Magnolia Weddings and Events

Magnolia was the perfect venue! Not only was it beautiful, but the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly! There were a few things that went wrong behind the scenes, and they took charge and didn’t even give me any hints that something was wrong. The food was fantastic as well!

I am so happy I chose an all inclusive wedding venue! I did not have to worry about a thing. Everything and Everyone from beginning to end was Spectacular!

We got married here on January 28, 2022. The venue was beautiful and perfect. You truly get so much for the price!! The only thing I think they need to redo is those ugly gold curtains. The venue is completely updated besides those things. The staff was super helpful and everything went smoothly. My only complaint is, I spoke with the venue the night before and explained I wanted to use their toasting glasses for a bridal party toast at the cake table, the glasses were not set up and we ended up not doing it because no one reminded me to do it and the glasses were not out. Other than that, It was a really great night.

This venue is absolutely gorgeous (updated in summer 2020). Collette and Sue were fabulous to work with. They are definitely a full service venue. I live in Georgia and they were able to arrange a gorgeous ceremony and reception with a dj . During this pandemic, they were very reassuring and pulled off a flawless event. If you're looking for a all-inclusive, hassle free venue I would definitely recommend Magnolia events and weddings.

Let me start off by saying how beautiful this place is! The staff were friendly and easy to work it. The food here is AMAZING! My guest were amazed by all the food they received. All the staff here made sure my day was stress free and handled all my needs. I didn’t have to worry about anything and my wedding went smoothly.

I definitely recommend magnolia plantations! We had special request they filled without problem, they walked us through every question we might have, and everything went off without a hitch. Our day wouldn’t have been as special without the team at magnolia plantation. We also used their dj service and it was very easy to use.

I been picked Magnolia for my ceremony and reception. I liked that one side is set up for the ceremony and other is reception. This definitely worked for me. They are very easy to work with. I suggest this venue to anyone wanting a nice wedding without breaking the bank too much. Their prices are very reasonable and it includes all the services you need.

Let me tell you how awesome Sue is at Magnolia Plantation. She is a pro at weddings and she is there to assist you the entire step of the way. Colette is also a pleasure to work with. She was very understanding with me about payments and I really appreciate the hospitality of the entire staff throughout the whole process. The night of the wedding it rained and Sue gave me an extra 15 minutes, because we were a little late arriving. The food was good. The set up, the lighting and the hall is beautiful. It’s just right for weddings. you don’t have to do much to it. They also provide you with a long list of vendors you can use and you can use their DJ in your package. All of this was very helpful to me. I highly recommend them for the bride who wants the fairytale wedding, but your working on a Cinderella Budget! Thanks Collette and Sue!!

Our night was PERFECT! This venue went above and beyond to meet our needs and we are so thankful!

Everything was perfect! Especially the night of the wedding! We were treated like royalty and the staff took such good care of my husband, my family, and myself the whole night. They truly went above and beyond for us!

From the day we met with Sue and her team she understood our wedding day vision and maintained that focus for the year of planning our special day. There was an instant connection with Sue and Colette in our initial meeting and our personalities meshed very well. We walked away from that meeting feeling confident that we would be well taken care of. Our instincts proved right and we couldn’t have asked for a better Wedding venue! Whether you are having a big wedding or a small private wedding magnolia plantation will not disappoint you. Friends and family were amazed at how calm we seemed (outwardly!) in the planning of our wedding. Sue and her team made it easy. If you’ve envisioned your wedding day down to the smallest detail, Magnolia plantation will help you make that happen. And if you have a limited view of your wedding day, they will help you develop your vision. They can work with you trust me. We had an african wedding and needed specific details that other venues didn't want to do, but magnolia plantation took us on. They worked with us and gave us the traditional african wedding we have always dreamed of. They were readily available to answer any questions or concerns we had and we never waited more than a day to respond (especially important for the nervous bride!). Sue coordinated, and was present on the day of our wedding and assisted us in making sure everything was in order. Our Wedding day team, Denise the Dj and all the servers that worked alongside Sue were fantastic. They were extremely attentive, made sure our wedding party was well taken care of and kept them and guests on time and happy. This allowed my groom and I to relax (as much as one could on their wedding day!) and enjoy without worry. We knew that we had chosen the right Wedding venue when we first met Sue, but our guests confirmed it by saying how good Magnolia Plantation was and how they managed our wedding day so seamlessly! EVERYONE HAD SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THE FOOD...SO GOOD! THANK Y'all for making our day special. Ana and Steffen Married December 16, 2017

