“Greg and I couldn’t be happier with the venue or the service that the Lake House Reception Center provided! We had recently been to another couple’s wedding at a popular venue in Baton Rouge. The food was terrible, the cake was terrible and the over all coordination of the wedding was lacking. Lauren guided me through every step and calmed my nerves about all my concerns. Lauren and her team were top notch!! We even caught a picture of her smiling while she was videoing our first day. Thank you so much for making our day even more special than we could imagine!”

Paradigm Gardens

5.0

“Our 100 person wedding at Paradigm Gardens in April of 2024 was perfect. For starters, their Private Events Director Karen is unparalleled. Communication was clear and consistent from the very beginning, and we never felt like they were trying to upsell us. As two more laid-back brides, she made sure we didn't overlook any important details. If your food is the most important aspect of your wedding, stop reading this and call Paradigm Gardens to book now. Our budget was fairly limited, but Chef Pat over at Karibu Kitchen (Paradigm Gardens' Catering) made the most of every dollar we spent. The food and bar packages were, hands down, the best we encountered at any venue in New Orleans. We had so much fun designing our custom menu with Chef Pat, and the tasting at Tchoup yard was one of our favorite parts of the planning process. Our family and friends still tell us it was the best food they've ever had at any wedding. The team even went out of their way to make sure our bar included our favorite brand of pickle vodka shots which turned out to be one of the highlights of the night. The location in Central City was perfect. It allowed us to have our rehearsal dinner downtown, and also take our pre-ceremony pictures at Audubon Park without requiring much driving time to and from the venue. The lush garden was more than we could have asked for as a backdrop. We said our vows in a short ceremony then watched the sunset over cocktails and dinner. The jasmine was in full bloom which made for awesome photos. The goats were a big hit with our wedding guests and the outdoor kitchen acted as a sort of fiery centerpiece to the whole evening. We had a local DJ playing New Orleans bounce and spent the majority of the night on the dance floor under the string lights. Without a massive budget, we anticipated having to compromise on a lot of aspects to be able to afford a wedding in New Orleans, but we couldn’t have been more wrong. We will forever be grateful to the folks at Paradigm Gardens for giving us the wedding of our dreams.”

“Louisiana Castle It’s such a joy getting married here! The venue is of course beautiful and had many of our guests going “What? A castle?” Everyone loved the experience of being there and being able to take photos on the Castle steps. Yes, it is far from the city, but we warned our guests and they were okay to drive home. This venue was a lot cheaper than others in New Orleans and the food was good as well. We wished we could have tried the food options prior to making selections, but it ended up fine regardless. Dolly is so sweet and makes sure that your financials are on track without being overbearing. Mary was instrumental in making the day go smoothly. My side of the family has a language barrier, and even they thought she was amazing and so easy to work with. She took care of so much and used her experience to make everything run well while also allowing us to do what we wanted as the bride and groom. Our bartenders were running late due to a van breakdown, and the Castle staff got all hands on deck to unload the alcohol and make sure that cocktail hour would still happen as planned. The views here made for the most incredible photos. Even better was staying at the Castle overnight – we got to walk around after all the guests had left, and the views from the Juliette Suite the next morning were gorgeous. The cleanup staff were so considerate and had taken their shoes off so that they wouldn’t wake us up while they cleaned the ballroom! Overall – we had a dream wedding and can’t recommend Louisiana Castle enough.”

“Aimee and Priscilla are very detailed, organized, professional, personal throughout the wedding planning process. From beginning to end, they went above and beyond to make sure my daughter's wedding day was perfect. They also gave us a list of vendors upon our request, and let us know that we did not have to use them, as they were only recommendations from past experience. We chose someone they recommended from each list. The food provided by Stroubes, their full service caterer, was delicious, and our guests still compliment it when we see them. The Shaw Center also has additional rental items available instead of going through a third party vendor. We rented tents, draping, chandeliers and champagne walls. Aimee and Priscilla helped us form a picture perfect wedding, and exceeded all expectations! I highly recommend the Shaw Center for any event!! It truly was a perfect night.”

