I had my wedding there in December 2015. Everything from wedding planning and coordinating to the…read moreend of the actual wedding went smoothly. Working with my wedding coordinator was amazing as well. Guests absolutely LOVED the food. I went to the food tasting beforehand and picked out what i wanted. One thing i want to add- i received many complaints from guests. The menu i chose for my guests included a fruit and cheese bar while guests were being served drinks. However, ALL of my guests did NOT see the fruit/cheese bar set up on the other side of the ballroom. After about 30 minutes of mingling and drinking, some of the guests noticed the waiters taking the UNTOUCHED and UNEATEN fruit/cheese. One of my guests asked the waiter if some of them could grab a few things from the huge platter, but they were told that they couldn't. So basically- my husband and i paid for a nice fruit and cheese bar that was taken to the kitchen... Uneaten. We probably wasted a few hundred dollars on just that... That is probably the only complaint i have about this Venue. Other than that, my wedding was absolutely beautiful and went so smoothly. I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the fruit and cheese display incident!

Nice space. Clean. Well lit. Open architecture with Romantic French Country features. An expansive…read morechapel with cathedral ceiling, ample sized bridal room to accommodate the makeup artist & hair talent as well as comfortable seating for the bridal party and spaces to change. A very long mirror with bar seating for last minute hair primping and lip gloss reapply. This is my second wedding guest visit to this venue for a medium sized 200+ guest wedding. As other Yelpers have mentioned form and function. This venue gets the form right. My experience is as a humble guest who attends several weddings a year. Not in expertise by opinion only: Where ASG improved from a previous wedding reception was the staff seemed more capable. Where the experience echoed or fell down comparatively to a previous wedding reception and tonight was operations or function. What do I mean? The chapel is beautiful, the reception hall is expansive and the experience as a guest at the reception was somewhat surprisingly sad and disappointing. What do I mean? Function: No guests guidance. Tonight for 200+ guests things were quirky & seemed off with service. Function: There was no discernible heat in the reception area. It remained that way for the duration. No management visible to kindly discreetly dialogue. I looked. Function: One server at a buffet table, serving 200+ guests. Function: Kitchen service was slow. Form: Food was tasty. Rolls were excellent. Form: Staff seemed more capable but still unenthusiastic or engaging. Still a plus. Context: The MC spaced tables adequately but the que did not move much waiting on replenishment and being a one woman show. I want to be positive and fair. This repeats previous observation. Summing it up: I would recommend this place with a cautionary note about the food service and lack luster experience of ghosted senior staff members. I'm no expert. My take is in experience only. I wish all well. Pretty venue. Make sure your expectations are realistic to what the venue can actually achieve. Best wishes to all.

I want to express my deep disappointment with the management at La Fontaine. We have used this…read moreballroom for multiple events over the years, including my own wedding, but this recent experience was by far the worst. Our niece's 15th party on 7/12 had several issues starting with the setup. Two main decor features listed in the contract were not installed. When we raised this with the manager on duty, Mr. Sergio , we were told these features were missing and too late to be set up. The decor manager should have proactively informed us about the shortfall and arranged a credit for the missing items, but no communication was made. The decor manager did not hold any accountability that she list some decor in the ballroom. The maintenance of the ballroom also showed a significant decline. Four industrial portable AC units were in use--was this communicated beforehand? Was the main AC not functioning? If so, should we receive compensation for this? Additionally, many ceiling tiles had visible water stains hidden behind fabric. Why weren't these replaced? It feels like an attempt to hide the damage. The gold glass tables inside were dirty and not cleaned before the event as well. Customer service at the bar was equally disappointing. The bartender, Patricia, displayed a poor attitude, was slow, and lacked the energy expected in her role. My father-in-law even had to step behind the bar to help because of her slow service, which offended her. She also cut people off arbitrarily, handling the situation poorly and causing discomfort for many guests. A bartender should be upbeat, efficient, and courteous, none of which were evident. On a positive note, the manager Sergio was great trying to resolve these issues, though the decor manager did not support him well and clearly needs retraining on client communication and decor management. Overall, this experience was hugely disappointing, especially given the high price and reputation La Fontaine portrays was not refilled and run down. I hope my feedback is taken seriously to improve the quality of service in the future.
