    Amazing venue with gorgeous views for all to enjoy. Outside waterfront location is amazing and there are so many options to choose from.

    Amazing waterfront venue in such a quaint town. LaBanque de Fleuve is by far such a beautiful venue with the offering of both an indoor and outdoor setting to choose from. Kim is very accommodating and helpful making your day special. Kim keeps the venue pristine and provides a lifetime of memories.

    Wedding During Tropical Storm Ophelia

    We fell in love with la Banque de fleuve two years ago when we decided to book our wedding there. Long story short we knew there was going to be rain on our wedding day. But then the rain turned into a tropical storm (#Ophelia). Not the ideal scenario for an outdoor tented venue. The week before the wedding Kim was looking at the weather forecast at all hours throughout the night. Then three days before the wedding we made the joint decision to hold the reception at the Bank and do the ceremony outside under a second tent we had rented. Kim completely revamped the plans to create an intimate cocktail party/ night club vibe. The guests could not stop talking about how fun the reception was! We broke up our buffet into two food stations and had tables with chairs as well as cocktail tables. We used the vault area for dessert and Photo Booth. The wedding turned out wonderfully and it actually stopped raining when I walked down the aisle. We are so grateful for Kim and the rest of the team for their ability to adapt under theses circumstances. Kim is wonderful to work with and always puts her clients first. This was an amazing experience that we will remember forever!

    Perfection

    My son was married at La Banque de Fleuve at the Seaplane Base on 9/10/23. The weather co-operated to make this a perfect day. Kim was so helpful and attentive, even assuring us of an inclement weather back-up plan. We couldn’t have asked for a more magical day! The waterfront views make for an absolutely stunning backdrop for photos! I can’t recommend this venue enough!

    The Perfect Day

    We were married 5/20/23 at the seaplane at la banque. It was an amazing day and an amazing experience completely to work with Kim at La Banque! From the start to finish everything went smoothly and even the weather pulled through! Most of our vendors were chosen off of Kim’s and the venue’s preferred vendor list and I totally understand why! Everyone worked together so well and made it such an easy experience. The view is unbeatable and we loved our everything is in one location. Our guest enjoyed the deck and walking down the pier. We were able to have a cigar bar which was a must for our fathers! The venue is perfect for an intimate wedding or large wedding (we had 115). Our guest are still raving about the venue and how perfect our day was!

    Amazing Venue!

    We got married at La Banque de Fleuve (Sea Plane Base) in May 2023 and had the best experience! The venue is huge and absolutely beautiful. All of our guests were so complimentary of it. Kim is the best to work with - she is super knowledgeable and helpful with every step of the process. We also just attended our friends' wedding here and everything was perfect. Would absolutely recommend La Banque!

    Perfect Day

    I can not say enough amazing things about Kim and Caitlyn. These ladies put so much work into making our day seamless. They knew I wanted to have our ceremony on the water, and the weather cooperated right in the nick of time, these ladies made it happen! We had an absolutely perfect day.

    Beautiful Venue

    What a great intimate venue inside of an old granite bank, complete with the old vault remaining. We loved the layout here with the two story ceilings, balcony level and plenty of room for our caterer and other vendors to set up food and a bar area. Kim is
    a pleasure to work with and was very accommodating with our needs.

    Beautiful Venue, Wonderful Staff

    Kim made our day all that we wanted and more. She is friendly, helpful, and so knowledgeable. She was very flexible and accommodating when we had to change some things due to COVID. The venue is gorgeous and we couldn’t be happier with our choice to get married there.

    Beautiful venue and professional staff!

    With only a month to spare, my husband and I came across La Banque De Fleuve. From the day we contacted this venue to the day of our wedding, the owner, Kim went above and beyond to make sure that our day was special. Kim truly loves what she does and it shows in her attention to detail, professionalism, wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for event planning. She was with us every step of the way and gave us recommendations to make things easier on us. Thanks so much Kim and La Banque De Fleuve! If you’re looking for an amazing venue in Havre de Grace, this is definitely the place! Highly recommend!

    Just The Best!

    Because of COVID, we had to move our wedding from DE to MD semi-last minute, and it ended up being the best decision we could have made. Kim was incredible to work with and the venue is just stunning. There was nothing more we could have asked for because Kim and her team were there every step of the way with advice and creative ideas.

    A beautiful venue!

