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!

It's very close to the Lakeshore so you can see and feel all the boaty vibes from the area. Nice service as well.

Venue- The venue space was large enough to hold our guests of 150 comfortably. The added drapery and greenery to the chandeliers was such a beautiful touch that complemented our decor. We loved the option that our guests could go outside on the terrance and enjoy the sunset. The bridal suite made for beautiful photos and comfortably could fit a small bridal party. The extra touches of tissues, mints, pins, and other odds and ends that may be needed was such a thoughtful touch. Staff- Our family made several comments of how great the staff was! Everyone was so nice and helpful! Lots of smiling faces and exceptional service! Mrs. Cindy really made sure to listen to every detail and made it happen! From set up to take down she was there and made it 10x better! She checked on us regularly throughout the evening and made sure every thing ran smoothly. Budget- One of the main reasons why we choose The Alexander Room was because they offer a "Special Events" package. Since we were not hosting a wedding, we had the option to customize a package that better fit our budget. We had the option to add on certain items should we have wanted them. Food- There was an array of food options to choose from for our event. Each item we choose was absolutely delicious and Mr. Timphony ( the owner), was the chef. The Gumbo was also delicious! All and all this was a 10/10. Not a single thing to complain about. I absolutely recommend The Alexander Room for any event! They have been such a pleasure to work with! The Alexander Room and Terrance is absolutely Metairie's best kept secret when it comes to Venues!

I attended a workshop here this week and have mostly good things to say about the facility. First…read moreoff, I had no idea it existed, do it was a nice surprise. It's located near Lakeside Mall in Metairie and shares a parking lot with other businesses in the building. Parking was a breeze the morning I was there. When I arrived I was pleased with the attentive service I received from the staff. They had breakfast service set up buffet style and the food was good. Almost as soon as I sat down, I of course spilled my water. I swear, I'm as messy am eater as a 3 year old. As I was looking for napkins an employee noticed what was going on and swooped in to clean up. Lunch service was much the same. It was a health insurance seminar, so they were challenged to find appropriate foods, and did a pretty decent job. Deli sandwich fixings and gumbo. I might have gone with a grilled chicken and veggies option and maybe offered brown rice with the gumbo. Their options were very tasty though. The staff was good about clearing the tables and they were friendly. The room is large and was very clean. There were a few chandeliers and there was an available stage area. The bathrooms were adequate and clean, but there were no paper towels available. All in all it's a nice space. Sort of a blank canvas that, with some decorating, probably dresses up nicely. It was perfect for the daytime event that I attended.

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!
