We had our small 32 person wedding in the Winter Garden Room at Cafe Escadrille and it was beyond perfection. From the moment we met Tanya, our wedding coordinator, I felt so comfortable and trusting her thought out the process, she deserves some major recognition!
The day of, all the decorations we laid out exactly how I envisioned it, and probably even better. The food was spectacular along with our waiters, Lucille and Vlado. If you’re hosting your wedding here, you must request the both of them. The cake was delicious and their in house pastry chef did an incredible design, just how I pictured it.
I simply cannot say enough great things about Cafe Escadrille. They made our day so special and flawless. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone.
We had the BEST time at our wedding reception at Cafe Escadrille! Everything was absolutely perfect - it was even better than we ever could have imagined and we are so thankful for the amazing staff!
The space was beautiful, everyone was so attentive and friendly, and the food was phenomenal. No surprise - all of our guests were raving about the venue and food! My husband and I keep saying how lucky and grateful we are to have used Cafe Escadrille for our wedding celebration. We can’t thank them enough for how amazing they/the owners were through navigating the last year+ and being so flexible. Our long-awaited reception was truly incredible!
We had originally planned our date for October of 2020 and postponed a year until our 1 year anniversary. We were incredibly lucky that Cafe Escadrille worked with us to reschedule and honor our pricing and package, we’ve heard many horror stories of other couples at different venues that were not so lucky and had astronomical rescheduling fees and nightmares!
Our reception was certainly worth the wait and exceeded all of our expectations - it was a dream day!
Cafe Escadrille also recommended vendors to us and we used a photographer (Bharat Parmar) and DJ (James DiNanno) they had recommended and we really hit the vendor jackpot. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Cafe Escadrille made our event so special. We could not recommend them more highly and will absolutely look to host any future events with them!
We did not end up having our wedding reception at the Cafe Escadrille, as our plans for a 2020 wedding changed due to covid. That being said, we can’t speak highly enough of the Cafe Escadrille, even though we ended up having to change reception venues.
Initially the process of meeting with everyone at the Cafe was very smooth - everyone was so nice, friendly, and patient. The reception hall and surrounding space is beautiful, and the staff was excellent. We found that the food was superb upon having our tasting as well.
Sadly we had to change reception venues, and the Cafe was overly accommodating due to the pandemic. When we notified the Cafe we had to change venues, we were given a full refund of all money we had put down. This was NOT something that the Cafe needed to do, but chose to do for us anyways.
We would recommend the Cafe Escadrille to anyone looking for a wedding reception venue! This is an established, respectable place that will not leave you disappointed.
There just aren't enough words to describe how happy we are that we chose Cafe Escadrille for our wedding venue. Jessica Reynolds is a rockstar of event coordinators and was beyond accommodating. Lucille was assigned to me the day of the wedding for anything I needed and was fantastic, and Amy Lavoie went above and beyond in service throughout the night. We had both the ceremony and reception there on 8/21/21 - it was beautiful, the food was OUTSTANDING (people are still telling me how good it was), the in-house cake was exactly like the picture I asked for AND delicious, and everyone had so much fun! The value of the very inclusive package was beyond compare. Without a doubt Cafe Escadrille was one of the best (and easiest) decisions and I can't thank Jessica enough!
We just recently (2/15:2020)had our Wedding Ceremony and Reception at the Cafe Escadrille. It truly was a dream Wedding that they created. Our Wedding Coordinator, Tanya was absolutely wonderful in creating the Wedding we wanted. Our personal server, Lucille made sure that we had absolutely everything/anything we needed. The food was excellent as was the cake.
I held my daughters wedding shower at Cafe Escadrille in their Winter Garden Room on 8/24/19 and it was magical. The staff was so on point and made sure that everything ran smoothly. The room was gorgeous, the food was hot & delicious, the bartender/servers were all so lovely~I could not have asked for more. Jessica & Nicole (the event coordinators) made sure that anything we requested was readily available to us and I truly thank them for that! It was the best decision I made picking this beautiful venue for such a special day! Always loved this place 💖
We had a wonderful experience with Cafe Escardrille. From our first conversation with Jessica Reynolds and her team, we felt informed of all our options, pricing, and details. They were great at following up and letting us know what they needed from us.
