Balcony Ballroom

ng compares to the experience you will receive from the Van Vrancken family and Mike Borne. As soon as you enter the building for a visit, you can tell by how you are greeted at the door with smiling faces and professionalism that this is the only place you should consider. These professionals truly care about their clients and are wholly dedicated to ensuring that you and your guest have the most memorable event ever. The Balcony already has everything you need, from decorations, event lighting, table decorations, DJ, food, drink, and dedicated staff to wait on the wedding couple and parents. Our glasses were never empty, and the food was outstanding. Kudos to the Chef and his team in the kitchen. From the bang bang shrimp to the lamb chops, to the bacon-wrapped quail, the carving stations, the drink stations and on and on, everything was eloquent and top of the line service. Food was never an issue with the Balcony as with only minutes left in the evening, there were still trays of food being passed around; it just kept coming and coming. What a relief knowing that the food and drink never slowed up. I had so many compliments from my guest stating that they had never seen this happen at other venues and how delicious the food was. The music selection by the DJ was also very well received as the dance floor was packed all night. We had sent the DJ a couple of songs that the couple liked, and he just went with the rest. Again I cannot say enough about The Balcony Ballroom. Thank you, Mr. Johnny, Vanessa, Jay and Mike. YOU ARE THE BEST, AND IT SHOWS WHY THE BALCONY BALLROOM SHOULD BE ON EVERYONE's LIST FOR A WEDDING OR PARTY. Our family cannot thank you enough for all you did to make this the most memorable wedding we could ever ask for. I don't know if there is anything that could have been done better; you are FIRST CLASS! Honestly cannot wait to return there for another event and tell you hello.

ect because of Vanessa and her staff but I would literally have chapters of a book before all was said and done. This was the most elaborate wedding and the compliments that I have received because of the roles that Vanessa played , I would think she had to of cloned herself to of had taken care of every attention to detail that I hadn’t even thought of was handled and achieved through Vanessa . The groom said it perfect, Vanessa was born to play this role ! I only know that I was Blessed to of chosen Balcony Ballroom because I have been dreaming of this day forever and also have been dreading the stress of something going wrong but that part never happened and all because of Vanessa . The parents were catered to at the bridal party from taking care of food to dancing the night away . I was told by several people that they had never experienced anything so elaborate as this venue and the food omg the food was so incredible and delicious . Again to mention everything about the food would be literally another chapter! I want to say by choosing Balcony Ballroom not only are you getting a Beautiful venue and unforgettable delicious food , you are getting Vanessa and she’s like having a personal wedding planner because she took care of making sure that my daughter had the most incredible forever memories and that’s the greatest gift that any parent can pray for. Someone had walked up to me and said that I have had the greatest smile on my face the entire night! That’s not only due to my beautiful daughter getting married, it’s because it was truly a most beautiful and magical wedding because of Vanessa, the staff and Beautiful Balcony Ballroom . Thank you Vanessa and staff for making my dreams come true and giving me and my family a Dream Wedding that came true! Truly Grateful, Rita Navarre

of the guests. They ensured everyone had a great time, and the night went off without a hitch. Plus, the food was amazing, and our guests have not stopped raving about the menu. We would absolutely choose the Balcony again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a venue for their wedding.

our lives. They paid attention to every small detail and did not miss a beat. We felt like VIPs the entire evening. The food and drinks were delicious. They literally handled EVERYTHING. Hands down the best venue and staff out there. 11/10 would do it all over again!

and more. It’s almost 3 months later and everyone is still mentioning it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. Thank all of you sooo much for making our day Amazing!! - Duane & Tiffiney Trotter

. 😂 But to Ms. Vanessa I thank you, for making me feel so comfortable in my time of nervousness. You were like a mama bear and I was your cub. You guys made sure as the bride and bride that we did not want for a thing the entire time. The decor was stunning. The food was phenomenal but most of all we felt welcomed. It didn’t matter that we were same sex, it didn’t matter where we were from you made us feel like family. Thank you again truly from the deepest part of our hearts for helping bring together this special day for us. Love, Shareka and Courtney Williams

another venue that offers as much as they do.

ainless experiences in my life & that’s all thanks to the Balcony Ballroom staff! The staff was very personable & covered every minor to major detail of our day. We wanted for nothing! Vanessa personally took care of me when butterflies began to flutter inside me, she made my tears disappear & my walk to my groom was a breeze! Mike would not allow us to even think about if we needed something, because he was there before we could ask. The food! The food was beyond describable, but I'll take a stab at it and say it was seasoned, appetizing, & plentiful! Our guests are still raving about the food! I’ll end with a few comments from my guests. “The Balcony Ballroom is about their business & put on a production!” “This is the wedding to brag about!”

lf, to the food, to the employees… everything was top notch! The staff took such good care of us and ensured that everything ran smoothly. I will never stop raving about the Balcony!

