I can't even begin to speak volumes about how great the team at Mon Cheri is! My husband's sister had her banquet at Mon Cheri and spoke highly of Vivian. After considering a few o...
ther venues, we were sold by the level of service and attention that Vivian gives to you from the moment you book their venue and by the pricing and package. The venue is simple and cute and they recently did some new additions to the place (white drapings, crystal chandeliers, chiavari chairs). One of my favorite features are the rosetta backdrops on both stages of each side of the dance floor.
Since we were on a tight budget, I didn't hire a wedding coordinator since I'm used to running events at work (though not as such a large scale - final was 260 people) and we did almost everything DIY (centerpieces, decoration, cake). Each meeting, Vivian gave us extremely valuable advice on how we could save money (and some recommendations that my husband didn't listen to) and reminded us of things we might have forgotten. When we came to the week of, Vivian was there for anything we needed! We dropped stuff off on Thursday and Friday. I walked her through a few things, but she took the initiative to set up our backdrop, sweetheart table and dessert table with the decorations I provided. I didn't have exact instructions for those, but gave her a rough idea and she and her assistant, Cathy, absolutely blew us away!! They did amazing!! I was in awe of the way she laid out our sweetheart and the added touch of clipping our pre-wedding photos on the tree branches for entrance photos!
By nature, I tend to try to control things and try to take care of people and anticipate needs. Vivian was always one step ahead of me and taking care of everything. I never had to worry about a thing and made for a completely stress free day! Vivian is such a sweetheart and great at what she does. The food is also delicious - guests were so pleased! Service is also the best!!
This venue is located in a strip mall next to Chase Bank. However, don't let that fool you. The venue is very modern inside.The venue comes with a day of cordinator. My cordinator...

eautiful!! The place comes with day of coordinator who is organized and amazing (day of coordinator.. but really, she helps you throughout the planning process!). She took really good care of us and we loved her! The program ran so smoothly thanks to her. The staff, bartenders and security were really patient and friendly to all of our guests. Thank you Mon Cheri!
Event:
What I love about this place is they told you that they will customize your event to however you want and they will help you put it together. We asked for a small ceremon...
y, then follow by reception and Vivian (the event organizer from the restaurant) organized a lovely ceremony for us on the stage.
Food:
During the our food tasting, we found the food can be better. ie: the sea cucumber was cut way too big, the lobster had too much batter on it and way too greasy, and there were a lot of MSG added in the food. After the tasting, we communicated all these issues with the chef and Vivian; they promised they will modified the food to more to our taste and they DID! EVERYONE LOVED THE FOOD, no one complained about a single dish. I just loved it when Vivian told me "No wedding is the same here, we will cater to your taste". After all these modification, their food transformed from "Just okay" to AWESOME from our friends who also went through the tasting with us. This is one of the big plus, because I know no many restaurants are willing to change their style of cooking.
watch out for the menu item, it is not what it said it would be.
two items on the menu did not came out with the the ingredients they said will be in there:
Shark Fin, Fresh Crabmeat with Asparagus Soup - There is no asparagus in the soup
Shrimp, Scallops, and Walnuts in Special Sauce - Scallops? Where? I tried it twice there and I am unable to find any scallops, just a lot of shrimp
The Peking Duck is to die for. Both my husband and I were glad that we got to tried it again on our wedding day. ( we were both worry we are not going to taste it again) :D
Decoration:
They already have some pretty decorations in the place, but in order to make it even better, we added some of our own. They allow you to change it up to however you like. They even let you add stuff to the decorations they have.
Bridal room:
The changing room is huge and secured compared to all the other venues I checked.
Bar:
One thing we are looking for when deciding which venues to go with is if they allow you to bring in your own alcohol and you can with mon cheri.. It had made our guests happy and saved us some money.
However, I am not sure it is because we brought in our own wine or they just don't offer this...the sever did not go around each table to offer wine to our guests, so my guests had to walked their wine glass to the bar area to get their own wine and all the other weddings I had been to always had a server pour wine for us.
Services:
I would suggest to them to split the plates for the rectangular head table or have a server standing by just to serve the food for the head table. None of my guest of honor can reached their food, because this was not the traditional round table with lazy Susan on it. Everyone had to get up and walked around the table with their plate in order to get the food. The server didn't really put food on the plate until asked. Then they put rest of food so far away that no one else can reached them unless they get up and walk to it.
I am specially unhappy with the security guard after our reception is over. We had a luncheon at Mon Cheri and we were aware that we have to clear out by 3:15. However, according to my guests the security guard kept rushing them out when it was only 2:30! I think it is EXTREMELY RUDE of them to do.
