  Fabulous and best kept secret Uptown. A beautiful ambiance to have dinner on the wrap around porch facing the park's ancient oak trees and sounds of urban wildlife. Very nice menu selections and excellent pairings. Superb service.

  We were married on Nov. 12, 2016 with a small wedding of about 85 people in attendance. From beginning to end, the Audubon Clubhouse Cafe was a joy to work with. Don Byerly, director of the facility, and Jordan Hahn, events manager, were polite, transparent, accommodating, and professional throughout the entire planning process and cognizant of our limited budget. Ms. Hahn picked up the responsibilities of sorting out pricing and details as the event drew closer, and made planning our wedding from out-of-state so much easier by replying promptly to my questions by phone or email, sending cost breakdown sheets, and always being willing to meet with us when we were in the area. She thought of everything from a rain plan for our outdoor reception to providing a timeline for the day of and basically acted as a built-in wedding planner for us. It was much-needed and very much appreciated!
  
  The venue itself is just stunning; surrounded by so much natural beauty and 100-year-old oak trees. Since many of our guests were coming in from out of town, having a place where we could have both the ceremony and the reception was important to us to cut down on the need for transportation. If you want to get the true flavor of New Orleans; this is the place to do it - from the setting to the incredible local food options they provided for us. My husband is gluten free and they were more than willing to accommodate any dietary restriction. Anything we asked for was considered thoughtfully and carefully. Though this venue was a little more expensive than others in our price range, the all-inclusive nature of it made it 100% worth it - food, tables, flatware, linens, setup, breakdown, bar, etc were all included in the cost. For the things that weren't included, such as the wedding and groom's cake and the chairs for the outdoor ceremony, Ms. Hahn made sure to get them ordered for us and orchestrated their delivery and breakdown. The day of, she made sure we got a chance to eat the amazing food by providing a selection of the hors d'oeuvres and salad we had chosen as well as complimentary champagne for us in the bridal suite during our private moment before our first dance. During a tense family moment when there was an issue with a corsage, she magically conjured up another one, nipping the drama in the bud. The entire staff the night of the wedding, from the bartenders to the servers, were wonderfully kind and polite and all our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and even Mr. Byerly, who first introduced us to the facility, made an appearance to make sure all was going well. The fairy lights they recently installed this year on the outdoor patio added the right bit of magic to our outdoor ceremony. For an intimate, meaningful wedding, we couldn't have imagined a more perfect spot.
