From the initial contact until the day of the event, and I thanked Dionca (owner) for allowing us to book, every interaction was professional, courteous, and they went of out their way to ensure we were taken care of coming from out of town. This relieved SO MUCH stress! They were just as passionate about the success of my event as I was! They cared, and that impressed me. They offered every service needed to ensure we were satisfied and didn't want us to have to do anything but enjoy each other. That's excellent service and was definitely noticed and appreciated. The cleanliness was unmatched and the setup was perfect and tailored to our liking. You don't have to look further than The Venue for an event space in New Orleans. If I were to travel to NOLA 100 times this year and needed an event space, I would book The Venue 100 times! Thank you to Dionca and her family for having us and I hope to book again soon!

I had my daughter graduation party here. The place was spacious and beautiful, but my guest and…read morefamily thought the menu did not offer enough food and the serving size plates were too small. I had a problem with the large sandwich tray being passed around once and never brought back out again, the bar was not constantly being filled, they actually had my guest wait to eat because my daughter was running 2 hours late to her own party, so they really didn't have to put out much food since the guest had to wait to eat. The food was picked up and taken to the back the last hour and the staff took all of it home even most of the large graduation cake. I asked the manager why wasn't I informed they were the food was so called thrown out, she said she asked my daughter who was already intoxicated when she got to her party did she want the food and she said no. Of course she didn't: 1. She was drunk. 2. She didn't have any place to bring all the left overs because we were from out of town and staying at a hotel and 3. She did not pay a dime for any of it.... The contract was with her Mom. So yes, I give this place 2 stars for the size and beauty, but if you go with this venue just make sure before they pack of your food and cake, they leave it out front where you can see it and not bring everything to the back for staff to carry out the back door...

Mel Ott Park has had so much redone lately that it definitely deserves a review!…read more I have been going to this park my whole life. I grew up here. It has a really nice playground and play area for kids and a lot of nice greenery. It's not the biggest park, but it's really nice for what it is. There is a good number of different covered areas that can be used for picnics as well as a large baseball field. There is also a gazebo that can be rented for parties and other gatherings. Recently the park added a huge recreation center that contains a full size basketball court complete with retractable bleachers. This was built in order to encourage kids in Gretna and surrounding areas to play sports and stay involved in their community. There is also a huge meeting space that can be rented for different events or meetings.

I feel like New Orleans was a little late to the game with these types of places, but now we have a decent array (typically at hotels like this one). And like most of the other rooftop bars at hotels, you don't have to be a hotel guest to take advantage! This past Saturday evening was surprisingly quiet up there, possibly due to White Linen happening on the other side of the CBD. I wasn't complaining, believe me! It was perfect out there for me and just when I thought things couldn't possibly get better, I saw the cocktail menu. Frosé, baby! Passionfruit frosé, yes please. Also, prices are not as high as you'd expect. My guy got a $3 Modelo. Frosé was $8. Pretty views of the surrounding buildings, fairy lights against the dark summer sky and a slight breeze... living my best life with a glass of frozé in mah hand. Thanks, Catahoula!
