Michael & Julie’s Wedding Day: Small, Simple, and Full of Heart

Michael and Julie chose to keep things simple, opting for a small, intimate wedding in the The Canal room, surrounded by their closest family and friends. And honestly? It was magic.

They exchanged vows with the peaceful Lachine Canal as their backdrop, followed by a cozy dinner reception filled with heartfelt toasts, laughter, and incredible food. It was the kind of wedding where every detail felt intentional, and every moment felt truly shared.

Why Intimate Weddings Like This Are So Popular Right Now

Over the last couple of years, we’ve seen more and more couples choosing quality over quantity. Smaller weddings like Michael and Julie’s offer:

  • More meaningful time with each guest

  • More flexibility in customizing the experience

  • Less stress, more connection with your guests and not changing after a strict timeline.

  • And yes — more room in the budget for the things that truly matter (like a top-notch meal or stunning photography)
