City club river ranch was the best place we chose to have our dream wedding. All good things to say about this place & the people who work & run it. I would like to thank Mrs Ashely trahan for being the absolute best from the start of wedding planning to actual wedding day. Working with her was like working with a dream team but she’s only one person. She made sure everything was in order and top notch on wedding day I had no stress or worries because she took it for me so I could fully enjoy my special day with no worries but having fun! Thank y’all for a night we will never forget.

City Club was the most perfect place for our daughter and her husband’s wedding reception. The food and service were amazing. Ashley, the event coordinator, is so wonderful to work with. She makes everything so easy and alleviates a lot of the stress that comes along with planning a wedding. The ballroom is very lovely and the location is incredibly convenient. If I had to do it all over again- I would choose City Club every time!!!

Ashley and the whole staff at City Club were amazing from start to finish. The best part of the planning was how personalized and special they made us feel. Ashley was accessible, honest, and helpful in so many ways. The food, service, and atmosphere were perfect. The best part of it all was that this very special moment was as stress free for the family as could be. I wholeheartedly recommend them for any occasion.

Hands down City Club is the best venue to get the biggest bang for your buck. City Club offers so many perks to the bride and groom that no other place offers. Ashley, the event coordinator, has many years of event coordinating experience, is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. With her experience and familiarity with wedding vendors, we knew we could rely on her to make my daughter's wedding reception fabulous. Many of our guests commented this was the best reception food they ever had. Donovan was fantastic in taking the time to assist us in choosing our menu. The venue was beautiful and the staff professional. We could not have chosen a better venue for our celebration.

City Club and Ashley made my wedding absolutely phenomenal!!! From the food, to the bridal suite, to Ashley helping out with literally anything you can think of, they helped this experience and process so easy. I can not thank them enough for helping my vision come to life. We also got ready in the Carriage House Bridal Suite which was the perfect location and it was also beautiful inside. This made for the perfect pictures. Having Ashley along the way was life saving. I didn't hire a wedding planner, but she was there to help with any questions I had along the way. This was actually my families third wedding we had at City Club and it just got better each time! Thank you City Club and Ashley for making my wedding so perfect!

I cannot say enough good things about City Club as a venue and its coordinator Ashley Trahan. Ashley was very communicative throughout the entire process, and her calm demeanor makes what can be a hectic time very peaceful. At the end of the night, she and the team made sure my husband and I had leftovers from the reception inside our mini fridge at the Carriage House , along with the top layer of the cake. My family and I really didn’t have to do anything at the end of the night. Speaking of the food, everything was delicious. We received so many compliments, and most of the guests were from New Orleans. I also loved the ease of having the ceremony inside the courtyard of the Carriage House because there was no need for transportation. The guests just walked a few hundred feet to the reception. The night was simply magical!

The staff at City Club was absolutely phenomenal and made all of our wedding dreams come true! Ashley, the coordinator, was absolutely amazing with our other vendors and helping our vision come to life. All of our guests also raved about Chef Donovan’s food! The location was unbeatable and our 2nd line parade in the gazebo was an absolute hit. From start to finish everyone at City a club was a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!

What a lovely venue! As the matron of honor for my sister’s wedding, we wanted a smooth process for the bride and wedding party which is exactly what we received. Ashley was extremely responsive and kept us updated with all important details. The food was delicious and the service was attentive. I highly recommend this venue for any event!

If you're looking for a magical and first class wedding reception, then City Club at River Ranch is the place to be! My daughter's wedding reception was absolutely beautiful and in her words, "It was just perfect and we would not have changed anything". Ashley at City Club was very helpful with question that we had from beginning to end. She was prompt in returning our phone calls and always open to meet with us at anytime, even on Saturdays since my daughter and fiance lived in Houston. The band had plenty of space to set up their stage and the food was delicious! From Houston to home in Lafayette, everyone said that it was the most magical and beautiful wedding reception and so much FUN!!! Thank you to Ashley at City Club for helping to make my 1st daughter's wedding reception the BEST night of her life!

I highly recommend city club. The coordinator, Ashley, who handles just about everything, was truly a blessing to a type A bride. She made sure my experience stayed stress free and made my special day just absolutely perfect. She always responded to me promptly regarding anything with wedding. The food was incredible and something people still are talking about months later. The bartenders worked efficiently that kept the bar line short which allowed my guest to dance the night away! Truly recommend going to city club, you won’t regret it!

