“Our wedding and reception were both held at the Louisiana Exhibit in the Cajun Ballroom on December 26th. Our ceremony was outside on the deck over the alligator exhibit, we added patio string lights and lighted paper lanterns and the result was BEAUTIFUL. The food was AMAZING and we felt that the food and bar was a great value for our large wedding.”

“Worth every penny! We looked at numerous venues throughout the city, but this one took our breath away. The Tea Room itself is magnificent architecturally and in its decor. We had our ceremony right outside in the garden under a clear tent with chandeliers and the tent flaps open, so we could see the gorgeous live oaks and nature surrounding us.”
