Short answer: If you want a wedding that feels like Europe, not a warehouse, La Fête in downtown Provo is the venue for 2027. It's French-inspired and classically elegant without going over the top. Better, it's a 4-minute walk from the Provo City Center Temple, seats 180 (250+ standing), and packages start at $2,300 with complimentary wedding planning included.
A different kind of beautiful
Plenty of venues are buildings that were made for something else, with exposed brick, concrete floors and industrial ductwork overhead. La Fête isn't that. It doesn't feel like a car dealership, a factory or a barn. It feels like a place to celebrate a wedding.
The style is understated on purpose, so you can tell your story in our space. The room doesn't compete with your flowers, your colors or your people. It frames them. It's light and airy, with simple white walls, picture-frame moldings, herringbone floors and clean white ceilings. Owner Wade built it and his daughter Chloe curated it, all within a classic 1928 building in historic downtown Provo. We call it "a classically inspired space where every detail feels intentional," built to feel "elevated without feeling overly formal (or dated)." Our 4,000 sq ft ballroom has a mantel and built-in bookcases as natural focal points, two floral pillars, Frame TVs and custom dance-floor lighting. Light pours in through the east windows in the morning. The result is "timeless sophistication without the stiffness."
Made to be photographed
Step outside and your photographer has the historic downtown streetscape right there. The Provo City Center Temple is a 4-minute walk away, and while most temples have one or two good sides for photos, this one has four. Couples finish the sealing, do portraits downtown, and walk in while guests are already settling. No shuttles, no lost golden hour. Inside, the white walls, moldings, mantel and bookcases make backdrops that won't date, and the bridal room's big Anthropologie mirror is a photographer favorite.
Every space is yours, with the important amenities
Your booking gives you "exclusive access to all our spaces": the 4,000 sq ft ballroom, the serving room and kitchen, the bridal suite and the family lounge. The bridal room has two prep stations, a couch, a dress hook and clothes rack. The family lounge (our party room) is deliberately separate from the ballroom, an oasis for parents, grandparents and kids. Straight from our pricing page, your rental includes:
Up to 11 hours of access: Morning, midday, or evening start, until 10 PM, with setup and takedown included in your time. Choose the package you need.
Tables & Chairs: 18 wooden tables, a sweetheart table with a settee, 180 chairs, a cake table, and 5 cocktail tables.
Serving Room & Kitchen: Separate serving room with 2 large marble tables, plenty of prep space, commercial fridge, and ice maker.
Open Vendor Policy: Hire whoever you want to complete your day's experience. Vendors must be licensed and insured.
180 Seated/250+ Standing: Sized to fit your celebration, from close family and friends to the whole entourage.
State-of-the-Art AV: Frame TVs, a professional microphone, and a basic PA system for background music or speeches.
Mantel & Built-in Bookcases: Plenty of focal points for decorating as you tell your story. Also includes two floral pillars.
Preferred Floral Pricing: Bespoke florals from Kennedy's in-house studio, at rates reserved for La Fête couples.
Bridal Suite & Family Lounge: A fully appointed suite for the bride and a large lounge where family can relax.

Decor Package, $300: rent our entire inventory of vases, centerpieces, votives, frames and serving plates. Nothing to buy, haul or store.
DJ Booth, $350: a DIY booth with dance lighting, a Shure wireless mic and an iPad for Spotify or Apple Music. Upgraded in fall 2026.
Media Booth, $200: a rolling 65" screen for slideshows and missionary videos.
Soda Bar, $100: a rolling bar that matches the room, so you don't need plastic tables and linens.
Invitation Package, $300+: custom design and printing.
In-house florist discount: Kennedy, our in-house florist with 12+ years of experience, gives La Fête couples a discount on bespoke florals.
Prefer to skip the DJ Booth? Our in-house sound system is free to use.
Free planning and day-of coordination
Complimentary wedding planning, on-site consultations and basic day-of coordination come with every booking. A dedicated event host stays with you all day, welcomes guests who don't attend the sealing, handles cleanup after you leave, and lines everyone up for your sparkler, bubble or ribbon send-off.
