I mean where do I start?!
This venue was absolutely amazing! The staff was over the top helpful, kind and so efficient. It is a large team that helps make the night move effortlessly and smoothly throughout the time. They kept the schedule moving seamlessly without it feeling forced or too structured, where no time was wasted and every moment was taken advantage of. I also did not have a wedding coordinator, they handled everything!
The hit of the night was food, this was one thing my husband and I were adamant on. We had our wedding on a Friday night during Lent, and they provided a huge range of options catering to everyone. This was something that everyone was talking about after. Thank you so much to Kris!
The space itself is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. The ceremony was outside and was intimate and special. Once you go inside it is a breathtaking ballroom. They also provided many different decor and floral packages that you can add on at a reasonable price. This helped me keep my floral and decor budget smaller and used towards other things. I was able to bring in anything I wanted and they executed that vision exactly how I imagined. I brought all my items the week of the wedding, and once that was done all the pressure was off until after the big day. They truly made it so easy to make the entire wedding planning process come to be.
Now this is a personal shout out to KRISTEN. She is a gem. From our first walk through to the days after the wedding. She was communicative, kind, efficient, and on top of everything! This woman went above and beyond my expectations. She brought so much peace to me on the day of, which is really all you want once all your hard work is done. She was everywhere at once. Warm beer or empty glass, she was standing there with a new one while managing the entire front of the house. She was my angel on my wedding day!
I could not recommend this venue enough!!!!

The Champagne Palace is a 5 star establishment for a wedding! The location was perfect to get married in a place that exemplified the true hospitality New Orleans is known for. The owner Kris who was there from our initial tour to the end of our reception shows how much he cares for his couples. His team at the venue are caring, supportive, intuitive and prepared for everything. He even stayed late to show my family around so we could secure our date that was very special to us. No need to stress. Kris helped bring our vision to life and was always just a phone call away. Many of our guests, including my husband and I, experienced excellent service. From the gardens (which are incredibly beautiful and immaculate) to the bridal suite allows you to have multiple photos from your day. The reception food was fantastic. Our attendant always knew when we needed another drink. We recommend the Champagne Palace without hesitation. Thank again for all your dedication.

A big Thank You to the Champagne Palace! Everything was made so easy with their help. We are so happy we selected this beautiful venue. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous and the main ballroom is an extension of the very same beauty. I kept wanting more and more photos to capture every moment. Our guests, bridesmaids, groomsmen, family members and my hubby & I were all impressed with the flow of the event, the food (plenty of selections and excellent) and the open bar. Almost everything was included in the package. Kris was amazing from day 1 (our tour) to the end of our event, he was a huge help with any questions I had, the customer service and professionalism that was shown is truly memorable. I highly recommend this venue to any couples looking to have a great time as we all did! We thank you all again from the bottom of our hearts. We hope to come to another event soon in the future.

The way the staff at champagne palace treated me and my family can’t be put in words. They truly exceeded our expectations. They were very organized from the moment we booked them. Everything was the way it was suppose to be. If there was any mistakes on wedding day I knew nothing about and didn’t realize it. The food and drinks were really good. The food was freshly made. My husband and I were so pleased.

We are from out of state and selected the Champagne Palace for our wedding venue. After reading the many reviews and seeing pictures of the venue and we even made an appointment to view with Kris, we knew it would be the perfect fit, and we were very happy with our selection. I was anxious planning a such a big moment in our lives from afar. However, Kris and his team made the entire process seamless from the very beginning to finish. They were always receptive of all the questions I had over months of planning and they provided an incredible list of vendors, ideas for our reception, to our final meeting in which we went over the course of the event that made it enjoyable. The hospitality that was shown was second to none. It was an impeccable experience that will not be forgotten. We received numerous compliments from every single guest, family members on the amazing service, food and the beauty of the venue. Several of our guests said the event was “the best wedding they ever attended”. The band was amazing and when the band went on break the DJ played our most important requested songs. We are so thrilled with our decision for our wedding day. Truly the best day ever, thanks to the Champagne Palace and we highly recommend the venue to anyone looking to celebrate their special day.

