Balcony Ballroom

Hands down, choosing The Balcony Ballroom was the best decision of wedding planning. From the very beginning of looking at vendors, the staff and overall look of The Balcony made the biggest impression. One of our friends commented how calm we were the day before the wedding,... Read More and we told them that was absolutely because of The Balcony Ballroom- they handle everything! All we had to do was mention what we wanted, and they made our dream a reality. We received countless compliments from our guests about how much fun they had at the reception. There was nothing that could have been better on our wedding day, and we largely attribute that to The Balcony Ballroom.

Balcony Ballroom - Where do we begin? Once we began planning our daughter's wedding, we knew one of the most important decisions would be the venue. It's no secret that the reception is how many of your guests base their overall opinion of the wedding day. Having had our own... Read More wedding reception at the Balcony 32 years ago, we knew what to expect: exceptional service, great food, and a courteous and accommodating staff but still there were concerns. This was the first and only reception we would host as parents of the bride. It was important to us that ALL of our guests enjoy the experience, not just the bridal party or family members. We did the research and concluded that the Balcony Ballroom was not only the best choice for us, it was the only choice that we felt would exceed the expectations we had set - and did you ever do just that. Michael - you are a rarity. We can't imagine having this reception without you being a part of it from the initial meeting until driving away at the end of the night. Not only are you someone who promised to make the event special, you did it. You were not only receptive to our special requests, you went out of your way to make sure they would happen. The donut tower would not have become a reality had you not personally made time to get the product there for us. The display surpassed what we anticipated and we have received many complements on the work. The setup of the cornhole boards for the guests to sign was perfect. Many other venues would have said no to this different way of having guests sign in but you made it happen. You guided us along the way but never did we feel that we could not have or do something we really wanted and that was very much appreciated. Not only did you fulfill your duties to the fullest but you also took the responsibility for other vendors who failed to fulfill their own obligations just to make sure that we were not disappointed with any aspect of the reception. We thank you for that. The food flowed continuously and still two weeks later we hear how great it was and how beautiful the ballroom is. Those that have not been at the Balcony for over fifteen years were amazed how you have surpassed the high standards set all those years ago and our out of town guests and family who had never been to the Balcony before were amazed by its beauty and elegance . This wedding was a result of many decisions over a sixteen month period. Our decision to have this reception at the Balcony Ballroom was likely the best we made. Thank you for being a part of our daughter's wedding day, making it so special for her and her husband, and most of all for making the entire process stress free for us. We will refer you to all of our friends and family - you made us feel special. Thank you so much!

On Friday, May 12th Dallas and I had our wedding ceremony & reception here and to say it was outstanding would be an understatement ! The staff was perfect ! They're extremely professional and skilled. Every one of our guests raved over how amazing the food was and how beautiful... Read More the wedding was! Mike, Vanessa, and Jay, thank you and your staff so much for making our wedding day so perfect, and going above and beyond, you guys are the real deal!

Thank you all for making our dream wedding a reality! Planning a wedding from out of state could become very stressful and I must say I had a few panic attacks along the way, but I was always assured that everything would be just fine and I can honestly say they were right!... Read More They made sure that everything was a smooth transition and very enjoyable on our big day! My guests and my husband and I enjoyed everything. They are so caring, and organized and that’s what I loved the most ! They are truly on it! The food was amazing, the service was amazing, they are just simply amazing :) I couldn’t have imagined my wedding elsewhere! ❤️ The Cleggetts

Booking our reception at the Balcony was hands down the best decision we made about our wedding! After visiting several venues, and scouring over dozens of websites, we felt very discouraged. Our biggest dream for our reception was to include everyone in our large families,... Read More without having to sacrifice service, food, bar, etc. After visiting the Balcony, and meeting with Vanessa, it was an absolute no-brainer. She was straightforward, honest, kind, and patient. We couldn't believe her when she explained all that would be included in the price per person. When we walked into the gorgeous ballroom, we were still in disbelief. Deciding to go with the Balcony immediately made our entire planning process a piece of cake. Every phone call and email was answered promptly and professionally. On the day, the service was incredible! My husband and I (and our parents) were pampered all throughout the party, and the food was AMAZING. Every effort was taken to turn our dream reception into a reality. We are so glad we chose the Balcony for our reception! Thank you so much Mike and Vanessa!!!!!! You helped us celebrate the happiest day of our lives, and we will never forget your warmth, kindness, and professionalism!!!!

The best hospitality ever!!!!

The staff is amazing!! Vanessa is GREAT!! My day was perfect. The guest enjoyed everything! Food was very tasty. Exceeded my expectations.

All I need to say is WOW! The team at The Balcony are incredible! Mike, Vanessa, Jay: y'all were amazing from the first time I walked in the door: everytime I came by or called about a question I got an immediate answer, the way the activities moved along quickly and easily at... Read More the wedding was phenomenal, the food was incredible and everyone said they were just amazed by the number of options and not too mention the flavors! The DJ played a great variety of music and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. If something spilled during the evening, it may have lasted a few seconds on the floor before someone swooped in to clean it up. The beauty, the precision, the variety, the expediency, the quality,.. everything was beyond my dreams. I just can't express how grateful I am to the entire staff for making my wedding day the best day of my life. Thank you for everything. P.s. Vanessa, thank you for always being ready to re-bustle my dress when i shook it loose dancing!