City Club was the best venue we could have ever chosen! They have a coordinator on site (Ashley) who handles pretty much everything! Which was a blessing for a bride like me who did not want to pick out every little detail like table cloths and chairs etc. They provided the food which was DELICIOUS, the bartenders, alcohol and they even helped pass out my late night snack Judice Inn burgers. They were soo accommodating with all of my requests and Ashley was able to recommend some vendors for me (I used her recommendations for the photo booth and wedding planner and loved both!!) They made my life and wedding planning so stress free. And they were so laid back. They recently renovated the ballroom during covid with new paint and beautiful chandeliers. We had around 350 guests in the ballroom and placed the food in the room across the lobby and everyone fit comfortably. We even got a free stay at the carriage house the night of the wedding which was so convenient because it is walking distance. Cant recommend City Club enough!!

I cannot praise City Club enough for making my wedding day absolutely perfect. Even before booking them, they made me feel like every thing was taken care of. Jennifer, Ashley and the entire staff made me feel so at ease, I never had to worry about anything. Despite the concerns of COVID and making the decision to postpone for a short while, they continued to support me and answer any questions I had.
THE WEDDING ITSELF: every guest that came said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. The food, service and location was just perfect. It was everything I dreamed of and more. I can’t think Jennifer and Ashley enough for going above and beyond to make it happen.

My daughter got married in Lafayette and we had the rehearsal dinner and reception at City Club. From the very beginning phases of planning a year ago, we were incredibly impressed. Jennifer was ALWAYS available for questions and concerns and always made sure we had answers. She NEVER hesitated with any requests and went above and beyond to help us make these events successful. I cannot truly describe how professional everyone was: from the cleaning staff, to the coordinator, to the servers, etc. Everyone was more than willing to help make things go as smoothly as they needed to go. The night of the actual event, Ashley also went above and beyond my expectations! She made sure that everything was taken care of and if there were any concerns, she took care of them! All of our other vendors (florist, photographer, videographers, DJ, etc.) also verbalized just how awesome their experience was as well!! AND THE FOOD... OH MY GOODNESS.. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I HIGHLY recommend City Club for your upcoming wedding/reception. We have absolutely no regrets... my only regret was that our night had to come to an end.

I don’t even know where to start. Our original wedding date was May 9, 2020. 35 days before our date, the country shut down due to covid. Jennifer at City Club was truly a God send for us. She was the most flexible, understanding, positive person and I’ll love her forever for sticking with us. We finally tied the not on February 6, 2021 and boy was it worth the wait. Ashley was amazing as our coordinator and Jennifer......I really just can’t put into words how much I appreciate and loved working with her!

Fantastic job by Jennifer, Ashley, and the City Club staff for our wedding on Oct 16, 2020. It was everything I wanted! We had an evening wedding outdoors in the gazebo and our reception was in the Evangeline Room. The atmosphere outside in the square at night was gorgeous—our wedding guests are still talking about it! The service and food (gumbo, potato salad, green salad, and desserts) were better than we even expected! City Club did their best to accommodate my vision for our special day and make all the little details perfect.
And if you are debating whether or not to rent the Bridal Suite... DO IT! It was one of my favorite parts of the wedding day, to hang out in such a beautiful place with my family and friends.

We had the most perfect and beautiful wedding in the 1100 Room at City Club at River Ranch. It was all I had hoped and more. The 1100 Room is small but intimate and romantic. Rodney did the most amazing job with flowers. We could smell the flowers when walking in for the wedding. Candle light and a Violinist made the room romantic. Only wish I could relive it.
Jennifer and Ashley were such a delight to work with. They made everything run smoothly and without stress. Photos by Robby came out great. City Club at River Ranch is the best place for a wedding in Lafayette. We live in Denver and had to rely on Jennifer and Ashley to bring this all together and they did a fantastic job.

Everything was perfect at City Club. We originally rented out the ballroom but then switched to the Bar and Grill so that we could have the outside patio, due to COVID-19 restrictions. The coordinator took care of everything! She found me and brought me drinks all night. She told us when it was time to walk, cut cake, take certain pics, etc. We even decided that night to do the money dance and she had pins ready! The food was delicious. Guests went back for multiple servings. I had the fried fish, shrimp, chicken, pasta, Carving meat table, meat pie, and seafood gumbo. It was all so good. The lights were dim and the venue felt magical. I would highly recommend for any bride for their special wedding day.

