Vie

One of the most beautiful wedding sites in the city is the Cescaphe Ballroom. The lofty cathedral ceilings, crystals draped in pearls, antiqued brass fittings, elegant columns, and a floor-to-ceiling bar provide a feeling of luxury in the grand style. The Cescaphe's stage is lit by candlelight, creating a naturally romantic ambiance. 

Guests will be delighted to see the Bride entering from the top of the grand staircase and amazing photoshoots from the Juliet Balconies. 

As part of their signature cocktail hour and a half, the Cescaphe Ballroom offers three different cocktail areas: 

• Garden Courtyard: It serves as the entrance to Cescaphe and as your first cocktail space
• Lounge Area: The Lounge Area is primarily used during the winter season.
• Main Cocktail room: This is the entrance to Cescaphe and as your first cocktail space. A four-balcony Main Cocktail Room overlooks the Grand Ballroom. It holds a chef-attended action station and a forty-foot mahogany food library that features a customizable ice sculpture, a famous raw bar, a full-service bar, and a baby grand player piano for soft background music. 

Expert's Tip:

If your planning to hold your ceremony in the outside courtyard at Vie, try to time the ceremony so the shadows created by the sun hitting the surrounding buildings don’t become an issue. It’s a beautiful location for a ceremony but I’ve had instances where the shadows literally divided the bride/groom and bridal party in half. This creates a problem for wide, storytelling images so keep this in mind.