    Kim is absolutely wonderful. She's so easy to work with and you can tell that she wants to make your special day as wonderful as possible. She offered to help me anywhere I needed help, and had great suggestions for areas I was unsure about. Upon booking the venue, Kim gave us a list of vendors in the area that have been approved by the venue which was incredibly helpful. The venue is absolutely beautiful too. I could not imagine having my wedding anywhere else. It's in the heart of Havre de Grace, right on the water so the view is spectacular.

    Perfect venue

    Me and my husband met Kim at a First Friday event in Havre de Grace last summer. She was outside on the patio of the venue hanging out and we were just admiring the view from the venue and started a conversation with her. We had originally wanted to get married somewhere else but after talking with Kim we chose La Banque and we are so glad we did! I grew up in Havre de Grace and I’m so blessed to have been able to get married at such a beautiful venue. Kim was super easy to work with! Our wedding day was perfect! Thank you Kim! 😊

    La Banque Boasts Two of the Areas Most Stunning Venues!

    La Banque de Fleuve has two gorgeous, unique, and welcoming venues. The team at Eleven Courses, can’t recommend La Banque enough! The inside venue is full of historic charm and beauty. The outside venue (La Banque at Seaplane Base) has breathtaking water views, an incredible patio and beautiful tent. Both of La Banque’s venues are without a doubt, two of our favorites. We have partnered with Kim, the owner of the venue, La Banque for many years and she is an absolute dream. She is responsive, exudes positivity, and takes a hands-on approach with her clients, making sure that their wedding or event is perfect.

    Gorgeous venue!

    We had such a beautiful February wedding and that was due in no small part to the venue, La Banque. Unique and boasting an interesting interior that requires little in the way of decoration, we got so many compliments from our guests on our choice of venue. Kim was great and very responsive and flexible and even helped out with our disorganized wedding party of 33 during the rehearsal ceremony. Highly recommend!

    Havre de Grace brides, look no further!

    Beautiful location, incredible management! Kim, the venue owner, is amazing. “Wedding coordinator” isn’t her title but you’d never know it! She is incredibly attentive, quick with communication, and has her brides’ backs for whatever outside vendor issue may arise. I’m so thankful I had her support on my wedding day. Everything was perfect!!

    Higly Recommend La Banque at the Seaplane Base!

    First, Havre de Grace is the perfect historic small town location for a wedding. Having a wedding and reception venue like La Banque at the Seaplane Base right in town and on the Susquehanna River is just icing on the cake. Our daughter and son-in-law were married there this past Friday evening and we couldn’t have been happier with the venue and staff supporting the event. Kim was there from day one when we first visited the venue, and even provided wedding planner type services by making great recommendations for the wedding party entrance, and even managed the timing of their entrance during the actual wedding. She assisted us throughout the entire process and took much of the stress off of the planning and execution so that we could totally enjoy the event. Kim answered all of our questions and made sure the venue was beautifully prepared with all of the blooming flowers, plants and green space. The venue had plenty of room for our over 200 guests and Kim did everything she could to help us remain comfortable in the 95 degree heat. It is a bonus that La Banque has an ongoing relationship with MacGregor’s just several doors down for catering services. Kim and Nancy, MacGregor’s Catering Coordinator have a great working relationship, but we’ll save that for a separate review. If you are looking for a quaint small town feel for your wedding with a gorgeous river view, La Banque at the Seaplane Base is the venue for you. We highly recommend it and will spread the word.

    When looking for decor, something that was so special was how gorgeous this venue was without too much!!! The skyline, the water, the greenery, the flowers, all of it combined was just a gorgeous, perfect setting for our June wedding. Thanks Kim for all your help!!!

    I had my daughters wedding at Seaplane Base and this place is so beautiful. I fell in love from the minute I walked onto the property. Kim was easy to talk with about our needs and was so very helpful with ideas and support. The wedding was 2 months ago and I am still getting calls from my friends and family about how beautiful it was and how much they enjoyed the atmosphere and being near the water. What a success!!

    The venue has breath taking water views. It’s a wonderful location for any social gathering, including weddings.

    We got married at the outdoor venue, La Banque at the Seaplane base this past June. Kim was awesome to work with and was willing to help out in any way she could. She even let me have the entire bank venue to get ready in because no other event was taking place that day. She met with me on multiple occasions and stayed in contact with me throughout the process. We got nothing but amazing compliments on our venue choice (It did happen to be one of the best weather days all year), so we had that on our side as well. I would highly recommend La Banque and Kim! :)