Thank you Magnolia Plantation, you all were the best to us, our family, and our friends. You made our wedding the most memorable night ever. People can not stop talking about how much fun they had, and how beautiful the place was decorated.

Beautiful!!!!

Can't say enough good things about this hidden gem. The coordinators and staff were so pleasant to work with. The evening of our reception was AMAZING. I had all the confidence in the world that my day would be spectacular and it was. My parents are still receiving rave reviews on the food, music, and beautiful room. I highly recommend! Thank you to all who helped make our day so special.

Wonderful event space for my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary. Delicious food, beautiful decor, and friendly staff. The night vcould not have been more perfect!! Thank you for everything. Amy & Brian Lacey

Dwayne and I truly loved our day on Oct. 21, 2017. Mrs. Sue and Mrs. Colette you guys along with staff. Ms. D and Ms. Donna really took care of us and our parents. The room was beautiful. The food and service was continuous. My guest are still talking about everything. You ladies were very accommodating and helpful. I was so worried about not enough time and forgetting stuff. I thank you for making our day special and memorable. Ms. D made sure I stayed on track and enjoyed myself at the same time. We passed the other day and Dwayne said he wanted to do it again. Thanks Mrs. Sue

Magnolia Plantation was truly a beautiful venue. The staff was amazing and the attendants for myself, my husband, and our parents were always there to help us when needed. The food and drinks were delicious and the decor was perfect. The DJ was great, played everything we requested and made the music process so easy. Thanks to everyone there who helped us have the wedding of our dreams!

Magnolia Plantation is by far the best reception venue in the New Orleans area. I had my wedding a week ago and the staff was amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process. Sue, Colette, and the entire staff were absolutely phenomenal. I didn't have to worry about a single thing the night of the wedding, and even before that. Colette made sure everything I needed was taken care of before the wedding and she was very reassuring to make sure we had everything done and that everything was there and ready to go. I never had an empty glass, the staff was so great providing both my husband and I, as well as our parents, with drinks and food whenever we needed something. I could go on and on about how amazing this place is and how wonderful the staff is, but I don't think I will have enough space to write in here. My family has used Magnolia Plantation before for previous weddings, and I'm sure we will continue to work with them for years to come. Thank you to everyone at Magnolia Plantation, you made our dream wedding come true.

I recently used Magnolia Plantation for both my ceremony and my reception. From the very beginning, both Collette and Sue were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and just plain "down-to-earth." However, I don't think I understood the FULL extent of their attention to customer care until my wedding day. Sue and the other cast of hostesses, bartenders, and waiters waited "hand and foot" on me and my guests all evening long. As soon as the bridal party stepped out of the limousine, they greeted us and made sure that we were all calm, cool, and collected. While we waited for the ceremony to begin, they brought in champagne and any other drinks we requested. They made sure that EVERYONE was in the right place at the right moment. (When they tell you that you really don't need a rehearsal, trust them!) When the flower girl started to cry, they calmly took her by the hand and helped her regain her composure--without missing a beat. They made sure that all the guests (especially the parents of the bride and groom) had all the food and drinks they could bear to consume. At the end of the evening, they even packed TO GO bags of food for us AND for each of our parents! [Who does that?!!!] I can't tell you how grateful my husband and I were when we got back to our hotel and found ourselves FAMISHED after 3 solid hours of PARTYING. I am extremely grateful to Magnolia Plantation for making my dream wedding come true, but the REAL TEST came when my husband gave his assessment of the evening. To this day, he continues to say that we had "The Wedding of the Century" (and as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Marine Corps, his standards and penchant for detail are a little higher than that of the average civilian). If you are looking for an elegant venue at a very reasonable price, look no further. NOWHERE else will you find a comparably priced package that INCLUDES the cost of: unlimited alcoholic beverages served by professional bartenders; an unlimited buffet of Cajun-Creole food and hors d'oeuvres CONTINUOUSLY served by an attentive wait staff; table linens, chair ties, crystal table decor, floral arrangements, china, flatware, cake stand, cake knives, toasting flutes; a Day-Of Coordinator that TREATS YOU LIKE FAMILY; AND a professional DJ who KNOWS how to keep the party jumping!!!

