I held my small wedding reception at Cathédrale in The Patio (30 guests), and overall it was such a special night.
The Patio is a beautiful enclosed space—intimate, elegant, and perfect for a private event. I would absolutely love to come back for a summer celebration when it’s warmer and the space is open. Unfortunately, the heaters weren’t turned on during our event and it was very cold. Most of my guests had to keep their coats on. We requested multiple times for the heaters to be turned on and were told someone would handle it, but it never happened, which was disappointing.
That said, the planning process was wonderful. Working with Andrea and then Genna was seamless from start to finish. They scheduled tours of the spaces with me, walked me through the event packages, and helped curate an intimate evening with great food and drinks. They made the process feel easy and exciting.
Massiel, one of the managers, was communicative and kind leading up to the event. I dropped off custom menus (even though they provide beautiful printed menus for events), favors, and décor the night before, and her team truly outdid themselves with the setup. She also helped us get our music connected without any stress.
The staff overall was amazing. Every hostess I encountered was warm and welcoming. The wait staff was incredible and handled our family-style meal beautifully. Toward the end of the night, as the restaurant got busier, drink service slowed down a bit—but the team did their best to remain responsive and attentive.
Meal highlights: the bread (so good!), salade verte, filet mignon, branzino, and sautéed spinach. The chef and team delivered excellent food across the board. The premium bar package and macaron tower were absolutely worth it.
The champagne tower was a lovely visual touch, but I was under the impression (based on how it was presented on the event menu) that we would be able to pour into it during a toast. I was told it was unsteady so it ended up being mostly decorative, and I probably wouldn’t include it again.
Liam was our main host that evening. While he helped accommodate our requests and kept the night running smoothly, he could have been a bit warmer—some of my guests didn’t love his customer service. He also repeatedly called my husband Rob instead of Rod, which was frustrating on our wedding night. Because of this, I ended up doing most of the speaking with him instead of my husband to avoid confusion.
Overall, despite a few hiccups, we had a beautiful and memorable evening with great food, a stunning space, and a team that truly helped bring our vision to life. Note - All photos by Mira (My Muse Photo) and florals/votives by Jaisheema (Petals and Beyond).
