Absolutely Stunning! Wow!
The Jaxson turned my wedding dreams into a reality! We had an unforgettable experience, thanks to the incredible efforts of Anthony, Lane, and Terry, who went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Anthony was incredible—he provided a vetted list of vendors, which made hiring them effortless. He truly is a miracle worker who made planning my wedding not only easy but also enjoyable! The food was phenomenal—honestly, the best I've ever had at a wedding. And so many incredible options to choose from, tons of New Orleans classics - oysters, turtle soup, muffuletta, jambalaya, beignets, etc. in addition to Asian, American varieties. The fruit tree display was jaw dropping gorgeous and super yummy!
The location is ideal for out of town guests to explore the French Quarter. I loved the versatility of the venue with its beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces. The Jaxson balcony offered guests a stunning view of the river and the Natchez, making the experience even more special.
The venue itself is breathtaking. Its natural beauty meant we didn’t need an overload of florals; just a few small bouquets and some candles were enough to enhance the space. Really loved how all the food stations were decorated by the Jaxson with florals to match my theme. That really added to the ambiance and gave me peace of mind while planning. I liked the ghost chairs, the table linens, and real silver flatware The Jaxson provided - felt very elegant and then meant less for me to coordinate and buy. The lighting and gobo offer a high end and customized touch to the event.
The staff was truly outstanding, ensuring everyone's had food and drink and making us feel so cared for with a dedicated attendant just for the bride and groom. I couldn’t have asked for a more magical day!

Ryan & I would like to thank the entire team who helped make our wedding reception absolutely magical at The Jaxson! Terry, Lane and Anthony were so amazing to work with during the planning process and they orchestrated everything so perfectly! They decorated the venue so beautifully, including the food table displays to match our reception décor. The food was absolutely delicious, everyone loved it! The wedding attendant we had, Cedric was amazing and made sure Ryan and I had everything we needed on our special night. Thank you all again to the entire staff at The Jaxson for making our dream reception come true!

I can’t say enough about the Jaxson. My daughter had her wedding her May 25. 2024. Everything was perfect. Anthony, Terry and Lanai made sure all of our needs were met. The place was gorgeous. The good was delicious. We had the best time. Plenty of room. We were treated so well I nightly recommended The Jaxson for any event you are having. They will accommodate you in ever way.

Where to begin…JUST WOW!! The Jaxson knocked it out of the park for us. Beautiful venue with spectacular views of the crescent city on the Mississippi River. As a native New Orleanian, I know good food and a good time, and this venue exceed any and all expectations for us on our wedding day. The staff is on it! From every detail large and small (because we know sometimes the small details matter most), every I is dotted and T crossed and then some. From the very first time I viewed The Jaxson I was blown away. It was the perfect place for our 200+ guests, many of whom came from places as far as Japan, Spain and Norway. Every guest had the time of their lives. For the bride and groom, the bridal suite provides a beautiful and comfortable place to enjoy a meal and each other as newlyweds away from the crowd before the celebration begins. The private bathroom is also a lifesaver…especially since my dress was so much dress…it provided a place for me to have some privacy and not have to navigate using the restroom with everyone else around.
The food is delicious with so much variety. A little something for everyone. Cannot say enough good things about this place that now forever holds a special place in my heart. Thank you to EVERYONE at The Jaxson for making the biggest day of our lives so wonderful!

Lane, Terry and Anthony were amazing. They fielded my many questions with such professionalism. I feel like were one happy family in the end. Anthony and our wedding planner, Alicia La Hair worked feverishly as to how to manage the projected inclimate weather...which didn't happen..thank goodness. Terry highly recommended Jack magic DJ and John was spectacular. He had the dance floor rocking the entire time. We had so many guests tell us that this was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. But, Lane and Anthony were spectacular. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Location was phenomenal as you are on the Mississippi river on one side with the heart of the French quarter on the other side.