Highly recommend to all brides! Sue, Collette, and staff all make the planning and wedding day easy breezy! Not much planning necessary when it came to the venue. They handle the food, drinks, decor, you just show up! The staff treated our parents like royalty during the reception-which they loved of course! And they kept the food and drinks coming! People are still talking about how amazing our wedding was! There was not one song where the dance floor wasn't full! DJ did an amazing job! I am so happy with our choice and I would recommend to anyone looking for less stress because these ladies keep you calm and handle everything!

The owners and staff are such a pleasure to work with. They made everything so easy for me! My reception was perfect thanks to them!

The Staff at Magnolia Plantation are exceptional. They were there with me all the way. Their professionalism and expertise was truly amazing. Thank you!!

My wedding was January 6, 2017!!! Ms. Sue & the staff at Magnolia Plantation was exceptional from beginning to end. Thank you for all of your hard work and for answering all of my million questions, phone calls, and emails. The venue is absolutely perfect. Ashley & Taeyo Suarez

The staff at Magnolia Plantation were just exceptional. In planning the event, Sue and Collette truly thought of everything, and even at the rehearsal, when I changed my mind about a few details, they were able to make the changes, no questions asked. On our wedding day, our personal attendant Dee made sure that both my husband and myself had everything that we needed, including something to eat. She made sure our glasses were always full, and made sure to check in frequently with all of our parents and their spouses. Dee made sure that all of our accessories (champagne flutes, cake cutter, etc) were cleaned and given to my mother at the end of the night, and our photo books, my bridal portrait, and our guest sign, all were packaged and in beautiful condition when we got them home. The food, drinks, and all of the well-trained wait staff left nothing to be desired. I did not even need a wedding planner because the staff at Magnolia Plantation was so on the ball. I highly recommend this venue for their exceptional quality of service.

Great place to have a reception! Dance floor huge and great DJ provided !!

I can't say enough about this beautiful venue and their wonderful staff. Everything was amazing, they calmed me down and kept me on track the entire night. After searching and searching for a venue we found Magnolia Plantation to be the most affordable with everything you need in on place. I had my reception and ceremony there and I wish I can do it all over again exactly the same way. Call Magnolia Plantation now, I promise you won't regret it, they go above and beyond to ensure you have a magical night!

