Just wanted to share with @everyone that we had a terrible experience with Big Easy Events for…read morelinen rentals for our wedding, and hope to save others from the same misery! At our wedding there were candles, and after they picked up all the linens they emailed us saying we had to pay for every single one due to wax splatter making it unrecoverable. We were available during pickup and no one contacted us to discuss at that time. Never in many discussions regarding our order, or in person on site visits or drop off, or in our contract did it discuss use of candles or requirements in doing so, and they have pictures on their website and Instagram with candles on tables. They expected us to know that we needed plates under the candles, even votives or candle sticks in case of wind, but this being our first wedding we were not aware and were never told! Before even starting discussions with us regarding any damage, they added a $500 charge to our account to pay to purchase every linen we rented. When we pushed back via email they removed one table cloth they said was ok. When we asked for pictures we were sent pictures that raised alarm as they seemed well within what one would expect to return from a wedding rental (some examples attached). When we went there in person, after lots of heated discussion and changing stories from their representative Melanie, we removed another 10 linens from discussion that had very little wax on them, and some they were trying to charge us for just had food on them! There was also a table cloth in the pile they were trying to charge us for that had wax that was blue on it, a color we did not have at our event. So if we had not come to investigate we would have been charged for food spills as well as drops of wax from maybe wind blowing on a candle, and a table cloth that was not even at our event. I understand being asked to discuss a pile of wax from a candle, even if we had not been told before and it didn't mention it in the contract, but that was not what was brought up as an issue and getting to the point that we were just discussing those items was extremely painful. We were yelled at while keeping our voices at a normal level, and the accusations and standards of what they asked us to pay for changed throughout the discussion, making it very difficult to have a rational discussion. The price they deemed per item was way above what I found for similar table cloths brand new online, up to $38 per item. When we finally settled on what I still believe to be an unfair payment just to have this be over, they charged my card for $40 more than we agreed and did not respond to my three emails discussing the overcharge. After I finally got ahold of the owner on the phone, he said they added sales tax to our agreed upon charge. When I said that we had agreed that my card would have a charge for the exact amount and it was over that amount he said that he would credit me the whole thing and get his attorney involved instead. We genuinely would have been better off buying linens ourself than going through them. Truly the most sour experience that I have ever had with any contractor or vendor.

Their luxury event rentals are next level and can elevate any event, big or small. I attended their holiday/anniversary party this week and had the chance to tour their space, and it was incredible. Seeing all of their rentals beautifully displayed on full stages really showed how many creative possibilities they offer. From massive tents to impressive staging and specialty décor pieces, everything was stunning and high quality. Love the creativity they presented and gave me so many ideas for future events. If you're planning an event and want unique, luxury elements that make a statement, Element should be at the top of your list. Perfect blend of professionalism, creativity, and style. Love it!

We wanted the space to feel elevated without overdoing decor, and the plant rentals were the perfect solution. They styled greenery throughout the venue to frame the stage, soften hard edges, and create a more polished experience for guests.

If you're planning a corporate event and want a clean, modern way to elevate the space, Jungle Truck is a great option.

We rented about 100 chairs and 2 tables from Party Rentals Delivered for our wedding ceremony on…read moreApril 11. The delivery was right on time, and setup was handled quickly and professionally. Picking up the chairs/tables after the ceremony was also right on time and efficient. Communication with the company before the ceremony was also great - we needed a couple of changes, and they always responded promptly and helpfully. The wedding was held at the Peristyle at City Park, and I was worried they might run into issues because the parking right by the venue was taken, but the two men Party Rentals Delivered sent handled it without an issue. I wish I had their names - they were great! To sum it up - the last thing I wanted to deal with on the day of our wedding was a logistical issue with the chairs. Party Rentals Delivered were so professional, quick, and helpful that I honestly didn't even notice them working until all the chairs were set up! I highly recommend them for any of your rental needs.

My partner and I are planning our winter wedding. We had been in contact with Michael since August…read moreand immediately provided our floor plan to assist in the process. Throughout the correspondence with him, things seemed to be understood and going smoothly. Unfortunately, this did not last. After a couple of back and forth exchanges regarding the amount of tables and linens would be needed it seemed like it was never understood that because our venue was multi-storied (mezzanine and rooftop- indicated on the provided floor plan) we would be charged extra fees to deliver our rentals. We'd reached a point where we were being told that they needed to add a multi-level delivery fee and an extra $1000 if the items weren't delivered back to the first floor at the end of the reception. However, they stated that the multi-level delivery fee would NOT cover the delivery or set up of the chairs to the roof and that we would need to complete this task ourselves. After questioning this and asking for additional explanation to understand the fee(s), we were met with little flexibility, discontinuing of services, and the unwillingness to communicate in a medium that wasn't via email. Our take is that since our guest list was expansive, the bandwidth of the company could not cover the uncertainties that arise when you have a guest list of over 175 and are having your ceremony and reception at a multi storied venue. Therefore if you're planning a larger wedding with similar needs to ours search elsewhere.

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.
