I wish that I could give this venue A THOUSAND STARS!!! Chad, Kendra, and their entire team are absolutely amazing. I can not thank them enough for everything they did for our big day. They made us feel so special and so effortlessly happy. We felt like royalty!! I mean they took care of EVERYTHING you could possibly imagine for you!! Even things I didn't think of! On top of that, the venue is just perfect. It's beautiful and they make it so easy to really bring your entire vision to life! Not to mention.... THE FOOD! The food is outstanding! Every single one of our guests came back to tell us how lovely the evening was, how beautiful the venue is, and how delicious the food is!! I HIGHLY recommend this venue! **big plus for us too was that they made sure we always had a drink if needed AND they packed up food and cake for us to enjoy after and the next days! We appreciated that SO much because my husband and I really didn't have the time to eat all the food in the moment!!** read more

I cannot stress enough... if you're even thinking about having your wedding somewhere other than the Fleur de Lis, don't. The Fleur de Lis and the people there were absolutely amazing! They were so on top of things. I didn't have to worry about anything! Everything was so beautiful and was above and beyond my expectations. read more

Got married there this past Saturday. We couldn't have asked for more from the venue. The cost was comparable to similar venues from which we got quotes. We had been to a wedding expo there, and there was something about Fleur de Lis that we kept going back to it during our conversations. Every step of the way, the staff was courteous and thoughtful and it was clear that weddings are their business and they know what they are doing. The venue was beautiful, all our expectations were exceeded. We did not eat from the buffet, but our guests had very positive things to say. We had a personal assistant who got us everywhere we needed to be with as little stress as possible. If I had a complaint, it would be that 3 1/2 hours was simply not enough time. I felt as though, by the time we finished all the wedding tasks, the reception was wrapping up. The courtyard was nice and made for good pictures, but could have used more shade for a daytime wedding. The staff packed our car for us and even sent us home with plenty of leftovers. read more

The Fleur De Lis Event Center in Mandeville, LA, was the most beautiful and gorgeous venue center I have ever been to. They truly made my daughters wedding a dream come true. This event center truly does all the work for you, above and beyond any expectations you have. They provided everything from table toppers, DJ, open bar, decorations and food. The food was great the atmosphere was wonderful. The owner Mr. Chad was so nice and welcoming. Ms. Kendra( Lead Wedding Coordinator) was so helpful and nice and put up with my daughter 1,000 phone calls and question. Ms. Heather and Ms. Annelise were angels from heaven. It was so wonderful to have these two young ladies guiding us through our wedding day event. They were so caring and took care of all our needs. They walked us step by step through the rehearsal and wedding reception. So nice and helpful. Ms. Rebecca was so nice and helpful and on it ever step of the way. I can not say how thankful I am to The Fleur De Lis. This place is very very affordable and you get more than you ever dream. I highly highly recommend this place for any of your events. Thank You Steven and Lisa Ruiz ( Wedding for Cody and Brittany Lee 1/11/25). read more

Held a 60th Anniversary party for my parents at the private restaurant of the Fleur de Lis Event Center. And it was amazing. It is so tastefully decorated we really only added a few personal touches, which just made everything so easy and took the stress off of us. The food was delicious. And the event coordinator, Ms. Becky, was just fantastic. She made everything run so smoothly and took care of my parents from start to finish. She made them (and us) feel so special and made sure we all left with some of the left over food and packaged up the extra cake for us. The private restaurant is perfect for small groups and I highly recommend!! read more

Where do we even begin?! First a pandemic then tropical storm! Our wedding was previously scheduled at fleur de lis event center for July 2020. We decided to postpone to June 2021. Mr. Chad and his team were so supportive and accommodating, no questions asked and we were able to reschedule. I am so glad we decided to postpone, because our wedding was everything we had ever dreamed of. Kendra was a rockstar! She was on top of every single detail the whole day, she has a ton of experience and it shows! She made sure everything went off without a hitch! We didn't have to worry about anything but showing up. Last minute they quickly changed the ceremony to outside because the weather cleared up! We were so impressed with how quickly they got it done! The bridal assistants were on top of everything! We never went without drinks in our hand and our family was taken care of as well. The venue was beautiful, the food was great, Mr. Chad did amazing officiating the ceremony, the staff were over the top, everyone said they had the BEST time! We really felt taken care of every step of the way! We highly recommend Fleur de Lis Event Center. read more