Canal Street Inn Bed And Breakfast

5.0

“I could not pull off a wonderful review like this without a great venue partner. For brides looking for an all inclusive destination wedding location, the Canal Street is awesome and perfect. One of our happy clients: I am beyond grateful to have had Kristen as our wedding planner for our destination wedding at the Canal Street Inn. Planning a wedding from out of town can be overwhelming, but she made the entire process not just manageable, but truly enjoyable! From the very beginning, Kristen took the time to understand our vision and preferences. She provided invaluable insights into the local culture and customs, ensuring that our wedding was a beautiful blend of our personal touch and the charm of the destination. What impressed me the most was her incredible organization and communication skills. Despite the distance Kristen kept us informed every step of the way, coordinating everything from vendor bookings to logistics. She always made time to answer all our questions, making us feel connected and supported throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, Kristen and her team worked tirelessly to ensure that everything went perfectly. They managed all the details seamlessly, allowing us to focus on celebrating with our family and friends. It was truly a dream come true, and I was able to enjoy every moment without any stress. Thank you, Kristen and PK Events for your dedication, creativity, and hard work. You turned our destination wedding into a magical experience that we and our guests will cherish forever. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding, especially if you’re looking for someone who can expertly handle the complexities of a destination event!- Love, September Bride”

Chateau LeMoyne - French Quarter, A Holiday Inn Hotel

5.0

“Chateau LeMoyne - French Quarter, A Holiday Inn Hotel Is an affordable venue for an intimate venue that will comfortably hold 75-80 guests. Our experience was fantastic from the start. I had no clue what I was doing but requested info from venues on the Knot. This venue was by far the most professional, their info “packet” isn’t a pdf… it’s a website! They were by far the most affordable venue. The space rental includes tables, chairs, high top tables, etc. (which is something you may find you have to ask about the hidden cost of). They contract with Messina’s Catering & Events and our Catering Manager Lauren was a dream to work with! Below I share, a portion of the email I sent to her and Lizzy, the Sales Manager at the venue: “Thank you again for a wonderful wedding weekend! I cannot tell you both what an amazing time we had. We got so many compliments about the venue and the food. Multiple people told us that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Knowing that we chose not to do a lot of normal wedding traditions and kind of just did our own thing.... I think that really comes down to how beautiful the venue was, how great the food was, and how wonderful all the staff were to all of our guests. Everyone from the valet to the front desk staff, the servers and bartenders, the setup crew, and both of you! Lizzy was so right about the Second Line, I loved it more than I thought I would, and our guests are still raving about it multiple days later. And Lauren you were so supportive of all of our ideas and I truly think I would have gone crazy without you!” Without a doubt one of the best decisions we made was to have our wedding at Chateau LeMoyne! There was plenty of space in our suite to get ready and to get some beautiful shots. Our Photographer: https://jblanchardphoto.com/ who I also highly recommend. Jordan and Steven are the best! I swear my mother and sister had to insist that they take a break and eat!!”

