A hip Grumman 78 Montreal Wedding | Alex and Manuel

Once most known for their lime green taco truck, the Montreal Quebec, St Henri restaurant Grumman 78 is now a local institution famous for incredible Mexican fusion dishes that hit the right spot every time. It’s also the perfect spot for great off-the-wall weddings too. Couple take note - and add Grumman 78 to your list of must-see wedding venues.

Wild decor fills the converted garage into something feeling more like an urban ranch, with a million low slung lights dangling from the ceiling, a dozen tables of all different shapes and sizes spread throughout the interior, and fantastic staff always working to create tasty surprises for guests to snack on. Think haute cuisine with the simplicity of Southern barbecue. You can feel that this is a special place, especially on a summer night. It's impossible not to be impressed by it all. 

The fried chicken, duck chilaquiles, the food was superbly executed, and the service was (and has always been) top-notch, with one of the most delightful restaurant crew's in the city. Needless to say, if you are planning a wedding and on the fence about committing to Grumman, the answer is simple, go for it (and please bring me with you).  

There is always more than enough food to share with all your guests, and a perfect place to go on a first date. It’s an amazing venue, which you already know by now :) But again they can easily handle any reception or event. The restaurant should not be passed up if given the chance.

With that being said, Alex and Manuel... after a few hours into the event can be seen mingling and dancing with guests all throughout the reception - all of whom travelled hours and hours be there, excitedly moved over to a long and narrow courtyard to witness the wedding ceremony just moments after dusk. Imagine this ~ the summer sun had already long set, the only lights outside were tiny orange-glowing patio bulbs just bright enough to light up a conversation. 

Enter event planner Elyna Kudish, guaranteed to make the wedding reception experience unforgettable, hand-designed a massive wall of wild foliage, palm leaves, and other fantastic green things, which were now cross lit by neon spotlights as the backdrop to Alex and Manuel's wedding ceremony. It was dramatic in all the right ways, and such a pleasure to witness the excitement in the courtyard during those moments.

Everywhere you went and looked that evening the vibe was buzzing, largely thanks to the excellent staff at the bar and mixing of Dj Zo, and basically, the party was off the hook. These images are only a tiny preview of what's on the way from this next level Grumman 78 Montreal wedding collection.