The day of was fantastic with everything being taken care of by the Escardrille team with thoughtful and happy service. The food was great, the space was perfect for our group, and any needs were taken care of very quickly. We had multiple comments from friends and family about how lovely the space was and how they enjoyed it. We would strongly recommend Cafe Escadrille
My husband and I got married at cafe escadrille on May 4th of this year, and we couldn’t have wished for a better venue for both our ceremony and reception. From the beginning, they were very responsive to our questions and upfront about all they had to offer. They offered a great wedding package deal that included open bar during cocktail hour, wine service during the meal, champaign toast, a wedding cake that we got to pick the design for, and more. Jessica (the wedding coordinator we worked with at escadrille) helped us figure out the wedding timeline, coordinated with our vendors on the day of, and made sure everything went as planned. All the staff were extremely kind, professional and attentive. We are extremely grateful to have worked with cafe escadrille for our wedding and would highly recommend them!
My husband and I had a perfect night for our wedding in October 2019. Cafe Escadrille met all of our expectations. Elisa emailed with me for over a year before the wedding and answered every question I could possibly come up with. The space was beautiful and the staff were amazing and so accommodating. There is so much included in their packages that other venues do not offer. Having a bridal suite was a huge must for me, and I was able to arrive around 9AM. Lucille made sure everything was perfect all day and even made my husband and I sit down to eat during every course. My ONLY reservation, and this is a tiny one, is that the backdrop of the wedding party and bride walking down the aisle is a wall that doesn't look too pretty in pictures. If I had to do it again, I would have made sure there was some kind of curtain. Overall, I highly recommend!
Cafe Escadrille absolutely made our wedding a dream come true. We had an intimate ceremony in the parlor in front of the fire place. Tanya was our coordinator and was so helpful from the very first day we spoke to her. I dropped our wedding decorations off with her a day before the wedding and the way she set everything up was more beautiful than I could have imagined. The whole team was flexible, helpful, and so sweet. Tanya and the rest of the dream team at the Escadrille went above and beyond to make our day more perfect than we could have ever imagined. If you're considering the Escadrille for your wedding or any event, look no further. Our wedding was truly the best day EVER and a big reason for that is the Escadrille and the incredible team there.
It was the perfect location for our wedding! It was the first and only place that we looked at for our wedding with 40 guests. I was paired with Elisa, and she was always professional and responsive to my emails, questions, and meetings with us. The staff was always friendly whenever we went to the location and happy to answer any of our questions. We were also amazed at what was included with the package and how reasonable it was. We got married during a rainy nor'easter and they were very accommodating so we could do our first look photos there. Our photographer had fun with the location and we can't wait to see the photos. We were greeted my Lucille and brought to the bridal suite so we could finish getting ready. Lucile, Elisa and Ally were amazing all night and being there for all our needs along with all the other staff. We had our ceremony in the parlor by the fireplace followed by cocktail hour. We then moved into the Winter Garden Room for our reception. They set up both rooms perfectly! Everyone is still talking about how great the food was and how perfect the location was. We had a few guest with dietary needs and they were very accommodating. I just can't say enough about how great my experience with Cafe Escadrille was and I will definitely reach out to them for future events.
Best Night Ever! Elisa and her team were amazing from the very beginning. They made the planning process smooth and easy. The day of, one of the other wedding coordinators came in early to let us into the bridal suite. They were attentive all throughout the day. The service that night was impeccable from the food, to the staff and bartenders. We couldn't have asked for anything more. My guests are still talking about what a great time they had and how good the food was. THANK YOU! Elisa and Cafe Escadrille for making our night truly special!
My bridal shower was hosted in the Winter Garden at Cafe Escadrille and was beyond perfect! The quality of the food was excellent. We had a brunch and there were plenty of options to select a menu to accommodate all guests/allergies. Working with Elisa Turilli made our experience amazing as she was reliable, quick to respond and knowledgable about planning this type of event to help make suggestions, which we really appreciated! We loved this venue for the food of course, but the added benefit of a beautiful room which made the room easy to decorate and compliment all the photos from the afternoon. The staff working our event were attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back, thank you again for hosting a dream bridal shower!!