The team at The Jaxson made my wedding day a dream come true. I feel like I truly cannot express in such a limited space how professional and wonderful it was to work with Anthony, Terry, and Lane - and the entire team at The Jaxson. Everything my now husband and I envisioned was executed beautifully and without the slightest hitch!
The food was incredible, and every one that attended the reception is still talking about how great it was two months later! The service was impeccable. No one was ever waiting for a drink. The venue was immaculate, and well equipped for any vendor. And Anthony was a blessing, and so easy to work with. He made our day absolutely perfect. Finding this venue and team were like hitting the jackpot, and we are so incredibly thankful for everything!

If you’re looking for the best venue to help make your wedding the most magical night, reserve The Jaxson on the River! Lane and Anthony were absolutely AMAZING! They helped make the process stress free and enjoyable. Everything from the decor, the staff, and food was exceptional! My daughter was married on May 6, 2023 and 2 weeks later, I have guests calling and messaging me to say how awesome the food was, how beautiful the decor was, and the staff was so professional and accommodating!
I highly recommend The Jaxson for your special day!

If I could give this venue 10 stars I would. We held my daughter’s reception here and it was absolutely amazing! From meeting with Lane on our first tour of venues to the second we walked out at the end of the reception, everything was fabulous! Lane was very helpful and gave me so much advice and suggestions, and this was before we even decided to book. We toured a few venues, but none compared to what The Jaxson offered. If you’re looking for an all-inclusive venue, this is the one you want! Once we booked, Lane and Anthony were always there to guide me and answer all of my questions and I had lots of them. They had so many suggestions and they were spot on!! My guests have all raved about the food, the venue, the staff, the drinks and the execution of the entire event! The attention to detail that they put into the display of the food was incredible! I think guests thought we paid a florist to decorate all of the food stations, but that was included in the price. The view of the river is stunning! We were also allowed to take pre ceremony photos outside of The Jaxson and I’m sure that was an inconvenience for them, but they never said a word! This place is everything and more, if you’re considering it for a reception or event! If I had to say 1 small negative thing, it would be the personal attendant for the bride and groom and their families, but I honestly think she had a hard time finding us or getting to us. Keeping up with 7 people, who never stopped moving, is no easy task! But it was easy getting a drink at the numerous bars when needed. She was always offering us something to eat though, but when you’re having so much fun, sometimes you forget to eat! My advice to anyone who books The Jaxson, eat at the reception, because the food is some of the best you’ll ever have. We did get some leftovers and they were just as good the next day! Thanks again to Lane, Anthony, Terry and your entire staff for helping me give them the wedding of their dreams! If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change anything!! Run, don’t walk to book The Jaxson for your NOLA wedding! Much love from the mother of the bride, aka Momzilla!

Anthony, Laine, and Terry were great! Terry knows the venue inside and out, and is truly passionate about what he does. Anthony is on point with planning and logistics. He always answered me as soon as possible and made sure that I felt taken care of. The staff who took care of my family and guest were genuinely the nicest people! Our wedding is over, but I hope to see these people again because they truly made our wedding the most amazing night of our lives!

