Great Professional…read more Exceptional Some of the few words I could use to describe my experience with this company. Jorge is awesome. 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.

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.

We wanted to do something special and yet fairly intimate for our daughter and approximately 12 family members. I found Event Helpers on Yelp, called Katie and she took care of everything.

Marinated grilled veggies, Cajun Jumbo Shrimp, Hawaiian Chicken Skewers, Blackened Redfish, a Mediterranean Salad and more.

The historic space is beautiful and provided excellent flow at my daughter's wedding. The food was exquisite. And I simply can't say enough about Rylan, Millie, Hana and the rest of the staff at Latrobe's. Their professionalism, their attention to detail, their care and patience - all are unmatched. We did not hire a wedding planner and now, knowing just how much work is involved in planning a wedding, I think we simply couldn't have done it without their guidance and tips, which they provided even for events beyond the wedding and their scope of work. The whole event ran so smoothly that I was worry-free and thoroughly able to enjoy the wedding myself. And the rave reviews from the guests (as well as from participating vendors!) prove just how exceptional Latrobe's is.

So much so that we did not feel the need to hire a wedding planner. The venue's highly-skilled and experienced team are able to provide helpful insights every step of the way and are always willing to answer questions. Their vendor list is very helpful, everyone they recommended did an incredible job. The building itself is nothing short of magical. Giving our guests a real taste of New Orleans was incredibly important. If our guests did nothing else during their trip, we wanted them to feel like they had an experience unique to the city. Latrobe's definitely helped us achieve that. From the beautiful courtyard complete with burning gas lamps, to the grand banking room, to the wonderful food selection of delicious regional delicacies. Many of our guests told us that they felt they had been transported back in time. That it was the best, most unique wedding they had ever attended - and with the best food! Lastly, the team at Latrobe's is incredible - I actually miss talking to them every week! (LOL) Rylan, Hana, and Millie are the best. I am so grateful for their expertise, patience, and kindness during the entire planning process. A big thank you to Rylan especially for her guidance during our tasting and rehearsal! We would also like to thank the day-of event team, including Marté and David, who made us feel so special on our wedding day. Many of our guests commented on the kindness of the Latrobe's staff who made them feel so welcome. In conclusion, there are simply not enough stars to accurately review Latrobe's! If you have been searching for a venue in New Orleans, congratulations, you've found it! Trust me. We will cherish the memories forever.

The venue setting, the service from Jess & her team, the food were all over the top. We had more than 200 guests from 20 different states and when I say everyone had a great experience, I mean GREAT. A high percentage of people were from New York/New Jersey and they never stopped coming up to me to say "we have been to so many weddings at some of the highest-end venues, but this is Best.Wedding.Ever." I have always taught my twin boys that one secret to a happy life is to temper your expectations in order to minimize your disappointments. However, after our tasting visit last August my expectations for this wedding were incredibly high. I told everyone it was going to be both special and magical. Truth is I wasn't even close - the experience blew me away. I told Jess that Elms Mansion had created a memory that will last for so many of our lifetimes. If you are considering a New Orleans wedding, do not look any further than Elms Mansion. I assure you that Jess and your team will make all your dreams come true. Jon

Walking food tours, clue carre, and a CRAZY scavenger hunt in the French quarter, that my divas rocked out in heeled boots and fashion sneakers. The weekend ended with a return to our weekend rental to catered food, decorations, gift bags and much more. When I met Missy and Stephanie, it was like meeting sisters. They stayed almost to the end of my shower, taking pictures, and packing away food as we finished. You may say, hmmmm they stayed? But it was as if they weren't there, but after they left we realized we had nothing to clean up! If I could suggest one thing, would be to have either bags, tshirts, pens or something to give their clients to help promote their brand and get the word out about all of the good things they are doing!

I had no idea that several…read morebrands I've tried before are actually connected to Sazerac Company, which was a really interesting surprise. One of the highlights for me was a modern twist on the classic Sazerac--an elderberry and amaro version that was complex, unique, and unexpected. I also tried a coffee-inspired Sazerac that was incredibly smooth, with rich espresso notes that balanced perfectly with the bold flavors of the original. It was so good it honestly made me forget about Patrón XO Cafe. Each floor includes a tasting sample along with a recipe card, which was such a nice touch and makes it easy to recreate the drinks at home. The space is very well set up, with elevators and bathrooms on every floor, and you can even see parts of the distillery during the experience. Overall, it's an engaging, well-organized tour that's both informative and fun. Definitely worth it if you're interested in cocktails or want to learn more about spirits.

In hindsight, this absolutely deserved a spot on our itinerary. It's a unique combination of a liquor shop, museum, and immersive experience, where they walk you through the history of some of the iconic drinks that originated in New Orleans. The entire experience from the visuals to the storytelling to the tastings comes together beautifully. I was genuinely amazed that something this well done is offered for free. After the tour, we wanted to pick up a few bottles, but unfortunately they were out of what we were looking for. We even came back the next day, but it was still out of stock, which was a bit of a letdown. The staff was incredibly friendly and took the time to answer all our questions. Overall, this is a must-do experience if you're in the area.
