Private Dinners

Thank you very much for the wonderful dinner party that we enjoyed .. the mansion was exquisitely elegant, and the entire affair was well planned and executed. Your preparation and experience certainly showed with the results. Our guests were very impressed, and all had an excellent time. It will be a difficult task to equal the event at our dinner next year.

Thank you for the excellent dinner that you hosted for us at the Elms Mansion. My multi-national group loved your catfish dinner as well as the history lesson that both your tour and the antebellum-era greeters gave us. The next time we come to New Orleans, we will be certain to put your venue on the top of our list.

We would like to thank you and your staff for the outstanding service we received during our recent function at the mansion. The food was only outdone by beauty and elegance of the mansion itself. Our memories of New Orleans will be fond ones … and the highlight of the trip was the dinner at your mansion.

I just wanted to say thank you for all your assistance with our dinner at the Elms Mansion during this year's convention. The evening was perfect. Our guests were more than pleased, from the time they were greeted by the banjo player at the door to the after-dinner cordials and cigars out in the garden. Not only was the mansion itself beautiful, but the meal prepared by Faith Elms and her staff was absolute perfection and their service was outstanding. Your assistance with all the many many details that made our dinner a truly special occasion is much appreciated.
