ne is worth a 5 star rating, but I can't say enough or give a high enough rating or referral for the owner, Craig Howard, and his phenomenal staff. Craig worked with our budget parameters and went above and beyond to ensure our guests were greeted with a beautifully decorated room (special thanks to Kirksey Gregg Productions), delicious food and impeccable service. From set up, to bar and food service, to take down, they were there to assist and felt like friends in the end. Special thanks to Mike who was with us on event day from beginning to end paying close attention to every detail and working hard to ensure we had everything we needed. Talk about above and beyond: We lost our DJ last minute and Stephanie (Craig's sweet wife) made a call to DJ Freddy (fantastic) and had him scheduled for us! Our gala team, SML staff and parents are all raving about this being the best experience ever and highly suggest The Ballroom at Bayou Place.
