Wedding Hall

Live here and it Nice neighborhood.

Happy Wife Happy Life was amazing to work with right from the moment we booked them right until our last guests left the wedding. Throughout the planning stages, Matt was super helpful and quickly answered all my emails. Their website is also probably one of the easiest planning tools I’ve ever used! The day before the wedding, they showed up earlier than I even expected and were very eager to help not just with their own setup, but with helping to iron out any issues that came up along the way. When we did a test run of our slideshow, we couldn’t get it to play properly. Matt quickly jumped in, and started showing me how to use different programs to help the slideshow play properly. At our wedding, Sean Lamb was our DJ and MC. He was amazing. Right from when the dance started until we had to shut it down, the dance floor was packed. I had multiple people tell me that they were not used to dancing so much, and they never wanted to sit down and take a break because every song played was so good! We also had a photo booth which was a huge hit! There was almost always a group of people in front of the camera!

Jenna was an absolute dream to work with. I would definitely recommend working with her and Cocktails and Details. :)

Absolutely incredible people and even better photographers. Couldn't recommend them more! We were absolutely blown away by the incredible quality of our wedding photos.

What an amazing Canada Day set up! A petting zoo, face painting, balloon animals, a magic show, a BBQ, and a movie. Wow! Over the top!

Beautiful city we live in

This is a pretty sweet venue to go and watch the MMA fights, don't have to wait very long for drinks and it's very clean with reasonable amount of parking. I've been there more than once and I think I'll be back again. Great job on the menu, keep up the good work!

Rapid fire theatre. Friday and Saturday nights. Great entertainment. Great value. Support local theatre.

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Box Cube photography. Sharyar was very professional and courteous from the first meeting. My fiancé and I did appreciate the level of organization and thoughtfulness he brought to the table regarding our wedding details. We recently completed our engagement shoot and the follow up with that. Box Cube, especially Sharyar has been great in suggesting different thoughts and ideas pertaining to our wedding and I can confidently say, that level of interest shows a high level of commitment for the clients. My fiancé and I both come from customer service industries and services like the one provided by box cube are highly sought after! Really looking forward to working more with box cube for a few more of our wedding events! Highly recommended!

Fantastic hall with great history. Great people to get to know and bond with.

We would highly recommend having your wedding at the beautiful venue La Cite Francophone. At first we were somewhat leary based on some of the reviews we had seen about La Cite Francophone as a wedding venue, however, we were totally blown away by how friendly, helpful, and how genuinely concerned the coordinators and caterers were with helping us have the best possible wedding. We ended up having a wedding which WAS EVEN BETTER THAN WE EXPECTED, and a big big part of that was because we had it at La Cite We know our guests enjoyed the wedding based on the number of compliments on both the wedding and the food. PRICE: The price was on par with several community/cultural halls around the city. With La Cite, you have a beautiful venue set in a quiet neighborhood that opens up to a large glass wall with the sun streaming in during your evening reception. The ability to have the ceremony in the rotunda or courtyard for only an extra $75 was a huge bonus for us, allowing us to keep the entire event from ceremony to photos in the beautiful courtyard to reception in one venue. Not having to run around the city (and have your guests run around too) allowed us to save money and made the choice to use La Cite easy. AESTHETICS: The courtyard is beautifully decorated with flowers and Cafe Bicyclettes outdoor patio. An excellent spot to have your outdoor ceremony and to take photos. As mentioned before the reception rooms open up to the high glass walls letting all the natural light in. If it rains, you can have your ceremony inside the brightly lit rotunda. COORDINATION WITH STAFF AND CONTRACT DETAILS: We made sure to keep in close communication with the coordinators and to ensure that we had all our deliverables to La Cite as early as possible. The staff were very flexible and worked with us. Other reviewers seemed to have some issues with payment, booking and food etc. however reading those reviews more closely, I suspect that they were likely not communicating their needs to the venue. It also sounded like they hadn’t even paid the venue the week of their wedding, when it is quite clear that payment is due two weeks prior (10 business days to be exact). The contract was very clear in what is included and what is not included and we made sure to get our guest numbers, and meal selections into them on time. We were even surprised at the flexibility the coordinators allowed us. There were times when Ghislaine was difficult to get a hold of or away, however, Elyse - the events coordinator - stepped in and ensured that everything went smoothly. FOOD / DINING EXPERIENCE: The food was delicious and came out just a few minutes after the scheduled time. Everyone had ample time to get seconds and even thirds. Extra plates were handed out as soon as you needed. Dessert included with the meal is VERY generous. There was a large variety of cakes and squares. The tasting gives you exactly what you will see at your buffet minus desserts, though I’m sure if you asked, they would provide it. In our case, I think they even gave us more varieties of salad than we expected as well as delicious grilled bread). We noted that some guests waited a bit long (maybe 20-30 mins) for their specialty vegan or allergy meals. We pointed out the situation to the staff who were very apologetic. When the meals were received they were enjoyed by our guests and we were happy that the situation was resolved. We booked in 2016 and the menu and prices changed slightly in 2017, they honored all of the 2016 prices, though we had to go with the 2017 menu. Not a big deal as the menu was delicious and still just as good value. OVERALL: 10/10 would recommend!

Sheri was brought in fairly last minute for our family photos as the photographer we had scheduled it with was pregnant, doing my wedding shoot later in the week, and was worried she would not have enough energy to do both. For being thrown in, not knowing us before hand, and having a large group with 8 young adults to children to deal with (as well as us older folks!), Shari did a great job bringing us together for some wonderful photos. They turned out great, with some fun shots as well as the more traditional photos to suit my parents too. Thanks a bunch!

Park is horrible...kids drinking around everywhere. And swearing around . So rugged.

awesome great photos!!!!!!! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I had such an incredible experience here. I'm from High Prairie 4 hours away and had family visiting, and they were able to book my an appointment promptly! When I got there, I was helped quickly, and the saleslady I had, Lynne, was just amazing. She took what I wanted in a wedding dress and ran with it, and found the absolutely perfect one. I never once felt rushed, or like she wasn't interested. My experience was perfect, and I am so incredibly happy!!! Lynn's advice was wonderful, and I found her thoughts on dresses to be constructive and thoughtful! She really knows her stuff!

Awesome little venue for small groups.

Great park. Really nice spray park

No parking hard to get to.
