I want to express my thanks to you and your staff for a party that was clearly the talk of the convention. As you said, the mansion clearly speaks for itself. Thank you for all of your assistance in coordinating this event.

Repeat customers can be your best advertisers and I can certainly attest to that. ..I held many functions at your home and every time it gets better and better. I feel very fortunate to have taken a new group to The Elms, all of whom have expressed what a delightful and enjoyable evening they experienced...

I have to smile every time I think of the wonderful Southern Hospitality you and your team exhibited during our recent conference. Our guests really enjoyed their day at your home. You made them feel so welcomed and so comfortable .. we're going to have a difficult time trying to match this experience at our next conference.. your home is beautiful, your style impeccable, your presentation stunning, and your cooking -- absolutely delicious! Thank you for providing an incredible backdrop for our meeting!

I don't know how to begin to thank you for the wonderful job you and your staff did for the Intel Corporate Advisory Board members ... they all had such a lovely time. I am still getting great feedback from everyone. The Corporate Advisory Board attendees ..are all very senior level executives with discriminating tastes who travel frequently and aren't easily impressed. They were blown away! I can truly say that the event was the highlight of the entire program. Every aspect of the evening was perfect. The staff was very cordial and the attendees loved hearing about the history of the house. The food was outstanding! I will absolutely recommend you to anyone doing business in New Orleans...

Thank you - the food was fabulous and gave our guests (and us) a real taste of New Orleans... the house is beautiful -- thanks again!

I don't know how to thank you enough for providing the most exquisite setting for a cocktail party. This was by far the most successful party I have been responsible for arranging. I find myself depending on outside individuals like yourselves ... all arrangements were made over the phone and I was unable to actually view the Elms Mansion until the day before our function -- it is without a doubt the most beautiful home I've ever been in. Hors d'oeuvres are sometimes unexciting and uninviting -- that certainly wasn't the case here. My mouth is still watering ... I hope this adequately expresses how grateful I am to both of you for making this year's cocktail party a smashing success!

Without a doubt, the Christmas party our organization held at "The Elms" was the best we have ever had. Your staff certainly did their job way above and beyond the call of duty .. so much, that our members have already stated that they would like to return.

WOW!!! What a wonderful time we had at the reception! Based on what we discussed, I expected a successful event. Well, let me say this: those expectations were exceeded ten-fold! We have had similar receptions in many different cities and in many 5-star facilities. Without a doubt, you and your staff are at the top of the chart. Every one of our customers from throughout the country thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Many thanks to you and your staff for helping show our customers what New Orleans hospitality really means.

We also appreciate your taking the time to give tours and to explain the history of the house - everyone felt so comfortable. It was a perfect evening...

I wish to personally thank you for the use of the Elms Mansion for our group ... I have heard nothing but rave reviews of the house, tour and dinner. I am so pleased that we were able to utilize such a gracious setting for this first-night event. It was a wonderful way to welcome the group to the best of New Orleans hospitality.

The evening more than exceeded our expectations. The food was exquisite and the mansion itself is an exceptional venue for customer entertainment. The feeling of luxury in a relaxed environment made it a pleasure to be there... I usually measure our success by the people who stay till the very end ... and our guests just didn't want to leave. I really appreciate the personal attention...

Wow! What can I say -- but thank you for a job well done! You, your staff, and allowing us to utilize your beautiful mansion truly made our final night in New Orleans wonderful!

Let me begin by saying "thank you" for a fabulous and memorable reception and dinner for our board of directors. Our board members come from all over the United States .. they are CEO's of very large and successful companies and travel the world. One of my priorities for the board reception and dinner in New Orleans was to find "the" unique and memorable venue. The Elms outscored on all points. Our directors were thoroughly impressed with the magnificent Mansion, the southern charm of you and your staff, and the special menu you created for this special occasion.

Words seem inadequate when expressing the gratitude I feel for all you did to make our anniversary party a success. The food was excellent and abundant, and the variety was amazing. Your staff was by far the most accommodating group of people I have ever had the pleasure of working with .. constantly seeking to serve in any way possible ... there is nothing I would change about that night ... there is no better measure of success. Most of that success was due to you and your staff ...

The food was delicious and the mansion was decorated beautifully. You and your staff must have worked very hard to achieve such perfection. I can't tell you how many compliments you received, from our guests and from Seitel employees, for a spectacular evening. Everyone was very impressed!

As we reminisce about New Orleans, our evening at Elms Mansion stands as the number one event of our successful conference .. my memory is flooded with the warmth, the sights, the sounds and tastes of that splendid evening. Whenever I am asked by my association colleagues and friends about things to do in New Orleans, a function at Elms is my first suggestion. Thank you for one of those special memories we keep near to our mind's eye.

Thanks so much to all of your staff who contributed to making this such a successful event. We received nothing but compliments from our clients, and it was obvious that everyone really enjoyed themselves ... we were told the party was one of the highlights of the convention...

The party was sensational and so were both of you. Having the privilege to work with truly honest people of the highest professional caliber is what makes my work so enjoyable ... thank you for pulling together a superb event on a mere ten days notice. You made the impossible, possible. All the guests were overwhelmed by the exquisite atmosphere your home provided, and were thrilled with the party. The food music, flowers, setting and all other details of the party were superb. Without people like yourselves who care, successful parties like ours would not happen. I will brag about you and The Elms Mansion to everyone I know!
