The Jaxson

envisioned that. Maeghan answered every question, returned every call, and accommodated site visits quickly and without hesitation. Anthony’s personal attention to every detail was astounding. He worked tirelessly from beginning to end, always thinking ahead and with a smile. So very pleasant and kind; everyone was caring and attentive – I truly felt like I was part of the Jaxson family. Food was also a big priority for us! The food, at Jaxson, was the best I’ve ever had at any of event. Everyone loved the food and are still talking about there variety of delicious choices. I couldn’t have found a better place at such a great price for our special day.

r staff was so helpful and the Jaxson was just the perfect place for us. As parents of the bride we really appreciated.how ya'll treated our family and guest. All the feedback was all positive from everyone so great job my friends. My daughter and our new son in law will have awesome memories to last a life time and more. Give Anthony a high five for me because he really took the time to make sure everything was perfect.I would highly recommend Jaxson to everyone. Good luck and Happy New year Vick and Susan Corso

two different cultures. Staff at the Jaxson were able to blend both of our expectations seamlessly. This place is more than just a venue, they assist with vendors, logistics, narrowing a guest list and a second line just to name a few.

hic and the customizable ambiance lighting really just brings everything together! I also loved that they have the ability to adjust the music volume for the different “areas”. Our guests who just wanted to mingle and catch up with family/old friends didn’t need to shout to hear one another, and our guests who wanted to GET DOWN, had the music as loud as they wanted on the dance floor! The bridal suite is beautiful! It was ideal for pictures and we had access to it 5 hours before our ceremony! (Everywhere else we looked was just an hour or two) Moving on to the food! Maegan worked with both our budget and our preferences in order to get us the perfect menu! I can’t rave enough about the meat pies, zucchini beignets, and fried turkey!!! I had so many guests ask about the unique way the gumbo was served up! (It was so hard not to lie and take credit for that idea!!) Ugh, and now I’m hungry. Anthony and Maegan did SUCH an amazing job coordinating with our vendors to make sure everything went smoothly. (They also suggested an amazing DJ/MC and a second-line band coordinator when I was getting overwhelmed with all of the choices!). The day of, Anthony was there to make sure that our DJ knew the schedule of events, and that our photographers were where we needed them at the right time! He also was so flexible and went along with all of my last minute changes without missing a beat! Overall, we had an amazing time, our guests had an amazing time, and we are so glad we went with the Jaxson! Thank you for making our day so special and stress free!!!! <3 K&K

was my daughter and new-son-in -laws attendant and he was at their side the entire night! Remarkable! The food was awesome, the bar ran smoothly, and the entire night was perfect! Our coordinator, Nick Hebert, and Anthony worked side by side to have every detail timed perfectly! Truly a Mother and Dad could asked for nothing more than this Magical Evening for our daughter ! Thank you for the best night ever! The Jaxson is Perfection! They have the greatest Southern Hospitably anyone could ask for in New Orleans!

food I’ve ever had at a wedding, everything was perfect and so very special. Their gorgeous bridal suite is inviting and definitely allowed my bridal party and I an opportunity to enjoy and relax before the big moment. The Jaxson turned our wedding visions of vintage romance into reality and allowed our photographer and videographer to capture amazing memories. Thank you Jax!! You all are so much more than a venue! #morewithmorgan2019

EVER, after meeting with the on-site planner and our tasting there was NO WAY we could go anywhere else. Our personal assistance Andrea, who was assigned to us by the venue for the entire event was ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY AMAZINGLY PERFECT!!! She not only took care of my husband and I, every time we turned around she had a drink or something to eat right there, she also took extra care of my Mom, my Brother and other family members who weren't even listed on our list of important people. The staff was extremely professional while enjoying their time, which adds to the culture and experience. Meagen, Anthony and the ENTIRE staff at The Jaxson are dedicated to ensuring your day is not only PERFECT, but that you and your guests feel as though they are their personal special guests!! For this we are EXTREMELY grateful!! Thank you for being a part of making our day PERFECT and as the guests say, who are STILL talking about it an entire month later, "EPIC"!!

