    Royalty (Royal Wedding)

    This venue is one of a kind. Mike, Jay and Vanessa are so considerate and professional. They explained everything from beginning to end and we received everything we asked for plus more. The service here is like no other, they made my royal wedding come to life. I could not be a happier bride. Highly highly recommend. Everything looked and tasted exquisite. Wish we can redo this date 11/06/2022

    Best venue

    There’s absolutely no venue like the Balcony Ballroom. It’s breathtaking from the moment you arrive to the building. The food, the staff, the location. Everything was just beyond perfect. Our wedding was much easier for me and my wife thanks to the Balcony Ballroom!!

    KELVIN!!! Y’all are so awesome!! THANK YOU for choosing us. What an honor it was to serve you!! 💙💙💙

    I cannot possibly say enough great things about this venue! What's even better than the amazing food, atmosphere, DJ and drinks are the people that work there. They took care of us all night long and were so attentive to the details that I didn't have to worry about a thing. They made sure our parents were taken care of too which meant a lot. This is really the BEST venue in the entire New Orleans area. Thanks Vanessa, Mike, Jay and Johnny for a wedding we'll never forget.

    My wedding was 10/22/17 and thanks to the staff at the Balcony Ballroom it was the best day ever! Vanessa was awesome and I will never forget her. The food was delicious. Everything was exactly how I expected it to be. I would recommend the Balcony to anyone in need of a venue for their wedding day.

    I just had my wedding here on Sunday. This venue was amazing. Everything from the beginning was impeccable. I was planning from out of town and every email I sent was responded to in a timely manner. I had millions of questions which were answered with no issue. The day of the wedding was coordinated and down perfectly I worried about nothing. The venue made sure my husband and I were well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this venue to anybody. It is affordable and an experience like you wouldn't believe!!!

    The Balcony Ballroom's reply:

    Veronica!!! I am not surprised that only a few days after your wedding, you take the time to write a review....you are always super thoughtful. Thank you so much for choosing us....you and Devry are such wonderful people, it was an honor to serve you that day. Take care in CT!!

    Best value for a New Orleans wedding! Fantastic food, Fabulous service, Beautiful venue!
    Love that they hide the newlyweds away upstairs for some privacy and to actually eat before they get inundated with wedding guests and dancing. Wouldn't think to celebrate anywhere else!

    The Balcony Ballroom's reply:

    Thanks for the great review!!! Very sweet for you to take the time;) And I'm glad you enjoyed yourself at the event!!

    We were married in 2004 and our reception was at the Balcony. Nothing short of impeccable!!! The staff were very professional and extremely nice!!! I have never been to a wedding with good food until my own!!! The food was superb and everyone of my guests raved about it!!! My reception was so nice that I STILL have guests begging me to renew my vows just so that I can have another reception there!!! When my dad made the statement, "this is the best money I've ever spent", I knew that we had made the BEST choice!!! I'm looking for a reason to have another event here!!! Thank you for making my day all that I dreamed of!!!

    The Balcony Ballroom's reply:

    YES!!!! We love that people are still talking about your event from 2004!!!! Should we start planning that vow renewal?!?!? Congrats on your 11 year anniversary!

    I would like to thank the ENTIRE staff at The Balcony! Absolutely everything was amazing and perfect. I knew from the day my sister had her reception here 9 years ago that when the time came, i wanted the same! Everyone that came to our wedding is still talking about how fun it was, how nice the people were, how the food and drinks were the BEST they've ever had at a wedding! I couldn't agree more. The menu is an "all the time" menu, meaning they always serve the same foods! They are all delicious! The in house DJ played a variety of music that suited everyone's taste. The staff, what can I say, they make this place the fabulous place it is. They are there every step of the way throughout the night. We were told by staff "we've been doing this for years, and we've perfected this." They exceeded the expectations I had in mind for my wedding. My now husband was reluctant to having a huge wedding, but thanks to the wonderful people who helped us, he had the best night ever! We had both our ceremony and reception here. The turnover time was super fast! I remember walking back down the aisle and making it up the stairs, only to turn around and see the tables and chairs set up for the reception! Thank you to all who were involved in making my wedding night one of the best nights of my life! Thank you for the generosity you gave to my entire party. Thank you for absolutely EVERYTHING! To those hesitant about booking The Balcony, DON'T BE! This place will make all your dreams come true!