The Cafe Escadrille without a doubt gave us our best day ever and so much more! We booked and planned our wedding with Devyn Facchetti and Jessica Reynolds. Everyone knows weddings are expensive but the packages offered by the Escadrille really made us feel like we were getting everything we wanted for our special day. From touring the space, to our tasting, and finally on our wedding day they really did make us feel like our special day was the most important event to them. As we had more than 150 guests, we were given exclusive use of the entire function facility. Jessica was right outside when we arrived on our wedding day and was there the entire night making sure we were on schedule, even if we were cutting it close she made sure we stayed on track for the evening. They even started our cocktail hour early because our guests started coming before it was scheduled to start. When we arrived we were escorted to the winter garden room where we could take wedding photos with our family and friends while our other guests enjoyed the cocktail reception. This room is where we met Lucille who was our dedicated attendant the entire evening. She went above and beyond from the moment we met her making sure we had the chance to actually enjoy our meal and stayed with us until we left at the end of the night. We cannot thank her enough for all of her help. Our cocktail hour was included in the package which included unlimited appetizers throughout the hour. Our guests raved about our wedding venue, the outstanding food, and service for days and even weeks after our wedding. On multiple occasions during the wedding people came up to us and asked if we were ever going to stop feeding them. It was truly the most amazing feeling to give our guests such a wonderful experience. Another great feature that the Café Escadrille had was the bridal suite on the lower level. It was the perfect location to get our bridal party lined up before we were announced or to go touch up my makeup during the night. Jessica and her team executed everything perfectly to make our wedding day the most wonderful day. Overall, the food was incredible, the service unmatched, and the beautiful venue truly made our wedding everything we could have hoped for and so much more.
The Café Escadrille gave us the most perfect wedding day we could have ever imagined. From the time we booked with Jessica Reynolds back in January to our wedding night coordinated by Allie and Elisa on October 20th, the Café was so attentive to us the entire time. Not only is the location beautiful and convenient, but the package they offer is unique and unlike any hotel or country club wedding we've ever been to. It includes an hour open bar, wine with dinner, 3 entrée choices, 6 hor devoures, cheese station, THE CAKE!, linens, BEAUTIFUL CENTERPIECES, free valet parking, and free shuttle service, plus so much more for such a good price, they even gave us a discount for booking within a year and allowed us to rehearse 2 nights before at no additional charge! All of our guests were raving about how hot and delicious the food was (it is a 5 star restaurant), and a few of our guests asked where we got our cake and if they could buy one for their own events. They accommodated us through every single detail, from the bridal suite to our grand exit, set up to clean up. I spent so much time organizing the décor for my wedding, and Allie and Elsie executed a design so much more beautifully than we could have imagined. The wait staff was also exquisite; Lucille, our personal butler stayed with me since noon in the bridal suite until we left for the evening, making sure we got food and drinks, she even helped clean cranberry sauce that I spilled on my shoe! The event staff were not pushy about the payment process, it was smooth and stress free and they made our package work for us. I bombarded Jessica with so many emails throughout the year with questions, and she was always attentive to us. There were only a few things we would have changed: our ceremony space was really cramped as the front row of chairs was too close to our alter space, in retrospect we would have asked them to remove and push some chairs back. I was also bummed that when I got my cake topper back the next day, it was broken into 5 pieces inside the box, and nobody told me about it, I wish they would have been more careful. However, all our other decorations, came back in great condition. In the end, our guests thought it was the best wedding they had been to. The space was beautiful, the food was outstanding , and the service impeccable. Getting married here is unlike a typical hotel ballroom wedding and you get much more bang for your buck. Would do it all over again the same if we could! Thank you Café Escadrille!
When we first started to look at venues for our weeding, Café Escadrille stood out right away.
Elisa, the event coordinator put us at ease right away and made us feel comfortable and confident in her abilities. The value of the venue was amazing! The weeks leading up to the wedding were chaotic and I must have emailed Elisa 10 times…she put all my worries to rest. The day of the wedding, everything was perfect. I did not have to worry about a thing. We had the ceremony in the lovely parlor and then moved to the winter room for an intimate dinner. The food was amazing and the service top notch. The star of the day was Lucille. She is a pro who knows what she is doing and took care of both me and my wife from beginning to end.
