Venue rental for a wedding reception drinks (vin d'honneur)

The friendly break between the ceremony and the reception

Civil marriage, baptism, celebration: the vin d'honneur is a short but precious moment where everyone needs to find a glass, a bite to eat, and a conversation. We set up the room, run the bar, circulate the trays, and keep the pace going so you can stay with your guests rather than being in the kitchen.

Bubbles at the right height

Crémant de Bourgogne or champagne, wines chosen with our partner wine merchant, soft drinks and quality juices for children and those who don't drink. A short, but impeccable menu.