Kris and Kristin and the entire staff at Champagne Palace helped my husband and I immensely with having the most flawless day!

Working with the Champagne Palace to plan my daughter’s wedding was a pleasure. We had less than a year to plan the event, and from the moment I had met with Kris, I knew we were in good hands. Our first impression was positive and made a huge impact in why we chose the venue. Of course, the beauty of the venue and the gardens made it a wonderful choice for a wedding, but the choice to have the wedding at the Champagne Palace had a lot to do with other factors such as my perception that they would provide a well-executed and elevated experience. We worked with Kris and Kristin who was incredibly patient with us and guided us through the entire process. As a person who values organization, time management, and kindness, I cannot say enough about how thoroughly they embodied the perfect vision in organizing the wedding. The crawfish bread was absolutely amazing! I had attended a wedding at the Champagne Palace in June of 2023 and that is what led us back. They provided us with guidance as we made decisions about what we were planning, and recommended and gave us any feedback from outside vendors that they have worked with on a regular basis who had an excellent track record. We went with these vendors, and they all performed spectacularly. There is a certain rhythm to their operations, and the outside vendors know exactly when to arrive, the layout of the facility, and how long the jobs will take, so the ultimate result is a well-orchestrated event. They knew just what questions to ask and gave us excellent advice. For the actual wedding ceremony, we were tremendously impressed by the behind-the-scenes organization of our pre-wedding arrival, the procession, and the way they helped us with the timing of when to walk and where to stand. The wedding went flawlessly. When it came time for the reception and dancing, we were highly pleased with the service and the deliciousness of the food. Everyone commented on the quality of the food, and we had some serious foodies in our party. When it was time to leave, everything was extremely organized, and they provided assistance in helping us to take all of our personal items and gifts. All in all, I was extremely satisfied with the experience and unreservedly recommend the Champagne Palace for your next event.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding than The Champagne Palace. From the moment we first visited, we were captivated by its beauty and elegance. The venue itself is stunning, providing a picturesque backdrop that made our special day even more magical.
One of the standout aspects of The Champagne Palace is the incredible support and coordination provided. We had the pleasure of working closely with Kris and Ms. Kristen, who went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Their professionalism, dedication, and warm personalities made the planning process smooth and stress-free.
The Champagne Palace also comes with a coordinator, which was a game-changer for us. Having someone who was experienced and attentive to guide us through the entire process was invaluable. Kris and Ms. Kristen were always available to answer our questions, provide suggestions, and accommodate our requests, ensuring that everything ran seamlessly on the big day.
Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and how flawlessly everything was executed. If you're looking for a venue that combines breathtaking aesthetics with exceptional service, The Champagne Palace is the place to be. We are forever grateful to Kris, Ms. Kristen, and the entire team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

My husband & I absolutely loved having our wedding reception at the Champagne Palace. This venue has been a dream of ours for so long, and we were on cloud nine after booking. The venue itself is gorgeous and has everything included. Beyond that, every person we worked with was extremely professional and organized. We worked closely with Kris throughout the process of preparing for our day and he was great to work with, extremely attentive, detail oriented. He made us feel at ease and helped our whole day go smoothly and even better than we could have dreamed for. All of our guests had an amazing time and the night went by so quickly. I recommend this venue to any and everyone.