I can’t say enough nice things about Café Escadrille. They were great!
I had my wedding reception at Café Escadrille and everything was perfect! From the planning to the day of, I could not have asked for better service. We worked with Jessica Reynolds who was so helpful and had an answer for every question. All the wait staff, bartenders and everyone involved has great service and was so helpful. The function facility at Café Escadrille is beautiful and everything we could have asked for. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!
We cannot say enough about how amazing everything at Cafe Escadrille was, from the moment we made the appointment to tour the facility until even now, a few weeks after our wedding, they are absolutely amazing. The customer service and attentiveness we received from everyone, especially Jessica, Gabriela and Elisa was top notch. One of them was always available to answer questions. Even the tasting was special! We had such an incredible experience. They were there waiting at the door when we arrived to drop off all our wedding decor. We used their lovely centerpieces and birdcage for cards which was so convenient that they offer that. The food was so delicious. Our guests are still talking about how wonderful everything was and how much food there was. The biggest surprise was the cake. we could not have even imagined a more beautiful, elegant and scrumptious cake! And all the guests really enjoyed the amazing chocolate fountain and all the fruit and treats to dip in it. and that is all included in the price! The service by all was so wonderful that day. Bride and Groom have a personal server who took us to the private room downstairs (that had champagne and cheese/crackers just for us) made sure we ate and who took such special care of us. She was very kind and caring and we had a lot of fun with her and appreciate her taking such good care of us. Her name was Lucille.
All of our guests are still talking about what a beautiful wedding it was and that it's one of the best they've ever been too! Cafe Escadrille offers so much, convenient location with complimentary valet, delicious food and amazing service! They are the best!
There is not enough space to effectively rave about the experience my husband and I had while planning and celebrating our wedding reception with Elisa, Gabby, Lucille, and the rest of the amazing staff at Cafe Escadrille. From day one, I kept asking 'So what's the catch?' 'What's the extra fee?' To my surprise and delight there really were no gimmicks, no hassles, and absolutely no worries. This is the one time that I can honestly say I've gotten more than what we paid for!!
Our wedding reception was simply the best experience I have ever had. Mind you, this is coming from someone who didn't even want a wedding but had to make a bit of sacrifice for the in-laws. From the initial deposit, I felt that Elisa and her staff were so responsive, helpful, and genuine. They were organized and incredibly helpful. I was able to drop off the wedding decor the week before and trusted that the ladies of the event staff would make the place beautiful. The result...it was absolutely perfect and exactly what we were envisioning! Our guests continue to reach out to us raving about everything from the hors d'oeuvres, entrees, and the cake to the decor and the service of the staff from the Escadrille, particularly the customization of entrees for those with food allergies. If there were any hiccups during the reception - I didn't know about them.
I can't pick a favorite part of the night because it was all so spectacular. At the beginning of the night Lucille grabbed my husband and me and escorted us to the bridal suite to enjoy a few private moments before being inundated with our wedding guests. She even took us into the Ballroom to observe the room without guests and ensure everything was to our liking. They hit it out of the ballpark! Another bonus - Lucille also ensure that my husband and I got to enjoy all of the food - we had hors d'oeuvres waiting for us at our sweetheart table, and got to sit and enjoy our meals...INCLUDING the cake! I won't go anywhere else!
We hired Café Escadrille to host our 80-guest wedding reception in the grand ballroom. Thank you so much, Elisa, for managing a memorable evening! Our family and friends commented on the impressive space, excellent service, and delicious food. We were amazed that dinner was served piping hot. And the wait staff were so attentive; if a guest excused him/herself from the table, a server made sure to cover their food until their return. The cake was beautifully decorated; it was so fluffy and the strawberry Grand Marnier flavor was delightful! My favorite part was Elisa’s patience and openness to our ideas and her readiness to execute on them. Not to mention, the groom and I were able to fully enjoy the evening and the food without much worry on our part. Elisa and team took care of everything and were careful to safeguard the gifts/cards, moving them seamlessly from the cocktail hour into the ballroom just behind our sweetheart table. Finally, our guests were provided a safe transport to their hotel via Café Escadrille’s shuttle throughout the evening, which was peace of mind for the groom and me. Truly a worry-free and wonderful evening for the ages. We are so grateful that the night went so smoothly and our guests left happy. Thank you so much for taking care of everything with utmost professionalism. We most definitely recommend Café Escadrille!
