You won’t find better!!!

This isn’t a single negative thing I can say about Crystal Events. From the day of viewing the venue up until the day of, the service is exceptional. Diego, the owner, is so kind and passionate about what he does. He was by my side every step of the way, even sending me pictures and videos of my setup the day of the wedding to make sure everything was perfect in my eyes. This venue is all inclusive…food list so long (and delicious) nobody can possibly eat it all, open bar, DJ included and even gratuity. If you’re looking for an amazing venue, that cares and is super organized, I couldn’t possibly recommend anywhere better!! 100/10 stars!!!! Thank you Diego! You were truly my “Man of Honor” from start to finish!!

Super satisfied

Last night we had our 10 year class reunion and I must say the new owner has remodeled this venue and it looks so beautiful.
From beginning to end was absolutely awesome.
The staff took super great care of us,
The Dj kept us all on the dance floor.
The bartenders remembered our drinks.
The food was to die for, my favorite is the gumbo, shrimp pasta, wings, and corn and shrimp bisque.
If you’re looking for a local event hall in the New Orleans surrounding area, don’t look anymore. This is your place to have your event!
Thank you Diego and Shelby.

Excellent experience

Beautiful place for wedding especially with all the renovations that were done.
It was during COVID and our wedding was perfect!! All of the staff was very attentive and friendly. Diego (the owner) was there to help me ever step of the way with any questions I had and he helped me the day of my wedding with an issue that came up.
I can’t say enough about the way Shelby did my decor that I brought there to set up in memory of family and fallen soldiers. I just gave her a box and said use what you want and decorate the way you think looks good. My family was pulling some of the staff on the dance floor because we wanted everyone to have fun including workers.

I was one of those laid-back brides and just went with the flow, because after always being the bridesmaid I learned that there is nothing you can do if something happens the day of the wedding so just go with the flow from the beginning. All I can say is that everyone had a great time and the staff at Crystal Events made sure they did.

The owner, Donnie is very helpful & worked with all of our needs. We had to change the time of the ceremony and he was very cooperative. The price of this venue fit our budget perfectly for all that's included. I would recommend The Crystal Plantation to everyone who asks about needing a venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
