Having a wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic has been absolutely disheartening and maddening! BUT!! THANK GOD FOR PINEWOOD PLANTATION AND THEIR STAFF! When our daughter's wedding... was canceled in April by the LA governor, Pinewood was so accommodating, kind, and flexible. We rescheduled for July with ease, and they were with us every step of the way with no additional costs! There were also hand sanitizer stations throughout the room, and we felt that they were exceptionally careful and made it a priority to insure the health and safety of our guests!
The Reception Hall at Pinewood Plantation was exquisite! It was STUNNINGLY decorated for us! So clean and lovely! We had about 150 guests, and we had plenty of room to dance! AND WE DANCED ALL AFTERNOON! We even had a New Orleans Second Line parade!
The food was DELICIOUS! All of our guests, mostly from New Orleans- so they know good food- exclaimed that the food was better than any reception hall that they had ever been to. We chose the 2nd catering package (option) and the food was plentiful, hot, and so good!! We had Seafood Pasta, Glazed Pork Tenderloin, Caesar Salad, Meatballs, spinach and artichoke dip, gumbo, etc. Simply SCRUMPTIOUS!! Soft drinks, iced tea, and water were complimentary. We even had a cash bar for alcoholic beverages too.
I challenge you to find better service anywhere!! We had EXCELLENT service and care by Mrs. Terri Haithcock and her staff. They were catering to our every whim and need on the day of the wedding. Terri is so kind and really helped us plan for everything ahead of time. She knew what to ask us and truly knew how to guide our planning despite COVID! She herself was so available and accessible on the day of the wedding! We truly appreciate her and her polite staff!
All in all, we HIGHLY recommend Pinewood Plantation to anyone planning a wedding, an anniversary, or any formal or casual party!! Great Staff, Great Food and a Beautiful location!