My husband James and I just had our wedding here on March 8th 2024 . We are from California and when I say Kris was the best he was the best !!!! He made our process feel at ease even all the way from California . He helped us with giving us names of bands, cakes , and flower vendors since we didn’t know which one to go too as you can imagine how much we would have paid if we ordered everything from California and had it shipped . His recommendations saved us so much time and money and the VENUE and the food was amazing . Our 200 guest who flew out for our wedding is still talking about how much fun they had and how they enjoyed the venue and the food. Kris organization skills are top tier as he can help you complete your vision and more . Weddings can be stressful specially planning from another state but Kris was hands on with every email and every call. If we could do a replay we would choose Kris and the champagne palace over and over again !!! It did rain on our day but Kris made my nerves calm as he said he can make it as beautiful as it would be outside and I must say it was beautiful 😍. We want to thank you again Kris and your team we had a ball it was def one for the books 🥰

The Champagne Palace is hands down the most beautiful venue we had come across. Once you walk in, it is has the “wow factor." Further, its location is great and close to many restaurants, hotels and things to do for out of town guests. This is what made us first fall in love with the venue and feel so lucky to have our ceremony and reception there. From the food and drinks everything was great. However, the real gems are the people who work there. Kris is extremely well organized, responsive and is happy to make your vision a reality. On a personal level, I found Kris and his staff very easy to get along with and straight forward. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the wedding industry. I cannot express in writing how easy they made the wedding planning process and how perfect our wedding day was with their customer service and attentiveness. Moreover, since the space is already so stunning (we literally had guests come up to us with their mouths agape to exclaim this to us). It is the best venue in New Orleans hands down.

The venue was stunning inside and out. The gardens were absolutely beautiful especially with their ceremony upgrades. For the reception we had 250 guests which was easily handled with the large venue. We made sure our guests had ample room for sitting, dancing and mingling. The food was phenomenal and we had an open bar which everyone enjoyed. It is literally endless options with food and drinks. Kris was absolutely professional and did everything and more to make sure our night went perfect. Customer service was top notch. Thank you again.

The moment I stepped into the Champagne Palace, I was struck by its sheer beauty. The venue was impeccably decorated, with every detail carefully thought out to create an elegant atmosphere. From the stunning floral arrangements, to the flickering candles that cast a warm glow, every aspect of the decor was simply breathtaking. That was the easy part!
But it wasn't just the aesthetics of the venue that impressed me. Kris & the staff were incredibly attentive and professional, ensure that every guest was comfortable and had everything they needed. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and friendly faces, and it was clear that the team had everything under control.
The food was also absolutely delicious! From the hors d'oeuvres to the main course, every dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. The menu was thoughtfully curated, offering a wide range of options to suit every taste and dietary requirement. And the presentation of the food was simply exquisite.
Overall, I cannot recommend your wedding reception venue highly enough. It is truly a hidden gem, offering an unparalleled level of elegance, sophistication, and luxury. If you are looking for the perfect venue to host your wedding reception, look no further than this incredible space.

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding at this beautiful venue, and we couldn't have been happier with our experience. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to ensure that our day was perfect. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful views (the gardens & indoors) and a charming atmosphere that set just the right tone for our day.
Throughout the planning process, the venue's team was incredibly responsive and accommodating, helping us to customize every detail of our wedding to our exact specifications. No need for a coordinator Kris was amazing! On the day of the event, everything went off without a hitch, and we were able to relax and enjoy our day knowing that we were in good hands.
The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the overall experience was truly unforgettable. We would highly recommend the Champagne Palace to anyone looking for a beautiful and stress-free wedding experience. Thank you to the entire team for making our day so special.

We could not have asked for a better wedding venue, the whole venue is extravagant. The ceremony was held outside in the gardens and then our guests were escorted in the reception area. With everything included at the venue from the décor, bar, food, up lighting and so much more that is offered through the Champagne Palace. The planning process was easy enough. The food was delicious! The day of coordinator made sure everything was in order and everything was the way we wanted things as we planned during our last appointment. We could not have asked for a better team and are so grateful for all the staff who showed professionalism and outstanding customer service.

