Absolutely magical

Couldn't have imagined our special day anywhere else. We were allowed to have our dog as our ringbearer here which was really important to us and he was able to stay as long as we wanted him to. Kim was so kind and accommodating through the entire process. She addressed all of our concerns and made sure to take as much stress off as possible - even allowing us to drop off items a few days beforehand. Our venue was absolutely gorgeous the day of and our pictures look stunning. Our guests continuously said we had the perfect venue and how much they loved it. We stumbled upon this venue on a walk through town and it was the best discovery ever! So thankful we had our wedding here. Thank you to Kim and her staff!!

A Perfect Winter Wedding

We absolutely loved La Banque de Fleuve for our intimate, winter wedding. We utilized the historic bank venue for both ceremony and reception, and it was absolutely gorgeous. The venue already had some holiday decor set-up on our wedding day, and it was enhanced the beauty of this venue. The historic bank vault was such a neat touch and our guests commented on it.
We worked with Ariana as our venue coordinator, and I cannot say enough good things about her - she was super communicative during the planning process, responded to all my questions promptly, and even delayed setting up their Christmas tree in our reception area to ensure we had adequate space for our guests. She was so easy to work with and made the experience so much easier for us. I'd highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for an intimate space.

Rainy wedding day at a great venue

We had my daughter’s wedding at La Banque on Nov.24, 2024. After months of drought, it rained all day on her wedding day. On top of that, the manager of the catering services was switched at the last minute (8 pm on the night before the wedding!)
However, she still had a perfect wedding day and a phenomenal reception. Perfection and fun from beginning to end! The success was due to Kimberly Barth, the wedding coordinator at La Banque. She was able to move locations for dressing and pictures around. She coordinated with the newly appointed catering manager, as well as with the photographer and DJ. She helped decorate, and the venue looked gorgeous. It was stress free for me and my daughter, due to Kim. We received rave reviews from the guests, and my daughter and son in law said that their wedding day was even better than they could have imagined. I can’t recommend the venue and Kimberly enough. La Banque was definitely the perfect choice for us to create a perfect reception! The only regret is that the reception passed so quickly!

The most beautiful wedding venue!

Wow! I couldn’t love this venue more. It was the absolute perfect wedding venue if you’re looking for unique outdoor space you can use however you want and beautiful views of the water! Kim is incredible and truly cares about her brides/grooms to get to know them and help execute an incredible wedding day. Kim made sure to check in on me to see how I was doing with planning and was always so helpful with any questions I have. I absolutely loved this venue and hosting a wedding here is perfect! Pro tip: host your after party at Coakley’s Pub!

The Perfect Place

I wanted a cocktail party vibe for my wedding, and I knew this would be the perfect place. Havre de Grace is a quaint and eclectic waterfront town, and this venue is situated right in the middle. It offers a large tent in case of inclement weather, a very accommodating lounge area for the bridal party, and the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful during the planning process. Our wedding was just perfect, and La Banque made it happen.

Wedding During Tropical Storm Ophelia

We fell in love with la Banque de fleuve two years ago when we decided to book our wedding there. Long story short we knew there was going to be rain on our wedding day. But then the rain turned into a tropical storm (#Ophelia). Not the ideal scenario for an outdoor tented venue. The week before the wedding Kim was looking at the weather forecast at all hours throughout the night. Then three days before the wedding we made the joint decision to hold the reception at the Bank and do the ceremony outside under a second tent we had rented. Kim completely revamped the plans to create an intimate cocktail party/ night club vibe. The guests could not stop talking about how fun the reception was! We broke up our buffet into two food stations and had tables with chairs as well as cocktail tables. We used the vault area for dessert and Photo Booth. The wedding turned out wonderfully and it actually stopped raining when I walked down the aisle. We are so grateful for Kim and the rest of the team for their ability to adapt under theses circumstances. Kim is wonderful to work with and always puts her clients first. This was an amazing experience that we will remember forever!

Amazing Venue!

We got married at La Banque de Fleuve (Sea Plane Base) in May 2023 and had the best experience! The venue is huge and absolutely beautiful. All of our guests were so complimentary of it. Kim is the best to work with - she is super knowledgeable and helpful with every step of the process. We also just attended our friends' wedding here and everything was perfect. Would absolutely recommend La Banque!

Perfection

My son was married at La Banque de Fleuve at the Seaplane Base on 9/10/23. The weather co-operated to make this a perfect day. Kim was so helpful and attentive, even assuring us of an inclement weather back-up plan. We couldn’t have asked for a more magical day! The waterfront views make for an absolutely stunning backdrop for photos! I can’t recommend this venue enough!

The Perfect Day

We were married 5/20/23 at the seaplane at la banque. It was an amazing day and an amazing experience completely to work with Kim at La Banque! From the start to finish everything went smoothly and even the weather pulled through! Most of our vendors were chosen off of Kim’s and the venue’s preferred vendor list and I totally understand why! Everyone worked together so well and made it such an easy experience. The view is unbeatable and we loved our everything is in one location. Our guest enjoyed the deck and walking down the pier. We were able to have a cigar bar which was a must for our fathers! The venue is perfect for an intimate wedding or large wedding (we had 115). Our guest are still raving about the venue and how perfect our day was!

Perfect Day

I can not say enough amazing things about Kim and Caitlyn. These ladies put so much work into making our day seamless. They knew I wanted to have our ceremony on the water, and the weather cooperated right in the nick of time, these ladies made it happen! We had an absolutely perfect day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
