We love this place! We’ve held several fundraising galas to help Hispanic children in our community. Magnolia Weddings and Events has always treated us incredibly well. The venue has a spacious dance floor where guests can enjoy the music and dance; the decor is elegant, and you don’t need to decorate the space yourself. It also has its own parking lot and DJ. Food: The appetizers are excellent in taste, quantity, and quality. The buffet is available for a long time. Service: The administrative staff and the young people who serve us at the parties are professional and take good care of our guests. Cost: The prices are fair for everything included in their services. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

I recently had my wedding and reception at Magnolia Weddings and Events and it was absolutely beautiful. We had so many guests tell us how perfect and convenient Magnolia n was for a New orleans wedding wedding. Walking into the facility the first time was magical. You immediately just knew it was going to be perfect. I read many reviews before visiting and they were all right on the mark. Wonderful people and incredible food and service. We never felt rushed and everything flowed effortlessly. Every time you turned around there was a server with trays of incredible food coming around. The buffet table and food displays looked like it was straight out of a magazine! Plenty of bartenders and never a line despite the fact we had 400 people. It was a really well oiled machine with personal attention showered on the wedding party and our families. It was a dream experience and they truly took care of everything. Their all inclusive wedding package covered things I did not even think about. They really handled the smallest of details. Scott, Colette and Sue and their staff were more like my best friends. They made you smile every time you saw them. It was just so re assuring. Every time we go through our wedding album and see Magnolia Plantation's photo backdrops we realize just how much attention to detail they put into their facility. They created a glorious memory that we will never forget.

We had our wedding here three weeks ago. The pictures are beautiful but do not do justice for what it truly looks like. Thank you for all of your help making our day be so special. Special thanks to Dionne and her crew. We will always remember this place. Our family had a great time. The food, the dj. Shout out to Matt and his team. Everyone is still talking about how beautiful and what a wonderful time that they had.

I can't say enough about this venue. First, I stumbled after leaving another venue and I must say this location is a hidden gem. We were very impressed with the service. From beginning to end, Miss Dionne took very good care of us and satisfied all of our needs. She is very patient, knowledgeable, exuded great communication, and overall her professionalism was outstanding. She treated us as if we were family. There wasn't any hidden agendas or unspoken information. Everything went as she explained and we were ever so grateful. My guests are STILL talking about how much they enjoyed the music, how beautiful the wedding was, how spacious the venue was, and how GREAT the food was. I keep hearing that the guests were so full from passed hors d'oeuvres there wasn't a need for the buffet. Miss Dee and Megan were awesome. I really didn't need to make a move, because Miss Dee had me covered. Megan is such a sweetheart. Beautiful smile and just an all around genuinely professional young lady.