I'm not sure where to start for this absolutely incredible experience. My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams at the Champagne Palace. When beginning to look around for venues, I had done a quick Google search for places which accommodate small weddings in Louisiana since it was a destination. This was the first venue I chose to peruse. I decided to call, and the minute I spoke with Kris (who was very quick to respond), I knew we had found our location. Everything provided exceeded our hopes and expectations. The entire process of planning was so easy and seamless. They made every effort to accommodate us in anyway to make our day for us special. We didn't have to stress about a thing. Everything was inclusive except for other main vendors. Champagne Palace fit our budget perfectly. During the reception, the staff were amazing and kind to everyone, and treated us, literally, like royalty. Our friends and family raved for weeks about how incredible everything was. I recommend this venue and all of it's staff.

My wedding at this beautiful venue was unforgettable. We utilized the outdoor garden for the ceremony and the indoor space for the reception. I speak directly from my heart when I say this, “the customer service that is provided is unmatched.” They make everything so seamless. There is no need to hire a separate coordinator as they took the reins of control of coordinating setting up delivery times, keeping us on time. It was great having a personal coordinator from day one that was included in the package, they helped us with vendors, details both big and small. The food was amazing and the garden was pristine. The attendant made sure that we sat down to enjoy ourselves and got to eat! We were impressed with the food presentation. The entire night we always had a drink in our hand, and knew what was going to be next for us to do. From our dances to the cake, bouquet and garter toss. We also did a rose petal throw as our exit which was a great idea from Kris and it made our exit really fun. We had an amazing night and could not have been more perfect. had the most perfect night of our lives, We hope this review helps with the decision making for any couple.

We just had our beautiful daughter's and son in law wedding at the Champagne Palace. The event was absolutely amazing. From the top tiered customer service to the planning, the event was perfect. From the first introduction for my daughter and her husband for the dance till the end of the end of the night it was a terrific time (all of our guests danced the entire time). The venue is absolutely beautiful and no outside decoration is needed. The food was incredible and we had extra boxes sent with us. Kris and his team made the evening memorable. Myself, both sides of the family, the bride and groom and all of our guests are still talking about how great everything was and still complimenting the Champagne Palace on the food!! My husband and I would recommend this outstanding venue to anyone that is looking for a great time, delicious food and professional customer service.

My husband and I had our wedding at the Champagne Palace. We choose the beautiful month of October, the venue and gardens were absolutely elegant. From start to finish our dream day was made reality. Kris made sure our entire customer service experience lived up to their reputation from the initial walk-through of the venue, any questions we had to the day of the wedding were answered. The thing we loved most about the venue is that you can have an elegant ceremony outside and then the reception was inside. The food and drinks were top notch and a hit with guests. We had a very large guest turnout which was no problem for the venue. On behalf of both of our families, thank you to the Champagne Palace and your team for the tremendous effort that went into every small and large detail. We will highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience at the Champagne Palace. They made planning our special day that much easier. As mother of the bride, I was truly impressed with the level of service and gratitude Kris had showed us throughout the entire planning process and the organization the night of the event. He is a true professional and I couldn't have asked for more of a helpful team to work with. Kris provided more recommendations along the way as the date approached. He went out of his way multiple times to accommodate my requests. We had the ceremony in the gardens and we utilized the beautiful new arch that is offered which made the ceremony that much more beautiful. The food was excellent and the guests told me how great everything was. Thank you again for making our daughters wedding that much more special. Thank you for showing our family and friends the meaning of hospitality, kindness and customer service.

Having our destination wedding reception at the Champagne Palace was our dream come true and it was a long time planning through everything that has thrown curve balls at us. It was absolutely with it!! The venue has all the beautiful decor and the staff was very accommodating in every way we could imagine, including the gorgeous gardens. My husband and I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for an elegant place for an unforgettable time. We were very impressed with the customer service, food and hospitality that was showed to all of our guests! Before the ceremony, Kris knew exactly how to make the bridesmaids and myself feel like royalty! He waited on each of my bridesmaids bringing them the highly recommended Espolon Tequila (absolutely smooth and in my opinion better than Patron) and even more he offered food and catered to each one of my bridesmaids were he brought food before the ceremony. The weather almost didn’t cooperate, but Kris was calm and collective and assured us he would do everything to make it happen. We waited a short time for the weather to clear up so we could have our dream ceremony in the gardens. Thank you and your wonderful staff for showing our guests a great time and making our night absolutely spectacular. Thank you all so much.