We -very- last minute flew to New Orleans to celebrate our first anniversary in the city we got married in. We of course stopped The Jaxson and we realized, we never left a review.
SO, a year and a day later (I’m sorry!)
We actually booked with them in August 2019 after seeing how beautiful the inside was, all the spots for great photos and loved the idea of having the venue and caterer all in one, (perfect for destination weddings!). We knew booking here means booking with professionals.
Covid came and our 2020 wedding was postponed.
Within hours, the team here had made sure we knew every option for our postponing and was able to make sure we had the same date for the following year. The Jaxson’s team are so helpful and accommodating, they really made the “travel wedding planning with a touch of covid postponement” much less of a headache than it sounds. During this time, they also reached out just to see how we were doing and were always ready to help with any questions, (which I had a lot of and often would ask the same question again a month later, thanks for your patience with me 😅).
Once 2021 Halloween Wedding was officially in the clear, we came back to New Orleans for a tasting - OMG the food!! We wish could have had endless options because all of the food we tried was fantastic. One of the hardest parts of planning was definitely the food for us because it was all so delicious. You can’t go wrong. AND they set up the food stations so beautifully. We had Italian style decor on one table, a seafood station, a voodoo decor food table. We got so many compliments on how beautiful everything looked.
I know this review is already long, you could say it took me a year to write lol, and we did work with The Jaxson for over 2 years.
What I’m trying to convey is they are truly professionals and by the time all said and done, felt like friends - which is definitely the feeling you want when you’re working so closely with someone for your vision of one of the most important days of your life. Their standard is unmatched. We still get compliments about our wedding from how beautiful the space and decorations were to how much people loved the food and ambiance. That is to thanks to The Jaxson and what their team can accomplish. They truly go above and beyond here.
Big big thank you to Anthony, who was the best coordinator we could have asked for. He WILL make sure everything happens correctly and on time and for a bride, groom and entire bridal party who all seem to have the same downfall of “sorry running 10 min late”, this was crucial for our group lol. We followed nearly all his suggestions when it came to floor plan, set up, schedule, etc - this made planning so much easier - and everything went perfectly.
Basically, you want it, they deliver your happily ever after better than you imagined.
Thank you so much to everyone who help put our wedding together, it was beyond our expectations.
Book The Jaxson -
from someone who loved it so much they were ready to book online from states away, fell in love more when I saw it in person, worked flawlessly with them thru a national pandemic and had the most beautiful wedding without a hiccup.

The Jaxson helped us have the wedding of our dreams!!!! We had such a wonderful experience overall. The staff treated us like royalty and anticipated our every need. The only challenging part was one of the sales team pushing their opinions on us about what we should choose for food/colors/etc, but in the end - I just kept standing up to him and we couldn't be more pleased overall!!! Would highly recommend getting married here!!

Let me just tell you. The Jaxson is incredible. The people, the venue - everything. Our wedding was postponed due to COVID & they were SO accommodating. All they wanted was for us to have our special day & they would to anything to make that happen. On top of that - it's beautiful, includes everything you need and has a beautiful terrace overlooking the MS River!! The food is DELICIOUS. I mean seriously, delicious... and THE SERVICE!!! Every plate, cup, utensil, napkin was bussed immediately..there was never a line at the bar. It was great. HIGHLY recommend if you're looking for a great venue in the French Quarter!

My husband and I just had our wedding reception at The Jaxson, and it was absolutely everything I could have ever dreamt of and more! Terry, Lane, and Anthony made the entire planning process so easy, and when it came down to the day of, they ensured everything went as smoothly as possible. The attendants and bartenders were also extremely accommodating, always making sure we were good on food and drinks, along with our family members. And dont even get me started on the food....mouth watering. My guests are still raving about the food. I 100% recommend The Jaxson for ANY event.

My daughter and her husband truly lived out the wedding of their dreams. The Jaxson was beyond perfect we had approximately 315 guests, the size of the venue was perfect, every bite of food was delicious, they had so many bars set up that I not once the entire night saw a line for drinks, not even in the beginning when everyone rushed in at once. Every moment I had to take notice my guests were being greeted with pass around items and the food stations also never had a line and were always replenished and “fresh” looking. Not a detail was missed, they worked with our other vendors so well that there was things I even forgot we wanted until the night of the wedding and was pleased that the Jaxson noted and worked with the other vendors to execute every wish we requested. I honestly can’t think of even one aspect to say that they could use some improvement. Thank you so much, The Jaxson for being one of big play makers in making my daughter’s dreams come true.