lutely perfect! We got married on June 8th and still, people are speaking about the food and the service at the Jaxson! Anthony, Maegan, and Trey go above and beyond to take care of the bride and groom and their families! They will make whatever you dream you have a reality and it will be even better than you imagined. They coordinate wonderfully with your other vendors and the bride/groom and families don't have to do anything! The food was especially important to us and I really cannot thank the Jaxson enough for having the most delicious food I have ever had! Y'all made this day more perfect than I could have ever dreamed of and cannot thank y'all enough! I will be recommending the Jaxson to everyone that is in need of an AWESOME venue in New Orleans! Thank you Trey, Anthony, and Maegan! Y'all are awesome!!!

inor mishaps that they handled beautifully and made a bad situation, great. The champagne girl that was supposed to greet the guest wasn’t on time and their staff handled it beautifully and even went out of pocket to make it right. I can’t thank the Jaxson and their team enough for making my wedding beautiful and perfect. Thanks!!

odern sophistication; pale grays, taupes, etc.), which will easily blend well with most any décor or theme. There are 3 main rooms/spaces, and the flow from one into the next, makes for a unique reception experience. No cookie-cutter ballroom or restaurant feel here. It's chic and upscale, without being the least bit stuffy. There is a fantastic room of windows which leads to the expansive terrace. I'm sure many brides will find the terrace to be perfect for their ceremony but we went in a different direction... outdoor bar, seating and photo lounge! We held our intimate ceremony indoors in the lovely Decatur Room, with its striking arched windows. It was the perfect blank slate to support our vision for the space. Now I don't know about you, but the thought of having family and friends dressed to the nines, only to have to, how shall I say it? "Navigate" less than pristine restrooms, would have been a deal breaker for us. Here's another area where The Jaxson excels; cleanliness. The entire venue is beyond well-maintained and super clean! Impressively so! Location: Situated in the coolest spot; right the heart of the French Quarter on an upper floor in the former Jax Brewery Bldg. Half overlooking the FQ, half overlooking the Mississippi River. Bonus: perfect location for second lining! Food: If you are a foodie, you've found utopia! The menu is where they leave most of their "competition" in the dust. HUGE selection of everything you could want in a city known for it's amazing food! We went crazy with our menu choices; from the grits bar with various toppings including Crawfish Etouffee and Shrimp Napoleon (yep, on top of grits), to passed hors d' oeuvres like Marinated Petit Rib Eyes and Miniature Muffulettas, to a Bananas Foster Station! Even a seemingly simple hors d' oeuvre such as Asparagus with Champagne Vinaigrette Shooters, had guests who don't even care for asparagus, going back for seconds!Every dish was expertly prepared and gorgeously presented. The feedback from our family and friends was off-the-charts! Off. The. Charts! Staff: This is a venue that knows hospitality. The owner Terry's perfectionistic presence is felt, whether he's in the building or not. He even personally helped set up our food stations! How many OWNERS are that hands-on? Maegan and Anthony were not only easy to work with (responsive to calls, emails and requests), but by the end of the process, felt just like family. Our bridal attendant Amber was exceptional. Ever-present without hovering. Did I mention that her father is their phenomenal chef?! Lots of family vibes, and we loved that! Listen, I realize this glowing review to some, may seem too good to be true. Trust me, it's not. As someone with a seriously Type A personality and an event planning background, the expectations for my wedding were exceedingly high. My fiancé and I had a very detailed wedding vision with LOTS of moving parts. After months of intense destination wedding homework, we entrusted The Jaxson with one of the most important days of our lives, and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. It was pure MAGIC! Weeks later, ALL of us (guests included) are still on a high! If it gets any better than this, we have no idea how. Beyond 5 stars!

team there is outstanding and will go above and beyond you make you have the wedding of your dreams. They offer so many unique touches and makes your reception so personal and they will cater to any of your needs. Having good food was kind of high on my priority list for my wedding and they 100% exceeded my expectations. There was not one food choice we picked that we did not like or any of the guest did not like. I do not think they have enough words to describe how completely beautiful and outstanding The Jaxson is. I would recommend it to anyone who ask! Thank you again for helping with the most perfect day ever!!