After meeting with the owner Kris, he was very thorough provided us with information. We are grateful for we had someone that stays current with wedding trends. Our guests were treated to a grand event. Kris was on par with the guidance from photos, eating, etc. He did not leave my wife and I’s side. We cannot thank everyone who took part for being so patient and professional. Thank you!!!!

The Champagne Palace is the venue for hosting a wedding. The property is beautiful and kept in pristine care. They do it all, which believe me was priceless. We didn't need a day of planner because Mr. Kris was so helpful and hands on. Everything went very smoothly and was organized. The food was absolutely delicious and the premium open bar kept the guests going back. We had all compliments from family and guests. The night felt like a dream. We will highly recommend to anyone.

I cannot say enough amazing things about the Champagne Palace. Planning a wedding can be time consuming, but Kris was professional and kind. He helped us plan from day one and was there to make sure the reception was beautiful. Any questions we had it they were immediately answered which means a lot to us. At our final appointment they got the information to contact our vendors to coordinate timing. The venue is beautiful, large and comes fully decorated. All of our family and guests were impressed with the service we received. Food, drinks and dancing is what everyone did!! Our daughter's wedding was a dream come true for us.

I wish I could give 10 stars but 5 will suffice! Champagne Palace did a PHENOMENAL job in making our vow renewal and reception so seamless and beautiful! They made our day so stress free. From the beginning, Kris and Katherine were so positive and 100 percent invested in making our day special. Every time I called or met with Katherine, she was always so helpful! The assistants the day of our vow renewal were also so incredible and just went BEYOND anything I could ask for! They were so attentive, nice and helped ensure everything ran smoothly. They were also not just checking on us, giving us drinks and food throughout the day, but would even check on my extended family members and friends too! The food was excellent! We received so many compliments about how beautiful everything was. Would absolutely book with CP for future events. The CP team did such an incredible job. (I want someone to book with CP soon and invite me so I could go there again LOL!)

I am so happy we chose the Champagne Palace to host our beautiful wedding. We had family from all over the world attend. Kris ensured our special food accommodations and requests came to light. Kris was there through every process from start to finish. The night of our wedding went just the way we imagined it. My husband and I went in the week of and dropped off all of our decorations and favors. Kris and his team knew exactly where to put our flowers, guestbook and favor bags. The place looked amazing and we got so many compliments on how beautiful the everything was! That speaks volumes at how genuine and caring the staff is. I can't thank the Champagne Palace enough for executing such a special night to perfection. I recommend them to anyone looking for an equities event.

Very happy with Champagne Palace. The venue itself is stunning. I LOVE the torch. The LED lights on the inside set an amazing mood and they give you the option on what color lights you want. I was very particular with the setlist I gave them for the reception and they followed it to a tee. They don't have a DJ, moreso they have a MC/sound guy, but they make it work. The photo/video slideshow throughout the reception is a nice touch. They do not offer any rehearsals, but it's really not needed as once you arrive there on your wedding day, they have plenty of team members who organize everything and have it all run smooth. They also are open throughout the week to schedule you to come in should you ever need to meet with officials or go through any inquiries you have. The food was delicious! They give you to go plates at the end of the night because more than likely, you will be so excited/frantic that you won't be able to eat all the great food they offer (Though I wish they would have included all of the pastas in the to go plates). Their staff makes sure all of the items you bring in for the ceremony/reception are returned to you at the end of the night. They do as much as possible to keep you stress free and focused on your celebration. Katherine was great and she was patient and receptive to all of my crazy and particular requests. I did special wrestling theme music entrances for the groomsmen entrances at the reception and Champagne Palace let us pull it off exactly how we wanted. Thankfully, we ran into no issues that would have hindered our night so I'm very grateful for that. We entertained having a band for a second line but the price for one to have it at Champagne Palace is a bit ludicrous IMO, however they did allow us to have Mardi Gras Indians with minor instruments (mini drums, tambourines) for no surcharges. I felt welcomed and special from the moment I entered the venue and I'm very happy we chose this place to host the greatest night of our lives. The staff was all great and I'm very appreciative of all of the assistants they helped my family, my wife's family, and our wedding party throughout the night. I will recommend Champagne Palace to all who ever ask me!

