Pat O'Brien's

oom to eat, mingle, and dance. The food was AMAZING...guests are still RAVING about the alligator bites, gumbo, and bread pudding (our compliments to Chef Frank). It was also so much fun to open up the balcony looking over Bourbon Street to end our reception. They even wheeled a TV into the space at our request to ensure guests had the opportunity to watch the LSU game. Jennifer, who helped us through the planning process, and Tyrone, who coordinated the event day-of, were both professional, helpful, prompt, friendly, and so accommodating. Pat O's allowed us to drop off decor the day before our wedding and pick up the day after, so we didn't have to worry about logistics the day-of. The Briars Suite included hors d'oeuvres, dinner, dessert, and a full open bar for 3 hours at an incredibly reasonable price (Joey, the bartender, took GOOD care of us). Hands down, the best investment of the night.

o our guests who have traveled. We met many of our guests in the courtyard on Friday night. The ambiance was perfect, the service was great and the drinks and food were delicious. Chad from sales had drink tickets ready for us to pick up in advance from the gift shop to stuff the welcome bags for guests. When my husband and I got there, we talked to Larry(server) and let him know we were getting married/ we have family and friends joining us. He let us light the fountain and it was awesome!!! He made sure everyone in the courtyard was well taken care of and he was so much fun! Thank you for a great experience from start to finish and for memories we will always cherish!

at responding to my inquiry, and once I decided to move forward with them they made the planning process very easy (even during the holidays)! We literally had the best night of our lives there. Our guests had SO much fun, they were talking about it for weeks. My parents even extended our time there an additional hour because we weren’t ready to call it a night!! The Briar Suite was the perfect size for our guest count, and we had private access to the balcony facing Bourbon. Our guests had so much fun tossing beads!! We also booked one of their piano players and she was absolutely amazing and knew every single song my guests requested. I didn’t have time to eat because I was running all over the place taking pictures with friends and family, but everyone thought the food was superb! And the open bar included all of their signature drinks, so lots of hurricanes!! We’re so sad our wedding is over, but we’re already planning to throw one of our anniversaries at Pat O’s in the future!! Thank you to the Pat O’s team for making our wedding night so amazing!!

s all night. The wait staff was very professional and helpful all night. They even assisted my handicapped father up and down the stairs. Jennifer was our contact before the wedding and made us comfortable from start to finish. This is the absolute best place to have a small destination wedding. Your guests will never forget!

. The whole venue was the perfect size for our reception of about 200 people, but the venue is flexible and can accommodate a smaller party and even a larger party! The decor is warm and very much reminiscent of the decor inside Pat O's on Bourbon Street. There was plenty of room but we were able to see everyone easily. There are also several areas to escape the crowds and the music and enjoy a drink. All-in-all, the perfect venue for us. THE STAFF INCREDABLE. I cannot say enough about the amazing staff! Jennifer was our point of contact for the venue, and she was instrumental in making our big day a tremendous success. There was never an email not replied to or a phone call not answered or returned. She and the rest of the Pat O's staff were so accommodating to all our wishes, including the bar tenders (we...like to drink!) and our bridal consultant who ran around all night and made sure we had anything we (or our parents) needed! FOOD HOLY. COW. The food was unbelievable. Now, I've been to a wedding or two, and normally the food is ok. Something to munch on when you've had a few too many or you're simply STARVING, but isn't much to write home about. Pat O's has an amazing chef and he prepared the most delicious food and we were so happy and so so satisfied! OVERALL We are SO SO happy we went with Pat O'Brien's on the River as our venue for our wedding. We could not ask for a better evening, better food or better service. Thank you SO MUCH Pat O's for making our reception unbelievable!

