A hidden gem venue in the heart of downtown Lafayette. When you first walk into the building, it…read morelooks like an old hotel that someone gave you the wrong address to. Down a winding hallway and up a flight of stairs, the Rat Pak is a medium-large, long rectangular event space featuring two bars offset from the main space, a pretty tin ceiling, hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and a gorgeous view of the courthouse from a wall of windows. For the event I attended, there were string lights strung over the seating and stage area that were very pretty. This would be the perfect place for a wedding reception, quinceañera, or other large party event. Employees were friendly, energetic, and seemed happy to be there. The bartenders at the smaller inner bar were especially friendly. The event I was there for was packed, and the bar line w/ one bartender moved pretty fast I would give 5 stars, but several of the employees (of the venue, not the event I was there for, as they seemed to be affiliated with the owner) were drinking heavily before and while working. one kept trying to get back in the bar line, and kept heckling guests to be allowed to cut in front of them. When he was checking tickets, after the event was already under way so the only people were attendees going to the bar or the bathroom, he was weirdly aggressive and was still drinking while doing it. People had wristbands, so it was 100% unnecessary to interact in this way. (purple dress-shirt, black vest, multicolored tie, short white man... his coworker, a white women in a glittery wrap dress who got up on stage to yell at people about where they were sitting was also drinking, and egged the drunk employee on while he was harassing guests in the bar line) People had wristbands, so it was 100% unnecessary.

There was not a single dead moment during our reception and at one point the floor of our venue was shaking from all the people on the dance floor! Jim treats music selection, crowd engagement, and flow of events as a science without sacrificing fun. He's not just a DJ, he's a party connoisseur and wedding day coordinator all in one. Our entire wedding day flowed perfectly from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception, because of his consistency and attention to detail. We love Jim and will miss working with him greatly!

If you don't at least consider Jim as the DJ/MC for your wedding, you are doing yourself a HUGE…read moredisservice. I've been to several weddings for friends and family members and the bands and DJs just didn't compare to Jim. He is very professional, thoughtful, such a calming influence, and essentially acts as a second Wedding Planner. He offered several suggestions to us for songs, moments, and events that we wouldn't have otherwise thought of. He comes dressed in a tux to both the rehearsal and the ceremony/reception. He plays everything by ear and keeps the dance floor packed all night. And he will absolutely stick to your 'must play' and 'do not play' lists. Check out his website - there are videos to give you an idea of what a wedding is like with him as the DJ. You won't regret it! www.jimcerone.com

This DJ kept the music going, and controlled the mic volume as needed (thank goodness), and made the night quite enjoyable.