I had my wedding here a year ago, and it was perfect! Everything was amazing... from the decor, to the food, drinks, and the music. We had the best night of our lives all thanks to the staff at The Fleur De Lis Event Center! read more

I had my wedding here yesterday, and it was nothin short of perfect and amazing! This is a beautiful place, and they offer a full package for a decent price. As it got closer to the day, I had a million questions and wanted to figure out a million different little things. The bridal Coordinator worked endlessly in the days leading up to the wedding and at the wedding to make sure that we did not have to worry about anything, and she answered every question, dealt with every detail, and did not brush off any request. The owner takes great pride in his business space and model, and works hard to ensure that they provide a magical experience for the couple. Everyone said our food was amazing, that the place was spectacular, that the music was good. I got nothing but compliments and I left feeling totally satisfied. I would recommend them to anyone!!! read more

We had a wonderful time at our daughter's reception at FDL . The facility was nice and the food was great but the best part was the bridal team and staff. Everyone was professional and did their jobs well. Everything was organized well and executed in a manner that flowed well. All of our questions and any needs that arose were promptly addressed. As others have mentioned, the bridal team made sure we had drinks, food, and anything else we needed throughout the event. All of the guests enjoyed the reception. Overall a job well done. read more

Having a wedding planned during this pandemic has been a bit crazy, but it has been so helpful to have chosen a venue that is so easy to work with. I always get quick responses, and they have helped make this crazy time go a lot smoother. It's also a clean and beautiful place to have an event. read more

This venue was recommended to me by a friend from high school. She raved about the good food, great communication beforehand, and attention to detail. I'm not a totally picky person, but I can get pretty anxious about wanting to control everything and "run the show." From the beginning, Chad and the event center staff were very communicative in the process of quotes, contracts, and booking. We were able to have a wonderful wedding at a completely reasonable price, which is nearly impossible in the area. All-inclusive is the way to go! Did not have to worry about a thing. The only extras we had to pay for were cake, photographer, flowers, and smaller things that we wanted like guestbook. The day-of wedding staff was AMAZING. I do not give compliments lightly. I grew up in theatre and they were like the most perfect stage managers any cast or director could ask for. I did not have to worry about a THING. Even the things that I forgot, I just asked if they could do (like I decided not to change for my send-off because I was having too much fun), and they did it with the most efficiency and grace. I cannot say enough good things about them for day-of coordination. Planning a wedding was still stressful (obviously), but there were so few things I had to worry about before because of their comprehensive bridal packet. During, I literally felt like my most trusted companions were taking care of everything with the same care I would give. The food was incredible. Guests were raving about the food and drinks. We requested steak and different sides, and I can honestly say it was one of the best meals of my life. Then, they packed up the leftovers for us and we got to enjoy them all over again the next day! The owner has Disney event training, and it truly shows. They have weddings down to a formula without everyone feeling like they followed a formula. Our wedding felt unique and our own. We're very grateful to the owner and staff. read more

Was here for a family wedding in July 2017. Fantastic service! Wedding was held in a covered outdoor courtyard , and the reception was held indoors. Great food and fun music. The grand staircase inside was used for photos of the bridal party. Very spacious setup and bi-level seating for the reception. Great place for a party, wedding or any other event. read more

