Magnificent space, the energy is beyond divine. Johanne and the administrative team were very helpful, supportive and flexible. She supported us through every step of the event and we are very grateful for that. The space is well maintained and it exceeded our expectations, would highly recommend it. Thanks Johanne!

Johanne was really helpful. Our choir concert was a huge success, and the beautiful venue was one of the reasons! Such a great central location, and amazing acoustics.

FAQ

A laptop is needed to connect to the projector. The equipment must be set up and tested ahead of the event.

The pews are very heavy to move, so the space may not be suitable for activities requiring a large open floor area.
