FUTURE BRIDES AND GROOMS, BEWARE. I came here this past weekend for close friend's wedding…read morereception and truly wanted to enjoy myself, but found it utterly IMPOSSIBLE. Why? Because - whether by accident or in a crude, intentional attempt to save money - the building manager neglected to turn on the AC in the entire ballroom until halfway through the reception. It is reproachfully unacceptable that this was allowed, and I truly hope my friends received some sort of discount or refund for this shameful act of gross negligence that made the evening only a fraction as enjoyable as it could have been. How does one eat and dance and celebrate when one is sweating through gowns or suits? I mean, I can't wipe my mouth when my napkin is already drenched in the sweat from my brow. We asked a waiter why it was so hot, and he had the gall to admit the AC was not, in fact, broken; when we pressed him and then asked why it was so hot, he couldn't give us an answer and scurried away. If you say your event space has the capacity for 600 guests, then you need to plan to be able to accommodate the body heat of those 600 guests and TURN. ON. THE. AIR. CONDITIONING. The only reason this is not a 1 star review is that the traditional Vietnamese and Chinese food provided by their catering department was absolutely delicious - cooked and seasoned perfectly and elegantly plated. But I'm not going to discuss that any further here, BECAUSE I'M STILL REALLY HOT FROM THE LACK OF AC.

There's parking right in front the facility. Everything is nice. Actually, My High School Proms were held here and they were able to place a DJ and also the Catering Food Stations in here as well. The lightning in this Hall is amazing and eloquent. The Hall is nicely decorated and there is a lot of room in this place. Overall This is a beautiful place and every time I came to an event here the servers and waitresses/waiters were nice and attentive. I enjoy my time here everytime!

What a fantastic place for a wedding! Incredible venue, unbelievable food, and attentive staff…read more Emili and Logan were both especially friendly and deserve their kudos. I do think the DJ could use a bit of work. His delivery was a lot more "radio DJ introducing a comedian at a charity event" than it was "fun night of love and togetherness." There were earplugs. There needn't be earplugs at a wedding. Either way, five whole stars easy. The food and the rest of the staff were exemplary.

I did a quick google search of the best venues in New Orleans for Weddings. Southern Oaks was one of the venues that popped up. I planned a weekend trip for January to visit, it was the first stop on my list and I immediately fell in love. Shoutout to Maxwell who took care of me during my site visit and Mr. Bobby the owner who also made sure I had everything I needed to make the most informed decision. If you are still trying to decide to go with Southern Oaks or another venue, book Southern Oaks. I promise you won't be disappointed. 2 months later and my guest are still raving about our wedding being so Amazing. We owe it all to the Southern Oaks staff, all we did was show up and let them work their magic. Some highlights from our big day were the old fashion Rolls Royce that we arrived in, the attention provided to us, our wedding party and parents ( our parents are still talking about how well they looked after me during the reception), the DJ was awesome, the food was delicious and endless and our fireworks exit at the end of the night. From the very first visit to our last encounter with staff everything was Top Notch. 10's across the board. Thank You Mr. Bobby I really appreciate all that you did for us. It was money worth spent

What a wonderful experience and concept to have in New Orleans! Gather N' Chill (GNC) is a…read more#WomanOwned business and offers an upscale, luxurious, gourmet picnic service at select destinations throughout the city. I was able to handle everything via their Instagram DM so it was really fast and efficient. Laying out all of the details ahead of time was so reassuring. What's great about GNC is they handle all the set-up, secure the location, very detail oriented, and handle all the breakdown and cleanup! All you have to do is bring the alcohol or any preferred choice of beverage. Your reservation includes a two hour reservation with the set-up and you can pay for additional hours and guests if desired. Since this was for Valentine's Day it was just for my partner and I. We were placed at the Tree of Life and I was contacted the day of with all updates. When we parked in front of the tree, my partner and I were in absolute awe of the set-up. GNC had it beautifully set up and had the area reserved with a private picnic in action. There was a mini heat generator, champagne bucket, still and sparkling water bottles, our charcuterie and sweet board, pillows, lounge pillows, blankets, so many cute VDay details, and even a few lagniappes for us to enjoy. GNC is all about the details and the Assorted Boards charcuterie boards were delish! I highly recommend using them for special occasions, dates, or a large family and friend function. I'll definitely be using this upscale service again! BTW it is SUPER AFFORDABLE.

His personality and character is addicting and proves that there's still good people out in the world. He's very professional and easy to get in contact with. Responds in great time. Jorge is also well rounded with all types of music and different events for certain environments. As I looked around in my crowd I didn't not see one foot that wasn't tapping to the beat. I recommend him to anyone and everyone especially since he's in the NOLA now giving the area his Miami touch.
