FAQ

How many people can sit inside and outside at La Cabane?

La Cabane Restaurant is ideally suited for weddings of 90 to 130 guests, offering a warm, rustic and elegant atmosphere. The venue can accommodate up to 200 guests seated, making it a flexible option for larger celebrations while maintaining its inviting mountain ambiance.

A tent is rarely required at La Cabane Restaurant. The spacious outdoor terraces are ideal for open-air celebrations and cocktail receptions, offering breathtaking views of the Mont-Blanc during the warmer months. From June to September, the weather generally allows full use of the outdoor spaces without additional structures. In spring, early autumn, and winter, celebrations are comfortably hosted indoors, where the warm atmosphere of the Finnish-style chalet and panoramic mountain views create a cozy and elegant setting, making a tent unnecessary year-round.

La Cabane Restaurant offers in-house, high-end catering centered on local and seasonal ingredients from the Chamonix region. The venue proposes a selection of fixed menus inspired by Alpine and refined French cuisine, and couples are invited to attend a tasting to choose their preferred dishes and create their final menu combination. Dietary preferences such as vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options can be accommodated.

Dancing at La Cabane Restaurant is permitted until 3:30 AM and takes place indoors, within the spacious Finnish-style chalet. The interior can be fully transformed into a dance floor, allowing couples and guests to celebrate late into the night in a warm, weather-proof setting.

Ceremonies at La Cabane Restaurant can be held indoors or outdoors, offering flexibility throughout the year. The warm, intimate indoor space is ideal for winter weddings, while the panoramic terraces facing the Mont-Blanc massifprovide a stunning setting for outdoor ceremonies during the warmer months and, weather permitting, even in cooler seasons.

La Cabane Restaurant does not offer on-site accommodation, but a wide range of hotels, luxury chalets, and vacation rentals are available just minutes away in Chamonix. With many options nearby, private shuttle services can easily be arranged, ensuring smooth and convenient transportation for guests.

The best time to get married in Chamonix depends on the atmosphere you envision. Summer weddings from June to September are ideal for outdoor ceremonies, with long daylight hours, lush alpine scenery, and pleasant temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C. Winter weddings from December to April offer a magical snowy backdrop and a true alpine winter ambiance, with colder temperatures typically between -10°C and 10°C.

To marry legally in France, at least one partner must be a resident and registered at the local Mairie prior to the wedding. Some churches may conduct religious ceremonies for international couples without civil registration. As a result, most couples complete the legal formalities in their home country and choose a symbolic ceremony in France, allowing them to focus fully on the celebration without legal constraints.

It is recommended to book La Cabane Restaurant 12 to 18 months in advance, particularly for weddings planned during Chamonix’s peak seasons from June to September and December to April. Couples considering spring or autumn dates may benefit from greater availability and more flexible booking conditions.

The closest major airport to Chamonix is Geneva International Airport (GVA), located approximately 1 hour by car. Well connected to major international cities, Geneva Airport is the most convenient option for guests traveling from abroad. From the airport, private transfers, taxis, or rental cars provide easy and scenic access to Chamonix through the French Alps.

Testimonials

Lucy & Shao

All we can say is WOW. When we decided on a destination wedding, the very first thing we did was look for a Planner. We spoke with a few, and found Monica of Haute Hedding to be immediately helpful, unfailingly efficient, knowledgeable, kind, and totally lovely – she has a warm relaxed energy which was essential in general but in particular later down the line when wedding planning started to get a little stressful.

You begin the journey with an exploratory call together, and the venues Monica returned with were perfect. She knows her stuff, that’s for sure! When planning a destination wedding your time out in your country of choice is precious, which is why it’s so important to have a bilingual local with strong relationships as your Planner.

Monica surpassed all of our expectations and we still have guests weeks after the event gushing about how it was the best wedding they have ever been to. It was, indeed, also the best wedding WE had ever been to, so we feel beyond grateful that it was our own!! We are totally blown away, and still floating on Cloud 9 weeks later. Monica, you are an angel sent from heaven, thank you for everything, you hold a special place in our hearts.

Anna & Cecile,

Thank you both SO MUCH for all of your help in making our wedding day happen. Andrew and I can both confidently say that it wouldn’t have been possible without each of you. You both have this calming energy that makes even the biggest tasks seem simple and achievable, which during the stress of wedding planning is seriously so valuable. We can’t wait to share the pictures with you and look forward to catching up next time we are in Chamonix.

All the best,

I hope you could see last Saturday how MUCH we both enjoyed the day!! I was all just magic and beyond even our all expectations. We are speechless (which does not really happen that often with me).

Also from my half, the words really feel insufficient to describe our gratitude to you, Magali. How perfectly everything went and how we got our absolute dream wedding! We will need still a few weeks, probably months (!!!) to digest our magical day.  As we said, words just feel really insufficient to express our thankfulness with its all magnitude.

We are so thankful for all the hard work you put in for our special day ️ I couldn’t ever dream for more magical wedding in Chamonix –  Merci du fond du cœur.

Every wedding we design in the French Alps begins with listening. In a mountain setting, true luxury is found in balance, between nature and comfort, structure and freedom, elegance and authenticity. Our role is to create celebrations that feel immersive, fluid, and grounded in their surroundings.

Our planning approach is:

  • Bespoke – each celebration is designed from the ground up, never replicated

  • Refined yet meaningful – understated aesthetics rooted in your story and the setting

  • Discreet and steady – so you can stay present and fully enjoy the journey

Whether you are planning an intimate mountain elopement or a multi-day celebration in a luxury chalet or alpine estate, we guide you through every step with clarity, care, and a deep understanding of the region