If there were a way to give more than five stars I would. Our June 18th Rehearsal Dinner at the 1100 Room at City Club Was the perfect event every Bride and Groom deserves to kick off their Wedding weekend. Planning the event with Jennifer was an enjoyable experience. She was there each step of the way to respond to any questions and concerns we had. She is truly a professional at what she does and will make this a memorable experience. On the night of the dinner Ashley and Trevor were there making sure every detail was carried out to perfection. Juan the bartender made everyone feel right at home with their drink request. The next night the reception was simply amazing Ashley, Trevor and Juan were repeating their efforts from the night before. The food and ambiance were flawless. If you are in the Lafayette area there is no better place than City Club River Ranch to have your wedding and the Carriage House is the perfect place to get ready and take photos for the big event.

The Venue, service and food were all first class.Our family & guest will be talking about this for many years to come. I would refer this venue over & over again.

We had our rehearsal dinner, and reception at City Club. The team was absolutely wonderful to work with! We told them what we wanted, and they made it happen. Anywhere from special sprinkles for desserts, to accomidating severe allergies they made it all happen. We had a ton of compliments on the food and overall service. They were so sweet and checked on my husband and I to make sure we had enough to eat and drink, and making sure the AC was okay. At the end of the night all of our belongings and food were brought up to our hotel room ready for us. I cannot recommend them enough! They were an absolute delight to work with!

Fabulous and Stress Free is the best way to describe my daughter's wedding at the City Club at River Ranch.
Before the ceremony we stayed in the Bridal Suite at the Carriage House. It was very spacious with a kitchen/dining area, 2 living areas and 2 bathrooms (one downstairs and one upstairs). We were all very comfortable preparing for the big event. Ashley Trahan (wedding coordinator) checked on us several times to make sure all our needs were met. The men enjoyed passing time in their own condo at the Carriage House which was very comfortable and had ample room to accommodate them.
Pictures were taken in the beautiful courtyard which was just a short walk from the Bridal Suite. The lush landscaping provided a picturesque backdrop for many photographs.
The Eleven Hundred Club provided an intimate setting for the wedding ceremony and accommodated our small gathering of wedding guests.
The Grill and Bar was beautifully decorated for the reception. All my daughter had to do was add a few personal touches of her own. There was plenty of room to dance and enjoy the music. The room also had access to a patio area outside which many guests used and enjoyed. Ashley was always available with a friendly smile to answer any questions or fulfill a request. Donovan Broussard (the chef) and his staff prepared some delicious food. Many guests commented on how good the food was.
The staff were professional and attentive to details and always available to assist us in anyway. All in all it was a wonderful experience and will hold many happy memories for those that attended.

The Grill & Bar has a beautiful patio that overlooks Town Square where guests can escape the music for a bit for a nice conversation. Food was PHENOMENAL!! Our guests are still talking about. The staff was so helpful and professional and definitely helped in making memories for a lifetime. City Club was the BEST decision for us.

City Club’s venue and staff far exceeded any and all expectations we had during my best friends wedding! Not only were the accommodations at the Carriage House extremely clean and convenient for getting ready during the day, the staff was consistently on top of details and making sure we were taken care of during the entire process. While the bride and groom took photos post ceremony, the bridal party was catered to during the wait, as well as during the reception. The venue was first class, and City’s Clubs preferred vendors went above and beyond decorating and catering to the event! By far one of the best and most delicious food selections I have experienced during a wedding! Thoroughly impressed and highly recommended :)

This place is absolutely AMAZING! The ballroom is newly painted with new carpet and it is a stunning venue for a reception! We planned to have our ceremony outside but at the last minute we changed our minds and the staff didn’t miss a beat! They changed our ceremony to inside and it was perfect because it ended up pouring down! The staff was there for us every step of the way and were beyond helpful. They made sure we always had whatever we needed throughout the planning process and especially the day/night of wedding. I couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our ceremony and reception. The food, drinks and staff are exceptional! 10/10 recommend city club at river ranch for a wedding!

My husband and I live in San Diego, CA so when we first started talking about having a wedding across the country in Lafayette, LA I was freaking out! After looking around for venues, we decided on City Club. Jennifer Foreman, the Director of Sales, graciously guided us through the planning process and made planning the wedding reception details a joy. Her prompt response time, professional attitude, and honest feedback was great! We did eventually hire a wedding planner to assist with the day-of wedding timeline, but Jennifer helped me make many decisions along the way. We got great feedback from our guests on the food that was provided as well. It is a bit pricier than other places in Lafayette, but you are paying for so much more than a room to have your reception. There are so many things you cannot plan when you are preparing for a wedding so my advice is to invest in reliable vendors who you know will do whatever they can to make you happy.

