La Fête is a French-inspired ballroom on University Avenue in downtown Provo, about a five-minute walk from the Provo City Center Temple. It publishes its rate card, includes 180 chairs and a planner in every rental, and lets couples bring any licensed, insured vendor, which makes it one of the downtown options for a sealing, a luncheon and a reception without moving cars.
All details below are from La Fête's own website, checked November 2, 2026. The walking distance is from OpenStreetMap routing.

The rules that shape the day
Any vendor, if licensed and insured. Cooking on site generally isn't allowed, including crock pots; chafing dishes are fine, and other equipment needs approval in advance.
Alcohol through La Fête. Alcohol must be served by the venue's bartenders with a security guard. The $300 fee doesn't cover the alcohol or the bartenders, event insurance is required, and only open bars are allowed.
Send-offs: no petals, confetti or silly string. Sparklers and bubbles work outside; LED wands and ribbons inside or out. Everything you bring leaves with you.
Out by midnight. Guests and vendors must be gone by 12 a.m.
On a temple day
This is La Fête's strongest point. By OpenStreetMap walking routes it is about 0.25 mile, roughly five minutes, from the Provo City Center Temple, the same as the Utah Valley Convention Center and closer than The Ivory Hall or White Willow. The wedding party gets 15 dedicated parking spots beside the building, and two large garages next door are free for guests, which matters on a downtown Saturday. The luncheon block (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) fits after a morning sealing, and the all-day block covers a luncheon and the reception. Our guide to sealings at the Provo City Center Temple covers the temple side of the day.
Touring
Book a tour through the venue's site, or call (385) 585-1040 or email info@lafetevenue.com. Ask for the first-payment amount and cancellation terms, and how a ceremony fits in the room.
Our reception venue prices guide puts La Fête beside other venues that publish rates, and reception centers city by city lists the rest of downtown Provo. Sign every term in writing; our vendor contracts guide explains what to check.
