La Felicità hosts company parties, conventions, product launches, conferences, seminars, cocktails and team building, from 80 guests in a planted mezzanine to 2,000 with full private hire. The venue is an Italian food market of 4,500 square meters run by Big Mamma Group, at 5 Parvis Alan Turing, inside Station F in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells two formats. Full private hire gives a company the whole food market: several areas, bars, kitchens, a stage with DJ decks and a sound system, a dance floor and vintage furniture seating up to 1,000 people. Table football, pinball machines and two photo booths come with the space, and the team can add entertainment chosen for the group. This format suits summer and winter company parties, launches, conventions and large staff gatherings of up to 2,000 people.
Partial private hire covers events of up to 300 guests in the mezzanines or on the terrace. The venue suggests these spaces for conferences, seminars and team building as well as cocktails, and each comes with a microphone and a large screen for speeches, a sound system, dedicated staff, a layout adapted to the event and cleaning afterwards. A seminar can open with a working session and move on to lunch and drinks in the same building.
Weddings and receptions
The venue lists wedding brunches and large family gatherings among the private events it hosts. Full weddings are not described on the official site.
Rooms and capacities
The Biblioteca mezzanine overlooks the food market and the dance floor. It covers 200 square meters and takes 100 seated or 190 for a cocktail.
The Amazonia mezzanine, the most intimate space and fully planted, covers 165 square meters for 80 seated or 160 for a cocktail. The venue points to it for conferences and team building.
The Biblioteca combined with the Caffetteria area spreads over two levels and 250 square meters, for 190 seated or 300 for a cocktail.
The Terrazza, a shaded outdoor terrace of up to 250 square meters, takes 140 seated or 200 for a cocktail and is open until 11 p.m. in season, after which the party can continue inside.
Full private hire opens all 4,500 square meters for up to 2,000 guests.
Catering
All food is made in the venue's own kitchens by its chefs: fresh pasta, slow-cooked sauces, Neapolitan pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven and Italian desserts. Produce comes directly from long-standing suppliers in Italy, or from local producers when that is more sustainable. Menus run from breakfast to aperitivo and dinner, and each private hire includes a choice of catering formula, served from stands designed with the chefs for the event. Italian wines, prosecco and cocktails accompany every offer. Options include house-made gelato served from a cart, seasonal fruit baskets and extra cocktails.
History and setting
La Felicità belongs to Big Mamma Group, the company behind a number of Italian restaurants in Paris. The food market is open to the public every day, with a program of concerts, DJ sets, karaoke and family activities, so a partial private hire takes place alongside the public venue, while full private hire closes it for the group. The furniture was sourced from across Italy.
Getting there
The address is 5 Parvis Alan Turing, 75013 Paris, inside Station F. The venue is open to the public from early morning to late evening on weekdays and from noon at weekends, which matters when you plan setup times for a private event.
