The best wedding decision we made

We made a lot of good choices in our wedding planning process but choosing La Cite Francophone was hands down the best one. The venue was so stunning (check out the photos in their google reviews). The food was INCREDIBLE, the price was shockingly very reasonable and the coordinators Tanya and Sevy went so above and beyond for us, from answering all our questions leading up, to clearly outlining what they needed from us and our guests ahead of time, to working with us to figure out how to make our personalization requests work - they were really with us every step of the way. Day of, they even fluffed my dress before I walked down the aisle and personally made me a drink when they saw that mine was low. During our tasting, Chef Joseph served us and told us a story to go with each dish, down to which local farms the ingredients were sourced from. He even served us the day of the wedding which made it feel so special and intimate. It was so clear that the whole team cared and just wanted to make it a good experience for us. I can't wait to go back there for many more date nights and events to come

We weren't too sure what the rental situation was initially but basically there's a beautiful outdoor courtyard/terrace or the rotunda (sunroom with dramatic red staircase) for the ceremony and then a standard banquet hall for reception that has 2 removable walls. We had about 80 guests (invited 115ish) and it was very comfortable. The room didnt feel empty or cramped. They list a capacity of 120 for the rotunda or terrace. That would probably be cozy but the team there won't steer you wrong

La Cite Review

I had my wedding at La Cite on July 31st, 2021. The ceremony had a bit of a delay due to technical issues but Nawal worked hard to try and solve it, I really appreciated the effort! I really loved the ability to have both the ceremony and reception in one location. We also had our photos done at La Cite and they turned out great! Nawal was amazing to work with and quick to respond to my many questions.

The venue was great, event coordinator was not

The event coordinator change three times over the year that we worked with the vendor. The newest coordinator did not seem well trained, and working out the bill with her was a nightmare, she originally over charged us by over $2000! So make sure you read through that contract and bill well. Otherwise the venue was great, the day of coordinator was fantastic and the food was amazing. Everyone loved the venue space, and the kids loved all the area to play in.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
