THEY TRUSTED US

A huge THANK YOU to the entire Alicevenement team for their incredible work on our wedding.

We are especially grateful because they were extremely attentive and supported us with a rather uncommon request (we had a specific dish in mind for our wedding dinner). We were absolutely delighted with the result, and our guests showered us with compliments. Everything was simply excellent!

Alicia went far beyond our expectations and played a key role in the overall organization of our wedding. She found solutions for us on numerous occasions and brought all her energy and kindness to help us approach everything as calmly as possible. God knows how stressful planning a wedding can be, and she truly was our best ally. We would not hesitate to call on her again for other occasions 🙂

In short, if you’re looking for a gem, she is it!

A huge thank you to Alicevenement, who were truly exceptional on our wedding day.

Our main concern when selecting a caterer was consistency between the tasting and the wedding, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything was beautifully presented and very refined. We received compliments from all our guests.

The service was incredible—highly professional, always smiling, and extremely well-organized. As newlyweds, it’s such a relief to know that everything is taken care of, especially when the weather played a decisive role in the day’s organization.

A big thank you to the entire team, who went far beyond our expectations.
