The tall rectangular hall with a raised platform for the amariya.
The fenced outdoor area with the fixed mechoui pit.
A separate room for the bride's outfit changes.
The expanded halal kitchen with extra gas burners.
“The mechoui pit outside was the reason my father chose this hall, he wanted the lamb cooked the traditional way and that was simply possible here, with the smell drifting across the whole grounds.”
“Yassmina Bouazza switched effortlessly between French and Arabic when my in-laws arrived from Marseille, and also arranged a neggafa for the outfit changes. Very pleasant that nothing needed translating.”
“The raised platform for the amariya at the bride's arrival really created a moment of stillness in the hall, everyone looked up. Exactly the effect we wanted.”
“The extra gas burners in the kitchen made it possible to prepare tagines for 240 guests at once, and everything reached the tables on time. The all-female service team we'd asked for was genuinely there, not an empty promise.”
“Free parking and fully alcohol-free, exactly what my uncle needed to feel at ease. The loading doors that swing open onto the mechoui terrace are a nice touch.”
“One small note: in rain the mechoui terrace was less pleasant to stand on, but the main hall itself more than made up for that with its height and the platform.”