We chose the Jaxson to host our daughters reception this November 2021 -a year following her Covid affected ceremony. It was the perfect venue - not only is it beautiful - situated on the Mississippi River -but the owners made the whole process so easy. They took care of every detail so we could just walk in and get the party started!
Our guests are still raving about the food amd service ! Anthony ,the manager, keeps everything running like clockwork! We highly recommend the Jaxson for providing a stress free and beautiful event !

My husband and I randomly stumbled upon The Jaxson in the fall of 2018 while we were walking in the French Quarter. We thought it was beautiful and on a whim decided to book it for a destination spot, knowing no more than it looked nice. After 5 changed wedding dates, we were finally able to have our wedding this October. We had a wonderful time, and looking back we can't think of a single thing we wish went differently.
The Jaxson was beautiful, conveniently located for guests, fun and understanding. If given the opportunity to do it again, we wouldn't change a thing and we would definitely choose The Jaxson again!

My husband and I were thrilled with our choice of the Jaxson. Unfortunately, we were one of the many couples that COVID kicked off track, requiring us to move our wedding a whole year. Anthony and his team were extremely responsive and prompt throughout the whole process. Being out of town, we were worried about the impact that COVID would have on our ability to renegotiate our dream wedding. However, the Jaxson made everything possible. The day of was a dream! Terry did a FANTASTIC job with the decor of the food tables, and everyone absolutely raved about his food. Although we had a smaller group (about 75 people), the space was perfect and COVID friendly for those that were worried. We would absolutely recommend the Jaxson for any special event, but particularly for a wedding. 10/10 would recommend!

Our daughter's wedding was held here and it was FABULOUS!!!! The view was spectacular, the food was exquisite and the service we received was top notch. They did everything we asked of them. All our guests had a wonderful time and our daughter couldn't have been more pleased with the way everything turned out. We also got a refund for the people who couldn't attend due to COVID. There was nothing left to chance. Everything was planned down to the smallest detail. I would recommend The Jaxson to anyone who wants to have a fantastic wedding and reception. They know how to do it right. Thanks for showing our family and friends a wonderful time and for all the great memories that our daughter, son-in-law, and all family members will never forget. We all loved every moment. Keep up the good work.

The Jaxson was absolutely wonderful! It was very stressful dealing with Covid, a new covid mandate, and a hurricane that came through only weeks before the wedding! The Jaxson made the entire process seamless from start to finish, even with all the unexpected curve-balls. There was no need for a wedding coordinator because they are so organized and pro's that Lane & Anthony basically did the wedding coordinator's planning for me. The wedding was absolutely stunning & we had an amazing time.

I was a groomsman at my friend's wedding and the reception was here in 2018. I remember how (1) perfect the venue looked and felt, (2) delicious the food was, (3) friendly the staff was, (4) ideal the location was. Usually, all I remember is the drinks and band at weddings.
Fast forward to Jan2020, when my wife and I were planning our wedding. We biked around the Quarter, visiting about 7 reception venues in our budget. For the reasons mentioned above, the Jaxson stood out. The only reason the other venues are comparable is that they're historic, and NOLA people appreciate old stuff more than others. When my wife saw how beautiful, clean, and well-kept the venue was, and how professional and trustworthy management was, she was as sold as I was in 2018. When you consider all that, along with it being "next door" to partying, parking, pictures opps, and hotels in the quarter, you literally cannot beat it. Also, since it's on Decatur, buses can pickup/dropoff in the front. This is was very convenient since we had lots of guests coming from TX, and we wanted to keep them off the streets in NOLA (especially the Quarter).
When we were forced to push our reception back a year because of COVID, the Jaxson walked with us and were extremely supportive in making sure that our reception was everything we dreamed it would be even after 2 years of drama.
Two weeks ago, it finally happened, and it was absolutely amazing! For the last two weeks, we've received a steady stream of calls/texts from out-of-town guests saying the venue was beautiful and food was incredible. Of course, they loved the band too (NOLA Dukes). Some said that they would actually consider getting married (or having their daughters' wedding) there even though they have no real connection to the city. What really surprised me were the calls/text from the locals (my friends/family from Orleans to St. James) who were blown away by the venue (and other aspects). These people are no strangers to NOLA (specifically) weddings and legendary parties, so their opinion meant a lot to me.
If you have your event here, it will be awesome. Can I come?

