"My wife and I recently got married in New Orleans, a destination wedding for ourselves and all of our wedding guests. Our wedding venue was booked until 10:30 pm, but we're the kind of people that knew we would want to keep the party going well into the night, so we needed to find a good after-party spot.
We reached out to a bunch of places on Bourbon Street but were looking for something very specific. We wanted to have a spot with a balcony so our guests could rain down beads on Bourbon Street. We wanted our own private space for around 50 people, we wanted someplace that could hook us up with an open bar, and we wanted to be able to play some of our favorite drinking games.
When we first reached out, Sharon contacted us back immediately. She was incredibly responsive and helpful while we described what we were looking for in the afterparty and how much we were willing to spend. She gave us lots of suggestions to keep things in our budget, but still giving our guests the great time we were looking for. She ended up recommending a balcony for us which easily held our 50 guests, had a balcony, had a private bathroom and came with security to make sure only our guests got into the space.
The day before our wedding my wife and I walked over to drop off some of the supplies for games we wanted to have setup at our afterparty. Sharon and Burke showed us the space and we talked through how we wanted it set up with them the next night. They were both super helpful and told us to rest easy, they'd take care of everything from this point.
After the wedding our crew headed over to the venue, where we got escorted up to the balcony. The security guard, Larry, (a burly man that no one should try to cross!) hooked us all up with wristbands so we could come and go as we pleased. Larry was awesome and made sure there were no intruders into our space during the night.
Burke had listened to our requests and had the place setup exactly how we explained it. He even had solo cups setup and ready to go for us. Burke came through at various points in the night and made sure that things were going smoothly for us and that we were all having a great time.
Our bartender for the night was Marcy, and she slayed it. The drinks kept flowing from the moment we got there. She was fast to take orders and fast to hand them out, which is unusual for an open bar! She was a true gem for us and she made sure the party kept going.
Sharon, thanks for everything. You crushed it for us, we can't wait to come back and party with you again."
