Where to book a private room for your Christmas party?

After the Halloween festivities, Christmas preparations are taking over in our preparations for festive moments. With family, friends or the one you love, Christmas is also increasingly celebrated among colleagues. The Christmas period is synonymous with getting together with loved ones and for the lucky ones with school and work breaks; an ideal opportunity to end the year in style with your team.

To celebrate Christmas in a place that is out of the ordinary, Tastet suggests a few addresses where you can book a reception room. We’re going all out for the holidays to make this time of year unforgettable! Forget the long hours of preparing gargantuan dinners and the endless mountain of dishes that go with it, and trust the catering professionals across Montreal.

Depending on your preferences (and your budget), the different addresses on this list offer you a space suitable for a reception but also a special and personalized menu.

Some of the city’s establishments offer you the opportunity to book an exclusive private party to enjoy a beautiful space with only your entourage. Whether you’re a small group or planning a large gathering, the venues on this list will guide you in planning a memorable evening.

For more suggestions of private rooms to book throughout the year for various celebrations, check out our “Where to book a private room in Montreal” list.

Finally, to find locations open during the holiday season, we suggest you take a look at our suggestions for locations open on December 24, 25 and 31 as well as January 1.
