Alexander Room and Terrace

The venue was absolutely amazing! This was the one and only venue that my daughter and I visited when choosing a venue for her wedding reception. It was exquisite! Cindy did everything in her power to fulfill every wish that we had and went beyond our expectations to make it the wedding she has always hoped for. The food and staff were amazing! The Alexander Room and Terrace gave us the most beautiful memories to last a lifetime!

Two words: Food and Flexibility

It's been a month and to this day I can't get over how perfect our wedding reception was. Cindy and her staff's ability to transform that room into whatever we desired was simply incredible, especially for how particular we were about certain details. I can't get over how intimate and beautiful the place was with plenty of room for everything. Any worry we had about a vendor, the Alexander Room staff had a reference or an answer on the ready. We had used a ton of their recommendations and we were more than satisfied. Their staff is attentive, their food is AMAZING, and there was never a line at the indoor or outdoor bars despite the 300+ guests we had. Overall, we couldn't have asked a smoother planning process or a more a perfect night.
P.S. Once again, the food was amazing.

Biased but I can't help it!

Full disclosure, my parents run and operate this venue! My mom (Cindy) works with the brides and coordinates everything, while my Dad (Troy) handles the food which comes from the family restaurant- Hobnobber Cafe. So of course, when the time came, I had to get married at The Alexander Room! It's not easy work - cooking the food, planning, decorating, and coordinating your own daughter's wedding. Especially when that day should be just as worry-free for parents as it is for the couple (considering they're paying the bills). But let me tell you, these are the MOST hard-working people in the entire world. I had what seemed like the craziest ideas, from ceiling drapes to hanging flower installations and chiavari chairs, but they took everything I asked for and turned it into the most beautiful thing we'd ever seen. The room completely transformed into something we'd never seen there before. The food was to die for and everything ran so smoothly that there was no room for worry at all. I'm telling you, if you're looking for the best venue in Metairie, this is definitely it! Shout out Mom and Dad for the best night of my life, I love you so much!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