just that. The venue was truly perfectly set from the lighting, to the seating, to the dance floor, to the private room for the bridal party to relax during the whole event. Maegan Hyde was professional and most amazing person to work with coordinating my entire event at the Jaxson. I even had her cell number to call and text, since I did not live in New Orleans, and she assisted with every one of my needs. Between her and her staff I literally had nothing to worry about. The Jaxson works with New Orleans Catering for all of their catering, and I can say as a foodie, it was HANDS DOWN the most AMAZING, tasteful, and flavor filled food I have ever had. Terry was such a delight to meet with and handled all of my crazy requests. They set you up with a private lunch tasting a few months before and you are allowed to try a TON of items from their intensely perfect catering book. (Which was so much fun as well). I opted out of a carving station for my event, and instead had an onsite raw and charbroiled oyster station- which was fully staffed and kept the oysters hot and fresh the entire event. I can honestly say the entire Jaxson staff made my dream wedding come true. I would 1000% tell you to use the Jaxson for any event you might have.

ily, dancing flip flops, neon fun stuff and they set everything up beautifully. The worked with all our vendors to bring in and set up photo booth's, the band and our heirloom artist. Guests are still talking about the service and how good the food was. We could not be happier with our choice for the reception. The Jaxson has the BEST coordinators to work with for deciding on menu and many other things that require decisions. True NOLA event. Very happy with our choice.

is the place to go!!! First class all the way!!!

start to finish was an enjoyable and one of the smoothest experiences throughout our wedding planning process! Although there was a change in some pretty important staff members while we were planning, The Jaxson always made sure we were in the loop and that our day would still be perfect (which it was)! Here are few of my highlights with my experience with The Jaxson. 1. Staff: very professional, friendly, and always maintained easy/quick/open communication. My wedding coordinators had a great experience working with Maegen and Anthony to make sure everything we asked for would be fulfilled. One of my favorite staff members was Will, our personal attendant, on the day of the wedding. This man knew where we were better than we actually knew where we were! He always made sure were well fed and had a drink in hand, whether it was a draaank or reminding us we needed to hydrate with water too. 2. Food & Drinks: OMG. Drooling just thinking about it. Hands down best food I have ever eaten at a wedding and all of my guests attested to that as well. Every menu item we chose was phenomenal! My favorite was the fried shrimp, crabs puffs, and crawfish fettuccini. 3. Location: location was so perfect for our guests to get the perfect New Orleans experience of being in the French Quarter at night. I had a handful of guests tell me that they even enjoyed taking a break to go outside and just sit on the patio to watch the fog roll in. The Jaxson truly offered something for everyone in our wedding party. Perfect location to carry on the party with our Second Line which ended in front of Pat O'Brien's. *Side note: I thought parking would be an issue, but did not hear anyone complain about this. 4. Floor Plan: our decorator and wedding coordinators worked closely with The Jaxson to make sure our floor plan appropriately accommodated our last minute increase in guest count. The space flowed so perfectly! There were areas where guests could sit away from the crowd and have a conversation without screaming at each other and enjoy the view of the French Quarter. The dance floor was big enough for our "big" family to bust our moves all night long without feeling overcrowded. All of the little details I envisioned for the space worked perfectly and made for such an elegant and romantic night. I highly recommend this venue for anyone wanting an authentic New Orleans experience in the French Quarter with good food and good views. We do not regret a single penny we spent! The Pochés

ut the entire planning. We knew we were in good hands with professionals who addressed every detail. The food was amazing!

to our needs. We couldn’t have ask for a better experience! Please continue being the rockstars that all of you are! We strongly encourage every bride and groom to give these folks a shot at making your union absolutely stunning!

e, is utterly priceless!!! We had a lot of expectations and they hit everyone of them, especially since we are from out of town! Once the wedding was over, I felt sad to say goodbye to them, because they become your confidants during that year in our planning!!! Thank you a million times over. Lily

the whole day, kept us on track and gave us a perfect wedding to remember!!!

endant Leroy was beyond amazing, making sure we had food and showing up with fresh drinks throughout the night. The venue itself is beautiful and being located next to the river and in the French Quarter is a bonus. All the food was outstanding!! Everyone still talks about how delicious the food was especially the chargrilled oyster bar. We highly recommend the Jaxson!

