The Playbook.

The legal drinking age in Montréal and all of Québec is 18 years old. This means your entire group can participate — no one gets left at the hotel.

Bars close at 3:00 AM province-wide. After-hours venues push that to 5 AM or later. Montréal has one of the latest nightlife scenes in North America.

We recommend 4-8 weeks for the best availability on housing and premium reservations. Peak season (May-October) books faster. Last-minute trips are possible but your options narrow significantly.

We handle groups from 6 to 60+. Our housing inventory and experience network scales to any group size. Larger groups typically split across 2-3 properties in the same neighborhood.

Every package includes a dedicated host, restaurant reservations, nightlife access, and 24/7 concierge support. Activities, dining tiers, and transportation vary by package. Housing is quoted separately.

Yes. We coordinate airport pickups and drop-offs — black car, SUV, limo, or party bus depending on your group size and preference. Your driver is waiting when you land.

Yes. All US citizens need a valid passport to enter Canada. Enhanced driver's licenses are accepted at land crossings but not for air travel. Make sure everyone in your group checks their passport expiration before booking flights.

Direct flights from New York (JFK/LGA/EWR) to Montréal are about 1 hour 20 minutes. From Boston it's about 1 hour 10 minutes. From Chicago, about 2 hours. Most major East Coast cities have direct flights under 2 hours.

Connected estimates are in USD. Choose your group size and experiences in the package builder for approved service prices. Housing, provisional services and complete weekends require a written concierge quote.

Montréal is consistently ranked one of the safest major cities in North America. The nightlife districts are well-patrolled and walkable. Standard city awareness applies — stick together, don't flash cash, and your host will steer you away from any areas that aren't worth your time.

The Plateau is the most popular for groups — walkable, central, and close to everything. Old Port is great for a more upscale feel with waterfront dining. Downtown puts you near the Bell Centre and Crescent Street nightlife. We match the neighborhood to your group's energy.

May through October for warm weather, terrasses, and outdoor activities. June-September is peak season with festivals (F1 Grand Prix, Jazz Fest, Just for Laughs). December-March is winter season — snowmobiling, ice fishing, skiing, and a completely different but equally impressive city.

Montréal is bilingual. Downtown, Old Port, and the Plateau are heavily English-friendly. Most restaurant and bar staff speak both languages fluently. You won't have any communication issues — and the French adds to the European atmosphere.

Every trip is custom. Weekend packages start at $561.25 USD per person for 12 guests, before taxes and card fee. Housing is quoted separately.

A minimum $500 non-refundable deposit is required to confirm reservations. Payment in full is required prior to arrival. No refund will be issued for cancellations made within 72 hours of the arrival date. We are not responsible for currency fluctuations after invoicing or exchange rate fees charged by your card issuer for international processing.

Tipping culture in Montréal is similar to the US: 15-20% at restaurants, $1-2 per drink at bars, 15-20% for services. Your written quote spells out which tips are already covered so your group isn't doing math at the end of every dinner.

Talk to a host. Every weekend is customizable. If your group has a specific vision — a particular restaurant, a private event, a unique activity — we build it into the itinerary using our full network. The packages are starting points, not limitations.
