The service and food are consistently amazing. Every event I've had there has been a great experience from start to finish. Several personal touches.

This large piece of property is surrounded by lovely trees and gardens that make any event picturesque. Outside there is a seating area with a fireplace where you can take in the view. Inside there is a bar in the front and then a big room where the party happens and then there is a connected room with great light and views. On the night I was here, the entire "outside" room was illuminated and the yard area was beautifully lit. I like that the space is large enough so that you don't feel stuffed into the space. The staff was attentive and cleared everything as needed and the bartenders were fast about keeping up with the crowd. I didn't eat much, but the food I did have was good.

The reception which was held inside the building was the ideal place for our Great Gatsby/ Vintage Glam themed wedding. The space is huge with high ceilings and an amazing dome. The walls have vintage chalkboards and large windows. The tall doors are dramatic and astounds you as you enter. This place is GORGEOUS!! We couldn't have picked a better place for our Big Day. The wedding coordinator of The Board of Trade , Leah, was amazing from the beginning of the planning stage to the end of our wedding night! She is friendly, beyond helpful, personable and highly professional! All of the staff on our wedding day were so amazing as well! They showed us what true SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY is! Many of our guests told us how extremely nice all the staff were. If you want an awesome venue with the best service for your event in New Orleans, The Board of Trade is the place!!

Historic chic NOLA wedding venue…read more Visited as a guest to a December wedding at the Eliza Jane / Board of Trade. Though renovated in 1993, the BoT maintains a vintage shabby aesthetic that seems similar to that which drives designers at Anthropologie. Otherwise, architectural and interior design features are on the spartan side - the posh Roosevelt Hotel this is not. Courtyard fountain offers a pretty location for photos. Light rain reduced its use, but improved the shine of candlelight. High marks for exclusive food service vendor Pigeon Caterers. Though I have no idea how much they charge for the buffet spread, memorable dishes included shrimp and grits, gouda mashed potatoes, and crawfish etouffe. Bananas Foster were a cool effect, but ended up too soupy for excellence. Reasonable bar selection of mid-level wines and spirits with simple mixed drinks only (no sazaracs, French 75s, or gin fizzes at this wedding) - again, don't know what our friends sprung for. Unique is that leftovers were packaged for the wedding party to bring home. Second line up Poydras was pretty special. Must do.

The right time of year definitely made a difference! Afterwards the indoor part was amazing. So much space and the vibe is just fun. I didn't get to try any of the food but everything looked great. If you aren't feeling like having a wedding in a typical event venue palace hall indoors only, this is definitely worth a visit for something different and classy.

The food was good as well (I chose the chicken dish) and the service was also very efficient. My only mini complaint is that to get to the venue, you have to walk a bit ... Normally not an issue, but with the majority of us wearing heels or at least wedges, my feet are complaining a bit today. Otherwise, I'd love to get married here myself some day (if I lived in the South!) and I highly recommend it.

From, "That was the best wedding I've ever attended," to "Omg the food was delicious and never stopped!" everyone had only excellent things to say. I am not a DIY person, and planning a destination wedding where over half my guests were traveling from out of state was stressful enough. I knew I needed a venue that would take care of everything for us. And did they ever! From the ceremony seamlessly transitioning into the reception, to the lighting and music, to our own "non-traditional" ideas throughout, I cannot believe how perfect the day went. Mike was more attentive than my maid of honor!! He re-bustled my dress on the dance floor, kept our specialty drink that the Balcony made just for us flowing all day, and didn't let anyone get out of their seat until we took all the group pictures during our song. We had a brass band come in at the end & our guests went wild for them! Tip for anyone planning to get married here on a budget - choose a date on Sunday, and you will get your photographer, DJ, and a whole package thrown into their specialty pricing. The bananas foster was amazzzzzingggggg!!! Thank you so much, to everyone at the Balcony Ballroom for one of the most memorable and beautiful days of my life!!

My husband and I had a destination wedding here and got married here last year (Oct. 29th, 2022)…read more The scene is SO gorgeous, and everything is incredibly picturesque. We booked R&R for the three night package, not just for the day of our wedding, and if I were to do it over, I would do it differently. The things they don't tell you: 1. It's VERY loud. The back house (where we stayed), shook when trucks drove past, particularly late at night, and they're driving past ALL THE TIME. So, on the 2 nights I wasn't completely exhausted, I slept VERY POORLY. 2. If you book for more than just your wedding day, and are having people stay there with you, you won't be able to utilize all the gorgeous spaces for your pictures, as people will be in the rooms, getting ready and having their stuff all over... So, our pictures weren't quite as widespread over the venue as I would have liked. Bummer. 3. The window coverings aren't for blackout, so it can be very light in the rooms as you are trying to sleep. For the $500/night per room we paid, one of our guests who had a child, between the light in the room and the noise, had to move out after the first night and get a hotel. BUMMER. So, if I were doing it all over again, I would have the party there, but would retreat back to a different Airbnb, or house, to live the rest of the trip.

SIMPLY DIVINE!!!!!…read more Here for a wedding, this place is the bomb.com. Beautiful inside and outside. Deon & Shaquita's Wedding, Dec 8, 2017; the day it LITERALLY SNOWED in New Orleans, only added to the memories of this auspicious occasion. The venue attendees quickly accommodated for the weather, by way of outdoor heating and covered tents. The cobblestone/brick flooring outside is divine and adds to the over all mystique of the venue. The pond sets the place off to a greater degree. Inside, the upstairs and downstairs decor is astounding. The other areas on the grounds are just as phenomenal. While the food was provided by an outside caterer, it added to the sheer elegance of the event. Great place for a grandiose party, as it'll fit the bill.