French Quarter, the balcony over looking the Mississippi is to die for. We ended up doing our first look and bridal party pictures there before the ceremony and they had chilled champagne and our favorite drinks waiting for us to celebrate before the festivities! Thanks to Tray, all of the vendors were coordinated without me having to get too into the details and the reception was picture perfect. Sabine handled every silly food and beverage request we threw at her, and my not-from-New-Orleans family was overwhelmed by how amazing the food was! From start to finish, no detail was left unattended to and our friends and family were so impressed with the level of service and care that went into our special night. My husband and I had the most perfect night and could not have been happier with everything!

ood rave reviews. I would absolutely recommend The Jaxson to anyone looking for a wedding venue in Nee Orleans.

r our first dance and were worried about making sure the space would work, but they let us come during the week and practice in the space, which helped it come out PERFECT! Anything we asked for they worked hard to provide for us. During the event we requested a special liquor for a drink that they didn't have and they actually ran out to the store and bought it so they could serve us the drink we wanted on the spot! Definitely above and beyond and they made sure our day was absolutely PERFECT!

e rest of the staff did a great job and were very courteous. They always made sure that we had something to eat and to drink as well as making sure that all of our guests were well taken care of. The venue was the perfect setting for us. Our guests are still raving about the delicious food. I would highly recommend the Jaxson!

work with, and they struck the perfect balance of letting you benefit from their years of experience while welcoming your ideas to customize your wedding to suit your style. We could not have asked for a better wedding venue. Their outdoor space is gorgeous, and the interior offers a great layout for people to both circulate and gather - it felt more comfortable than other venues that are just one big room. They have designed the space to function smoothly for all the needs of a big event, so you find you don’t have to mess with extras of sound, light, and furnishings that have to be brought in at other places. My priority was the comfort of our guests, and I was so happy to see the level of care and luxury that the Jaxson provided through our entire event. The food was delicious, and they helped me accommodate a whole sea of guests’ dietary restrictions. (My aunt told me, delighted - “I’ve never been able to eat the food at a wedding besides my own!”) I had to plan much of the wedding from out-of-town, and their clear communication, patience, and cheerful help made it a smooth process. I cannot stress enough how kind everyone was, and what a difference that made in ensuring we will have happy memories of our wedding for the rest of our lives. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. From both T and me — thank you all so much for everything.

ul. The venue and included amenities are top notch, and I couldn't have dreamed up a more perfect place to have my wedding reception. My husband and I fell in love with Jaxson immediately. Not only was the venue and its location perfect, but the staff made the planning process so easy and enjoyable. Tray and Sabine are amazing to work with, and they ensure every last detail is customized to your liking. Also, the food is absolutely delicious, and it captures the essence of New Orleans. We received so many compliments on the food from several guests that attended our reception. From the presentation of the food, to the service, to the fine china the food is served on, everything was perfectly tailored. I would recommend The Jaxson to anyone looking for the perfect New Orleans venue! Thank you Tray and Sabine for turning my vision into a reality; it was absolutely perfect!

ch of everything.

fectly New Orleans with expansive river and French Quarter views. Our guests who travelled from Florida and elsewhere loved it, and all of our guests loved the food, drinks, and good times. It wasn't easy, but we were even able to get a Lucky Dog cart up on the patio for our gests to end the evening with a special send off. Great ideas, suggestions, attention to detail, and a great staff of waiters, bartenders and attendants.

the weddings before. The day before the wedding, as per our contract, I was told to be on time for the rehearsal, or else I would be charged a late fee. THEY DID NOT SHOW UP FOR OUR REHEARSAL. THIS IS THEIR JOB. They were not there to take in my items, nor direct the rehearsal, as, they were getting paid to do. Months before, I was given a timeline form to fill out for the days events. They lost the first email, and I had to email another. In the questionnaire, I was asked if drinks were to be served before the ceremony., AND THEY WERE NOT! My processional music was wrong because the lighting tech guaranteed he woud cue my DJ who was coming out. THE MUSIC WAS WRONG! In our reception area, we had a picture memorial of our decreased grandparents. Not only were our parents' wedding day pictures inappropriately placed in the midst of the grandparents pictures, my bridal picture was in the very middle of all the pictures. Minutes before the start of the ceremony, I saw the arrangement, and requested for the pictures to be appropriately placed. The communication at first was fabulous, the food fabulous, our wedding butlers, Andrea and Earl were fabulous!!!! The background setting and vendors were fabulous! I would give them their "5" stars, as deserved. This is a wedding, and mistakes are bound and determined to happen, but the mistakes made were excessive. I.E. They missed the rehearsal. I have emailed with the Jaxson since, and they have failed to email back when asked for compensation. I think for what we paid for the Jaxson, we deserved more.

