Need a wedding venue in Lafayette? This is a great place…read more Before we get into the review I have a few disclaimers. I have no idea how much this venue costs or how easy they are to work with. I am sure they are lovely. I am writing this review as someone who performed a wedding ceremony here, drank some wine, and ate some food. With that in mind, we are gathered here today to write this review. The Truss Room is named after the large trussed roof. At least that is what I guessed based on the name and the view of the roof. It is one large room that had the venue/reception area on one side and the bar/food area on the other. The wedding had around 150 guests (I am guessing). There was ample food and drinks for everyone. As an officiant, the acoustics were great but I am a loud dude so if you are a whisperer, get you a microphone. The food was very good and people seemed happy. The wine was also good and people seemed to enjoy it. PS. I wonder if Yelp will allow me to add Reverand to my name.

My buddy came into a few tickets for a Music Festival Fund Raiser (?¿) Don't quote me on that but I…read moreswear that's what they told me the event was that evening. Alas, I digress.. The place is constructed of exclusively wood, exposed brick & old sheet metal. It had an immediate charm about it for sure and overall would be a great place for an event. We parked in the large lot on the same plot as the building. My first reaction to the place was how cool and aesthetically pleasing it is - especially for the little neighborhood it's in:/ They've got a relatively large, healthy lawn in the back with the the little bulb lights that everybody likes. There was also a stage out back but it wasn't being used when I was there. From the parking lot you take a few steps up to the floor level of the wrap around porch. As you actually enter the building you enter into the smaller of the two main chambers. There will be a bar to your immediate right and the larger, stage room to our left. Naturally there was a band playing in the larger, banquet style room. As mentioned it had a stage on the far end and also a bar with plenty of open space for seating/dancing/tom-foolery. On a quick side note, the bar had a quite expansive and modestly priced assortment of your typical offerings. I will say the bartender I had knew nothing about the local beer much less helpful wine and spirit suggestions - he was friendly though :) Another quick side note, the caterer, The Habana Club, was EXCELLENT and offered extremely delicious and authentic Cuban fare. DEFINTELY check them up if you're in the area and into that sort of thing. TL;DR Definitely worth using for a private party or trying to get into the next local event they're hosting. Until next time.. CHEERS !!!

I experienced the most disgusting and disturbing time on April 16, 2023, as I catered a Bridal…read moreShower at this place, well at John Nickerson House which is owned by the same people. Originally the event was suppose to be held here but it was changed by the management team due to maintenance. Assistant Beth Maitland embodied the most disrespectful, undermining, distasteful, unprofessional, unpleasant, and harassing behavior. She stayed the whole time at the event and expressed these nasty behaviors. I have never experienced this event before. I will never recommend anyone to book here or work an event connected to this establishment. I and all of the guests did not feel welcome. Everyone was uncomfortable and had horrible stories to say about Beth's behavior. I strongly believe it was due to discrimination. I have proof of everything I am stating. An example; As I was preparing dishes, Beth grabbed a piece of bacon out of a wrapped pan without my permission. The sense of empowerment and entitlement allowed her to perform in these ways. I am a professional first who owns a catering company. This is not how you conduct busines.. This is beyond sad and disgusting.

I booked a little weekend NYE getaway from New Orleans for my boyfriend and I. In googling "things…read moreto do in Lafayette," the murder mystery dinner at Esprit de Coeur showed up. I tried to book tickets but found that the website said "sales ended." It may be a long shot, but I gave them a call to see if I could get tickets. By this point, it was 4pm the day before the show. Daisy answered the phone and told me there were still a few seats and actually opened the sales so I could purchase tickets. That was impressive to me. We got there early and were welcomed warmly by costumed employees. The actors were already in character. The bartender went above and beyond to keep us happy, even recommending a place within walking distance where we could continue the evening after the show. The decor was very nice. We didn't figure out whodunnit (the team who did got cool prizes) but really had a great evening and would definitely recommend the facility and the murder mystery to anyone looking for a fun evening.