Been here in 2 occasions. Prom, Brothers Wedding. Prom was alright, nothing special. It was too small for the event I believe and food was awful. At my brothers wedding I did not agree with the the booking of this place to begin with but he said it was budget friendly. While at the wedding I arrived early to help my brother and niece. I watched as they set up and during the event. The rehearsal was a joke and no one knew what was going on. The speakers were above the event on a balcony so the music was distorted and not heard well. The bride and party is made to walk down a "fire escape" in the back and stand in the parking lot before going into the courtyard. The coordinator was very rude and especially hard on the kids, which I did not like. For the courtyard wedding the bricks are uneven, very easy to fall. And the whole set up was off to me. For the reception all the guest did not know were to go, and then were escorted through the WRONG door - making the sign in book on the other side, so no one saw it. Then for the bride and groom meal the lady basically sat with them the entire time. My brother said it was really awkward. When I went to go tell the DJ something about an announcement from the groom, a lady popped up and told me never to do that again and treated me like I was 12. Then the cake was way over in the corner so no one saw that either. Plus the lighting and ambiance is more of a club, nothing like a elegant wedding. read more

Mr. Chad, Anna, and the team are by far the best wedding team I have ever seen. I cannot emphasise how fantastic they made our night. The venue took care of details I didn't even consider. If you want an incredibly well priced, all inclusive, extraordinary wedding. Then I urge you to give this location your trust. My husband and I wish we could get married again just to enjoy this venue all over. read more

We picked the Fleur de Lis event center for our wedding after only visiting their center and no other venues. We liked everything about it right away. They work with you on everything and always value the opinion of the customers. Our wedding went great and the staff was perfect! I will always recommend them to everyone for any occasion! read more

The gem of Mandeville. This place is awesome. The staff is so professional and the venue is beautiful.

Do not use the Fleur De Lis Event Center for your wedding. The jerk owner, and that's being polite, threatened to kick me out of my own brother's wedding because his staff of teenagers screwed up & I got upset! Here's everything else that they screwed up: 1. Changed the chairs in the room after contract was signed. 2. Told no access to stairs for photos after owner said they could even if there was another event. 3. Place was not ready when we arrived - still trash from the night before. 4. Bathrooms were dirty, no soap in men's room. 5. Bride's suite was hot - no air circulation at all - floor was dirty. 6. Staff did not inform wedding party, families, or photographer of timeline for dances. 7. Could not hear announcements from dj outside or in dinning area. 8. Senior staff member was very rude to family member & accused her of cursing at employees. 9. Bartender threatened to cut Groom off if he was too intoxicated to hold his glass after someone knocked his glass out of his hand. 10. There was supposed to be limo for the Bride & Groom, but they got a town car instead. 11. Bartenders would not serve Groomsmen before the wedding. Groom's suite was not set up when they arrived like it should've been. 12. Two weddings - no signs directing guests. Several guest went to wrong wedding. 13. You could hear the music from the other reception through the wall while the ceremony was taking place. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE. If you have to, get everything in writing - keep a copy & use a recorder when meeting with them in person. ----------------------------------- In response to Chad's reply - I did not curse or yell at his staff. I did raise my voice after he caught an attitude with me because I told his staff they were going to get slammed on Facebook after this. I'm not sure how professional I was supposed to be since I was attending my brother's wedding, not working for him. All of the items listed are true and they really happened. I compiled my list from what I saw first hand and after talking with other family members & members of the bridal party. There is no reason for me to make all this up. I was only going to post this on FB, until he threatened to kick me out!! I also have a long list of people you could speak to about the events that happened at this wedding. read more

Absolutely wonderful place to get married. The staff was on top of our every need and wish, they ensured everything went smoothly and left no detail unattended. Not to mention the place is absolutely beautiful. Definitely do not hesitate to use this place for a wedding, you will not regret it. read more

What first caught my attention about FDL event center was that starry ceiling! How can you not love it! After a tour and a meeting with Chad we were sold! We knew we had to have our wedding here and we knew it was going to be spectacular. But it was even more than that! Chad, Kendra, and the staff were amazing! Took care of everything before I could even remember that it needed to be done. They were one step ahead the entire time and made absolutely sure that my husband and I had the most incredible day! They also treated our guests like royalty! We haven't stopped getting compliments about the service, the venue, the food, everything! And it's been 10 months since we were married! This is the place you've been looking for! You will love every minute! read more