The Team at Champagne Palace is one in a million. They are absolutely fantastic. Katherine was there from day one all they way up to the end of the wedding. Their team has amazing communication and made sure my vision was brought to life. The gardens are stunning, a little oasis. The food amazing, staff wonderful, I can’t say enough good things about Champagne Palace.

We planned my daughter’s wedding and the entire planning process was incredibly easy especially planning from Georgia!! The Champagne Palace has every thing organized and prepared in order for you to make sure the day goes perfect. We took photos in the beautiful gardens which always is in pristine condition. Afterwards the bridal party was shown to a private dining area. The personal attendants that waited on us and the Bride & Groom were amazing. Our personal attendants were with us for the entire night making sure our drinks were always full. Throughout the planning process the Champagne Palace made sure everything was going smoothly and made sure our vendors were on the same page. Kris was an sweetheart and made sure everything kept going smoothly. He made the evening even more special by referring almost all the vendors to us especially the DJ who kept everyone dancing the entire time. The elegance of the room, with the beautiful chandeliers fit the look we were looking for. The customer service and hospitality is unmatched. We felt as though we were his only clients at the time because of the attention and detail he provided, when you know he does this week after week. I highly recommend the Champagne Palace to any couple looking for a reception venue and a wonderful experience. A few weeks later my daughter and son in law attended a friends wedding at the Champagne Palace and were treated like royalty. I even FaceTimed with Kris during the event to thank him again. Thank you..

The Champagne Palace was an amazing place to have our dream wedding. We picked the beautiful venue because of it's package and the garden. We worked with Kris & Katherine from day 1 and they were extremely helpful and professional. The customer service is the reason our wedding went perfectly. They recommended all of our vendors. They assisted us in coordinating with our vendors, and made sure they had all the information they would need to help us remain stress free. The venue had many of the same colors of our wedding so we didn't even have to have a lot of decorations since it was already so ornate! The food was out of this world. Every step of the planning and our actual wedding day went very smoothly and it was a pleasure to work with them. They treated our family and all of our guests like royalty. Thank you again for making our special day perfect.

P.S. If I could do it over again, I would have definitely done a rehearsal with the bridesmaids and the officiant and hired a DJ in the lobby of our hotel or somewhere like that. We had people coming from all over the country, so it was hard to coordinate. We used a Spotify playlist, which was great, but a DJ would have been a really nice touch. Also…. The food and drinks were delicious!!!

Champagne Palace is absolutely gorgeous. We were recommended by friends and the reputation was everything and then more. Kris was absolutely accommodating to my husband and I, the first time we met till our wedding day. The evening could not have been any better. Beautiful fall weather for the outdoor ceremony. Anything we asked for we received. Everyone of our guests had a blast and celebrated with us. The abundance of food was amazing along with all open bar that was included. We danced and danced. Thank you all so much for helping us plan our special day in such a short period of time. We will highly recommend!!

Absolutely beautiful wedding venue! Champagne Palace gave us an amazing wedding from start to finish and we could not be more grateful. Katherine was so helpful since day 1 of signing to contract all the way until the big day! Every question( and I sure had a lot) was answered and every small detail was handled with care and beauty! If you are considering Champagne Palace to be your wedding venue don’t waste another second on choosing them, you will not regret it! Everything was perfect! Also Makayla our wedding host was absolutely magnificent the entire wedding day, she never missed a beat with guiding us through night and my husband and I were never dying of thirst cause she always kept a drink in our hands!

