    L'Auberge Chez Francois and Jacques Brasserie were the perfect venues for our wedding celebration. From our initial conversations, the team was attentive, responsive, and provided detailed information to help us plan our special day. The spaces were elegant, spacious, and intimate, creating the perfect ambiance for our wedding. The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide range of options to choose from, and they were very accommodating of our needs. Communication throughout the planning process was excellent, and the team ensured everything ran smoothly on the day of our wedding. We are so grateful to L'Auberge Chez Francois and Jacques Brasserie for helping to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.
