What Our Customers Say
Carolyn S., 8/9/2010
“My guy and I got engaged in Paris, so there would be no more perfect a place a place to get married than Maxim's. I am absolutely in love with the art nouveau style of this venue! Besides having fantastic decor, it is clear that this is going to be a super easy venue to work with.… Because this place is so beautiful and requires no decoration, I am not even planning on doing centerpieces.
The other great thing about this space that I absolutely loved is the floorplan… The foyer is the perfect location for the ceremony, and we will be doing just that.
Allen Nichols, the events manager, has been great to work with thus far… Wedding planning thus far has been easy breezy … I am so excited that we are having our wedding at this incredibly beautiful and unique space.”

“I looked at this place for our wedding reception. I loved the history behind the place (the Beatles partied here!). It definitely had that retro classy feel, red velour interior, grand piano, separate bar.”
