We couldn't have asked for a better place to have our wedding. If it was up to us we would repeat this EVERY WEEKEND!!
While doing the research through TheKnot.com, I felt very... drawn to it energetically just based on the photos and other reviews. Once we landed in New Orleans, we scheduled an appointment to tour it, and we fell in love immediately and decided to not even look at any other venue. Laura is amazing, kind, and very professional. She has all the patience to go over any doubt you might have and is always willing to answer questions and go the extra mile, making sure everything is perfect and taken care of. She has checklists for everything which works great when you have so many things in your head and don't know what you are actually doing. They make planning a wedding as easy as it can be!! We planned ours in 2 months and everything went perfect with the venue! She took all of the stress out of everything.
Another thing that drew us to Cedar Grove was the food reviews. Right from the beginning, by checking the food packages they offer, you can see the difference between this venue and the others. (I'm a trained chef and this was a big deal for us). Well, we definitely DON'T regret it. Patrick is an amazing Chef. The food was incredible!! Our guests and family are still talking about it.
Laura let us customize everything we wanted, being that we have different traditions in Colombia, and everything was just as I imagined it. Even on the day of the wedding, during the ceremony, and later during the reception, we were tweaking things and asking for additional favors to make sure everyone was comfortable, and she took care of everything without hesitation. You'd be hard pressed to find a better planner, venue, food selection, and host individually let alone all wrapped in one.
The number one thing that sets Cedar Grove apart from every other place is, Laura and Patrick. You can honestly tell that they care. They are attentive, thoughtful, and invested in making your wedding the best it can possibly be. We couldn't have asked for anything better, and this is definitely not the last time we will have a event there.
