Honestly, don’t even know where to begin with this place. Thank you times 1000 for making our wedding the best day ever . We had so many friends and family tell us that we “set the bar for weddings” and that ours was the “best wedding they had ...ever been to” and we truly believe that thanks to you all.
While driving from Florida to Texas in January 2017, my then fiancé and I stopped into New Orleans and unexpectedly stumbled into The Champagne Palace while searching around The Knot for potential wedding venues. It was the first and only place we visited. We were in town for only one day, Kris told us to come in and we signed the agreement an hour later - we were that wowed by everything they had to offer. Any questions we had over that year, any concerns, requests, they handled and addressed every single time.
Me and my wife are both military so the fact that the venue handled the majority of everything was an immediate plus for us especially given that we lived in Texas. The 2nd thing that grabbed us was being able to pay in installments monthly so that our wedding was paid off in full before the big day even happened.
The venue was absolutely amazing both inside and out. Any decorations, personal and special requests, music selections, picture placements, instructions on how the bridal party would come down the aisle since we had an odd number to where they would stand on the stairs during our reception introduction were all handled exceptionally. And no worries at all on doing a dry run or rehearsal because there is literally staff and ushers EVERYWHERE on hand to point all parties in the right direction in a timely and smooth manner
The professionalism, helpfulness, flexibility, and genuine consideration of Kris and his team were above and beyond our expectations. Kat, the wedding coordinator, was absolutely amazing and knew exactly what she was doing. Jude, our personal assistant was professional in every way and at all times, continually keeping us up to date on where we needed to be, what was next, and if we needed a drink lol. The DJ kept the party going and no one ever left the dance floor and even the two staff members who took care of our dogs prior to the ceremony (because they were also in the wedding) were great.
We seriously cannot say enough about The Champagne Palace and even if we could words wouldn’t do it any justice. If anything at all went wrong during the wedding we didn’t even see it or notice it. Everything went just that seamless. My only regret is that we didn’t have more time. The day went by so fast and we honestly did not want the reception to end.
Again, thank you for making it the best day ever . Our guests are still talking about it to this day. It could not have been any more perfect.
If you’re getting married in New Orleans, seriously, look no further than The Champagne Palace. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
