. During our tasting, for example, some of our menu selections (chosen directly from the venue's own offerings) were criticized as not being "classy" or "elegant," which felt inappropriate and unnecessarily condescending. There were also multiple instances that felt unprofessional, including meetings starting late and recurring interruptions during scheduled time together. We also encountered a significant issue regarding payment transparency for a vendor booked through the venue. A deposit we paid was invoiced as a payment toward the band, but was not fully applied as such, and this was not disclosed at the time of payment. The matter was only resolved after escalation. While it is clear that the team is capable of executing events, our experience did not reflect the level of professionalism, transparency, or care that is essential when planning a wedding. A wedding is not just another event, and the planning process requires a level of respect, communication, and client focus that we did not consistently experience here. Due to these concerns, we ultimately chose to move forward with a different venue, as we did not feel confident continuing with the planning process. Based on our experience, we would not recommend this venue for weddings. Couples should proceed with caution and ensure they have a clear, documented understanding of vendor payments, responsibilities, and expectations before committing!

The purpose of this review is by all means to rave about Clandestino. Very chill vibe, the space is small, tiny bar counter and some sofas, where if you are lucky you can sit with a big group of friends and enjoy some drinks. Since Clandestino seems to serve as an overflow bar for Boho sometimes there are to many people just coming in and standing in the tiny opened space next to the bar. Be determined and jump on the first available seat if you'd like to hang in there longer. Clandestino has a ginourmous list of mescals and tequilas. We did rely on the recommendation of the bar tender for the first round and fortunately we kept the receipt so we know what were the amazing smoky mescals we ended up trying. The cocktail list is so attractive that no doubt we had to try the mixes, tequila end mescal can be substituted upon request, but in general I like to stick to the original liquor choice of the mixologist. Don Solares and El Matador were perfect choices, where the El Matador certainly wins the competition. All the drinks are served in a fancy way, the tequilas and mescals are accompanied by fruits that will enhance the flavors. I loved the choice of music and the lights, very cozy space that could be also perfect for a more intimate encounter.

"The drummers and jugglers in Montreal Don't even exist at…read moreall" (Rufus Wainwright) One of Nelligan's greatest attributes is its location. This grand hotel is squarely located between the Old Port and Old Montreal neighborhoods, so you literally have hundreds of cool places to visit or dine at within minutes. The Nelligan is an old hotel in an old city, so if you're expecting something like a Marriott in a suburban location, you'll be greatly disappointed. In the mid 1800's, the current Nelligan hotel was once four separate historic buildings that over the years contained a warehouse, grocery store, paper company and pharmaceutical store. In 2002, these various structures were rebuilt, refined, updated, and joined together to launch the new Hotel Nelligan. Walking around the hotel and trying to find your room number can be adventurous because we encountered numerous small staircases in the corridors. To go from our room to the elevator, we had to go up one small staircase, make a few lefts and rights in a hallway, and then down a second small staircase to the hallway with the elevators. And since I mentioned the subject of room numbers, that turned out to be a real thorny issue, because on check-in day, the signs directing us to room 323 brought us nowhere near room 323. The signs were wrong. We found a chambermaid who told us "the signs are wrong" and escorted us on a long circuitous walk to our room. The next day printed "corrections" to the room number signs had been tacked up. Another issue we encountered (although it sure wasn't the hotel's fault) was the construction on St. Paul West that effectively closed the street and vehicle access to the hotel. The street was totally torn up from curb to curb by heavy equipment and there were plywood walls defining the very narrow sidewalks up and down lower St. Paul West including the hotel entrances. There were also plywood sheets atop the torn-up sidewalks. Walking down the narrow sidewalk with suitcases was nearly impossible. When we drove up to check in, of course the street was closed, but there are some very helpful valets who have cones and markers set up on the corner of St. Paul and St. Sulpice. They were fantastic and let us park there while we walked to the hotel with our luggage and checked in with the front desk and the hotel valet station. Truth is, every hotel employee we interacted with was FIVE STAR FANTASTIC to deal with. Our room was pretty big with a cool stone wall. The satellite reception and WIFI worked well, the bed was comfy, and the big bathroom was great, with a huge rainfall shower and good pressure and temperature. So, as long as you can anticipate the traffic and access problems, and take everything else with a grain of salt, you can really enjoy your stay here at a very cool old-school hotel..
