Canal Street Nuptials
We were lucky enough to book Canal Street Eatery & Market for our wedding on October 19th, 2024. Working with the Canal Street Team to create our event was absolutely incredible – everyone who works here is kind, warm and provided top tier service to us and our guests. Elise, the senior sales manager for catering and events, is an absolute rockstar. She ensured that our day went off without a hitch and worked very closely with us on all of the details that were important to us and our wedding day. She is extremely detail oriented, responsive, and above all else an incredible person. We love Elise!! Aside from the amazing team of people at Canal, the venue itself is absolutely jaw-dropping. Gorgeous high ceilings, perfectly decorated with a funky, yet simplistic design. It is truly the perfect setting for any party – and the pictures speak for themselves! We hardly added any of our own décor aside from our floral pieces and it was all the space needed. By utilizing the main dining space as well as their sister bar only a few steps away, we were able to have a seamless evening filled with delicious food, family and friends. We really cannot recommend Canal Street enough! Seriously, have your wedding here and come back again and again to relive the memories.
Dream after party location
We got married next door at Union Station, and the Canal Street Eatery team made it so easy for our guests pop over after the reception ended. They ensured that beer and wine was waiting, and even with 200 guests arriving at once, there was not a bit of bottlenecking. The food and drinks were INCREDIBLE, and the guests raved about everything. Not one bite was left over and the bartenders and staff kept the energy high. From a planning perspective, Elise and Francesca made it unbelievably easy – they worked within our budget to throw the party we wanted. They helped us manage a live band and source the best location within the space. And they made sure we enjoyed every minute of the party!
