How to choose the perfect inn to rent in Quebec — a dream inn for your weddings and events

Are you and your loved one finally ready to say "I do" in front of your friends and family? Congratulations! After the excitement of the positive response and the joy of announcing the good news to your loved ones, a host of questions rush through your head: in which season will you get married? In what type of setting? Have you already dealt with an inn-type establishment for rent, and if so, would you like to be married in this type of place? We highly recommend that you look for an inn to rent for a wedding in order to unite with the person dear to your heart in an enchanting setting. Here is what we recommend you keep in mind in order to choose the perfect inn to rent in Quebec.

The geographical location

The first step in your thought process should naturally focus on choosing the location of the hotel or inn to rent in which you are going to get married. Your decision in this matter will naturally depend on your place of residence, your personal preferences, the convenience for your guests as well as the availability of the various establishments that you will consider. The Capitale-Nationale region is known for its beauty, its many tourist attractions and the richness of its heritage. If you and the majority of your guests live in the province, it may be relevant to look for an inn to rent in Quebec in order to take advantage of everything that this city and its surroundings have to offer. Again, you have a choice to make: you can decide to get married in Quebec City itself or move a little away from the city in order to enjoy a setting that better meets your expectations. Naturally, this choice will have an influence on the accessibility of your inn to rent in Quebec for you and your guests.

An enchanting aura 30 minutes from Quebec City

As an example, our establishment is located about thirty minutes from Old Quebec, which implies a certain logistics for yourself and for your guests, but in return, you will benefit from the enchanting aura (we will come back to this point shortly) that only an inn to rent for a wedding like Le Clos des Brumes can provide. Once you and your partner have decided in which area you wish to get married, you will be ready to consider the following elements.

The number of guests and the accommodations available

If you are looking for the perfect inn to rent for a wedding, it is reasonable to assume that you want a place that is both accessible and friendly, and run by professional and warm people. However, your degree of satisfaction with each of these criteria will be strongly influenced by an important factor: the number of guests. Some people think big and want to get married surrounded by almost all members of their family, friends and acquaintances, and that is their choice. For this type of bride and groom, a large reception hall in an urban environment or a hotel establishment that can accommodate more than a hundred people is essential. It is therefore quite possible that these people will have to sacrifice a little conviviality and human warmth in order to obtain the accessibility and logistical efficiency required to accommodate their guests. Others conceive their wedding ceremony as an intimate affair to be accomplished in front of a handful of hand-picked people, and this in a familiar or at least non-commercial setting. As a general rule, an inn to rent in Quebec is much more conducive to this second type of wedding.

An ideal inn for intimate moments

For example, the inn to rent Le Clos des Brumes can accommodate up to 20 people for the night in its space of 3,875 sq. ft. (360 m²), and receive up to 50 people on the vast grounds of this inn to rent during a reception or a wedding. It is also possible to rent a tent to shelter the people invited to the event. Le Clos des Brumes has 3 Queen beds, 6 single beds and 4 extra beds, as well as all the necessary accommodations for a group of the indicated size to feel at home: 6 bathrooms with bath-showers and fully equipped with conventional products and appliances, 2 kitchens, 2 dining rooms, a dishwasher, wireless Internet and cable, enough parking for a large group, etc. There is nothing worse than leaving home for a few days and seeing your stay spoiled by an insignificant oversight like a hair dryer. You now know in which area of the country you are getting married and in front of how many people. What other elements should you consider in order to refine your choice?

The aura of the place

It goes without saying that you plan to get married only once in your life and that you therefore want this moment to be as magical as possible. The aura of the place you choose for your celebration is therefore a subjective but essential criterion that you must imperatively keep in mind during your visit to an inn to rent in Quebec. Do not just examine the cleanliness of the premises or the presence of various equipment and accommodations (although these points are also important!), take the time to soak up the atmosphere of the inn to rent for your wedding. Is it really in this type of establishment that you want to get married? In this setting, in this atmosphere? You must like the way the inn to rent that you are visiting makes you feel in order not to regret your choice on the big day, or even years later.

