We had to get married inside due to the weather but it ended up being so beautiful! Especially with the fire place going and the Christmas’s tree in the background. The club was able to flip the room for the reception so fast and the staff was attentive the entire night! Also, Ashlee the events coordinator at the club is AMAZING! The day was seamless with her hard work!

What Makes Louisiana Wedding Venues Special?
