The Théâtre du Lido can be hired for up to 900 guests at a cocktail or a dance party and up to 700 guests in a plenary session followed by a cocktail. It is a cabaret and musical theater at 116 bis Avenue des Champs-Élysées in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, fully transformed in 2023.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells its space for award ceremonies, dance parties, cocktails, staff greetings, fashion shows, television and radio shows, and product launches. The plenary layout, for up to 700 guests, turns the auditorium into a conference or ceremony room with a stage, which suits a convention, a company announcement or a prize-giving that continues with a cocktail. The venue describes its space as entirely modular, so it can take on a range of event configurations rather than a single fixed layout.
The official page gives a direct telephone line and an email address for event and privatisation requests. Prepare the date, the number of guests, the format and any filming or broadcasting needs before you call.
Weddings and receptions
The official event page does not mention weddings, and the venue is presented for corporate, media and entertainment events. Private receptions and parties are possible within the formats listed, such as cocktails and dance evenings, but a wedding should be raised with the team before you plan around it.
Rooms and capacities
The event page names three spaces. The first is the auditorium, a room with a design the venue describes as unlike any other in Paris, between theater and cabaret, equipped with a rising stage with water fountains. It is shown in a plenary layout for up to 700 guests. The second is the same room in a cocktail configuration, which takes up to 900 guests standing or dancing. The third is the reception corridor, 35 meters long and covered in LED screens that can be customized for your brand or event. The venue also mentions a private lounge, with no capacity given on the page.
Catering
The official event page does not describe a catering offer, a caterer list or a chef. It lists cocktails among the event formats, and the site has a bar page. Ask the team what is provided in house, whether you may bring a caterer and how drinks are handled for a cocktail of several hundred guests.
History and setting
The Lido is a cabaret on the Champs-Élysées that reopened in 2023 after a full transformation. Its programming is now built around the musical, with productions such as Cabaret, Rocky Horror Show and Hello Dolly, and a season that continues with Singin' in the Rain. For an organiser, the setting is a working theater: the stage, the lighting and the technical equipment belong to a venue that stages large productions.
Getting there
The address is 116 bis Avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris. The nearest Metro station is George V on line 1, and Charles de Gaulle-Étoile, on line 1 and RER A, is also close. The avenue is one of the most direct routes from Paris's main train stations and from Charles de Gaulle airport by RER A.
