“There is nothing I would change about my wedding. Shanna was easy to communicate with, accommodating to our questions/needs, and a calming presence during a hectic season. The venue itself is beautiful and uniquely structured, making for a spacious event space that still feels intimate. There was also plenty of room for our guitarist, DJ, and photo booth. Since Bayou Bluegrass Catering manages the Round Barn, they also take care of tableware, food, and beverage. This was ideal for us so we had to make less decisions and focus on other details that were our priorities. I highly recommend using the Round Barn for your next wedding/event.”
“I still cannot get over how GORGEOUS Limestone Hall is. Not only are the outside and inside beautiful, the location is perfect for out-of-town guests as it is walkable from multiple hotels. Dana, our venue contact, was absolutely amazing. She was always prompt in her responses, answered all of our questions, let us tour the venue multiple times, and was incredibly helpful during the whole process.”
“We had our rehearsal dinner at copper roux this month! This was the most stress free part of wedding planning. Linens, set up, staff, and tear down were all included in one price. The staff was friendly and everyone was a pleasure to work with. I really enjoyed the feature of having TV’s and a projector to show a slideshow of some of our pictures during the rehearsal. They helped us create a bar menu that was perfect and worked with our budget. All around – fantastic! I was a little nervous about how the food would taste since it was mainly fried chicken but it was actually incredible and we got a ton of compliments on the menu and the set up.”