Wedding: Friday July 8th,2016 : Richelle & Justin Byrd Pre booking: If we could give more stars we would! We spent over a year planning our wedding and choosing the venue was the easiest part. We contacted Magnolia plantation and immediately received an email with the prices and what the venue had to offer. They have a package that caters to every brides needs. The venue offered alcohol, DJ, food , table settings ect. We knew this was the venue we wanted to get married at. In the mist of booking the venue, we had a family tragedy. The venue knew we were wanting to book with them and kindly held our spot for a couple weeks. I knew that the wedding must go on and I gathered our parents to visit the venue. My cousin got married at Magnolia Plantation a couple years prior and she kept telling me that Ms. Sue was awesome to work with. When I met Ms. Sue, I felt like she was family, and that I could trust her with making our wedding day special . That same day we signed the contract with Magnolia Plantation and had zero regrets. Post Booking: Throughout the year Magnolia Plantation staff has kept in touch with me via email regarding venue updates. I was allowed to pop up at the venue if I was in the neighborhood at the time, I was also able to call the venue at any time of the day and was confident that Ms. Sue or Ms. Collete answer the phone and if I was to get a voicemail, they would call me back immediately. They truly make sure all the brides needs are met. Rehearsal: Thursday July 7th,2016. We had a bridal party that consisted of 11 bridemaids, 14 groomsmen and 5 children. So trying to get everyone to line up correctly was hectic until Ms. Sue took charge helped me plan the perfect setup for the bridal party. She was very patient with us and allowed us to stay until everything was perfect. I was able to drop off all the wedding decorations and wedding favors that day. The staff sets up everything the day of the wedding, which took stress off of me. Wedding Day: The groomsmen arrived to the venue an hour a head of time and the staff allowed them to stay inside and wait. I told the guys not to be late and I guess they figured showing up early would be safer than being stuck in traffic. As I arrived on a bus, Magnolia Plantation staff stopped all guest from entering to allow the girls and I sneak into the bridal room. I loved this because we didn't want anyone seeing me in my dress. We were treated like royalty as we waited in the bridal room. Throughout the reception my husband kept saying he felt like a king. He was truly excited that Ms. Sue and her lovely staff catered to him all night. His champagne glass was never empty and that kept a smile on his face. Once we finished dancing we were amazed to see everything was cleaned up, that shows us that the staff members were on top of things. All of the leftovers; food, cake, and decorations were already packed up and was brought out to the car for us. The staff members deserve to be recognized for being so professional. We are truly grateful! Yes we recommend everyone to book their weddings with Magnolia Plantation , we promise you won't be disappointed! Call Mrs. Sue NOWWWWW!

XOXOXO

My review is really late, but definitely worth writing. My wedding was on 5/2/16, and all I can say is that I had absolutely no care in the world...as the bride!!! Sue made sure everything was as it should and exactly as we discussed. I had nothing but compliments from our wedding guests!!! From the first meeting to our wedding date it was a smooth process. Sue is the absolute best, and the food is superb!!! This place is a definite for your wedding or next event!

I could not have wanted a better venue for our wedding. All of the staff were wonderful from the time we booked our wedding to our departure at the end of our reception. The planning process was so simple with them and the evening of was perfect. They were all very attentive to our wants and needs. I highly recommend them!

My wedding was on 1/15/16 at Magnolia Plantation. I am so thrilled that i chose magnolia plantation. They made my big day everything i could have dreamed of. Great food, beautiful location, and amazing staff. The night of my wedding i didn't have to worry about a thing, they took care of it all! Months later my friends and family are still taking about how wonderful everything was at magnolia plantation.

The experience my husband and I had at Magnolia Plantation was phenomenal. From the first time we stepped foot in the doors, the hospitality from Colette and Sue was outstanding. They took such great care of us until the day of the wedding! I will definitely recommend friends and family to this venue! It is affordable, the food and drinks are great and the hospitality is even better! Thank you all for taking such great care of Carl and I and our families! Everyone had such a great time and we truly are greatful! Be blessed!!!

I am just blown away by Magnolia Plantation! From start to finish, they were so easy to work with and amazing. Ms. Sue and Colette are always easy to get in touch with and were so helpful and accommodating. I have a very type A/control freak personality and from the very beginning I completely trusted that everything would go perfectly for our big day, and it did!!!!!! The food was amazing. The staff was so great and my drink was always full. Every guest I spoke with talked about how beautiful everything turned out. I also spoke with the groom's parents and they were blown away with how easy this was for us compared to what they went through with their daughter's wedding (which cost a good bit more than Magnolia and included less). Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me such an amazing wedding ceremony and reception! I will sing Magnolia's praises to any and ever bride I know!!!!!!! You guys deserve more than 5 stars!!!

I just got married at Magnolia Plantation this past Saturday and it was the best day ever! Sue and Collette were amazing from start to finish! My friends and family loved the food and venue. The host were very accommodating to everyone who attended. If you're looking for a good place to get married I would recommend this place hands down. It's affordable, parking is awesome, venue is already decorated, food is amazing, DJ is included you really just have to show up. The staff is professional and experienced in weddings and they will take great care of you! Thanks again Magnolia for making my day special!

