We had our ceremony and reception here and they were absolutely amazing. They were an absolute dream to work with. The food was incredible, and they were so accommodating for our guests with various dietary restrictions. Above-and-beyond perfect.

We had our rehearsal dinner at Calcasieu. The food was, of course, awesome!! We did the Cochon de Lait among other things and it was a real hit with our guests! The room was a great size, I think everyone had enough room to move around and eat. All around, a great event place. However, it was on the pricey side. Also, we only reserved the main two rooms, not the smaller wine room they have. There was another party in there that night so we were unable to choose what we wanted to listen to music-wise. That was a bit of a downer...
