Amazing Wedding Experience
We got married this past June 2024 and we wouldn't have done it anywhere else. We had about 200-220 guests and we reserved the Salle des Nations
The whole team were exceptional. Joe the owner was very reliable and quick to respond to my many emails. He was also there the whole night to make sure everything ran smoothly.
The cocktail for our guest was outdoors while we took our pictures in the nearby parks
The staff working that night made sure we (bride & groom) were well taken care of, made sure our food was ok, we have enough drinks during the whole night
We had a few people with food restrictions and Joe & staff made sure everyone's meal were as requested. My guests even told me they were impressed that they were well taken care of! Food was also delicious & quantities were impressive!
Our grandparents had access to an elevator due to limited mobility and they were very well taken care of.
If I had a sibling or you are getting married soon, I would highly recommend Le Challenger

Fantastic Service!
Joe and The Challenger made our wedding experience better than we could have ever expected. Everything was so beautiful and ran smoothly. And they made sure that us and our bridal parties were being served food and drinks, even when we were with the rest of our guests (away for photos, or just to take a break). Highly recommended!!

Wedding at Le Challenger
I'm sure we were a bit annoying planning our wedding as we had many questions, planning a wedding during a pandemic was rough. Joe was always responsive and willing to help, and he allowed us to postpone our wedding several months due to the pandemic. The venue is stunning, the food was delicious, our guests were so happy with the food. I only wish I had been able to eat more and enjoy the food, but I was busy! We plan to return to the restaurant for our anniversary. Thank you for everything!

The BEST Food and Service
All our guests were impressed with the food and service. We also had some strict vegans who required special dishes, and they were also very impressed with the quality of the food. The team was very responsive to our needs and helped us decorate the hall exactly how we wanted. The area is also surrounded by beautiful greenery and parks making post-ceremony pics easy and accessible. Plus, with the pandemic, the hall was highly adaptive and flexible when we had to change our dates. An incredible experience that we highly recommend.