Devyn and her staff were incredible! We planned our wedding in just under 5 months and Devyn was patient and thorough, answering any questions we had along the way. Everything looked and went perfectly and our guests had an fantastic time as did we. She and Café made our special day just so unforgettable and amazing - we can't express our thanks enough!
My wife and I did not want a traditional Asian reception with Chinese food served family style, but we did want to incorporate some traditional elements as well. Jessica Reynolds was very understanding of this. She was responsive and accommodating throughout the whole process. Cafe Escadrille struck the perfect balance of price, sophistication, and easily recognizable and tasty food. The guests felt that the venue was decorated beautifully, the service was solid overall, and the food was really, really good (those bacon-wrapped scallops - phenomenal). I would highly recommend this venue if the location and price fit your needs and I would love to work with Jessica and her team again!
Jessica R. was fantastic to work with. She and her team were very professional and willing to help us achieve the wedding we had envisioned (and make sure we didn't forget anything). Day of the service was perfect, and they made sure everything ran smoothly. I would recommend Cafe Escadrille to anyone looking to have their wedding.
I cannot say enough about Cafe Escadrille. The staff was so attentive, the food was amazing, and anything I could have wanted or asked for was done. They were also phenomenal to work with leading up to the event answering every little question and were so incredibly accommodating.
Everything was fantastic! The staff was so accommodating and attentive. Our meals were delicious and everything went smoothly. Our coordinator, Jessica, answered any and all of our questions. They made our wedding day perfect!
Had our wedding reception at Cafe Escadrille this past weekend, it was beautiful and executed not only exactly as we had asked, but even better than we could imagine. Our wedding coordinator, Jessica Spry was helpful, polite, friendly and professional. She made sure that we were well taken care of by the amazing staff, and that our family and friends had everything they wanted. We couldn't have asked for a more accommodating or beautiful reception, we were wined and dined all night!
The Cafe Escadrille was an amazing venue! We had such a wonderful experience from start to finish. We knew the food was going to good, but the food was beyond our expectations. The whole process was incredibly easy. Elisa was so flexible, open, always quick to respond, and truly a pleasure to work with. The customer service was unreal. They are experienced, professional, punctual, and all very kind, sweet and happy to be part of your celebration. We had a guest tell us that she went to the bathroom and came out to find her meal had been covered. She sat down and some one uncovered it immediately. Just amazing service! Lucille is an experienced concierge to the bridal party and took such great care of us, made sure we ate, kept us on schedule, and really made the whole night easy. Beyond what we could have ever dreamed of! We had the time of our lives and everyone of our guests had a blast. Best venue ever!
We had our wedding reception in October 2015 and it was perfect. Working with Jessica R. and the team at Cafe Escadrille made the planning process even more enjoyable. Jessica was amazing to work with, incredibly responsive and efficient (as well as the rest of the team there when she was not available). The food and cake were amazing and we absolutely loved the space. The space fit just over 200 people very comfortably. We were happy with absolutely everything!
we had our reception at the Cafe Escadrille and everything was PERFECT!!! our experience planning the wedding with Jessica R. was a pleasure, she was very helpful every step of the way. on our wedding day, the venue was beautiful, staff was amazing, Jessica and Jessica managed every detail perfectly, food was delicious and our cake was yummy and just what we asked for. Thank you for everything!!!!

Cafe Escadrille blew me away and completely surpassed my expectations. We primarily worked with Jessica Spry, who was amazing throughout the entire process. The space itself was perfect for our 162 guest wedding, with enough space for an enjoyable cocktail hour and ample space and extra rooms for the bridal party to take photographs. The ballroom was incredible. The linens, chair covers, and the hardwood floors really looked amazing. The food as you would guess was perfect. All of our guests were commenting on it that night and the weeks following the wedding. The staff was also great throughout the whole night. I was really impressed with their services. I would highly recommend checking Cafe Escadrille out for your wedding. Ask for Jess Spry!
