Southport Hall was amazing! We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Southport and they really crushed it! It made for such a unique wedding venue and the owners really made it...
the most seamless wedding planning experience ever. Our guests RAVED about the food and really loved the music venue feel. I would recommend Southport to anyone who wants a non-traditional, uniquely FUN wedding.
Pros: food was fabulous, bartending staff was so incredibly nice and accommodating, owners helped run day-of operations because I did not have a wedding planner and they CRUSHED it. All our guests said it was the most fun wedding.
Bridal shower was held here. Great space, food, and staff. Highly recommend!!!
Wonderful place with attentive, caring staff who made sure I had everything I wanted to make my day perfect. Everyone loved the food and the venue. I would highly recommend Southpo...
rt to anyone looking to get married in the New Orleans area!
We had a beautiful wedding reception at Southport Hall. Hands down best venue in town. The entire staff from the bartenders to the sound techs were absolutely wonderful. Jay was al...
so the best help for my wedding, completely easy going but also on point and attentive to every last detail. I would recommend this venue to anyone from weddings to corporate events. Five stars all the way!!
I wouldn't have wanted my wedding reception anywhere else!! They were amazing and so attentive the entire night. Leading up to the event they were very efficient and quick to retur...
n calls and emails about questions. On the day of the setting up and decorating went so smoothly and they were very friendly. Jay was great about keeping my husband and I with full plates and glasses the entire night long. The food was delicious and all of our guests raved about the Crawfish bisque, Roast Beef, Gumbo and so much more!! I could go on and on about how great they were over at Southport Hall, but I think everyone needs to just try them out and have your wedding reception there!!
The people at Southport were good to work with. A little confusion over getting the contract squared away, but it all worked out. The venue was perfect for what we needed, and the ...
people working the event couldn't have been friendlier. That said, for out of town people, it's super hard to get there, and taxis/ubers all got confused. So, maybe ask for some printed directions you can give to your guests! But once we were there, it was awesome!
Choosing Southport Hall for our wedding reception in July was the best idea ever. Jay and his team were absolutely wonderful!
First, they offered to do as much setup as we needed...
. Our centerpieces required small, fresh flowers on the table and Jay not only put them out at last minute so they would look best, but he arranged them as well.
During the reception, Jay made sure my husband and I were well taken care of and that everything was running on time. When we went outside near the levee to take some photos with our photographer, Jay followed us out there with cold bottles of water.
His crew not only took everything down quickly at the end of the night, but also helped load it up into my mom's car.
I was just overwhelmed with how exceptional the service was. Not to mention, Southport is a great place for a concert but it really cleans up nicely! It was beautiful and it fit our wedding to a T.
My daughter's wedding was February 20, 2016. Wow!!!!! We could not have been more pleased with her reception or had more fun! This is a venue where your guests can really be th...
emselves. If you're looking for stuffy and uptight, look somewhere else! Everything was perfect. What a beautiful old building with so much character, great food, great drinks and the most awesome staff! Jay Bagnetto could not have been more easy to work with and provided us with lots of flexibility. We had Bag of Donuts perform; the layout of Southport is ideal and allows your guests to spread out to other rooms if the music is too loud for some. Jay could not have been more attentive to my daughter and son-in-law during their reception, and at the end of the night, they packed up everything for us and loaded the car! I can't say enough about the entire experience. You will not be disappointed!!!!
I want to celebrate every occasion there! Southport was just our style, laid back and can be dressed up or just appreciate the beauty of the woodwork. Jay is the absolute greatest....
He even laid on the floor to be a human tape measure for me! Your reception flies by, yet the staffs attentiveness allows you to enjoy yourself a stake in the moment.
Not everyone's cup of tea but it was ours. Southport Hall really reinvents itself for weddings.
Yes they have giant concerts and wild college parties. You probably have been to...
one of them there before.
Here is the gut check for you. They were half of the cost of every where we looked in Orleans Parish. Under $50 a person (including tax, tip and security) for 3 hours of quality food (people can't stop talking about the crawfish etouffee) and 5 hours of top shelf alcohol.
Do your research... you can't get 3 hours of bud light and well alcohol anywhere in Orleans Parish for $50 a person... The cheapest we found was $75 and that was with the worst alcohol package and for 3 hours. Again... we had Southport for 5 hours and we had top shelf booze.
This was simply too good to pass up.
If guys in tuxedos passing around appetizers is a must than go somewhere else but expect to pay an arm and a leg (or your parents retirement).
We wanted a longer reception with high quality alcohol and average to quality food. Southport was perfect for that.
We then used the money we saved to add some extra decorations and a little outside catering.
Our guests loved it.
We also recommend having your photographer take pictures of you two outside by the tracks.
This is not your cookie cutter wedding. You can not possibly get better service for the price. Also, everyone loved the food.
Jay and Mark are so sweet ! Jay worked with us in every aspect of our wedding and followed my drunk butt around to make sure I didn't forget anything. Everyone told me the food was...
great (we forgot to eat lol) and he even set up our extra decorations for us the day of. The prices are wonderful ! If you are looking to have a fun reception and not some stuffy sit down dinner I would suggest Southport before anyone else. You will be surprised what you get for the money ! My reception for 130 ppl with open bar and food came out just under 4k
They also let your band or dj use their stage and lighting etc , I 100% reccomend them for any party you are having and definitely for a fun reception !
Southport Hall was like no other venue we visited. It's a former old casino turned into a music venue complete with two bars, a stage, dance floor and an awesome staff. The coordin...
ator, Jay, always put me at ease now matter how many questions I asked. The packages started at $23/person and Jay was very flexible with accommodating any requests we had or additions we needed. They also did (for a very very small fee) our DJ-ing for the reception. It's not a tuxedo sort of place, but I wouldn't have wanted my wedding anywhere else.
Southport Hall has had a colorful history over the years with a variety of uses. Now it is predominanty a concert venue and can be booked for a variety of events. I booked Southp...
ort Hall as the venue for our wedding reception after attending several concerts there and loving the atmosphere. My husband and I couldn't be happier or more sure that we picked the perfect location. The owner, Jay Bagnetto, is the best for an on-site coordinator. He is extermely accomodating and knows exactly how to handle a wedding reception. He's laid back but also on top of everything that needs to happen. The architecture and decor of the space itself is what drew us to this location, so we didn't add any decorations other than what the venue provides standard. Their event packages are well-priced and include a lot for the money. The food is good and plentiful and the bar is well-stocked. Bartenders available for our reception were fast and courteous, and food was refilled as necessary. The venue consists of a main concert hall with a stage, a more intimate front bar, and a glass enclosed sunroom off of a large wood deck. All around, please consider Southport Hall for your next event, whether it is a wedding, reception, reunion, office party, meeting space, etc. There's plenty of on-site parking available.