City Club was the best wedding decision we made, hands down! Two months before our wedding, we ended up needing a last minute change of reception venue. I was in panick mode, contacting every venue I could find. Jennifer with City Club called me within an hour and we were able to go see and book the 1100 Room the next day! I wish we had gone with City Club from the beginning. We had a small wedding, and the 1100 Room was so beautiful, affordable, and our guests are still raving about the food! Every City Club staff member we met was so kind, helpful, and professional. I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience we had, and how grateful we are to be able to look back on our beautiful wedding reception. We will always treasure the memories we made that night and remain grateful to City Club for making it happen!

My daughter's wedding ceremony, reception, and rehearsal dinner were all held at City Club (9/22/18). Since we weren't members of City Club, I wasn't sure how we would be received when we visited the venue. From our very first meeting with Jennifer Foreman, it was obvious that we were right where we needed to be! We felt so comfortable AND welcomed. She listened to what we had in mind and offered many great suggestions and options. I was thrilled that I didn't have to worry about renting tables, chairs, linens, etcetera since that was all included. We wanted to keep things convenient for everyone (especially for the groom's family, who were from out of town) and also stay within our budget. It was basically like having 4 venues in one, all within steps of each other! And each one has its own distinct ambiance and look, so you didn't feel like you were "repeating". We used the spacious bridal suite at the Carriage House for the girls to spend the day getting ready together, and several of us booked rooms there for the weekend so we didn't have to worry about driving anywhere. In the long run, it was money well spent. The rehearsal dinner was held in the elegant 1100 Room. The room is beautiful enough, and we just added a few pictures, flowers and candles to personalize it. The food and the service were fabulous. Better than many restaurants I've been to. Although our plans were to have the wedding ceremony outdoors under the gazebo, Mother Nature suggested otherwise. So we moved the ceremony indoors to the Evangeline Ballroom. It wasn't what we had initially envisioned, but it turned out to be beautiful and actually much more intimate. Ashley and Jennifer made the transition seem so smooth, and handled everything. Our reception followed in the Fleur de Lis Ballroom. In addition to the more traditional wedding food, we also added one of the groom's favorites...a pizza bar. And instead of a groom's cake, he wanted a donut wall. The glass donut wall (rented from City Club) filled with Meche's donuts was classy yet fun. Our guests repeatedly expressed how beautiful the venue was, how good the food was, and how much they enjoyed themselves. The bride and groom were able to have a few moments to dine privately before making their grand entrance into the ballroom. And it was one heck of a party! We didn't run out of food or drink (every MOB's concern, especially here in Cajun country!) and there were servers to clean up any mess. All too quickly it seemed that it was time to send the couple off to begin their life as Mr. & Mrs. And as they headed off to the honeymoon suite (which was also included) I'll never forget the hug from my son-in-law and daughter as she whispered in my ear, "Thanks so much, Mom. This really was THE best day ever." Thank you Jennifer, Ashley, and the entire staff of City Club for making it as stress free as possible, so that I could enjoy it too. Five stars just don't seem enough!

Where can I even begin? From our first meeting with Jennifer, we felt incredibly confident this was the venue for us. We held our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception at City Club and had several guests that stayed at the Carriage House.
Although the venue was stunning we didn’t choose City Club because of the building - we chose it because of the people who work in it. That goes for every single person that had a hand in both days. I may not remember every second of that day, but I will never forget how special I felt because of the staff. Jennifer and Ashley answered question after question throughout the process and genuinely made me feel like I was the only bride they were working with - their attention to detail was incredible. We wanted a pizza bar and a donut wall - they made it happen.
With rain threatening our ceremony, the staff worked with all of our vendors to come up with plan A, B and C. Without hesitation, we knew they would make the best possible decision. The weather didn’t hold, and the City Club staff made our plan B the most beautiful ceremony space in about half an hour - our day was perfectly imperfect and was beyond anything we could have imagined. The value of having the knowledgeable staff was worth every cent, so if you are in the market for a venue for any event we can not recommend them enough.

Complete professionals! We prepared our out of state wedding in Lafayette from Scottsdale, Arizona and we were impressed by how well Jennifer stayed in touch with us regarding the menu items and venue coordination. It was an offsite reception and she was very accommodating and organized and even had Ashley, a sales coordinator, there to help out during the wedding reception and we can't say enough about her as well, she went above and beyond, which included helping to bustle my dress!
My now sister-in-law had her reception at City Club at River Ranch a year before our wedding and we raved about their food which is why we chose them as our vendor. Seriously, it was that good! Our guests said the same thing to us after the wedding. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for incredible food and service.

