The Crossing

ng!!! I can't get over how attentive they were to me throughout the whole process!!! Jenny (the owner) is the most wonderful person in the whole wedding-business-world!!! Thank you

ntly in. My plans change a few times due to the pandemic, but every new request was met! My guest all said it was the best wedding experience they had been to. It was easy and had the New Orleans vibe that I wanted for my big day! The food was also 10/10... my guests are still talking about it!

t. The food was AMAZING! All of the guests were raving about all the different options and how good everything was. They made the entire day as easy as possible. All of the staff was so friendly. I'm so glad I chose The Crossing.

perfect. The food for our guests was delicious; we got so many compliments. We had a D.J. with the dance floor in the middle of the room. No one left the dance floor the entire time, but it never felt too crowded. The venue was perfect!

ur of the place and fell in love with it almost immediately. We had a date in mind set and even though the Italian Festival was down the street in the same weekend, Jenny and D.J. worked with us to make sure that the parking and timeline was figured out to keep our minds at ease. The venue is a little on the smaller side for anything larger than 250 but it worked so well for us and our 200 guests despite having a whole band set up and lots of tables and there was still plenty of dance floor space. Since we had a larger number of guests, they set up a tent on the outside for more seating and an outside bartender. We had our ceremony outside and it was so beautiful! Even with our Photo Booth, our wedding guests turned the exposed brick walls as a backdrop for pictures and I loved that. They were patient with us for every question we had and every change we wanted to make. The food that they had with LaBella's Catering was delicious too! Thankfully they have a taste testing every quarter for people to come try out the food and even though we didn't get a whole lot to eat for ourselves that night, they made sure to pack us up some containers of the food and cake for us after. Everything was perfect and there wasn't a thing that we had to worry about the day of the wedding! The only thing that upset me was that we had 4 cakes for the reception and didn't realize that they cut up all the cakes and give them to the guests in to-go boxes because I really wanted to have a good bit of the cakes to bring home since we knew we weren't going to be able to enjoy it that night. But even so, that's just something that we should have communicated with them, so if you want to have more than a slice of your cake to take home - talk to them about it and see if it's possible!

sion we had, while incorporating ideas they had from prior events. Our guests are still raving about the taste and quality of the food! They also loved the ambience of the exposed brick and indoor/outdoor seating options, and the light wall was perfection. It doesn't seem like much, but go check them out - you will not regret it!!!!!

linens down to help with decor! We had many in town and out of town guests and they all commented on the beautiful and fun ambiance as well as the delicious food!

reached out several times about the venue for their own weddings coming up!

ily (about 35 ppl), the Crossing was the perfect setting for our ceremony and reception . Our ceremony was held outside on their covered patio, romantically decorated with luxe curtains, candles, fireplace, & rose pedals sprinkled down the aisle to give you an idea. The Crossing took care of the catering, the food was delish and served to us. Our reception was held inside, even though the space is intimate it's large enough for dancing, DJ, we also had a photo booth, snowball stand, & more with out feeling cramped. We truly loved our experience with the Crossing.

ous. Thank you guys for giving me the best wedding ever!!1

re able to provide me with tea light holders, vases, linens, and set/break everything down. They were very helpful during the rehearsal and the day of the wedding. Everyone raved about the food and the railroad was the absolute best backdrop for all my wedding pictures. Everything turned out exactly how I had envisioned, and I highly recommend this beautiful venue.

tiful and the bars were rolling out drinks for our guests. DJ and staff were very accommodating and checking in on us throughout the night. They also had cake bags for the guests as they were leaving and had packed up some extra food for us to enjoy after the reception. DJ was extremely helpful in the entire planning process. She gave us great ideas and helped us out along the way. We were also able to participate in a tasting at the venue which was a great way to pick out our food selection. Everything was perfect and I am so happy with their service, food and hospitality. LOVE!

t the train and had it ever passed during a ceremony but was told no the first time. The second time we asked was during the day-of planning and was told, "Oh, only one time." During rehearsal, we asked again because of course, the train passed right around the time we would be having the ceremony and was told it had happened twice. The bridal suite was not cleared out as there were many items and only one chair available for use. Food was great and everything looked lovely, better than what I envisioned for my wedding. We made a few small requests and were accommodated. They were not overbearing which was great. The process was easy and stress-free. This was a great spot for my small wedding!

iments about The Crossing!!! They make everything so easy for you!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!! Thank you for everything!

, vases, candle holders, etc! Also, owner Jenny is super helpful with getting things organized. They will even set up a satellite food and drink station under a tent outside if you have enough guests to alleviate crowds at no extra charge! Definitely recommend!

ould pick the menu. Nancy was kind enough to offer a closet full of decor that we could use free of charge. We wound up bringing our own candle holders, but she put candles in them for free! The exposed brick on the building made for wonderful photo ops. I was worried about the size of the venue, but we had more than 100 people and there was plenty of room. Guests raved about how wonderful the food was. One of the employees was always on hand to let me know what was coming up next, keep us on schedule, and make sure I had a glass of wine or water at all times. I can't say enough good about this place. You've gotta go check it out for yourself!

for our evening wedding reception. The majority of our guests keep mentioning how great the food was and how lovely the space was. The attendant who kept checking on my husband and I was incredible. She made sure that I ate, even when I wouldn't sit down for long periods of time. Everyone was good with communication and made this whole process an enjoyable experience for my husband and I and everyone else involved. They even took the time to cut and bag the leftover cake that we didn't want to take home and pass it around for people to take home with them. We can't say enough great things about our wedding reception there.

much everything you need, including a wedding coordinator! Our wedding coordinator, Becca was phenomenal! I highly recommend The Crossings for a wedding venue if you are looking to have a gorgeous outdoor ceremony with spectacular views and for a steal of a deal!

We booked our day with Jenny who is very laid back and knowledgeable on all things venue and decor. Then, Nancy, our day of coordinator was super easy and cool to work with. Angie was our bridal attendant and she was a lot of fun, and more importantly, kept us happy the entire night! The staff even had umbrellas waiting on us when we arrived because it was storming! All of my guests raved about the food-ask to have your 15 minutes of dinner in the bridal suite before the party starts because the food and time with your new husband will be so worth it. It's a no-brainer that you want to have your reception at The Crossing. There is more than enough parking for all of your guests. You have tons of photo opportunities along the beautiful Rivertown street and the railroad tracks, and The Crossing is within 15 minutes of so many gorgeous Metairie and Kenner churches. Leading up to the wedding, I was a little nervous because The Crossing staff is very busy, so I didn't receive the quickest responses, but FEAR NOT! your day will be perfect and everything will come together shortly before.
