Why Quebec for a Château Wedding?
Quebec is Canada’s answer to France when it comes to history and architecture. With cobblestone streets, stone façades, and venues that look like they belong in the Loire Valley, Quebec offers couples a European backdrop without ever leaving the country. Whether you’re drawn to grand hotels in Old Québec or countryside vineyards with stone terraces, there’s no shortage of romance here.
