Small Wedding Reception

Galatoires was amazing! From the first email, until we stepped out the door, the service was superb! The Wine room was perfect for my intimate (12 person) dinner/reception after our COVID-19 wedding. Jordan, Kristi, Blake and Dallas were all professional and pleasant to work with. The room was beautiful and the perfect size. We got to dance on the balcony and play a slideshow inside. The food and drinks were wonderful also. I would highly recommend Galatoires for a wedding event of any kind!

We held our 100 person wedding reception on April 22nd at the Balcony Room of Galatoire's. The food and service were the quality you expect from one of the best restaurant's in New Orleans. The planning process was easy, and I loved having not to worry about a thing the day of our wedding. My guests loved the experience, and an added bonus was being able to throw beads, and interact with the crowd on Bourbon Street. I would highly recommend for your event!

We hosted our son's Rehearsal Dinner at Galatoire's. Since we are from out-of-state, there was some initial anxiety. However, the communication and coordination with Kelsey, the Banquet Sales Manager, was excellent. Kelsey went over and beyond by also assisting us with other vendors for various events, some of which had nothing to do with the dinner.
Prior to our event, staff was available to meet us, help us unload all of our décor, review information with us, and test out the AV system.
At the dinner, the staff had set up our décor exactly as we had requested. The food was outstanding, and the service was impeccable. Guests had many nice compliments, and said the venue was perfect for the occasion. Thank you, Galatoire's, for making this event so memorable.

We reserved the Iberville Room for our small 25 person wedding and everything was great! The event planners are very organized and responded quickly to any questions I had. When we showed up after the ceremony everything went seamlessly! I didn't have to think about a thing!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
