A producer, an agency and an event planner aren’t looking for the same thing. Here’s exactly what the loft offers each of them.
Natural light, 11-ft ceilings, flexible backdrops and open space for video, photography and branded content.
Launches, after-work mixers, birthdays, dinners: up to 50 seated guests or 70 cocktail-style.
Pop-up shop, workshop, training, tasting: a central, light-filled venue that draws people in.
Podcasts, social clips, family sessions and portraits: a polished set, ready to shoot in minutes.
Pros filter fast: here are the numbers, right on the home page.
Edison bulbs, weathered brick and warm wood: an atmosphere that reads instantly on camera. Here, the set is already working for you before the first take.
Real photos of the space and what gets created in it. Hover to explore.
Fashion shows, private parties, workshops: a venue’s energy comes through best on video. Here’s the space in full action — sound & light included.
Launch “early-access” rates, below Montreal market prices during the renovation phase. The market range is shown to put the real value of the space in context.
Private evening event (5 h+): on quote, starting around $900 · Weekend and peak-season surcharge · Lower rates for recurring bookings (agencies, productions). Indicative Montreal market ranges — to be confirmed based on the chosen setup.
June to August = peak Montreal festival season. Demand for shoot and event spaces climbs: it’s the time to price higher, not to discount.
Francos de Montréal, MURAL, the start of the summer season. Lots of branded-content shoots before summer hits.
Tip: full rate on weekdays, +15% on weekends. Ideal for launching the early-access offer and building first reviews.
Jazz Festival, Just for Laughs, Nuits d’Afrique. The year’s biggest tourist and event surge.
Tip: +20 to +30% across the board, longer booking minimum, stronger weekend premium. Lock in early.
Osheaga, îlesoniq, wedding and private-event season. Demand stays strong through early/mid-August, then drops as fall begins.
Tip: keep prices high until ~Aug 20, then run a targeted late-August promo to fill the back-to-school lull.
Weekday: base rate
Weekend: +15 to +25%
Evening / festival: premium
Recurring client: −10 to −15%
