What It Feels Like to Have Your Wedding Reception at Roma Receptions, Montreal — A Videographer’s Perspective

In the past three years, Roma Receptions has become such a familiar backdrop in our films that we often joke it feels like our second studio. There was a stretch when we filmed there almost every weekend — and not once did it feel repetitive.

Roma is one of those rare venues that’s equal parts luxurious, theatrical, and adaptable. Whether it’s an intimate wedding or a full-blown celebration, this place transforms with the couple. And from a videographer’s lens, that’s a dream.

🎥 Why We Love Filming at Roma Receptions

Let’s start with what matters most when making a wedding film: light, space, detail, and movement.

At Roma, you get all four — and more. Each of the three ballrooms has its own personality, and after filming dozens of weddings here, we’ve mastered their angles, lighting setups, and how to make the most of every room’s unique ambiance.

Roma’s team is also incredibly professional, and that makes a huge difference for videographers. When the event runs smoothly, we get to focus on capturing what matters — the emotion, the people, and the energy.

💎 The Royale — Refined Drama

The Royale is nothing short of dramatic. With crystal teardrop chandeliers, glass bar, and padded white leather walls, the room feels like a high-end film set the moment you walk in.

We love the way the lighting in this room can shift to match the mood — from soft and romantic during speeches to bold and electric during the dance party. The lit plexiglass sweet table in the solarium also creates a stunning visual contrast for couple portraits or slow-motion walk-ins.

The Royale’s bridal love seat and all-white tones give us the perfect clean canvas to make everything — from your dress to your emotions — stand out with clarity.

✨ The Contessa — Trendy and Elegant

The Contessa is the most contemporary of the three, with mirrored tabletops, silver pearl tufted booths, and Swarovski chandeliers that bounce light across the room like a dream. It’s trendy without being flashy — sleek, modern, and just theatrical enough to make an impression on camera.

What we love most here is the blend of classic and modern textures: marble, silver, crystal, mirror. It gives us so many ways to compose creative, layered shots.

And the white porcelain dance floor with its laser-etched center piece logo? It’s a videographer’s playground.

🎬 The Baroque — Pure Cinematic Grandeur

If you want your wedding to feel like an event — not just a reception — the Baroque ballroom is for you. It’s the largest of the three, with a 35-foot private bar, an attached solarium, and an almost regal presence from the moment you walk in.

But the real magic here is tech meets beauty. The state-of-the-art LED screen hidden behind a two-way mirror adds a modern storytelling tool we love using. We’ve filmed surprise slideshows, speeches from abroad via Skype, and even played same-day edits right on that screen.

The space is so flexible that it allows us to shoot wide, sweeping scenes during grand entrances and then tight, emotional moments during speeches — all without needing to rearrange lighting or compromise the quality.

And with multiple cameras, we can always find a cinematic angle to tell the story right.

💡 For Us, It’s Familiar — But Never Ordinary

One of the best things about filming at Roma Receptions is that we know the space inside out, but it never feels overdone.

Every wedding brings in a new energy. A new layout. New lighting choices. New colors. And because we’ve shot in every corner, we know exactly how to adapt without missing a beat.

If you’re a couple getting married at Roma Receptions, you’re in for an unforgettable night — not just for your guests, but also in the way your wedding will look and feel on film.