SOMEHOW I ended up on their e-mail list. I did not sign up for this. Maybe y'all should make an effort to NOT include people you denied service to on your e-mail list? read more

They are awesome! Food was wonderful. The staff is terrific. The beauty of this place is outstanding. They are some accommodating. Our guest buses were an hour late and they did not start until all guests arrived. They treat you and your guests like royalty. They are so on top of everything, they have your needs met before you have a chance to think about anything. I wish I could give them 10 stars. read more

Thank you Fleur de lis Center for making my daughter's college graduation party a success. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Food was delicious as well. Thank you Richard and staff for being so accommodating and understanding. Will definitely recommend using them. Thank you Chad!!! read more

I highly HIGHLY recommend the Fleur De Lis Event Center! We had our wedding ceremony, reception, and even our rehearsal dinner here. The outside ceremony was simply beautiful, the food was amazing and the service was perfection. Anna made sure that ever thing went smoothly and that all of our needs were met. I can't wait to have another event here! read more

Amazing!!! We sent Chad and the staff the following letter when we returned from our honeymoon...so thankful! November 6, 2017 To Chad Bordelon, Kendra Cutrer, and staff at Fleur De Lis Center: We just returned from our honeymoon at DisneyWorld and had an amazing time, but not as amazing as the time we had at our wedding. Since the time we left the event center, I have been saying that I have to write a love letter to all of you because I don't think there has ever been a time that I felt so special, and I know my husband feels the same way. After a year and a half of planning, stress, and excitement, we showed up on our wedding day nervous and hoping everything would go well. I know that you all do this for a living and sometimes have more than one event in a day, but we felt as if we were the most important to you on our day. On top of that, we are most appreciative that you made our guests feel that way. I'm not sure where to start... from the personal greetings, the timeline, the friendliness to our vendors, the help in the bridal suite, the food, the personal attention to the parents....words cannot express. I apologize because I do not remember the name of the young lady that helped me out during the reception, but she followed me around with a heavy and very important item (my makeup bag ) throughout the night so that I could reapply my lip gloss. Every time I asked for it, she was so polite that I wanted to have her sit down and join me for a drink! Mrs. Kendra, a personal thank you to you also, for helping me through the planning by always answering my e-mails promptly and especially for saying yes every time I asked if I could add or change something to the ceremony or reception! You are truly good at what you do and made the entire wedding party feel comfortable during the rehearsal and the ceremony. You were also there throughout the night making sure everything went smoothly and we appreciate you so much! We thought we had a zipper and belt crisis in the bridal suite, but you and your staff fixed both of them right away. To Mr. Chad, we have received several compliments on the words spoken during the ceremony. You also made us feel more comfortable as we stood there and said our vows in front of everyone. The personal attention and detail throughout the night meant the world to us and we are very appreciative of you! A special shout out goes to that awesome photo booth frame. I could have taken pictures all night, but there was a line to get in front of it most of the night! Again, we thank you all for everything you did to make our night special and will recommend anyone looking for a special place to have a special night to the Fleur De Lis Center. You have our permission to post this letter for all to see because we mean every word! We love you guys!!! Sincerely, Chris and Tonya Smyczynski Est. 10/27/17 read more

Absolutely amazing! Everything was perfect; food was delicious, staff was organized, venue was gorgeous, and all the servers catered to our every want. I can't say enough good things about the staff. Kendra was so incredibly helpful with the planning and day of, she's amazing at her job and truly went above and beyond to make my day perfect. Chad was outstanding throughout the whole process. He was so nice and easy to work with and really set my mind and ease during all the craziness of planning a wedding. My guests keep saying that was the best wedding they've ever been to. So glad I chose the Fleur de Lis, my special night was truly magical! read more

Very rude owner. Can't believe they are still open. Guess word needs to get out. Tons of advertising won't help this place. Too expensive for services rendered. Not very helpful either. read more