The beauty and elegance along with the warmth of this venue sets it apart from all the others. The service and guidance they provided along the way and the day of your special event is outstanding. If you are looking for a 5 star venue. You have found it. The Champagne Palace is truly the best place to have your wedding. They were an absolute dream to work with. Our daughter got married at the venue years ago and we decided to hold our corporate party at the same location. From the first time we toured the Champagne Palace to our corporate party, Kris was extremely easy to work with and very communicative. He is a very kind soul and truly cares about every detail just as his father did. It meant a lot to us that it is family owned and made us feel as we were family. Every staff member that day including Mikaela who treated us like royalty and even the police detail the day of the party was top notch, especially the bartenders! We could not be more grateful for everything the staff at the Champagne Palace did to make our corporate party day eventful. The venue itself is exquisite and is kept in pristine condition. The staff at Champagne Palace make it the best of the best. Thank you thank you thank you!! The Lukinovich’s.

From the moment we first went to visit the Champagne Palace we knew it was very special. Kris and his team went above and beyond to ensure that we had the most perfect night. Our night was amazing and I know they put in the maximum effort to give us that perfect experience. Everything went so smoothly and everyone made us feel so special. The cuisine was delicious and our guests enjoyed themselves. I highly recommend this venue that comes along with everything included in the beautiful ballroom and the outdoor gardens. The customer service was top notch and professional! Thank you all again.

Beautiful wedding venue. From the garden area that anyone can fall in love with (makes you feel like you are in another world) the timeless interior from the floor to the extravagant chandeliers makes the elegant ballroom fit for any bride. The venue always smelled great and was very clean. The staff, Kris (Owner) was professional, sincere, helpful whenever I needed something and very personable. Katherine was helpful and customized the evening at our final appointment. Both Kris & Katherine worked hard to organize & help the wedding day that we waited for so long go smoothly, as if it was a fairytale. Other “stand-out” staff include Caroline (my girl!helpful on the day of with “all of the things”) From the time of the deposit to the wedding day, it felt like I became part of their family. Overall, we are very pleased and blessed to have had our wedding at the Champagne Palace. As I told Kris I hope he continues with his great customer-service and I truly wish him the very best in success for giving me and my soulmate an unforgettable evening. Thank you again for the staff for staying focused on our guests and keeping this beautiful venue up to date. The remarkable food makes it a true New Orleans feature. Again the dedication of the staff and ease of planning make this truly a wedding venue. Thank you!! Lisa & Kendrell

It was absolutely amazing and the venue was gorgeous. Kris and his staff went the extra mile and then some to make the day one to remember. I added some last minute vendors which I knew my daughter would appreciate and it was stress free from beginning to the end. The recommendations we received from Kris made it that much easier. Thank you and all your staff for a memorable and beautiful night. Thank you.

This vendor was beyond anything we could ask or imagine them to help us. Kris is what makes the Champagne Palace a top notch venue, the expertise he displayed was truly impressive. His team were so supportive and were a source of continuous guidance during the entire process. We knew we were in great hands. Their professional and fabulous staff assisted (Katherine even drove to the florist since I forgot some things, the bride didn’t know I forgot my only task, lol). They helped make all of our dreams and day come true. Everything was perfect and right on time. We were pleased with how they catered to our needs through the planning process. I didn't have to lift a finger all day. All I had to worry about was getting getting married. We really appreciated how easy they made everything. The Champagne Palace excelled at making our day so peaceful and memories to last. We LOVE this place! Thank you! Patrick & Delia

Amazing venue in every way! Kris was amazing, patient, kind and more importantly caring in guiding me and answering all the questions like a true professional, I had(especially during the pandemic). I couldn't have done it without his help and keeping me calm when I got nervous. I planned everything from Georgia. We are so grateful Kris was there on our wedding day to make sure it ran smoothly :) My guests raved about the food and the beautiful venue. It felt great to be around friends and family again! The service was impeccable and I couldn't be happier with everything this venue had to offer us. Thank you for making our wedding day everything and more just as you promised. Thank you Jessica!!