    Mrs. Carter, you are the SWEETEST for writing this review;) Hope y'all are well.....1st anniversary around the corner!!! Enjoy it!! xoxo Balcony Ballroom

    First I love Vanessa, she it's the greatest planet ever. The staff is very accommodating. If you can conceive it, The Balcony can achieve it. The event was flawless. We had a hiccup or two and out was recovered in an instant and unless you were on the inside you would not have known. Our wedding was priceless. The food was awesome and plentiful. Our guest called out the wedding of the year, beautiful, gorgeous, and amazing. We hardly did anything. It was all thanks to the balcony. The venue is elegant.

    The Balcony Ballroom's reply:

    Henry, my ambassador.....It is I that needs to be thanking you. You and your bride are the loveliest. Period. One more thing, my sweet, as part of my job. You anniversary date is March 1, 2015......not the 2nd;) You better get that straight!!!! XOXOThe Balcony Ballroom

    Vanessa and Mike are wonderful. They made sure everything ran perfectly and that I truly had a fairy tale wedding. The food, service, and drinks were amazing!!! The music was wonderful and the dance floor was always packed! I could not ask for a better venue for my story book wedding! People are still talking about it 4 months later!

    The balcony made our wedding planning so much easier for me! They took care of everything for the reception! No wedding planner was needed! They have perfect center pieces, tons of table clothes for you to choose from, beautiful lighting system, and so much more. They were at our service every second of the night we needed them but we're not annoying at all! They had special photos they made happen that we're amazing! Mike, the general manager, was there to help us with any little thing that we needed! He was amazing and fulfilled every request big or small! He was very attentive and we couldn't of asked for anything more. The whole staff were so sweet and accommodating! Everything we had discussed with them from small to big requests was met! They set up everything we gave them perfectly and made special touches to make it look even more amazing then I could of dreamt of! It's definitely the premier wedding spot! They have so many new features that they are always growing and making their facility that much better! The Balcony is by far the best place to have your wedding, reception, or special events in the city!

    The Balcony Ballroom's reply:

    Christy and Mark! So good to hear from you both! We still remember your adorable moment missing the bite of cake at the cake table haha! Thank you SO SO much for taking the time to write such a detailed and heartfelt review! We so appreciate you mentioning our staff! Sending love and well wishes from The Balcony Ballroom!

    The Balcony is an amazing venue! For our wedding day, my husband and I wanted a place that would take care of everything. From the preparation of the ceremony to the details of the reception, The Balcony was so detailed oriented and focused on making everyone (bridal party and guests) happy. The food was amazing and was ever-flowing. Months after our wedding, guests are still complimenting the beauty of our wedding, but most of the praise goes to The Balcony.

    The Balcony Ballroom's reply:

    Deahn! Thank you so much for this sweet review!!! We so appreciate you giving us the credit but being able to work with such a fun loving couple such as you and Matthew makes it all the more worthwhile! Sending love and well wishes from The Balcony Ballroom!

    The Balcony gave me the wedding of my dreams. If you attend a wedding here go hungry because the food is endless and the best food I have ever ate. Everyone that worked there made my night perfect. Everyone commented how great my wedding was and I agree. They made sure that I ate a lot of food, always had something to drink, and had lots of fun!! This is definitely the place to have a wedding!!

    The Balcony has been my dream venue since I was a little girl. My parents had their wedding reception there over 25 years ago, so I was super excited to have mine there as well. The people there are awesome! They know their stuff, as they have been in the business for a LONG time. I didn't have an outside wedding coordinator, but I didn't need one with The Balcony staff. I was so busy trying to talk to all my family and friends, so it was easy to lose track of time, but they helped me stay on schedule to do all the traditional things (cake pulls, bouquet/garter toss, 2nd line, money dance, etc). My groom and I had an attendant all to ourselves. He was always right there to bring us a fresh drink and also made sure we sat down for a few minutes to eat (and he brought us exactly whatever we wanted). Everyone keeps raving about how beautiful the venue is. I loved that I didn't have to choose anything; it was all there for me: table centerpieces, chair covers, decorations/flowers throughout the room, etc. There was so much food and my guests still call me saying how good it was. In addition to the stations along the walls, there were servers passing around food constantly. Everyone said they ate til they couldn't eat anymore. (My only regret was that I didn't eat more! I only had a small sample because I was too caught up with all the festivities.) I can't say enough good things about The Balcony!! Love it :)

    Wow!!! What a beautiful, heartfelt review!
