“My husband and I absolutely loved our reception at Palmetto’s. Brittany was our coordinator and she made everything so easy. And if you’re looking for pretty pictures Palmetto’s is the place. Also if you’re worried about the weather, they have air conditioning outside and they can close in the dance floor area if it rains. The food was great too. All of our guests told us how delicious it was. We were too busy to taste it the night of our wedding but Brittany put some of everything and some cake in a to go box for us. It really was great, I suggest it for any couple.”
“If you are looking for a venue with charm, amenities, and an amazing staff, look no further!! Palmettos perfectly embodies the rustic beauty of the bayou with an elegant feel. The Cyprus trees, cafe lights, and gorgeous wooden beamed architecture leaves plenty of decorative options whether you want to go all out or keep it simple. Not to mention the professional and supportive staff of wedding coordinators that help you plan your big day, at no extra charge! The food was fantastic & the open bar option made my guests and myself very happy! My husband and I chose Palmettos because it felt like us. It wasn’t over the top, but that’s what makes it so special. The venue speaks for itself. For the price, the look, the staff, and the package options, the price can’t be beat!”
“I cannot speak highly enough of Palmetto’s. We had our ceremony and reception here and everything was perfect. We got married here in April, which the weather was perfect and the scenery was in full bloom and beautiful. The food at this venue is incredibly delicious, we will be coming back for our anniversaries and date nights for years to come. Brittany, the coordinator, did an incredible job. She was easy to talk to and come up with ideas, she communicated very well and responded quickly when I had questions, and she did a great job of making sure everything came together seamlessly even though we had an separate intrusive wedding coordinator get in her way. Palmetto’s was beautiful and amazing and looks great in our wedding photos too!! I would highly recommend getting married here and having a reception at Palmetto’s on the Bayou.”
“Beautiful venue, great staff and wonderful food! What more can you ask for? Thanks Palmettos for a perfect event!”
“I had my wedding at Palmettos on the Bayou this weekend and from start to finish it was amazing!!! I can’t say enough good things about their in house wedding coordinator Brittany.

The food was delicious and our guests keep complimenting us on our venue choice. Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Thank you Brittany and Palmettos.”