exposing the French Quarter. The food should be given a 10 star rating. Such a variety to choose from, I felt like I was eating food at a resturant and not at a wedding reception. The table presentation of food was spectacular. Tray and Sabine went above and beyond anything I could have asked. Our wedding was moved up six hours due to a hurricane threat. They could not have been more accomadating with all of my vendors and push everything up. Leroy, our attendant day was poignant, cheerful, and a joy to have serving my husband and I. Overall, the Jaxson exceeded all expectations. The service is impeccable, Tray and Sabine are quick with email responses and worked very well with my wedding planner, awesome sound and lighting equipment, and just and overall excellent package. I would highly recommend, you won’t regret!

We received nothing but compliments from our guests on both! Working with the staff at the Jaxson was easy; Tray and Sabine were always quick and responsive. Thanks to their expert help, all went smooth on our wedding day. I can't say enough good things about this fabulous venue!

decent group whether big or small. The Jaxson has a very experienced, talented and willing staff, ready to help with all the intricacies of your big day. They have a lot of in house amenities that suited our needs and helped with other things they didn’t provide. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our time at the Jaxson. If anyone is thinking of having a traditional New Orleans wedding this is where you want to be.

oing. Tray put up with about 20+ table layout changes from me, his patience was golden! I also have to give a huge thank you to Andrea, she was our personal attendant during the reception and made sure that we were very well taken care of from food, to drinks, to napkins to wipe my sweat off from dancing! She also went so far as to follow us down the street during our second line to make sure we had full glasses of our favorite drinks! Everyone at The Jaxson did a phenomenal job, I would definitely recommend this venue to friends, family and strangers!

ved about the food and how beautiful the space was!

ful to work with...and we had lots of texts, emails, and phone calls over the last months leading up to the event. We didn't even use a wedding planner because of how easy they made it for us. The food was wonderful, just as our tasting was months before, the lighting was magical, we really didn't need to have tons of flowers....the inside and outside were spectacular on their own so that saved $$$ to use elsewhere. I can't wait to see the pictures.....the 2nd Line was amazing....everyone left the venue walking down the steps to Decatur St and then on through the French Quarter!!!! What a finish to the best wedding ever!

g and will make sure no detail is missed. They had so many good ideas and were available to us at all times through the planning process which was very helpful! The venue itself is in a perfect location right in the heart of the french quarter and has all the amenities you could ask for to make your day stress free! The space is absolutely gorgeous and can be utilized in so many ways to fit your vision. Everyone still raves about the food and there were so many options for us to design our menu. Thanks again to The Jaxson for making our wedding so amazing!

have been more spectacular. We had an attendant that kept our drinks forever full and got us anything we wanted. We had a large wedding and the space was more than adequate. It really met every expectation a bride could have and if I could do it all over again the Jaxson would be my place. My only regret about the entire event is that it went by way to fast for us! Our wedding was beautiful and lots of fun. We could not have asked for more!!

ends to correct a terrible mistake. Unfortunately a surprise performance by the Brass A Holics for my husband was ruined as there was a note in the final contract regarding the surprise. Although they bent over backwards to make up for the mistake, it was an incredibly difficult pill to swallow as I worked weeks of overtime to save for the band and had to keep a secret for months when asked about music schedules for the reception and where all that money was going! At the end of the day the Jaxson did the right thing to make us happy, and the overall event was like nothing else. We understand that mistakes are made and therefore would recommend having future events there – Just understand that when dealing with the venue you will have to be EXTREMELY direct on your exact needs and make sure that they are clear on keeping secrets!

