What a fantastic place for a wedding! Incredible venue, unbelievable food, and attentive staff…read more Emili and Logan were both especially friendly and deserve their kudos. I do think the DJ could use a bit of work. His delivery was a lot more "radio DJ introducing a comedian at a charity event" than it was "fun night of love and togetherness." There were earplugs. There needn't be earplugs at a wedding. Either way, five whole stars easy. The food and the rest of the staff were exemplary.

I did a quick google search of the best venues in New Orleans for Weddings. Southern Oaks was one of the venues that popped up. I planned a weekend trip for January to visit, it was the first stop on my list and I immediately fell in love. Shoutout to Maxwell who took care of me during my site visit and Mr. Bobby the owner who also made sure I had everything I needed to make the most informed decision. If you are still trying to decide to go with Southern Oaks or another venue, book Southern Oaks. I promise you won't be disappointed. 2 months later and my guest are still raving about our wedding being so Amazing. We owe it all to the Southern Oaks staff, all we did was show up and let them work their magic. Some highlights from our big day were the old fashion Rolls Royce that we arrived in, the attention provided to us, our wedding party and parents ( our parents are still talking about how well they looked after me during the reception), the DJ was awesome, the food was delicious and endless and our fireworks exit at the end of the night. From the very first visit to our last encounter with staff everything was Top Notch. 10's across the board. Thank You Mr. Bobby I really appreciate all that you did for us. It was money worth spent

She accused me of throwing cake on the floor as I was folding one of our linens. I made a report to an officer who repeatedly told me that "That's not like her and maybe she accidentally did it while reaching for the linen." I know nothing will come of it but I still decided to share in the hopes that no one else has the same experience. My business partner and I said a prayer each time we went inside the venue. I know it was God and only God that allowed me not to react. Had I reacted and not walked away, the night could have ended worst. I honestly feel that the owner is prejudice and encourage people not to patronize them.

I've attended a few events over the years in this space (and I'm pretty sure I've reviewed it…read morebefore but ???) and last weekend was a family wedding. The space is GORGEOUS. The 1930s fountain is stunning and the colonnade is lush right now with wisteria which gives the whole space a dreamy look. The adjoining event hall is modern with a ton of windows so you can enjoy the beautiful park around you. The staff is top notch! At the last moment rain clouds rolled in and the outdoor wedding had to quickly be moved indoors. This was accomplished quickly and efficiently. The bartenders and servers were great! The food was good and plentiful. Definitely a night to remember!

Who doesn't love an outdoor wedding ceremony on a beautiful sunny day?? Popp Fountain in City Park is the perfect place in the park for such a moment. The fountain is picturesque and makes for an awesome backdrop. The Arbor Room adjacent to the fountain is a big open room that can accomodate over 300 people for your wedding reception. I worked a wedding reception here last night and the Arbor Room was decorated beautifully. The bride and groom loved everything about their wedding. While it wasn't a New Orleans-style wedding it was still loads of fun! (Of course in New Orleans we do almost everything different including our wedding receptions). Everyone loved the food and the band was great (popular local band The Bucktown All Stars). The Arbor Room and Popp Fountain have it all to make your special event perfect.....a wonderful setting, delicious food, plenty of outdoor space, and a great staff.

From the start the communication from the Riverview Room planning team was unorganized. The staff…read morewas dishonest and they had about 3 points of contact, making it very confusing. The building went through a renovation a couple months before my wedding. We asked many times what it would look like and never got an answer. We were even told at one point we could not rehearse on the terrace (where the ceremony was set to be) because they would be finishing up renovation the day before the wedding. When we questioned this, another member of Their team acted like they never told us that. When we got to the rehearsal, it was a mad house. There were workers everywhere. Scaffolding all over the building. Workers painting and renovating on the terrace the entire time we rehearsed the ceremony. Not to mention the coordinator did not speak to me even when we stood side by side. The wedding day, they had extra bars and chairs piled up in the hall making it cluttered and unappealing. They forgot to turn the light on over my cake for a cake cutting. The staff at RR was not organized in the day of plan at all. It was a cluster and as the bride I was very confused what was happening at all times. They also ran out of our specialty cocktails right after the second line. The scaffolding was in almost every photo outside which was a little upsetting considering I booked the venue for the outside views. When I reached out to the venue to express my concern. They wrote me off and said they didn't breach anything in my contract. They were very condescending and tried to invalidate everything I said. A very upsetting, unprofessional and unorganized experience as a bride.

My husband and I had a destination wedding here and got married here last year (Oct. 29th, 2022)…read more The scene is SO gorgeous, and everything is incredibly picturesque. We booked R&R for the three night package, not just for the day of our wedding, and if I were to do it over, I would do it differently. The things they don't tell you: 1. It's VERY loud. The back house (where we stayed), shook when trucks drove past, particularly late at night, and they're driving past ALL THE TIME. So, on the 2 nights I wasn't completely exhausted, I slept VERY POORLY. 2. If you book for more than just your wedding day, and are having people stay there with you, you won't be able to utilize all the gorgeous spaces for your pictures, as people will be in the rooms, getting ready and having their stuff all over... So, our pictures weren't quite as widespread over the venue as I would have liked. Bummer. 3. The window coverings aren't for blackout, so it can be very light in the rooms as you are trying to sleep. For the $500/night per room we paid, one of our guests who had a child, between the light in the room and the noise, had to move out after the first night and get a hotel. BUMMER. So, if I were doing it all over again, I would have the party there, but would retreat back to a different Airbnb, or house, to live the rest of the trip.

SIMPLY DIVINE!!!!!…read more Here for a wedding, this place is the bomb.com. Beautiful inside and outside. Deon & Shaquita's Wedding, Dec 8, 2017; the day it LITERALLY SNOWED in New Orleans, only added to the memories of this auspicious occasion. The venue attendees quickly accommodated for the weather, by way of outdoor heating and covered tents. The cobblestone/brick flooring outside is divine and adds to the over all mystique of the venue. The pond sets the place off to a greater degree. Inside, the upstairs and downstairs decor is astounding. The other areas on the grounds are just as phenomenal. While the food was provided by an outside caterer, it added to the sheer elegance of the event. Great place for a grandiose party, as it'll fit the bill.

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.