I can honestly not recommend the Jaxson as the owners are not
customer oriented . We signed a contract in good faith for a fall
of 2020 wedding reception which became greatly affected by pandemic restrictions as the wedding approached. The owners
of the Jaxson would not refund our $7,500 deposit and gave us one option to have a reception in a year. This didn't work for my
family and it saddened us greatly that they kept a deposit for an event they were unable to have. Be warned

My son's wedding was originally scheduled for September, 2020, but due to covid it had to be rescheduled. Terry, Maegan, and Anthony worked hard to reschedule it for December. Our reception was the first wedding event since March. The reception was absolutely stunning! The staff were all very friendly and professional. They made us feel like we were royalty. The food was amazing. You definitely can't get better food at any restaurant in New Orleans. Our guests are still raving about the delicious food, drink, and friendly staff. I can't thank Terry, Maegan, Anthony, and the whole staff for making my son's wedding so memorable!

We are extremely disenchanted by the customer service, offered by the Jaxson. My fiancé and I were over the moon trilled, about having our special day in New Orleans. Surrounded by our beautiful family and friends. Then Covid-19 happened . We reached out to the Jaxson, expecting to receive some type of empathy, but we were left feeling completely saddened and broken. By their lack of empathy. We paid our non refundable 7500 deposit, in February. Our thoughts when reaching out to the Meagan ( the sales manager). Was that she would be willing to compromise. We were offered very few options, one was to move our event to sometime next year .Which, in our opinion, this option was completely unreasonable. When we asked to speak to one of the owners (Terry). We were told, he would be available to speak to us the following week for only 15 mins. This type of customer service is completely rude, in our opinion. My husband is a army veteran and he is also from New York. He was extremely excited about having his family and friends come to New Orleans to experience. The culture , music and of course the food. He sent the Jaxson, a long heartfelt letter. Expressing his thoughts and how much this wedding meant to us. We were left with no response from them. We had to then hire a lawyer to try and recoup our deposit. With everything going on during this global pandemic . This time, that was suppose to be the most exciting time of our lives, but has become a complete nightmare. Because of the Jaxson. After speaking to their lawyer, which is related to one of the owners. He told my lawyer in writing and me verbally, if I didn’t take down my honest review. They would press changes against us. Wow! Again, completely heartless. During a time when so people are out of work and losing their lives, We had been saving up for an entire year to have our dream wedding. But we are now out 7500.00 dollars of our hard earned money. Everything stated is based on our personal experience with the Jaxson. They tried to have our review taken down 3 times. Because they don’t want consumers to know the truth. But I don’t want anyone to experience what we have endured with the Jaxson.

We can't say thank you enough to Maegan, Anthony, and the entire staff at The Jaxson for making our day perfect! From day one, Maegan was super responsive, answered all my questions, and helped us make decisions . We planned our wedding from out of state, which can be stressful, but Maegan was quick to work with our crazy schedules to make sure everything was planned and was always a phone call away if we needed. The venue by itself is beautiful and the uplighting and GOBOs added the perfect personal touch. The bridal suite was perfect for us to relax before the ceremony! And I love how they built in time for me and my husband to enjoy a few minutes alone while we ate the amazing food after our ceremony. All of our guests raved about the food - especially the mashed potato bar and fettuccine!! Our personal attendant, Mark, was nothing short of amazing. He was always there offering a replacement drink or water or helping make sure we stayed on our timeline. My dad had nothing but great things to say about him, as well! Overall, our day was perfect and went exactly as we had imagined it! We couldn't be happier that we chose The Jaxson for our special day!

