Best night ever

I had my wedding here this spring and it was nothing short of amazing. Jessica the event coordinator was truly a dream come true for a bride and groom. She made everything perfect from the food, to the little details it was just utterly amazing. She has been there 15 years and you can tell she loves her job and helping her clients. Booking the escadrille for our wedding will always be one of our greatest and easiest decisions we’ve ever made- and that was largely thanks to Jessica for making everything so perfect. A huge thank you to all the other coordinators there, Tanya & Elisabeth! Our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about every part of it.

We loved Cafe Escadrille!

We absolutely loved our reception at Cafe Escadrille! The space was beautiful and so much was included in the wedding package for the price. It was definitely on the more affordable side compared to other venues we researched, but still gave a very elegant feel! The wedding coordinator Jessica was very easy to work with and responsive. The day of attendant (Lucille, I believe) was super accommodating and helpful. The centerpieces were included with the package and were beautiful and saved us a lot on flowers! The cake was also included and came out beautiful. Our guests all said that they loved the food - they were also easily able to accommodate allergies for a few guests. There are a lot of spots for great photo ops inside and outside. 10/10 would recommend. We had the best day ever!

Love this venue!

We booked with Cafe Escadrille in late September/ Oct 2024 for our wedding in June 2025. Tanya was our main contact and was awesome throughout the process. She helped to make the wedding planning process easier and was very helpful in any questions we had. Jessica was great as well! The wedding coordinators, Charlotte and Elizabeth, were so nice, welcoming and warm. Lucille was also helping the day of the wedding and was so sweet. The whole entire staff was just awesome. I would highly recommend Cafe Escadrille for a venue for your wedding!! They helped so much to make our wedding night even more special.

Wedding review

Hosted my wedding with Cafe Escadrille on 5/4/2025. I had around 150 guests and the reception took place in the grand ballroom, with cocktail hour in the parlor. For starters, it’s important to note that I got engaged in January of 2025 and wedding was to take place in beginning of May 2025 - leaving me with just 3 months for planning, sending out invitations, etc. given the short time frame, communication with the venue and event coordinator was crucial. I chose Cafe Escadrille because my brother had his wedding here 10 years ago and I remember leaving “wow’d” by the food. I returned for my own wedding this time around and hoped to have a similar experience. Make no mistake, I was indeed wow’d the second time around. Tanya, my event coordinator, worked with me every step of the way to have a successful reception; assisting with things like the floor plan, explaining meal selections, h’our d’ourve choices, cake options, working with the DJ to schedule a site visit, etc. She was excellent. The traditional Wedding package offered by the venue has a huge selection of meal options and there really is something for everyone. As part of the package, you get to select 4 meal choices for guests to choose from. I chose the prime rib, chicken statler, salmon, and vegetable stack for my vegetarian friends. Food was absolutely delicious on the day of and the portions were generous. Prime rib was cooked exactly how I requested. The venue offers house linens and candelabras for brides who are looking to save money on centerpieces. I opted to have fresh floral centerpieces, but it still felt good knowing I had the option to use the candelabras incase I wanted to save money and skip out on buying flowers. The dinner package included champagne with strawberry garnish for performing a toast, house selection of red and white wines were also included and served to guests during dinner. I chose the escadrille salad with house dressing for my first course. Salad was delicious. It was also served with warm bread rolls and butter. I chose the raspberry sorbet for the intermezzo, and strawberry grand marnier for the cake. The Intermezzo was refreshing. The cake was an absolute hit and everyone who tried it loved the taste. It was served with ice cream and a chocolate cup. Overall, I was happy with the food, service I recieved, level of professionalism and responsiveness from the venue and event coordinator. I will be back in the future to host more events at cafe escadrille and would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking to host their wedding on a budget while still having excellent food options. 5 out of 5 for my experience. Thank you cafe escadrille for a beautiful reception.

Amazing coordinators and staff!

I got married in 2024 and used the Cafe Escadrille and could not have been happier. Their attention to detail is superb and their wait staff are so attentive. From menu meetings, guidance on vendors and more, I felt so taken care of with Escadrille and never had a worry - I highly recommend!

Elopement Party

My husband and I eloped and were looking for a place to have a party to celebrate. We wanted a cocktail party with room for dancing. I contacted Jessica and she understood everything we were looking for and laid out all of the options that Cafe Escadrille had to offer: banquet rooms, the cozy bar, or the courtyard room, sit down meals, buffets, hors d'oeuvres, desserts, cocktails. Options beyond options. Jessica helped me with menu selections and ensured there was plenty of food.

We had 75 guests and chose the Courtyard Room with heavy hors d'oeuvres, a charcuterie station, a pasta and slider station, open bar, 3 12-seat tables and several high top tables with plenty of room for the DJ and dancing. The staff for the event were incredibly attentive and made the night flow seamlessly.

Everyone said it was the most fun they’ve had at a party and we couldn’t agree more. It was everything we were hoping for.

Best place to have your wedding!

I am so happy that we chose Cafe Escadrille for our wedding. From day one Tanya was always responsive and answered questions clearly and with so much patience. I had a lot of confidence in Tanya and the rest of the staff that I really could just go into my wedding day without worrying about anything. The day of our wedding went so smoothly that all we had to do was enjoy every moment of it. Every guest said the food was amazing and that they had a wonderful time. It truly is a great place to have a wedding reception, you are guaranteed a successful, fun, and smooth wedding at Cafe Escadrille!