I can not even begin to express how completely blown away we were with our entire wedding experience at Cafe Escadrille! The whole team has event planning down to a science and will do whatever they need to do to make sure that all details are executed flawlessly.
From the first visit, contract signing, thousands of emails with questions, requests and clarifications Jessica was there to help us and make the process as smooth as possible but to also listen to us and make our day come to life.
On the night of our wedding, it felt like we had another best friend by our side to make sure that everything was taken care of in the facility, our own needs as bride and groom and helped facilitate between vendors and checked in with us throughout the night. Even as formalities were coming up, she would find us and make sure the appropriate people were around and if we needed another minute she made sure we had the chance to take a breather.
Every guest had nothing but compliments about the evening from the dinner, service, cake, flow of the night, honestly people noticed all of the fine details!
I would go to cafe escadrille in the future for other events and would recommend them to other brides without any hesitation!
We worked with Jessica S. for our wedding (October 2015), and everything was great from beginning to end. Jessica was always extremely responsive, answering all of our questions in a timely manner. She helped us choose options for decor and aesthetics that fit with the theme/feel that we wanted. We were continuously impressed with the food (appetizers, main dinner courses, desserts, etc.) that Cafe Escadrille provided, and our guests raved about it being some of the best wedding food they've ever had. The venue also has a couple private rooms downstairs, where the bridal party can get ready, and very nice/clean restrooms. Cafe Escadrille also takes care of small details that you may not even think of, like making sure that the bride & groom get a few minutes to themselves between the ceremony and reception - so you can grab some drinks, a bite to eat (they will bring some food to your private room), or just take a minute to sit down and let it sink in that you just got married!
We hosted our wedding reception and rehearsal dinner here in September 2015. The venue is GORGEOUS and the staff is unbelievably helpful. Our guests had a total blast and the food and service were impeccable. Our coordinator, Elisa, was so professional and responsive. She made the wedding planning experience enjoyable. We were made to feel at home from the very start and our reception was AMAZING. I highly recommend booking here, you will NOT regret it! So fabulous.
We had our wedding reception at Cafe Escadrille about 3 weeks ago. This is a wonderful restaurant my family has enjoyed going to for years, and it is an added bonus that they just happen to do weddings as well. Absolutely everything was just perfect; from the beauty of the reception venue, to the delicious food, to the impeccable service we received. Our friends and family said it was the best wedding they have ever been to.
We worked with Jessica Reynolds and cannot say enough great things about her. This was a destination wedding for us planning everything from Michigan, and Jessica made everything come together for us. She is detail-oriented, down to earth and answered all of our many questions quickly. We met so many seemingly "crazed" wedding professionals in the wedding planning process, but always felt that Jessica had our best interests at heart. She went above and beyond with so many details so that our wedding reception would be exactly as we wanted, even with planning everything from afar. We were very lucky to have her with us from start to finish.
We had our own personal banquet captain on the wedding day too. The second we arrived she helped me step out of the limo and into a personal room for cocktail hour. She put a drink in front of me and made sure I was able to have a few bites before the reception started up. All I can remember is that I was absolutely starving! During the reception she made sure we had whatever we needed, food and drink. She was so nurturing and accommodating and it was just lovely to have her there with us. I cannot remember her name because the day was such a whirlwind, but I would love to thank her.
Everyone from servers to bartenders were wonderful as well. We are beyond happy with our choice for a wedding reception venue and would recommend them to all our family and friends.
Had a summer wedding here and all the guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been too. The staff is well organized and the food comes out on time, which allows for a lot of dancing. Not to mention the food itself was second to none. Jessica Reynolds was also a pleasure to work with she is well organized and did a great job with everything. She also responds quickly with any questions. I can not say enough about how great of a place the Cafe Escadrille is for a wedding. If you are looking for a great place for your reception this is it hands down!
We had an amazing wedding and the best thing about it was that it was *easy*. CE is a well-oiled machine, they do 3-6 events per weekend and they know what they're doing, end of story. Mario Hache was our coordinator (and he's the manager of the function side) and he was so lovely to work with. They took great care of us, let us come in early, relax and take over with our crazy family.
My husband and I got married at Cafe Escardille on 10/5/13 and had an ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE wedding.
