Reception Venue: Broussards or Arnauds?

dandywarhol

We are having a small destination wedding in NOLA in December 2010.  We're having our ceremony in the courtyard at Hotel Provincial.  We're torn between Broussards and Arnauds for our reception.  Their prices are comparable.  The rooms are comparable too.  We're looking at the Creole Cottage Room at Arnauds or the Josephine Room at Broussards.  At Arnauds the cocktail reception and dinner would be in the same room.  At Broussards the cocktail reception would be in their courtyard and the wedding in a separate room. 

Help!

I had my small destination wedding reception at Arnauds and I loved it! I worked with Caroline and she was really great to work with. Very responsive and helpful. Feel free to email me if you have any questions: laurengualdoni@gmail.com

Thanks for your input.  We've been working with Meghan but met with Caroline when we did a site visit.  We really liked both venues.  Each had its pluses and minuses - Arnaud's won't guarantee the room w/o a minimum, Broussards charges for cake cutting. 

*sigh*  It is difficult to make a decision when both places have gotten such great reviews.  I guess on the upside, you can't go wrong - but I'm uncertain about the unknown and what I may not know or be thinking of.  Ugh!!

I had my wedding reception at Broussard's in the courtyard and it was AMAZING!!