This venue is so beautiful and speaks for itself. The decor, ambience, location, view, and amenities offer a total package that no other venue offers. Maeghan and Anthony did a wonderful job, making sure our event was perfect, and exactly as we 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.

Its hard to believe its been over a month now since our daughters wedding. First of all the whole experience was just wonderful.

Our wedding reception could not have been more perfect. The staff at the Jaxson were able to take our vision for the night and make it a reality. They are very detailed and methodical on how they conduct their business.
My wife and I come from 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.

I don’t really need to talk about how stunning this venue is, because it honestly speaks for itself when you visit. However, I must point out that I loved the combination of indoor and outdoor spaces! Our guests LOVED that. The interior is SO chic 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!!!!

As the Mother of the bride I can not say enough about how impressed I was with the Jaxson! From the beginning meeting with Maegan, to the tasting with Terry, to phone calls with Anthony the attention to every detail was amazing! Marc Allen 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!

Wow, wow, wow!!!
It has been two months since my beau and I said our “I do” at The Jaxson on the River. This beautiful venue gave us exactly what we wanted and so much more. From the location, to the excellent and courteous staff, and the best 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!

After having our wedding planner run us all over New Orleans we settled on two locations to choose from. One was a little more "wedding formal" than The Jaxson, which we felt may be what we wanted since our guests were older family members. HOWEVER, 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"!!

WOW! I cannot speak highly enough about the Jaxson and don't even know where to begin! Everything from the phone calls from Anthony regarding creating the exact floor plan we wanted to the planning of the menu and everything in between was absolutely 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!!!

The Jaxson was the best decision I made for my wedding. The venue was beautiful, food was delicious and the employees were very attentive. The food stations looked amazing. The Manger made sure every detail was taken care of. We even had some minor 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!!

If you're looking to wow your guests on every level, look no further than The Jaxson! This is of one of the best wedding venues anywhere; not just NOLA.
Layout: First, let me say the venue itself is beautiful! Soft color palate (think airy, modern 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!

Picking the Jaxson for our reception was by far the best choice. I have never gotten so many comments about how awesome the service was and how outstanding the food was. My wedding was April 6 and still people are talking about the Jaxson. The 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!!

Having my ceremony and reception at the Jaxson was absolutely the best decision I have ever made. From the beginning when I was researching venues, I knew I wanted an outside ceremony with the reception being inside and outside. The Jaxson was 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.

My daughter's wedding reception was at The Jaxson and it was amazing. The food was outstanding and the service was fabulous. The lay out of the venue was perfect for us. We had multiple stations for wedding favors, signing tree, photos of family, 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.

My fiance and I live in Houston, but my fiance is from New Orleans. I wasn't quite sure how I was going to essentially plan a destination wedding...as it was difficulty for us to make frequent trips to NO. However, working with the Jaxson from 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 whole team at the Jaxson is the best in New Orleans. I cannot explain how helpful and thoughtful they are to our needs. The venue is perfect of course, but to have the team to care about all our needs, in the most important time of your life, 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 Jaxson was the best reception venue we could have ask for! Sabine and Tray were a delight to work with and are very professional. They made sure the planning process was seamless and that we were happy with all our choices. Our personal attendant 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!

I honestly can not write enough good things about The Jaxson. I did not have a wedding planner and honestly do not regret it because of how attentive The Jaxson was through the whole planning process. Not only is it located in the heart of the 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!

LOVE LOVE LOVE. The moment I toured the venue I knew it was the perfect space for us! Sabine and Tray were so helpful throughout the process and helped us with decisions for food choices and layout for the venue. We did a choreographed dance for 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!

My wedding reception was at the Jaxson on Dec 2. The whole experience was excellent. Tray and Sabine were so easy to work with and made sure to perfectly execute the vision that I had for the reception. Mr. Earl, the bartenders, servers, and the 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!
