Boat Wedding Venues in New Orleans

I chose the Steamboat Natchez for my wedding reception. I did not rent out a room on the boat because I had a small wedding of 14 people. Instead, I did a jazz brunch cruise and they arranged a whole table for my guests. It was budget friendly as they had group rates. Customer service worked with me and was especially helpful when I had to adjust the size of my party. They refunded me money without any hassle, and even checked to make sure they had the right size the few days before they could not refund me anymore. The food was decent for a buffet. There was plenty of food and my guests seemed satisified with the selection that was available. Beware the Cajun Bloody Mary drink. They are spicy and one guest bought it without knowing it. The music was very good and they had a live band playing. I had my first dance in front of the band and they announced my wedding afterwards. It made me feel very special. The view from the boat is beautiful and if they give a tour during the cruise if you care to listen. It is very informative. The music and the tour was not too loud, so you could carry on a conversation. The photographer wanted to get with me and the groom to take a picture somewhere on the ship, but she never did, so we ended up purchasing the picture of us they take right before you board. I wish she got to us in time for that picture. The boat and scenery would have been beautiful. Overall, I think it was a very memorable time and everyone seemed to have fun. They told me it was a very unique reception.
