The Maison des Cérémonies Familiales 2, known as MCF2, hosts conferences, seminars, product launches, team-building days and cocktails for up to 250 people, on the banks of the Seine in Alfortville, in the Val-de-Marne department. The building has two fully glazed reception rooms with a view of the river, a winter garden at the entrance and a mooring quay in front. Its first purpose is family ceremonies and private events for Alfortville residents, and companies are welcome as well.
Seminars and company events
The official site states that businesses use the space for conferences, seminars, product launches, team building and cocktails. Both rooms together hold 190 seated guests or 250 standing. For a plenary session or a conference, the large room is the natural choice, and the small room can serve as a breakout space, a reception desk or a catering area. The site lists optional services including audiovisual equipment, music, DJ, artists, indoor and outdoor games and a photo booth.
Because the venue gives priority to Alfortville residents for family events, ask the team early about availability on the dates you have in mind.
Weddings and receptions
The venue is designed for family ceremonies and private events. The large room seats 150 for lunch or dinner, and the small room seats 40. Optional services include tableware rental, floral decoration, music, DJ, artists and a photo booth. The official text does not use the word wedding, so confirm with the team that a wedding reception is accepted on your date.
Rooms and capacities
The Tino Rossi room measures 176 square meters, is fully glazed and looks onto the Seine. It seats 150 for lunch or dinner and holds 200 at a cocktail. The Edith Piaf room measures 48 square meters, is also fully glazed and looks onto the Seine. It seats 40 for lunch or dinner and holds 50 at a cocktail. The reception area and the winter garden spread over 90 square meters, with palms and exotic plants. Total capacity for the two rooms is 190 seated or 250 at a cocktail.
Catering
The venue keeps a list of approved caterers who signed a quality charter and know the premises. The site does not mention a kitchen for outside teams, so check the arrangements with the manager. Tableware rental is among the optional services.
