PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF CAFE ESCADRILLE HERE TOGETHER THE BALLROOM, THE DINING, THE PLANNING—CAFE ESCADRILLE COVERS EVERY ANGLE OF YOUR DREAM WEDDING. Finding the man or woman of your dreams is no small feat. But finding the perfect spot in which to celebrate your nuptials—plus all of the accompanying ven- dors—can be overwhelming. That's why Cafe Escadrille, which opened its doors almost four decades ago, is the perfect one-stop shop for brides and grooms who want the ease of a wedding planner with the reputation of an award-winning, family-owned restaurant. "Most of our prospective clients visit because of word-of- mouth: Our food is just delicious," says Jessica Reynolds, who manages functions for the Burlington, Massachusetts, event space. "It's nice knowing that when you come here to dine, you can get that same fare at your wedding reception, including a custom wedding cake and accompanying chocolate fountain, since our executive chef oversees all menus." Cafe Escadrille also handles guests' beverage, transportation, and vendor management needs, including hotel referrals (there are three within a quarter-mile of the venue), and says that it sees many repeat guests—not just in the restaurant itself, but when couples return for baby showers and anniversary dinners. "The Escadrille truly becomes part of their family," says Reynolds. And what's more important than that? 26 Cambridge St., Burlington, 781-273-1916; cafeescadrille.com . BRIDAL RECEPTION PERFECTION
