What is a small wedding at a French restaurant?
A small wedding is a celebration for both families and your closest friends — instead of hundreds of banquet tables, one private room, one carefully set table and a French menu served course by course. Everyone is seated, everyone is served at their place, and the couple has time to speak with every guest. At Maison Vie the kitchen is led by Executive Chef Joel F. Tisserand — 40 years across France, England, China and Southeast Asia — cooking French technique on Vietnamese terroir: Nha Trang tuna, Tam Đảo forest mushrooms, Phú Quốc vanilla.
From birthday tables to weddings: a ritual the team already knows
In August and September 2026, birthdays were the note guests left most often when booking online at Maison Vie — 7 bookings — alongside notes for wedding anniversaries. Each of those tables is prepared like a ceremony: fresh flowers, golden candles, a menu printed with the guest's name and a birthday cake made by Chef Joel himself.
A small wedding is the same spirit at the scale of a room: a private space, décor tailored to your request and a French menu for the day that matters. Couples who marry here can return every year for their wedding anniversary — the same kitchen, the same team.
