Bain Mathieu — Montréal, QC

350 guests standing · Main and Gallery rooms · Ontario Est, Montréal, QC

Bain Mathieu is a two-room private event venue at 2915 Ontario Est in Montréal, confirmed directly by its events team as a fit for a 350-guest standing cocktail reception. Planners choose between the Main room and the Gallery, bring in a caterer of their own choosing — the venue runs an open-caterer policy alongside a caterer it has worked with for several years — and scope an in-house projection system by the number of projection surfaces the event needs. The venue holds a date under the enquirer’s name while research is completed, and is run day to day by an in-house director of events, artistic direction and production, so staging, performance and technical scoping are handled on site rather than left entirely to the client. It suits standing receptions, ticketed public events, launches and production-led private functions. Check availability or request a quote for Bain Mathieu on VenueKonnex.

Pricing & Booking Terms

Bain Mathieu did not quote a rate for this enquiry, so no figure is published here. For a venue of this shape, cost is driven by the room chosen, the guest count, the total hours booked including setup and teardown, the caterer and food-and-beverage programme selected, the number of projection surfaces and the wider technical package, and whether performers or entertainment are involved. Catering is quoted separately by the caterer once event details are supplied. Request a quote through VenueKonnex and both the venue and its catering partner will price the specific format you need.

Best For

• Standing cocktail receptions at scale, up to the 350 the venue has confirmed
• Ticketed public events with door sales
• Product launches and brand events using projection across the room

• Planners who want to bring their own caterer rather than take a house package

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guests does Bain Mathieu hold?
The venue confirmed it is a fit for a 350-guest standing cocktail reception. It did not state a separate room maximum, so 350 standing is the figure it has affirmed rather than a stated ceiling.

Can we bring our own caterer?
Yes. The venue runs an open-caterer policy and states you are free to work with any caterer of your choice. It also works with a long-standing partner caterer, Nouveau Standard, if you would rather use the in-house relationship.

What rooms are available?
Two — the Main room and the Gallery. The room is selected on the venue’s booking form.

Is there a projection system?
Yes. Projection is an in-house capability and is scoped at booking by the number of projections the event requires, alongside the rest of your technical requirements.

Can the venue hold our date while we decide?
Yes. The venue has placed a hold under an enquirer’s name while research was completed, without requiring a deposit at that stage.

Can we sell tickets at the door?
Yes. Door ticket sales are an option the venue asks about on its booking form, so ticketed public events are accommodated.

What does it cost to rent?
No rate was quoted for this enquiry. Cost depends on the room, guest count, total hours including setup and teardown, catering, projection and technical scope, and any entertainment. Request a quote through VenueKonnex for figures matched to your event.
