Great place for a medium sized wedding…read more Staff was fabulous. Not sure who did the catering, but the food was delicious. The bride and groom looked so happy and the courtyard and side area where the wedding was held were perfect for photos. Plenty of parking. Highlight of the evening was a surprise second line with a six piece jazz band. Loved the trumpet and trombone players. So much high energy. Perfect way to end a beautiful wedding and start a wonderful marriage.

I cannot express how disappointed I am with Nola Party Rentals. I ordered 50 white chairs in June…read morefor my daughter's wedding in October. The girl taking my order was new, so I was very patient when got my order wrong 4 times. However, she had no problem taking my payment for of over $600. Two weeks before the wedding I called to confirm. The same girl, still very confused. She finally assured me that my chairs would be delivered on time for the ceremony. The day of the wedding, I had a friend go to the venue to meet the delivery people at 3pm (the time they promised) and they did not show up. The ceremony took place at 5pm and all of guests had to stand. Thankfully, it was a short ceremony, and the guests were very understanding. When we contacted Nola Party Rentals, the owner had the nerve to text me saying "if I would have text them two hours prior this would not have happened. This was my daughter's wedding day! We finally got a refund after a week. I cannot with a good heart recommend this company.

I first met Katie two years ago, when she helped me with my daughters law school graduation. I was…read morefrom out of town, so I knew I would need some local help. She just took care of everything, throughout the whole evening! I was able to really enjoy the party, and not have to worry about the food, clean-up, keeping everyones glass filled. She just did it, with just about zero direction from me. If you ever need someone to help you from the smallest to the largest even, Katie is your person to call. She is polite, focused and very unobtrusive. She is just the best. When my daughter was getting married on April 3rd, 2015, I called Katie again, just to be my "go to" person the day of the wedding. Once again, she didn't disappoint. She ordered and picked up the food for the hotel, where the wedding party was, and spent the day with us (bride and bridemaids) helping us get ready. Little did I know she also can do hair, and nails! One of the bridesmaids has really curly hair and was struggling with it. So Katie asked if she wanted her to help, and voila! Her hair updo was beautiful. Same thing for the maid of honor, who didn't like the way the salon had done her hair, so Katie played with it, and transformed it into adorable. She also did my daughters nails. She was actually the best decision I made as far as planning for the wedding. She went to the wedding, and made sure our out of town guests were taken care of before she left. My only regret is that she doesn't live in Portland!! She goes above and beyone on every level.

My business partner and I decorated the venue for a wedding. We endured countless insults while…read moresetting up and at the end of the event the owner Fran assaulted me. 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 first heard about Big Easy sportsplex from a coworker that was working at Big Easy…read moresimultaneously. I'm not sure if he still works here, but Brandon Rousseve is definitely an amazing personal trainer and baseball player! Anyway, I've been wanting to check it out since about 2011 when I heard the jaw-dropping words "indoor batting cages." What could be better than an indoor place to play your favorite sports during our hot and humid summers? Of course, it would be even better if I had come when I could actually PLAY one of these sports; unfortunately, my injured wrist won't be permitting that anytime soon. Besides batting cages they have a baseball diamond, basketball courts, an indoor volleyball court, free weights, and a concession stand just to name a few things. From what I can see, it looks like they have some weight machines on the second floor. I'm guessing this might come with one of their fitness packages. Big Easy Sportsplex is definitely one of New Orleans' hidden gems. It's a great play to play indoors with a very fair price that won't break the bank. Thank you to the person who decided to create this great place! I can't wait to come enjoy it when my wrist is healed. In the meantime, I'll sit back, drink my icee, and watch my friends. I met Josh Tolbert towards the end of the night, and he gave me a mini tour. Thanks, Josh!

Great Professional…read more Exceptional Some of the few words I could use to describe my experience with this company. Jorge is awesome. His personality and character is addicting and proves that there's still good people out in the world. He's very professional and easy to get in contact with. Responds in great time. Jorge is also well rounded with all types of music and different events for certain environments. As I looked around in my crowd I didn't not see one foot that wasn't tapping to the beat. I recommend him to anyone and everyone especially since he's in the NOLA now giving the area his Miami touch.

I was able to handle everything via their Instagram DM so it was really fast and efficient. Laying out all of the details ahead of time was so reassuring. What's great about GNC is they handle all the set-up, secure the location, very detail oriented, and handle all the breakdown and cleanup! All you have to do is bring the alcohol or any preferred choice of beverage. Your reservation includes a two hour reservation with the set-up and you can pay for additional hours and guests if desired. Since this was for Valentine's Day it was just for my partner and I. We were placed at the Tree of Life and I was contacted the day of with all updates. When we parked in front of the tree, my partner and I were in absolute awe of the set-up. GNC had it beautifully set up and had the area reserved with a private picnic in action. There was a mini heat generator, champagne bucket, still and sparkling water bottles, our charcuterie and sweet board, pillows, lounge pillows, blankets, so many cute VDay details, and even a few lagniappes for us to enjoy. GNC is all about the details and the Assorted Boards charcuterie boards were delish! I highly recommend using them for special occasions, dates, or a large family and friend function. I'll definitely be using this upscale service again! BTW it is SUPER AFFORDABLE.
