Erin has been a licensed retail florist since 1983 and has been actively involved in the wedding business since then. In 1986 she opened a retail florist shop which she streamlined into a "wedding/event" only florist in 1993. Since that time she has been involved in all aspects weddings from planning to cutting the cake.
After sleeping 7 hours straight once I got home, I had to write to tell u what a perfect experience we had from everyone involved. We loved the concept and reality of staying in the cottages, we felt so "at home". You all were so accommodating to our every need and desire and, as mother of the bride, I can't thank you enough. it was exactly what we wanted and it went perfectly.

My husband and I couldn't be happier with our wedding at Compass Point. First of all, we couldn't find a better price point for a venue and we were blown away by the fact that the price included wedding coordination, custom decorations, set-up, break-down, and much more. Erin also did our flowers for an unbeatable price and they were gorgeous. At the venue, the first things you'll notice are the big old oak trees, and the pretty historic buildings all around you. The venue comes alive at night with white lights strung all over. Erin was able to offer us decorations of all kinds and she and her

Everything about Compass Point Events is absolute perfection. From the beautiful venue, to the expertise of Erin, Amy and team, to the actual day of the event… flawless. The women at Compass Point are rockstars and they definitely know how to plan and throw a party. They make the process easy and stress free. My wedding was so beautiful thanks to everyone at Compass Point. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue and people to share this experience with.

I don’t think words can express how amazing Compass Point Events is! We had seen a few venues but they either didn’t offer enough amenities for the price or didn’t have the right feel, but the moment I stepped into compass point events I knew that was where I had to get married. It was fairly stress-free and very affordable. I was worried because I was told that wedding planning was stressful however Compass Point Events made it a wonderful experience! The food was fabulous, the staff was amazing, the flowers they arranged for us were beautiful, and they really do put so much love and hard

My daughters wedding here was perfect. The staff here worked so hard to make sure that our families and guest were happy and taken care of. I can not thank Erin and Lou Lou enough for everything that they did and for all of the hard work that put into my daughters wedding. Their catering was on point and the flower arrangements that Erin made we absolutely beautiful. The entire staff were hard working, kind, and extremely attentive to all of our guest. We rented all of the guest houses and loved them all. This is the perfect all inclusive wedding venue!!!

Wow! I cannot recommend Compass Point Events more for your wedding, party, or other special event! We recently got married at the venue and it was absolutely beautiful and Erin and her team made everything so easy and wonderful. The venue is gorgeous, below is one picture from our wedding, but I cannot wait for the professional photos to come back because there were so many beautiful locations for photos. The venue comes with cottages on property that you and your guests can rent - I highly recommend staying in them, our guests loved their charm and convenience. I also have to rave about the food

Absolutely perfect.
I was planning a wedding during covid, hurricane warnings, and rainy season. We decided the last week of September was our best bet. I had about 85 people outside. Tables were socially distant and the venue was Absolutely gorgeous. Erin and Ami were super accommodating and provided the best service to my guest. Im blown away with happiness and the weather held up. The pics don't do it justice but I attached a few for reference

My daughter was married at Compass Point on June 20, 2020. Erin and Amy went out of their way to offer a special and safe wedding by keeping the guests to 10 and spacing out the chairs in their outdoor area. Erin created a bouquet for my daughter that was out of this world. The joy that we experienced by seeing our daughter united with the love of her life was beyond amazing.
I highly recommend this venue for any event. The vibe is both casual and elegant. The property is beautiful and the location embodies all that is special about New Orleans. Beyond those tangible qualities, the most important

This was my second event at Compass Point and I have mixed feelings.
It's an outdoor venue in Algiers very near the river, and as it's January it was a little cool outside. We entered through the gate and walked along the concrete path to the main area. No one from the venue welcomed us or gave us any direction even though there were 2 employees smoking in the street right near the entrance. There are several small buildings located on the perimeter of the yard and then there's a floored area/dance floor. The bar is located outside on an upstairs porch in another building with

Say that the wedding, food and reception were great. The area where I am displeased is with communication. As guests of the wedding, we booked a cottage for the weekend so we could spent time with the brides, family and friends. Unfortunately, the following morning, the brides mother woke us up letting us know that we could no longer stay in the cottage we had booked. We were told by her to move to the brides cottage. The main reason this frustrates me other than having to move from the room my friend had booked and confirmed minutes prior, is