ways quickly answered our questions and gave wonderful recommendations. She made the planning process easy and stress free. She's coordinated all of our vendors for the day of the reception and the staff made sure everything was set up perfectly. Evelyn, our reception night coordinator was also great! She made sure all of our needs were met and even stopped traffic to help us make it to the reception! The food and drinks were wonderful as well! The staff made sure we all had food to take home and packed all of our decorations for my mom to pick up the next week, which made the end of night stress free! We would 100% recommend Pat O's on the River for anyone looking for an amazing New Orleans venue!

lking into our reception was incredible with views of the Riverboats at sunset over the Mississippi. Jennifer is also amazing to work with and was available to us every step of the way. We also had someone at the reception who made sure that we (bride and groom) had everything we needed and a drink in our hand at all times. The food is also amazing. The venue is beautiful on its own with the copper table tops, floor to ceiling windows looking over the river, chandeliers, iron gates, and brick walls. Don't hesitate to book here for a worry-free reception!

Multiple people mentioned how great the flow was. Food was good enough and the bars were great. Highly recommend!

d food and an atmosphere that fit with the vibe we were hoping to achieve. while that would have been enough the team there took our expectations and exceeded them on every front, wedding coordination, vendor coordination, countless emails and always an attention to detail. I have never heard another bride say their day went perfectly but thanks to the amazing people working there we truly had the perfect wedding, everyone had a great time, the food and drinks were amazing and everything was seamless. the team made sure that coordination between vendors was covered, coordination between their team was covered, and my husbands and I's feelings were accounted for, all at a price that I could only dream of and yet was a reality. I 100% recommend this amazing venue and team of thoughtful individuals who took our dreams and took it to more than we ever could have dreamed of. thank you for the amazing memories for they are worth more than gold.

a, outdoor and main space. Pat O's food was delicious and served elegantly. The flowers were gorgeous! They worked very well with our bakery choice.We had a wonderful reception experience!

re, the tables, the linens (which are unnecessary, the copper tables themselves are very cool). They will do everything and make your day as stress-free as it can possibly be. Our wedding was perfect, and all I had to do was show up and take my things when I left. Not to mention the food. OMG THE FOOD.

wedding here and paid for a set amount of people whether or not we had that many guest. For my groom and I thought it was a win, win . Jennifer and I kept in touch through the course of the year long wait to our wedding . I meet with her in Aug 2018 to see the venue. I had only seen it online. We also meet up prior to the wedding and I provided her our items for the venue . Anthony was our day of event coordinator and he was just Superb. Everything was wonderful food, drinks, flowers & service . Our wedding was simple but it was everything I could have hoped for .

ially our reception venue) on photos and reviews alone. Jennifer was so responsive to every question I had (and there were a lot of them), she was also so accommodating to every request we had. When we got to New Orleans to drop off our decorations and misc. items Jennifer showed us around the space and helped us visualize how it would look the day of the wedding. We were definitely not disappointed! The space was incredible, we were in the Promenade room, which in the photos honestly looked a bit small, but seeing it in person was a whole other ball game. The views of the Mississippi River were amazing during the day and even more so at night. The night of the reception when we entered the venue, we were blown away how they transformed the space to exactly how Jennifer had described to us previously. Everything looked amazing. Our bridal coordinator, also named Jennifer, was absolutely incredible. She met us on the street when we rolled up with our Second Line Parade and led us to the space. As soon as we entered the room she swept us away into the bridal suite and got us drinks and a ton of food- we honestly could not eat it all! She made sure that we were taken care of with food and drink not only at the beginning, but throughout the reception. We continuously would put down our drink to take photos/converse with guests and would always end up losing our drinks, Jennifer was on top of it and would always have a new one ready for us. The guests had nothing but rave reviews about the staff and the incredible food that they prepared for us that night. The only minor complaint that some guests were commenting on, was that at the end of the night it did not ease down- it was a hard stop at 9:15 pm (understandable, since that is the time we had the space until) but that the police officer on-site was a bit brash in having people stop and exit the premises. I honestly think it was simply that the night went by so quickly, that they weren't aware that it was time to leave. It did not by any means ruin the night, we kept the party going afterwards. All of our guests that we've spoken to have stated that this was the best wedding they have ever been to, and I feel that Pat O's played a huge part in that. I would highly recommend them to anyone else looking to get married in New Orleans.

