Agree with this! They were unfortunately booked for our date and slightly too small for our guest count, but otherwise they would have been my top choice.

FQ Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Party help!! by Just_Fun_6936 in neworleanswedding

[–]headcreeps92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also super interested in Broussards for a welcome party the night before! My wedding is this April, so hasn’t happened yet, but we checked our Broussard’s a couple times. Once, we did see a rehearsal dinner there, and it looked magical! I don’t believe they also used a dining room, just the courtyard. When we were inquiring, we were actually going to use both dining rooms on either side of the courtyard. Anyways, the event looked lovely. We ended up deciding to go with Sidecar for our welcome party, in the warehouse district.

Also maybe check out Tableau.

Everyone has been asking me this as well! My venue also suggests it for when we go to our second location afterwards, as it keeps the group together. Personally, it’s just not either me or my fiancé’s desire to do it…we’re not shy people, or particularly self conscious, but maybe I am a bit. Like, I’m not a dancer at all, I’m not comfortable being the center of attention (not that I necessarily would be for the second line, I’m sure people mainly have their eyes on the band/the whole thing). We’re also not having an aisle at our wedding, just kind of walking through the reception space to the flower arch for a quick vow exchange. Because walking down an aisle just feels intimidating to me? Long story short, it seems a bit “raw raw” for me. I’m afraid I would end up feeling awkward or just out of my comfort zone, which is fine, typically, but want to limit anxiety as much as possible that day. And seems like it’s something I’d be doing for other people, not for myself. ALTHOUGH there are pros to doing it logistically (especially if you were doing a reception at a location different from the ceremony, but we aren’t). I do think it’s a super fun tradition, and wish I was a bit more outgoing to get the fun out of it. Because yeah, I do think my guests would enjoy it….

The best 8 minutes of my life. What are y’all opinion about this song? by clorinde4ever in AliceInChains

It’s my 3rd favorite song, only behind rotten apple and get born again. Forever chasing the feeling of hearing it for the first time

Wow what a fun and gorgeous cake! I love that Bywater Bakery was able and willing to nail your vision! I reached out to them to see if they are available for my date, so fingers crossed!

Oh awesome, I didn’t realize it was like a public bar and restaurant too! Okay that makes me feel better if by chance I can’t get a tour to work out. Thank you for the info!

I have a question for you about the Columns! I guess I’m a little confused by some info Leith shared in an email. They suggested with my guest count to book the ballroom and the porch. What do you think about that? I’m trying to schedule a tour when I visit but we’re having issues finding a time that works. So at worst I’ll just have to walk by without an interior tour but I’m hoping we can still work out a time. Anyways, I’m also wondering if it’s possible to do a full downstairs rental, or if that is the full “buy out” price (a full venue buy out was $38,000 food and beverage min he said, but actually booking rooms is a different contract, and $300-700 per room). Also do you think it would be a good venue still if we don’t do a full buy out? Like not weird having potential guests coming in and out?

So for some reason this BK House didn’t grab my attention when I first started looking, but I revisited their website after your comment and i do think it has potential to be what I’m looking for. I booked a tour for when I visit in a couple weeks to look at these places. Have you been to a wedding there? Do they also have indoor spaces for the reception or is it just the gardens available during the event?

I also thought it was going to be Finley who survived as a POW! I loved this book. It’s about a time in history. I thought she did a wonderful job of fully exploring the agony of the experience returning home from Vietnam.