From the first day we went in and visited Cafe Escadrille, we were so impressed with the professionalism and responsiveness from Mario our wedding coordinator. The rest of the planning process was much of the same. Mario promptly answered all my questions and accommodated requests I had for our big day! He was so great to work with leading up to the wedding and being there for the actual event!
Besides the professionalism, the location was beautiful! We had the whole venue to ourselves which was great. We were able to decorate as we chose and really made the place our own! The whole staff really helped out when I brought everything to set up!
My favorite part - the food was GREAT! We had a tasting before the wedding so we were sure everything would be amazing and it was! I cannot say enough about the food from start to finish! The cocktail hour, the main courses, dessert, and of course the CAKE were delicious. My guests have told me it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding!
Brittani, the pastry chef that made the cake, was great and met with me before the wedding to be sure the design and flavors of the cake were exactly what I wanted and she did not disappoint!
I 100% recommend Cafe Escadrille for your wedding. It was a wonderful experience and my guests are still talking about how great of a time they had. If you choose Cafe Escadrille, know that Mario, or your wedding coordinator, will attend to every detail and they have a great staff from waitresses to chefs, so you will not have to worry!
I chose the Cafe Escadrille because it was close to my parents' house and was a decent price without having to go into Boston.
I got so much more than I bargained for! The venue was gorgeous, Mario (my planner) was AMAZING and everything was just perfect. The food was to die for and people are still talking about the cake!
If you want a classy, amazing wedding without having to go into Boston and pay 10x more, I highly recommend the Cafe Escadrille!
My now husband and I got married at Cafe Escadrille this September. Jessica was our wedding coordinator and she was WONDERFUL to work with. She was professional and on top of everything, very helpful with the entire process. Easy to get a hold of, answered every question we had along the way. The food was absolutely delicious and kept coming all night. I did not hear one single complaint about anyone's food not tasting right or being hungry. The night of the wedding, everything went smoothly. Jessica worked great with all our vendors so the wedding transitioned smoothly from one course to the next with photos and all. Our cake was delicious, the best cake I have ever eaten. The design was exactly what I had described, the color was slightly off from what I had asked for but it still looked beautiful. Lucille waited on my husband and I and our wedding party the whole night and was there every time one of us turned around. She grabbed my bouquet as soon as we entered the ballroom and set it up, helped and instructed us leading up to the cake cutting, got us drinks, made sure we were not wanting for anything all night. She is so sweet and has a great sense of humor as well, she made a memorable impression on us and really helped to make our night so wonderful. We loved our wedding at the Escadrille from start to finish and got endless compliments on the service, food and atmosphere at Cafe Escadrille as well. Highly, highly recommend.
I just had my January 4th wedding at Cafe Escadrille and it was absolutely amazing! We had a smallish wedding with 75 guests and we were really looking for somewhere that would be elegant and intimate at the same time. Cafe Escadrille delivered just that!
We chose to have the ceremony here as well as the reception. The Grand Parlor was the perfect setting for our ceremony. We were married in front of their large fireplace and I keep hearing from guests that it was just perfect. The parlor really has a cozy, intimate feel to it and we brought in pictures of us and our families to put around.
The food was amazing, from the appetizers and entrees to the cake and the chocolate fountain. We did not have a single complaint about the food.
From the very start, service was extraordinary. Jessica from sales was our wedding coordinator and she walked us through every step of the planning. She was always quick to respond and answer any questions that we had. She did an amazing job putting everything together and she did not overlook a single detail.
Our cake designer, Brittani, was incredible. I still can't stop looking at pictures of our wedding cake! We looked at tons of pictures of past cakes that they had done, but we ended up falling in love with a cake that we saw on theknot.com. We brought in a picture of it and she did a great job of making it exactly the way that we envisioned it. The cake not only looked amazing but it was delicious too!
One of the biggest draws to this venue, besides the atmosphere and service, was the bridal suite. My whole wedding party, make-up, hair, and photographer arrived at the venue first thing in the morning and had the bridal suite for the whole entire day leading up to our 6pm wedding. The brought up snacks, champagne, coffee and anyhting else that we asked for during the day and constantly checked up on us. The bridal suite was big enough to designate 1 room to make-up, 1 room for hair, and 1 room with a large cough and chairs for my wedding party to relax in. We had a full bathroom with a shower. The suite was so large that we were able to close doors between rooms in the afternoon and my 4 year old flower girl was able to nap for hours!
