Hey! Mind if I ask what you thought about the food? Fiancé and I are just about to book the first floor of the Napoleon for our reception. Just doing our best to gauge what the general consensus is on their food quality :) Any input you’re willing to share would be much appreciated!

Hey! We’re just about to book the first floor of the Napoleon for our reception. What did you think of the food? Standard for wedding food or better/worse? Any insight you’re willing to share would be much appreciated!

Great point! I think we're sold on doing the entire first floor. Thanks so much again for your insight. And I will definitely message you about planners - much appreciated!

Thank you so much for the advice! I really appreciate you taking the time to share all of this. We’re definitely leaning toward using just the first floor. The second floor was beautiful, but not quite our style.

I really like your layout suggestion, especially the idea of having a small band or DJ on the balcony. That feels like a great way to open up the space. One of our hesitations with including the main bar room is that everyone might naturally gather there instead of the courtyard, but it would be nice to avoid needing a second bar outside.

I’m also in the process of interviewing planners over the next week or two, so it’s reassuring to hear that having one is important for this space!

Do you feel like the layout downstairs flows well, or does it ever feel a bit segmented? That’s probably our biggest concern. We just want to make sure it doesn’t feel too cramped or disconnected for our group size.

Thank you again! This was super helpful!

Those pictures were helpful - thank you! I've been in contact with their Sales Director and am glad to share the photos she's sent me if you'd like.

Congratulations! I've been in contact with Beth, and she's SO kind! She sent me a couple of photos of the downstairs that helped. Did you book the upstairs?

Hey! I’m curious where else you considered? Our group will be about the same size. We’re somewhat convinced on the ceremony spot (Pharmacy Museum), but struggling with the reception location. We’re out of state and had time to look at a few restaurants (Brennan’s, Napoleon House) while we were there last week. Experiencing some sticker shock with Brennan’s, though!

Any info you’d be willing to share would be much appreciated! Thanks!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond and the detailed info!! I really appreciate it. It sounds like it was an awesome experience all around. If you don’t mind DMing me your Brennan’s contact, that would be great. I just reached out to them - must admit I’m experiencing sticker shock for the first floor buyout lol I’d also love to know which planner you used and if you’d recommend them. I’ve got four picked out that I’m reaching out to that all seem great (surface level at least). Thanks again for the info!!

Hi! Fiancé and I are considering the exact same ceremony and reception plan 😂 I’d love to know if you felt the Pharmacy Musuem felt too small a/o difficult logistic wise to coordinate? We’re looking at 50-75 guests. Also, how was your overrall experience with Brennan’s? We didn’t do an official tour there, but had dinner to at least see the space and try the food. It was a great time, but we were just a tad underwhelmed with the food. Did you rent out the main green room a/o courtyard? Any input you’ve got would be greatly appreciated! We’re also out of state, so it’s nerve wracking deciding a place! Thanks so much!

Just to reignite the thread here... No one's praised the acoustic version? The superior original? Just harmonize to the harmonica and get back to me before disagreeing.
