After visiting since The New Orleans Mission renovation I convinced my wife and daughter to consider. They were skeptical at 1st due to previous visit but after meeting with Emily and seeing how beautiful it had become we decided to have our memorable event there. What a great decision. The rehearsal dinner had a very intimate atmosphere versus a restaurant. As a father it was my hope for my daughter to have a memorable event. Emily and Sara were the coordinators and delivered a lifetime event. They are AWESOME! I'm a foodie and the food was incredible. Can't say enough about this venue and their "mission". Great event at a venue with a purpose!

I attended a wedding this weekend at the Cedar Post Barn and was a little underwhelmed…read more The venue is located in Albany, LA, which is a rural community about an hour from New Orleans. It looks like a large fishing camp on the outside. It's raised and sits over a large pond. The ceremony was performed on a deck overlooking the pond, which was sweet, but it was very warm. I was in a dress and heels, my husband was in a suit and tie and we were sweating. It was only 75 degrees, but there was no breeze and bugs were buzzing. Once the ceremony was over, we were ushered to the inside of the structure. It looked like a barn. Big open space, lots of wood. There was a bar and his and hers restrooms. That's about all there was to it. The main ladies room doors were swinging doors! Give me a door knob please!!! Also, the stall doors had those hooks that latch into the loop thingy. I haven't seen those things in years. It didn't feel quite private enough. These are restrooms people! The AC inside was blowing like a hurricane in a few spots in the room. There were spots where no one sat because it was just too cold and uncomfortable. I don't know if the venue provides food or not, but for this wedding, the bride's family took care of the food. After we ate, no one came by to pick up our plates. I had to walk around to find a garbage can near the bar because there were no others that I found. The parking area is the grass out front. We parked on the grass with everyone else and then walked in rocks to get to the building. Our shoes were muddy and scraped. I thought that the pond was nice, and the barn look was ok if that's what you are looking for, but this was too out of the way to have so many issues. We drove for a little over an hour to sweat, bus our own tables, scratch up our shoes and feel uncomfortable using the restrooms.

They were very nice and helpful with anything we needed. The staff helped make my day be as less…read morestressful as possible. Everything was beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious. Thank y'all all so much!

One party was for a group of 20 and he and his staff made the event a huge success, in both culinary delight and also providing a class act with the guests. Nothing could have been better!

We had also experienced Mr. Ron's restaurant and each and every course we had were "over the moon" good. If you want a successful and delicious event - hire Mr. Ron!

Would I recommend Global Wildlife Center? Absolutely!!!!! I honestly can't wait to go again!…read more We visited Global Wildlife on a Friday, but due to the weather we were given the option to return that Sunday for our semi-private tour and I'm so glad we did. Everything went great! The weather was beautiful, and our tour guide, Charlotte, was amazing! She was patient, friendly, sweet, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. If you're interested in doing a semi-private or private tour, I highly recommend asking for her. She made the experience even more enjoyable. I can't remember the other young man's name who was going to do our tour that Friday, but he was also such a sweetheart. We purchased a half bag of feed and ran out pretty fast since we were the only two people on our tour. Plus becausefelt like I had to feed every single animal and I didn't want to leave any one of them out. Lucky we were able to purchase more feed midway through the tour, which definitely turned into a workout, but it was worth every scoop, pour, and encounter. They have plenty of seating available while you wait, a large gift shop, a photo booth, and several other adventures you can purchase, including the capybara experience and more. Every worker we encountered was incredibly friendly and helpful. You can genuinely tell that they love what they do and truly care about the animals and the environment. This is such an incredible place to visit, and I'm still in awe that something like this is right there in Louisiana.