The staff at Cafe Escadrille were so professional and detail oriented. My ceremony and reception were more beautiful than I could have imagined. I did not have to worry about a single thing all night. If I could do it all again...I wouldn't have my wedding anywhere else!!!
mario went above and beyond planning our wedding. everything was so perfect i couldnt have asked for a better day!
Mario and the girls were so helpful with everything and very accommodating. I still have guests calling my family to say what a gorgeous wedding it was! They have so many options it makes everything so easy. I would highly recommend this restaurant!
Our wedding was everything and more we could have dreamed of. Everyone was so wonderful, the food was excellent, and the place looked beautiful. The day was perfect!
From the very beginning, the staff at Cafe Escadrille was nothing less than fabulous. Mario, the venue manager, made us feeling like family, and took care of our each and every wedding need.
The venue itself is beautiful. From the garden room, the living room, and the ballroom, everything was perfect. Additionally, the small touches that the staff took to ensure our comfort and enjoyment was extremely appreciated (cheese and cracker platter and champagne in the bridal suite? yes please! A bride's gotta eat!). The wait staff was extremely professional and friendly. In particular, Lucille was at our beck and call all day and night, and even ensured we ate our dinner and kept our champagne flutes full.
Obviously the food was delicious. Guests have commented that it was the best wedding food they have ever had! Then there was the cake...gorgeous AND tasty!
Overall, I would recommend this venue to anyone who asked. Our wedding day was truly perfect, and I attest that to Cafe Escadrille's professionalism and experience. Thank you, especially to Mario, for everything! We'll be back :)
I wasn't your typical bride. I didn't want something extravagant because I hate being the center of attention. All I wanted was a small intimate dinner with our closest family and friends. As soon as I first spoke with Heather (my wedding coordinator), she understood what I wanted exactly. From start to finish she was attentive and always making sure my needs and wants were acheived. Even when I was sending her frantic emails, she was calm and caring. Heather was like talking to an old friend. She made the planning process so easy.
The actual day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. The service was impeccable and the food was amazing. When my husband and I arrived we were greeted and whisked to our private bridal suite by Ashley, where we were served champagne, hor'dourves, and a cheese and fruit platter. Our personal waitress for the night was Ashley (she was amazing), but I received many compliments from guests telling me the service was teriffic (especially Peter). When it came time to cut the cake, I panicked. Heather was right there to help me and tell me that we didn't have to do a cake cutting if it made me more comfortable... So I nixed the cake cutting and I felt MUCH better.
The food and the cake were excellent. I received several compliments on all of the food and the cake. Many people said it was the best wedding food they had ever had (including the cake).
This was the best experience and I couldn't have been happier on my wedding day. Heather and The Cafe Escadrille made my wedding day PERFECT!
The cafe Escadrille helped us have a great wedding. We received so many compliments. The food was great, the cake was great, the service was great, they checked with me throughout the night to see how everything was going. My favorite thing was the room and appetizers that was just for the wedding party. It was really appreciated by my husband and I and all of the wedding party. Also, loved, loved the ice cream sundae bar :)
THE STAFF IS AMAZING AND HELPFULTHE VENUE IS BEAUTIFUL
I can't speak highly enough about our experience with Cafe Escadrille, or more specifically Kellie, the coordinator we worked with. We were lucky enough to work with one person the entire year of the planning process. She was quick to respond, eager to please and accomodated every request. The food was fantastic and the service exceeded our expectations. The Escadrille also makes their own wedding cakes and it was the best I've ever had! I would use them for another function again in a heartbeat!
Our experience at Cafe Escadrille for our Aug. 2008 wedding was fantastic. Bob, the coordinator, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The venue is beautiful and the staff is incredibly involved and dedic ated to making your day special. All of our guests still rave about our food and the chocolate fountain. It was a bit pricey, but worth every penny!!!
The Manager Mario was great. He made sure everything for my wedding was perfect in anyway possible. I known Mario for about a year, but went to his restaurant for 8 years great food, waiter & waitress are excellent. Best place to have a reception.