! The space is very modern and we loved that it had separate rooms but was still an open floor plan. 1 thing I wish I would have thought of before is to make sure to ask tray to raise the volume of the speakers in the other rooms when the band made announcements so that people knew what was going on when the band stopped playing (cake pulls, bouquet toss, our announcement when we walked in etc). Some people including my mother in law and bridesmaid missed those and were bummed but thank goodness we have tons of pictures ;) Other than that small detail everything went so smoothly and we had the best night ever!!! Thanks again to the Jaxson!!

hotels. The views of the city and river are great and give it a very New Orleans feel, but with a more modern aesthetic. Vicky and Tray were easy to work with. We did have some communication issues via email, but all worked out in the end. We wanted our wedding to feel like it matched our personalities. We had custom products behind the bar and a specialty cocktail. Many places were not open to working with my husband and I on a custom bar since we are in the liquor industry. The menus were fantastic and had tons of options. The little touches like a signature GOBO and a projector for a picture slideshow did not go unnoticed by our guests. They also sent us home with all sorts of food and cava for after the wedding. I highly recommend The Jaxson for any style event.

rs (Florist, Bakery, band, Photography, Photo Booth, etc.), and they handled making sure each vendor knew when and where to be as well as taking care of what equipment they needed, so it was totally stress free for us. They provided us with a coordinator and they ran our ceremony to absolute perfection. The staff was beyond friendly and professional. We had a butler assigned to us who went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of (shout out to Bailey). He brought us food as we were bouncing from around visiting with our guests just to make sure we had the opportunity to eat. Bailey went as far to run to CVS (and paid) to get safety pins for when my wife's dress ripped. We truly felt that he, along with the rest of the staff, took personal interest in making our day as close to perfect as possible. The FOOD! WOW! New Orleans Catering did the food and it was..... INCREDIBLE. The food presentation was amazing, almost looked to good to eat, but god thing we did- it tasted even better than it looked. Friends are still telling us how they are craving the lobster bites, crab & brie soup, and seared tuna etc. (weeks later). We had some picky eaters in our close family and they worked with us to make sure there was something for everyone. They were extremely proficient and knowledgable about their service and really took our vision and exceeded our expectations.

ay were both very helpful in different phases of my planning. Vicky really worked with me to hear my request and to design a package that would fit my needs. Vicky also helped connect me with vendors and planners in the early stages of our wedding planning. I felt that Tray went above and beyond to help me and my husband during the last few months before our big day. For our wedding, Tray made a killer Moscow Mule (per my request for a custom cocktail) and guest still rave about month after our wedding. For us, it was the little extra things that really made us appreciate choosing The Jaxson! The Jaxson has so many gorgeous views of the Mississippi River, and you can feel the southern culture with a modern twist. The elegant design of the space and lighting will create the perfect venue for any wedding!

force behind making our reception both meaningful and stress-free. She was always accommodating, gracious and helpful at every turn. Her knowledge of food, entertainment and what creates a special experience made our event unforgettable. The entire event was walkable from church to reception to hotels. Perfect combination.

ing. We had already signed a contract with a different venue, and a little over 6 months before the wedding our venue said they were closing. I was put in touch with Vicky who was so incredibly helpful and supportive. There was a time when I wasn't sure the Jaxson was right for me and I voiced all my concerns to Vicky, who never pushed me. When we first visited the venue, it was very hard not to love, but it was still a difficult decision for me, since I had already basically planned another wedding. After a lot of discussion with my husband and my dad, I realized that it was the right place for us. And I am so glad I made the decision I did, because I could not see our wedding happening anywhere else. It was perfect for us. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with all the amenities a bride could hope for, and the people there are all incredibly wonderful. I am so happy we chose the Jaxson, they really gave us the perfect wedding.

comodating. The food was incredible. The venue itself is beautiful. And the views of the city.... Wow! We can't say enough about this place! Made our day truly one of a kind and a day that we will never forget!

breathtaking rehearsal dinner. The food was amazing, the bar was perfect, the view of the river great and the staff was incredible!! Awesome choice for a rehearsal dinner or any event.

and the views of the mississippi were the perfect venue for our 250 person wedding. All our best to the Jaxson moving forward!!

e is beautiful and meticulous, the amenities are amazing and the set ups are top notch. Just can't say enough about how wonderful the venue is. Highly recommended.

g cake was positioned in front of the window over looking the French Quarter.. They also had several bars and the guest didn't have to wait line.. Natalie Tatje Mother of the Bride