So my husband and I got married at the Balcony on Aug 5th 2017. Let me just say that they EXCEEDED my expectations for my wedding venue. The entire staff is great, super organized, and on point! Vanessa talks super fast and you'll think she's missing something but I promise, she... Read More isn't. She's on top of every detail and if something is wrong or out of place -she'll fix it--asap. Mike is super chill and just gets stuff handled. He made sure to take care of me, the groom, and our parents the entire night! The food is amazing, and ALL of our guests keep talking about the food. My husband and I want to attend another event there just so we can eat. LOL The only critique I would give is that I wish they gave us more of the food that was passed around at the reception in our little "to go bag". Cause it was just that good. Brides-to-be if you're looking for a place --> This is IT! Huge THANKS to the ENTIRE staff at the Balcony ! Yall were simply amazing and made our big day INCREDIBLE

We knew we wanted to have our reception at The Balcony from the very first wedding we attended there. We have been to so many weddings together over the years and The Balcony was consistently our favorite place. Three days after our engagement we went to The Balcony and... Read More immediately knew it would be the perfect place for us. The staff at The Balcony consistently made our experience leading up to our reception so easy. The night of our wedding was amazing. Everything ran smoothly and we did not have to worry about anything! We truly enjoyed the night by dancing and eating - the two things we wanted to do the most of on our wedding night. Our families have nothing but wonderful things to say about our reception. Mike, Vanessa, and the staff paid attention to every little detail, including providing us with an Uber Black and a little gift bag of food after our arranged ride plans fell through. We would recommend The Balcony to anyone! It truly is the best.

We had the best night of our lives. There's not much more to be said. I can't imagine a wedding reception anywhere else besides the balcony. We were treated like royalty when we booked the venue over 2 years prior to the wedding and on our wedding night they exceeded our... Read More expectations and made the entire night so special. Mike and Vanessa were flawless and the entire staff down to Jacob were personable and social with all of the guests. It's not just the food and drinks that make the balcony special it's the professionalism of all of the staff and the experience servicing couples for decades. Our friends and family from the panhandle of Florida to the northshore of Lake Pontchartrain will be talking of this venue for a very long time. We can't thank y'all enough and hope we have friends choose this venue soon so we can be guests!

The balcony was amazing! The food and service were wonderful and always accommodating especially to the bride and groom, parents and guests. Everything was perfect and we had no problems whatsoever.

My husband just left a review, but everything was so great, I decided to leave one as well. Although I am a New Orleans native, I no longer reside there. I wanted to have a wedding in my hometown but, as you can imagine, it's pretty hard to plan when you live out of state. The... Read More Balcony Ballroom relieved at least 85% of my stress easily. From decor, to food, to attentiveness, and execution, I cannot express how great everything was! About 90% of my guests travelled from out of town and had never experienced New Orleans and a New Orleans wedding. Needless to say, everyone was blown away and had an amazing time. Vanessa, Mike, Jay, and the entire staff exceeded expectations. My husband and I couldn't have picked a better venue. Thank you SO much for making our wedding an unforgettable experience!

The staff was very professional and helpful.Thank you guys for everything, you have really turned our dream wedding into a reality.It was absolutely beautiful

What a BLAST! My husband and I, and all our guests, are still raving about how great The Balcony Ballroom was! First of all, you guys treated us like royalty and made sure every detail was on point and taken care of. I never had to worry about anything when it came to the... Read More reception, you guys were always so receptive and responsive to all my questions! Secondly, the food was absolutely amazing. Mike was so great the whole night and really took care of us and our parents. We didn't want the night to end and wish we could re-live it again and again! Thank you guys for making our night so so special, it was perfect and we would HIGHLY recommend you guys to anyone!

Our reception was perfection from start to finish. Our wedding was over a month ago, but we still have friends gushing about how much fun they had. It's a beautiful place with delicious and plentiful food and the best customer service you can find. If we had to do it all over... Read More again, we wouldn't change a thing.

The Balcony is a great place for a reception. The DJ is great at keeping people dancing and Mr. Mike and Mr. Jay were so sweet and accommodating—you can tell they know what they are doing! The décor was exactly what we wanted and the night was amazing—people are still telling me... Read More a week later what a fun reception it was. The only problems we had were very minor. Some food decisions we had made at the pre-wedding meeting were ignored, and we were told at the pre wedding meeting that if people showed up any earlier than 7:50pm they wouldn’t be let in the doors (which worried me a little since our wedding started at 7pm and was only supposed to last about 30 minutes at most.) It all worked out in the end, and overall it is a great place to have your reception! My parents were extremely well taken care of, which was a big priority for us. The great things well outweigh the bad, just make sure to manage your expectations; all the reviews I had read only talked about how wonderful they were (which they are!) so I had impossibly high standards. Some things might happen that aren’t perfect but it will still be perfect because it’s your wedding!

The Balcony Was Our first Choice for our reception. The package they offer to you goes over and beyond what anyone has. Upon meeting Vanessa, Mike and Jay I was very pleased with their attitudes and their willingness to help in all ways from beginning to end. It was nothing that... Read More they couldn't accommodate me with to make OUR day perfect. They were their every step of the way. I visited frequently and the attitudes were still always pleasant. When arriving at the reception we were immediately taken upstairs where our photos were taken and then we were allowed to eat. Our table was flooded with food 😘😘and our favorite drink. We had a moment to just unwind. The serving staff was amazing, the food was non stop all night. Mike attended to us and kept us on point as well. All of our guest are still saying how beautiful it was, how great the food was and how great the staff was. We love them, had a BLAST and wouldn't have had it any other way. #TheBalconyBallroom The place to have your wedding/reception Thanks Mike, Jay, and Vanessa!

The Balcony Ballroom is the way to go for a elegant wedding. This was the only venue that I went and viewed--from the moment that I opened the doors, I knew it was everything I was looking for plus so much more!