e from the bartender and the entire staff!

aff provided everything we needed for the toasts.

hole time we were there." And I have to agree, I love me some NOLA eats, but these reception bites were top notch! There was another wedding in the space next to us, and at first I was worried that the noises would clash with each other, but Jennifer assured me that we wouldn't even notice, and she was totally right. So if you're a bride who is hesistant to double book with another bride in that other space, don't worry about that. Everything was so, so wonderful. Thank you!

t and wedding coordinators were tremendous. The staff was first class all the way, and their experience really showed at every turn. Their focus on seemingly simple details like getting the couple into the bridal suite to eat before going into the reception, help the day run smooth. We received great feedback from our guests about the food. It gave our out of town guests a taste of the New Orleans cuisine during their visit. Getting to do the tasting ahead of time and having a variety of options was a big plus. A big thing that attracted us to the venue, beyond the beautiful setting, was that the venue handled so many details under their umbrella because we didn't want to manage a slew of vendors, as that leaves many more cracks for things to slip through. Pat O'Brien's on the River handles the food, bar, flower arrangements, security and offers the ability to have the ceremony in-house too. It simply makes the whole process more simple to have just one contact on all of those items. Thank you so much to the entire Pat O'Brien's on the River team for making our day perfect.

rfect. I would recommend this location to everyone.

rocess super easy! She was always available to answer any questions I had and was very helpful. Our wedding reception was amazing thanks to the wonderful staff at Pat O's. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone!

el, claiming they needed to shut down at 2pm the day before the hurricane. They wouldn't push our event up. Then I found out they lied and didn't even close till 6pm! I'm out thousands upon thousands of dollars. My wedding was ruined! 35 guests wanted their money traveling here for it. I spoke to many other ppl in weddings that occurred the same day. Their venues were very accommodating and NONE were cancelled. Obriens did nothing to accommodate. They haven't even done anything to make it up to us! Stay far away from this place.

ugh. 3. Great price for what is included. For the price, you get a fully stocked open bar, all you can eat food, a cake allowance (which covered our whole cake), centerpieces, and floral arrangements. I haven't heard of any other couples getting what we got for such a good price. 4. Lastly and most importantly, the service was impeccable. The bridal coordinator and her assistants put up and tear down everything for the couple, make sure they are on time for different scheduled events, and even went to walgreens and got my husband cough drops when he started coughing. We were just floored at the incredible service. Overall, we got so many compliments about the venue and food. We could not have asked for anything better. Thanks Pat O's!

s and throwing beads from our private balcony (Pat Os will even provide the beads!). The food was amazing, we had passed hors deourves, Spinach dip (so good), Baked Brie, Red Beans and Rice, Jambalaya, and tiny french desserts that waiters passed on trays. The price was very reasonable for how much we ate and drank! Thank you Jennifer for organizing it all and helping me book. I wouldn't hesitate to book and event here again.

patio really open the space up. The decor, furniture and layout are perfect. The pictures on their website doesn't do it justice. Jennifer helped us bring to life our reception in the exact ways we were hoping. Not only with the traditional reception items but also by booking us talent. We had a palm reader, tarot card reader and digital caricaturist. She steered us in all the right directions with what works well, what does, layout ideas and more. The day of the room was set up perfectly. The coordinator on site and all the staff were absolutely lovely. They were so nice to us and all of our guests. The food is excellent. It's always scary when catering an event but the guests were raving about all of the food, especially the high end finger foods passed around and the charcuterie display. We got our dessert bar from Bittersweet Confections and Pat O's coordinated all of that going very smoothly. We would also like to note that we planned all of this from Denver without ever stepping foot in NOLA until the weekend of the reception. Thank you so much Jennifer and Pat O's for helping us put on the party of a lifetime!