Royal Frenchmen Hotel

5.0

“I am so excited to write this review for the Royal Frenchmen Hotel and Bar Team. We live in Maryland, and while I have family who is local to NOLA, we were taking a chance on a venue we had never visited. But, even working with Chloe before our contract was signed, I felt confident that all of my questions were getting answered, and that even the questions I hadn’t thought to ask, would still be taken care of. And I was right. We worked with their team from June 2023 to our wedding weekend August 2024 and Chloe and I slowly worked through every possible detail before we arrived. We got to visit the venue in January and they were such gracious hosts to us and my family. We even got to meet more of the team, all just as warm and kind. During our visit they treated us to a bar tasting to curate our menu with their award winning bar tenders, as well as had our caterers come in to customize our menu. And the food, was of course New Orleans level taste and quality. DELICIOUS. We were huge fans of all the vendors they suggested, from the band, to the bakeries for our cake, to the amazing photographer and videographer skills you see in the photos attached. They prioritized our needs, and always listened to what we requested, while also providing expert guidance when we weren’t sure what was the best plan. Even in the middle of the thunderstorms that arrived the week leading up to our day, they ensured our plan was in tact with a tent that was so beautifully decorated I couldn’t believe it wasn’t part of the original layout. As our guests arrived to stay for the weekend, and filed in on Saturday for the wedding, we continued to receive such beautiful feedback on how attentive they were to guests before, during, and after the wedding. We plan to continue to be visitors of this awesome hotel and bar to reminisce our magical day, but I want to make sure other couples get the chance to experience the care, warmth, and amazing service provided by the Royal Frenchmen team for their special day.”

I rented the mansion the night before for me and my bridesmaids and the rooms were comfortable and luxurious. My husband and I also stayed in the honeymoon suite the night of our wedding which was the perfect ending to our wedding. The staff were professional and helpful and always ready to answer any questions I had. They went out of their way to make sure that my wedding ran smoothly.

From the moment we reached out, the staff was incredibly responsive and caring, guiding us through the process of their pre-marriage counseling and officiating our ceremony at our chosen venue. They were wonderfully supportive and caring not only for our wedding, but to our whole family as well. We could not have asked for a better experience, and are so grateful to the team at First Presbyterian Church for helping to make our special day so meaningful and memorable.”

“I would fully recommend Beau Chene to anyone and everyone. We truthfully had the most perfect day due to the staff and all they did. Ashlee is truthfully a one of a kind and amazing person to work with. If we had to do it all over again, we would pick Beau Chene every single time. All of our guests had an amazing time and could not stop talking about the food. I cannot put into words how truthfully grateful I am that we chose Beau Chene.”

The Alexander Room and Terrace

Metairie, LA

Located in the heart of Metairie, The Alexander Room and Terrace is truly a hidden gem. The Alexander Room was conceived and built by the International Brotherhood of Electricians in 1984. The intent was for The Alexander Room to be a contender among Metairie’s event venues. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the room was never marketed to the general public. In 2014, Troy and Cindy Timphony of Hobnobber Café were approached with the idea of taking over the catering, management and marketing of the Alexander Room. Over the course of the next few years improvements were made, menus prepared and website and social media added to bring you the polished jewel that is The Alexander Room and Terrace.

“Mrs. Cindy, the Timphony family, & all of the staff here at The Alexander Room are the absolute best. Our wedding went off without a hitch, and was an absolute dream come true. From day one, Mrs. Cindy made sure to check in with our stress levels, and assure us that she would be there for anything we needed. To say we felt special, and taken care of, is such an understatement. The venue is incredible, with a spacious indoor, and a fabulous terrace overlooking the best parts of Metairie. The guests ate up the indoor/outdoor experience, and were all able to mingle very well with the layout. And the food —- off the charts. We got SO many compliments on the food! If you’re hesitating, don’t. This is the place for your special day.”

Margaret Place

5.0

“We loved everything about the Margaret Place. Communication was easy, the owner was quick with responses and accommodating for all of our questions and needs. The space is very modular so you can change the layout/floorplan to your exact desire. We had the ceremony followed by a second line while they flipped the space for the rehearsal. It was all so streamlined and when we got back the space had a whole different vibe. We had the dance floor in the loung, which made it a little more intimate and it looked amazing! Highly reccomend the Margaret Place”

“Bill and the team at Marigny Opera House were a breeze to work with! He was very thorough and responsive when we had any questions and his spirit in general was so kind. We wanted a venue with true New Orleans history and beauty, and the MOH provided that no matter if we were out front, inside, or in the courtyard. If you're looking for a venue outside of the Quarter, we HIGHLY recommend. Our guests were very impressed, and we can't wait to return to experience some of their performing arts shows. Thank you MOH!”