Everyone was awesome and supportive!! Would def recommend!! They had everything taken care of and made sure I was good throughout the ceremony and reception. They pulled me aside to be sure I got some food in my system, which is important because it is so easy to forget because your being pulled by family in EVERY direction!! Love them!!

On March 12, 2016, I married my best friend and love of my life at Magnolia Plantation. I feel in love with the venue at first sight and everything turned out beautiful on our big day. The food, staff, and atmosphere made our day much more special. Most of our family and friends travelled from various states and felt welcomed by the venue and staff. We are completely satisfied with the serviced received, elegant and beautiful venue. Ulisa M.

My wedding was August 22, 2015. This venue was beautiful, you must see it in person in order to really appreciate it. They literally provide everything, you just have to show up. Compared to other venues in the Nola area they are very affordable and provide so much more. The staff waited on us and our parents hand a foot with a smile. It's been 4 months since my wedding and our families are still talking about how beautiful it was!!! I only brought my cake and a gift card box and that's it, everything else was taken care of. Sue is the ABSOLUTE best, she worked with me even when I had to pay for the extra guest who decided to show up on the day of the wedding. She kept me calm and focused on what was important which was our big day. If you're looking for a wedding reception venue this is the place to have it!! It's affordable compared to other places in Nola, the staff is super friendly and helpful, and the building is very elegant and beautifully decorated.

My dream wedding came true! Magnolia Plantion was amazing!!! The staff were awesome and accommodated mine and my guests every need. The food was amazing. I did not have one thing go wrong on my special day. The set up was beautiful and we couldn't beat the cost. Thank you Magnolia Plantation for making my wedding day so special.

WOW! The Venue is beautiful, the staff and service are so friendly and are always on their toes and the food was AMAZING! Colette and Sue helped me to think through the day and plan every aspect that I otherwise would have forgotten or been stressed about on the big day. Can't thank Magnolia Plantation enough for making our special day a dream we won't forget!

I had the best experience ever at Magnolia Plantation. Colette and Sue are the best. No matter how many times I called with questions during my planning they were always happy to help. They accommodated myself and my husband with requests we had and our day was perfect in every way. We had special decor and they set everything up exactly the way we wanted. The space was absolutely beautiful. The day of our reception went off without a hitch and our guests are still talking about the food. It was never ending lol. Ms Dee was my attendant and she is the sweetest lady ever. I will never forget the entire staff at Magnolia Plantation. They are simply the best.

I got married at Magnolia Plantation this past Saturday. It was wonderful!! My big day was much more than I could've ever imagined thanks to the staff. Sue and Dee are awesome, so accommodating and professional!! I can't remember the name of the attendant for the parents, but my mother in law can't say enough good things about her. I've been receiving calls all week about how beautiful our wedding was. The food kept coming and it was delicious!! Overall A++ experience!!

We just got married last month at Magnolia and everything was absolutely perfect! Everyone loved the food and couldn't believe how much of it was available! I was referred by my Matron who also got married at Magnolia and am so glad I asked them to be a part of my special day! Thank you Sue and Colette!

I would highly recommend Magnolia Plantation! I held my wedding reception here and we reserved the entire grand ballroom. It was gorgeous and plenty of room for my 200 guests. Mrs. Sue and her staff are phenomenal and made my dream come true! Dee, the attendant for myself and my groom, was always there to refill our drinks, help me change my shoes, and guide me where I needed to be during the event. All of my guest raved about the food, drinks, and music. The DJ, Brian, was amazing and the dance floor was never empty, even the bartenders were dancing behind the bars!! You will not be disappointed with this choice! I'm still receiving compliments 2 weeks later!

If you want a reception with zero problems, magnolia is the place to go. Ms. Sue was beyond helpful and did ANYTHING to make my special day perfect. The attendants are wonderful, and the food doesn't stop flowing. They made room for my photo booth and my painter. They even held onto my painting until the rain stopped long enough for me to get it out of there. I have reccomended Magnolia Plantation to many people already. Brides, this is the place to go!!!