My wedding reception was everything I dreamed of and more! I am so happy I decided on City Club and Jennifer and Ashely made the entire reception planning process so easy and fun. Jennifer was extremely helpful and always responded to my emails promptly. Ashley made sure everything flowed smoothly the night of our reception and I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. All of our wedding guests raved about how wonderful all the food was and how beautiful the venue was. I may be a little biased, but I couldn't agree more! I can not say enough good things about City Club and would recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect reception venue. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with amazing food, great service, and an amazing wedding day coordinator... look no further! You will not be disappointed!

We had our rehearsal dinner off site in Morgan City and were so pleased that we chose City Club. All of our entrees were delicious, and the servers were very professional. To make our table just a little more special, they made fleurs-de-lis out of our linen napkins! They were placed with the menu which was personalized at each guest 's seat.Jennifer worked with us and printed our menus on gold card stock which was part of our color scheme. They looked beautiful! Jennifer was always available and prompt in returning emails and calls. We also had a bar set up which worked wonderful. If you need an off site caterer , I highly recommend City Club!

I had my wedding reception in the Fleur de Lis Ballroom and it was absolutely PERFECT! From the beginning of the journey to the end, Jennifer & Ashley made it so fun and enjoyable! It was so organized and stress-free. They thought of things we wouldn't have thought of! It's amazing to see everything you've been planning, come together all on one night. We received so many compliments after about how fun and beautiful the wedding was. The food was also a big hit! My husband and I loved how we got to have a private dinner during the reception. It was a great way to sit down and soak in the moment. I could go on and on about the night! All in all, it was the most perfect wedding day and if you book with city club I know you will not regret it.

From the very first meeting my daughter and I had with Jennifer to tour the venue over a year ago my daughter knew immediately City Club was where she wanted their wedding reception to be. Jennifer was beyond amazing throughout the whole process of planning the wedding reception. It was above and beyond what I would have ever expected!! Wedding week came and she was so comforting to me and my daughter. She went above and beyond reaching out to us during that week and so many times before. We truly feel like we gained a friend through this whole process. We booked the bridal suite also for that day which was absolutely amazing and highly recommend! Walking into the reception that night and seeing the whole year of planning come together was so touching, it was everything we hoped it to be and more! Ashley was beyond amazing that night taking care of everything. We did not want for anything!! I cannot recommend this venue enough! I have no doubt even though our wedding is over this will not be the last time we deal with City Club and Jennifer and Ashley:)

I dreamed of my wedding day since I was a little girl. First of all, to find the price charming, which I definitely exceeded in. Then to find the dress, which was a dream in itself. But finally, I dreamed of the place where we would dance our first dance, toast our champagne, eat the first bite of cake, and make memories that would last a lifetime. From the moment I talked to Jennifer, who handles all of the events at City Club, I felt an instant connection. She was kind, bubbly, genuine, and so informative! And then, I had the chance to walk into the ballroom and my dream came to life! The Fleur De Lis Ballroom is an extraordinary room with elegant chandeliers, the perfect size dance floor, and classy gray and white decor. It really is the perfect room for any occasion, especially receptions! And not to mention the food and open bar were exceptional and very well received! I kept getting compliments that the food was incredible and not your normal/average wedding food. Also, the service that City Club offers is outstanding! There were never dirty dishes left on the tables, and the staff was readily available to help with anything you needed. I just can't say enough about how perfect this venue was and always will be! Thank you Jennifer Foreman, and staff for making my dream come true! December 15, 2017 will always be a day to remember! - Michele Domingue

My daughter was recently married (Friday Dec 15) with the reception at the City Club. We have been working with Jennifer Foreman for the past year, with each and every visit very organized and most importantly, with a true caring from the heart. She made us feel so special and was so patient with all our questions. As a first time MOB, I had to be more in tune with details. Her suggestions and information were wonderful from the initial venue offerings to the final tastings. The food was fantastic, the open bar was very well received, everyone was happy! She even came by our table late into the night to offer me anything....even a glass of water! I would highly recommend this lovely lady and her staff for any upcoming venues! Thank you again, Jennifer, for making this day so special. I wish we could do it all over again!

We celebrated our wedding reception at City Club! It was a super easy decision when choosing our reception venue. Jennifer and Ashley were INCREDIBLE every step of the way. So easy to work with. The food is delicious and they pretty much took care of everything! We were so impressed and I will always recommend City Club. In fact, my cousin will be celebrating her wedding reception there next year! You’ll fall in love after your first meeting!

The attention to detail by the ladies at City Club is out of this world! They make the process effortless and fun! They also take so much of the guesswork out of all the little things you would not think of! My special day would not have been the same without them!!
