My wedding was 1/14/2017
We had about 130 guest.

First the venue was stunning the night of. The lights were beautiful and reception hall amazing. My family has now had 3 daughters married and everyone agreed juliana's was the best wedding venue.

The Bluetooth system for the ceremony and reception was fantastic. No standing speakers or extra equipment!

Mr. Don and the staff went over and above in accommodating us. We had plenty of time to set up and we're able to use the bridal suite all day to get ready. It was very relaxing and nice to have a small little retreat during all the craziness.

Oh and we were offered drinks ect. Thought the day getting ready.

The staff, omg the staff was wonderful. From Juliana to the girl helping me coordinate the day. They were on top of everything, making sure we were where we needed to be, offering assistance and making sure I had drinks and danced :). Along with a Togo plate at the end of the night.
When I was in the suite alone waiting to enter they even had staff come up to open the doors so, you know grand entrance.

Don has been absolutely amazing to work with. Always reachable and acomidating where he could be, we could not have asked for a better owner. (And I have worked with a few venue owners. No where near as friendly as don)

The food! Wow the food was some of the best food I have ever had. We have a lot of cajun french family members who will notice if the food is bad lol. Every single one of them raved about how delicious the food was. The chef was acomidating and hands down the best chef in a wedding venue I have encountered. (Truthfully one of the best chefs in general.)

Worried about clean up? They literally will have all your items stacked on one table at the end of the night ! It was great! There was no family members having to walk around and do this. All we had to do was pack them up. My family said that was the easi
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
