La Marbrerie can host seminars, product launches, press conferences, cocktail parties, dinners and private evenings for up to 650 guests standing or 330 seated, across nine spaces that can be hired together or separately. The venue is a former industrial building of 1,500 square meters at 21 rue Alexis Lepère in Montreuil, on the eastern edge of Paris, three minutes on foot from the Mairie de Montreuil metro station.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists seminars, private evenings, cocktail receptions, trade fairs, meals, meetings, press conferences and product presentations among the formats it takes. A company can book a single room for a working session or take the whole building for a large event. Space, equipment and staff come from one team: sound, lighting, video projection, fiber internet, a stage and furniture are available on site, along with stage managers, service staff, security, reception and cloakroom attendants.
Clients named by the venue include Google, Vinci, Société Générale, Red Bull, Orange, Ubisoft, Engie and SNCF, which gives a sense of the corporate events it already runs. Outside private hire, La Marbrerie keeps a public program of concerts, club nights, workshops and brunches, so it is worth checking dates early.
Rooms and capacities
The building has nine spaces that can be hired on their own or combined. The venue publishes floor areas for each one, and guest numbers only for the building as a whole: 650 standing and 330 seated.
La Grande Salle, the main hall with the stage, covers 250 square meters. Le Balcon above it adds 110 square meters. Le Foyer and Le Studio measure 150 square meters each and suit a cocktail, a lunch or a second plenary. Three workshops give room for breakout groups: Atelier 1, also used as the artists' dressing room, at 50 square meters, Atelier 2 at 25 and Atelier 3 at 55. La Loge VIP is a small room of 20 square meters for speakers or a green room. La Cour, an outdoor courtyard of 90 square meters, is available in the daytime only, until 6 p.m.
A common setup puts the plenary or show in the Grande Salle, workshops in the Studio and ateliers, and the reception in the Foyer or the courtyard. All spaces are accessible to guests with reduced mobility.
Catering
La Marbrerie runs its own kitchen and bar. The team cooks lunches, dinners, buffets and aperitifs on site and builds the menu around each event, and bar service is part of the offer. Organizers who prefer can bring an outside caterer instead. A catering brochure and a brochure of the spaces are available from the venue. The same kitchen serves the canteen and bar that are open to the public on ordinary days.
History and setting
The building was an industrial workshop and has kept that workshop character, with large volumes and raw materials, while the fittings have been updated. Today it works as a concert hall, canteen, music and dance studio, gallery and recording space, with artist residencies, rehearsals and classes. Metronomy, Tony Allen, Christine and the Queens and King Krule are among the artists who have played there. For a company event, that background means a real stage, a tested sound system and a crew used to running shows.
Getting there
La Marbrerie is at 21 rue Alexis Lepère, 93100 Montreuil. Take metro line 9 to Mairie de Montreuil, leave by the Boulevard Paul Vaillant-Couturier exit and walk two minutes. Bus lines 102, 115, 121, 129 and 322 stop nearby, and the N16 and N34 night buses run after the metro closes, which helps for late evenings. Contact the private hire team directly to check availability and plan the layout.