I recently got married at Magnolia Plantation and our reception exceeded our expectations! I always wanted a venue that was one huge room and dance floor so our guests wouldn't miss anything and Magnolia has that! From the initial appointment, to the night of Ms. Sue & Collette are a pleasure to work with. They make you feel so comfortable with everything where I didn't have one stress about my reception. There is no need for a wedding coordinator or planner with Magnolia! They do it all for you, you just show up for a good time! All our guest still keep telling me how great the venue looked and how good the food was. I was told that all the pass around foods didn't stop and there was plently of seating of over 260 people! I highly recommend!

Magnolia Plantation was absolutely wonderful. We had our ceremony and reception there and everything ran so smoothly that we had nothing to worry about. The venue is absolutely beautiful and the food was delicious. Sue and Dee were a wonderful help and always there when we needed them. This was a perfect place for our wedding and well worth what we paid. We definitely recommend Magnolia Plantation.

magnolia plantation was absolutely perfect i knew from the day i toured the venue that it was perfect. The staff was amazing and really nice unlike other places they actually care about your wedding and make sure you have a great time. The food was great i made sure i tried everything and i did not have one complaint. They made sure me and my husband had drinks all night and were great to our guest. I recommend this place to every one who is planning a wedding you won't be disappointed. Everything was beautiful and i loved the centerpieces. The price was great and nothing was left out! Thank you Magnolia for making sure our wedding was perfect! (Angel & Devon)

I had a wonderful experience with both the managers and staff at my reception. They were so helpful and very organized. They made the planning very easy. The room was stunning. Very spacious with lots of seating and plenty of food. My parents got many compliments and so did Josh and I. We would recommend this venue 100%. Thanks to all.

Magnolia Plantation was great. From beginning to end they provided assistance whenever and however I needed it. They were very understanding and easy to work with. The night of the wedding they ensured I received the wedding of my dreams! They provided great tasting food, amazing service, and wonderful staff. The staff made us feel like family. My wedding ceremony and reception was a magical night I will never forget!!

Their service was Incredible! From when we chose Magnolia Plantation to the night of my wedding, they treated me like family. I had a night that I will never forget. Full of great memories and great times. They were on spot with everything from food, music, capacity, and excellent service. I wouldn't of had it any other way. I can't keep thanking them for my night.

Everything was perfect thanks to Magnolia Plantation :-)

I can only say that our expectations were met ABOVE AND BEYOND! The day was amazing as was the entire process leading up to the day. My parents and I are still getting compliments months later. I highly recommend this venue for their outstanding service, PLENTY of delicious food, and stunning room decor. It really was a dream come true.

Excellent

I can't say enough about the awesome experience that we had at Magnolia Plantation for my daughter's wedding reception. We are still receiving compliments on the venue, the food, the music and the overall atmosphere. The dance floor is huge, and there was more than enough seating for our 300+ guests. Everyone raved about the food, and it was plentiful! Several in attendance said they had never been to a reception where the guests had so much fun and danced from the beginning until the end. We received many compliments saying that my daughter's reception was the best one they had ever been to. As far as pricing goes, Magnolia Plantation is a bargain compared to other major venues in the New Orleans area, and there are no "hidden" costs. Sue and Colette were a pleasure to work with. Their attention to detail is exceptional, and they took care of absolutely everything! We had no worries from the beginning of the planning process until the end of the reception. Thanks to everyone at Magnolia Plantation for making my daughter's reception so memorable!

A big thank you to the wonderful staff and management at Magnolia Plantation. Our January wedding was absolutely perfect. The room was stunning and we could not have asked for better service. We were truly amazed at how our "winter wonderland wedding" was able to come together and exceed our expectations. Happy to recommend your venue. We cannot thank you enough.

The building holds 250 guest we paid for 200 guest and only received half of the hall the guest complained about seating and tables. and the food line was long as well. The food wasn't great.