Naturally, the number of people you plan to receive will have an impact on your options. The longer your guest list, the less flexibility you will have on the type of hotel or inn to rent: you will necessarily have to deal with establishments that have reception rooms large enough to accommodate one or several hundred people, which are generally located in the city.

An intimate atmosphere in the heart of Quebec

If you are on the contrary more flexible on the number of guests and that it is quite restricted (about fifty people for the reception during the day and up to 20 people for the night), you will have the choice of opting for a smaller, intimate chalet to rent in Quebec and close to nature. This is exactly what our inn to rent for weddings and other festive events offers you. Located just thirty minutes from Old Quebec, in Château-Richer, this inn to rent is anything but an impersonal establishment with a commercial look. It is an authentic ancestral house of nearly 300 years entirely renovated and equipped to accommodate groups of friends or couples looking for an inn to rent for their wedding in order to receive their loved ones.

In addition to being located in an enchanting historical region, this inn to rent in Quebec offers you a breathtaking view of the St. Lawrence River and exudes a soothing aura ideal for an intimate wedding ceremony followed by a few days of relaxation and rest with the people who are dear to you.

The activities available

Another question you should ask yourself concerns the duration of your wedding. In other words, do you plan to receive your guests for an afternoon or an evening, or for a few days and nights? Again, the second formula is only possible if and only if you opt for a ceremony in small committee. In this case, you should ensure that the inn to rent for your wedding is not only well furnished and pleasant, but also that it is located near activities or attractions that you and your group can enjoy. Who knows, you could even kill two birds with one stone and spend your honeymoon at the inn to rent for the wedding! Also make sure that these attractions are available or relevant during the season in which your wedding will take place. The memories you make on this occasion will contribute to the beauty and magic of the experience.

An inn close to many attractions

If you are looking for a place where you can spend a few days without getting bored, Le Clos des Brumes is definitely an option you should consider. In addition to the site of this superb inn to rent for weddings, you will also have access to the most famous attractions of the historic region of the Côte-de-Beaupré, such as the Boutique & Musée Albert Gilles, the Côte-de-Beaupré interpretation center and the Le Massif and Mont Saint-Anne ski centers, among others, if you opt for a winter wedding.

Competitive prices

You are probably aware that weddings are becoming increasingly expensive, and the choice of venue plays a significant role. In fact, the average wedding cost was already around $35,000 in 2016, and almost half of this amount was allocated to renting the venue. This amount excludes the honeymoon, which can very well take place in an inn for rent in Quebec, as we mentioned above. With these figures in mind, renting an inn for a wedding versus a standard reception hall makes perfect sense, as it will allow you to save on other peripheral costs that quickly snowball: luxury vehicle transportation, decoration, catering services (which are increased as soon as you mention it's a wedding), etc. Renting an inn therefore gives you the opportunity to have a wedding on a human scale and not confuse expense with substance.

An unforgettable ceremony in an ancestral home

For example, if the person who is to marry you is among your guests, you can perfectly say "I do" and hold your reception in the same place. Le Clos des Brumes also has a most majestic period entrance hall, with stone walls and exposed beams that look great in wedding photos. You can easily host a large group for an outdoor meal in the courtyard of the inn or in one of the two dining rooms.

We live in an era where the pressure to conform to certain social norms sometimes makes us lose sight of what is essential: if getting married is an increasingly expensive and stressful experience, it is because too many couples get caught up in the spiral of what they think they should do rather than sincerely asking themselves what they want. How many people do you really want by your side on your wedding day? Is a standard reception hall really the place where you have always dreamed of saying "I do", or would you be more comfortable in an inn for rent? Le Clos des Brumes is the perfect inn to rent in Quebec for those who wish to unite their destinies in an enchanting setting, surrounded by the people who will truly give meaning to this experience.

Make Clos des Brumes your inn to rent for an unforgettable wedding. Once you have chosen your date, check our availability and make an appointment to visit this exceptional inn for rent in Quebec.