e night they make sure you are happy with everything and in need of nothing. I couldn’t have asked for a better night. Vanessa you’re AMAZING! Also Mike and Jay and the other staff members thank you thank you, it was perfect. We will remember this night forever thanks sooo much Balcony. The Reeds.

guests still talk about how this was the BEST wedding they have attended and we got married 7 months ago! The venue, decorations, food, drinks, and the staff were incredible and this will be a night I will never forget! Thank you Balcony Ballroom for making our dream wedding come true! Everything was just perfect!

ecure parking-Metairie's best kept secret!!! Food assortment was delicious and so many options as well as all the different cocktails-made it a FUN reception!!

want line dances. During the wedding, she kept rushing us because she thought we were taking too long to eat. Then, she waited so long to do the money dance that most people had left. They cut massive slabs of cake, and did not put the layer aside that I had requested. Then when they boxed up the cake for us to take home they completely butchered it. It was crumbs. I'm so disappointed and my husband and I regret booking with them.

ty going. You will not be disappointed having your special day here! We would like to give a huge THANK YOU to Mr. Mike, Vanessa, and Jay for giving us an experience we will hold dear always.

us how much they enjoyed the food and drinks all night long. The food is fantastic and you don’t have to worry about picking anything out because they offer the same top shelve food and drinks package for every event! They take the stress out and allow everything to be done with ease by providing everything in house- including a DJ if needed. The only things we booked additionally were the cake, photo booth and band. Once they were booked, they corresponded with everyone day of and got everything set up. They got any extras, such as memorials and party favors set up before we were there. I cannot give these people enough credit, 10/10, 5 stars, all the above. You are missing out if you don’t book your venue here!

eception as a whole was better than we could’ve ever imagined. You really can’t find a better deal in the New Orleans area!

beyond tending to my husband and me, as well as our families. It was the most amazing night - We wish we could do it all again! Thank you to all of the workers over at The Balcony Ballroom, we will forever be grateful to you!

they are attentive all night long, and like last time EVERYONE has been messaging and texting tell us how great a time and how wonderful the reception was. Without saying the food was fantastic, the drinks over the top and if you leave there either hungry or thirsty, well needless to say, that's almost impossible. You will never run out of either too. This is my final reception....whew... but I will and always recommend this venue over ANYWHERE in the city of New Orleans.. There's a reason they have been doing this, well almost forever.. Thanks again you guys for making things easy and making my second daughter's reception perfect.. I cant wait to enjoy my next one purely as a guest at THE BALCONY BALLROOM!!!!!!!!

re! We had a wonderful time! Thanks to all at The Balcony.

e getting far more than you pay for. I truly feel indebted to Vanessa and her team. I truly felt like the only bride in the world. They accommodated every tiny thing we asked for. Place your trust in Vanessa and she will not let you down. I will never forget my ceremony and reception at BB and I would do it 20 times over. I am so glad I used BB and it is unbelievable how beautiful the place is. Thank you for everything Vanessa and team, you are wonderful!

am of plus more. And don’t get me started on the FOOD!!!!!! 3 weeks later and we are STILL raving about the food. There were so many options for different types of pallets plus more than I even thought about. Wow. Roderick and I truly loved every aspect of this place. We really wish that we could get married AGAIN so we can relive March 19 all over. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You truly know how to run the wedding business!! -Roderick & Kierra Blouin

ion, to making sure that we were well fed before mingling with all of our guests (took care of our parents too!), our special day was made even more perfect at this amazing venue! From the beautiful lighting, the awesome DJ, the excellent food and the attentive staff you can’t go wrong choosing The Balcony for your wedding - we’d choose them over and over!

rom the beautiful venue, to the crazy good food, to the AMAZING staff... I could seriously talk about them for days!! ( and most likely will for years!) From the start I felt like I was in good professional hands! We had to plan a wedding from California and the communication, help, and guidance throughout this process with The Balcony Ballroom is every couples dream when planning a wedding! Although they have been in this business for longer than I have been alive and they have had so many weddings celebrated there, the staff made me feel like my wedding was the royal wedding! They have thought of EVERYTHING and made the night so seamless to the point, that all my friends, family, and my spouse had to do, was enjoy every moment together. Our guest raved about the service from the time they stepped off the busses! I mean this is the dream spot for a wedding! <3 I woke up this next morning and said, can we do this all over again?! :) So thankful to The Balcony Ballroom family/team for our wedding day so special for everyone!

event here and they will show you what real Magic is. From planning, meetings, picking out your table cloths and wall colors the week of, they made everything easy and stress free. Our guest are still talking about the how delicious the food was, how many food options there were and how clean the building was kept. If a drink spilled, this team had it cleaned before you knew your drink hit the ground! Vanessa, Mike and Jay will be your best friends and your go to all night and they will make sure you want for nothing. You cannot get service like their staff provided anywhere else in Louisiana!
