I attended a wedding this weekend at the Cedar Post Barn and was a little underwhelmed…read more The venue is located in Albany, LA, which is a rural community about an hour from New Orleans. It looks like a large fishing camp on the outside. It's raised and sits over a large pond. The ceremony was performed on a deck overlooking the pond, which was sweet, but it was very warm. I was in a dress and heels, my husband was in a suit and tie and we were sweating. It was only 75 degrees, but there was no breeze and bugs were buzzing. Once the ceremony was over, we were ushered to the inside of the structure. It looked like a barn. Big open space, lots of wood. There was a bar and his and hers restrooms. That's about all there was to it. The main ladies room doors were swinging doors! Give me a door knob please!!! Also, the stall doors had those hooks that latch into the loop thingy. I haven't seen those things in years. It didn't feel quite private enough. These are restrooms people! The AC inside was blowing like a hurricane in a few spots in the room. There were spots where no one sat because it was just too cold and uncomfortable. I don't know if the venue provides food or not, but for this wedding, the bride's family took care of the food. After we ate, no one came by to pick up our plates. I had to walk around to find a garbage can near the bar because there were no others that I found. The parking area is the grass out front. We parked on the grass with everyone else and then walked in rocks to get to the building. Our shoes were muddy and scraped. I thought that the pond was nice, and the barn look was ok if that's what you are looking for, but this was too out of the way to have so many issues. We drove for a little over an hour to sweat, bus our own tables, scratch up our shoes and feel uncomfortable using the restrooms.

They were very nice and helpful with anything we needed. The staff helped make my day be as less…read morestressful as possible. Everything was beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious. Thank y'all all so much!

The Castine Center is a unique place. Located inside Pelican Park, it serves as the administrative…read moreoffices for the park as well as a multi purpose facility available for rent. I've been there for gun shows, fundraisers, school functions, and most importantly, the recreational league team draft. Northshore residents who live in Recreation District 1 pay property taxes to fund the park, the center and the improvements to the area. Being able to see where those dollars go actually makes me happy to pay those taxes every year. The Castine Center can be rented in sections or as a whole. Depending on the type of event it can be super fancy or super casual. There is a large parking area out front that can accommodate pretty large crowds. During the team drafts for recreational sports we have the place all to ourselves. Even though I've been there for many different events, I really enjoy the team drafts. We have the place all to ourselves as we sit around picking teams and laughing at the super competitive coaches trying to relive their youth. Most of us are there to help teach the kids and have a good time, but some of those people are serious as if it's the NFL draft. If you're looking to book an event, or have any business with the park, check out The Castine Center.

The building is actually located in the back of a really big park. There's a sign that you follow and you drive down a winding road and there you are. The venue itself is nice- there is plenty of parking and the room is really big with a stage and enough space so that you don't feel cramped. The staff that was working was good at picking things up when needed and keeping things organized. I had a good time at the event that I attended here and I would recommend this spot if you are looking to host a party.

Everything was set up and ready to go, I didn't have to worry about anything but our guests. More recently we rented chairs and tables from them for a graduation party.

Our experience with The TentMan couldn't have been better. We planned a small outdoor wedding due…read moreto Covid, with 18 guests. We ordered two tents with flooring, 20 chairs, 5 tables and linens from The TentMan. From the start, the interactions were great. My wife dealt with Alysia in the office, who helped us figure out the best sizes and arrangements of the tents (the planner on their website was also useful for this). We were concerned about bad weather, and Alysia told us they'd monitor in the week leading up to the wedding and decide the best day to set up and whether we should add sides to the tent, instead of having them as open canopies. Well, it's New Orleans! It poured and poured and howled a gale. There was a brief letup two days before our wedding, so they set the tents up then, with sides added (windows in some, which was great). Paul aka The TentMan, and his crew were efficient, affable and great to deal with. Come our wedding, the rain stopped 30 minutes before it started! The backyard was awash, but the floor stayed mostly dry and the tent was a delight to be in. Sturdy and well sealed. Paul's crew returned Monday to take things down. We're so happy we used The TentMan. They checked all the boxes: helpful, communicative, on time, efficient, and great value. If we ever marry again, we'll be calling on them again. Nah! :-) But if we have another big outdoor do, we'll know where to go.
