Testimonials

Oh my, the only thing I can't say about this place is that it was awful, ANYTHING BUT! The venue alone with the chapel in the back is beautiful, but including its owner Mrs. Nat it's beyond phenomenal. I was absolutely terrified coming into the wedding, planning and decorating, but Mrs. Natalie is so amazing that as soon as we met she cleared all of my fears and told me not to worry about decor because it's her forte and boy, she did not disappoint. We had the wedding I never even could have dreamed up and she's one of the biggest reasons why. I'll recommend her and her venue to everyone who asks in the future. Thank you Mrs. Nat for making sure everything was perfect for our special day! ❣️

I picked this venue in May of 2019 when it was nothing more than a vision! I chose it having no idea what it would become nor how attached to the owners I would become! Over the course of the past 17 months, I not only got to watch this gorgeous place come together and blossom; I also got to watch so many beautiful friends/people I know get married there. I cried lots of tears over the last week, but to be honest one of the things I cried hardest about was that I would never get to dance on those floors and that i would never get to follow through on everything Mrs. Natalie and I talked about for what felt like forever. I can never ever thank Mrs. Natalie and her family enough for loving me, consoling me, and allowing me to have the most magical night of my life! The night was nothing like what we planned, it's wasn't staged, the photos aren't posed, but every second of that night was perfect and the one thing that my entire family and SS family made sure of was that Ian and I got our moment in that venue I dreamed of getting married in for so long! I can never encompass into words how much these people mean to me! If you're looking for so much more than just a venue, look no further you've found your place! That big blue building and the people inside of it have a piece of my heart forever! God bless you all; we love you!

Our wedding was this weekend! we booked in november of '21, got married in december of '22 and in this time, mrs natalie has become like family to us! not only is this venue BEAUTIFUL, but mrs natalie who runs it, always has the bride's best intentions at heart and is so kind and personable. the night was PERFECT, and she eliminated soo much stress for us on our journey coming to the big day! not only are the bridal suite and grooms quarters absolutely stunning for everyone to get ready all morning, but between the kids room and the reception space, it couldn't get more beautiful! we saved SO MUCH on decor because southern soiree is so naturally beautiful, you don't need to overload it with stuff to make it feel like a wedding or special event! i can't say enough good things about our experience! i wish i could recommend this with 10 starts out of 5! if you are looking for a place that could check every box you could think of, check this place out, it was a dream working with them! absolutely love everything about this venue! it couldn't have been better!

Mrs. Natalie was a complete delight! She met with me at whatever hours I was available to discuss anything that pertained to my wedding. She suggested bakers and caterers. She decorated my entire venue after my decorator canceled on me. She stayed in touch by phone and in person. She adjusted anything my fiancé or I requested her to. Very professional yet personable. We thank you so much for your kindness, your professionalism, and running some ceremony items down the road to Saint Mary Magdalen. They even stopped what they were doing when my out of town family members popped in to tour the venue. Our wedding was so amazing, greatly in part to Southern Soirées. Thank y'all, a million times!

Megan Broussard

If you don't at least consider this place when looking for a venue, you are truly missing out. When you walk in, you can just see the hard work they have put into it. I thought it was beautiful before the new update but NOW?! It's amazing. Definitely worth checking out. And if the building itself doesn't impress you enough, the staff definitely will. Planning your event with them is setting yourself up for a night of memories you won't ever forget.

Brides, if you are looking for a venue that literally has everything that you will need on your Wedding day, look no further. This venue has everything you can think of, the pictures will not do it justice, you have to book a tour. As a Wedding DJ, I come across every venue in the Acadiana area, Southern Soirées, stands above all. The owners are great and want to create that magical wedding you have always dreamt about!!

We got married here on April 10th 2021. I had so many questions and Ms. Natalie took the time to make sure every single one of them were answered. My wedding was supposed to be outside but of course in April it rains almost every day so Ms. Natalie did everything in her power to adjust everything for inside. They made me feel like the most important person out there on our big day! The hall was absolutely everything and then some and my guests all had an amazing time!

Michelle Duhon

This place is everything and more!! It accommodates the bride with bridal suite, the groom with groom quarters, and even kids with the playroom. It's the perfect place!! AND the owners are the sweetest, most kind people you will ever meet!! <3

Heather Touchet

The owners were AMAZING!! Good people and even better service, flexibility of being able to call and ask any questions we had and actually getting answers was great. We were able to go back time and time again to shoot around different ideas with them. They were able to help us out with a payment options that worked perfect for us. Also the best price in the surrounding areas by far!!! To bad the stars only go up to 5 because I'd give them a 10 for sure. My wife and I will be going back for more functions.

Dylan Nunez

This is truly a amazing event venue, the owner Natalie had a beautiful vision and brought it to life for the people of vermilion parish and surrounding areas. If you have never been to an event at this venue take time and take a private tour and and you will instantly see the beauty thru the owner's work as you walk into the building. Don't pass this venue up on your list, it is worth your time to visit it.

Sandy Vaughn
