Petroleum Club of Lafayette Reviews

The venue changed all the original options from when we signed the contract. Choices became very limited and we were not informed prior to our date. Morning of event, room was not set up although we were charged a $1000 room set up fee. Linens were dirty, floors were dirty, we had to have tables removed, and added. The food that we did order was good, although I was told seafood gumbo was bland. Drinks were not good, as the alcohol brand options weren’t great. “Bottled water” became a water station. We were basically rushed out at 11pm with cleaners all around us and venue workers rushing me to remove items. I missed seeing my daughter leave. Do not recommend the venue for weddings. They would probably be fine for less important events. All in all, not worth the price we paid.

A nightmare. No communication between the event coordinator and the staff that is actually present for the event. Most things spelled out in our contract were missing. Problems were blamed on a new manager, who was still left in charge of our wedding. After initial contact to discuss all of the problems that occurred, starting with the rehearsal, staff did not return calls or emails. Avoid at all costs!

We had our ceremony and reception here and it was all absolutely beautiful. Everyone said our ceremony was very romantic and the layout of the reception rooms made for comfortable guests. I’ve been to plenty of weddings where I had to stand the whole time because there was purposely not enough seating. Petroleum Club was not the case. The lounge is so cozy. Highly recommend!

Absolutely horrible venue. Denise the coordinator made the planning extremely stressful from the beginning. Every time I met with her, she would have the incorrect information even though she had entered it into the computer. The day before the wedding, we were allowed to decorate the reception room, which was also not ready. They didn’t even know how many tables and what kind we had requested. Even though we told Denise at least 5 times what we needed. Then the day of the wedding was a nightmare. Denise fought with my DJ over the timing of serving the buffet, which we let her do as she wished. She said the salads would already be placed at the tables before the guests would be seated. They were not. The owner of petroleum club then proceeded to get into an argument with my DJ over the timing of serving the food/ salads. Denise had also promised that the bride and groom would have the first meal in the stairwell. After the ceremony, my husband and I went to the stairwell and saw that nothing was there. We then wasted time looking for the food which ended up upstairs. This caused our photographer to miss our first meal because she could not find us. They were also supposed to pack a picnic basket in our going away vehicle but they did not. Extremely disappointed in this venue especially Denise, who cannot organize anything.

Beautiful venue!!! Very accommodating and Mrs. Denise, the Events Coordinator, made it very easy to plan my daughter's wedding reception there. First class all the way! So pretty, we just added floral arrangements in the grand ballroom and a few things in the lobby. Mr. John was also very nice to work with. Very informative and both he and Mrs. Denise answered all questions perfectfly. My daughter and her new husband were served a sampling of food upon their arrival to the venue in the Bride's Room with their favorite adult beverage before being introduced to the guests. Food was awesome. Bartenders very pleasant as was all of the wait staff. Very accommodating to all of our needs. Packed up the cake server and toasting glasses after used the night of the reception for us. Also packed up the food we had. making it very easy for transport. Without any reservations, I would highly recommend this as a wedding reception venue. Not only is it very pretty, but was stress free to work with Mrs. Denise and Mr. John. Very satisfied is an understatement!! Guests very complimentary as well.

Denise, the events coordinator, and all of the staff were great to work with. Highly recommend the Petroleum Club of Lafayette. Very nice place, great food, and reasonable prices considering that you can become a trail member and use the facilities without a room charge. Not many places that we found only charge for food and drinks.

Overall, I had a great experience. We had a small problem with pricing towards the end, but it was an overlooked error on their part. The food and the servers were awesome. Everyone on the staff made sure that I every need was met. The ballroom was big enough to hold all of my guests and the additional things I wanted ( i.e. photo booth, candy station). My lady in waiting, Mable, did an amazing job by consistently checking on me and doing anything I asked of her. She was on my side from the time I got dressed until the reception ended. Everything was beautiful, and I would definitely consider having other events here. The pricing is worth everything this establishment provides for your special day. I got the second package 39.50 per head, but it's worth it. By the end of the night, my extra food was packed, our lovers basket was to die for, and I was beyond satisfied with my venue choice.

At first, there were some communication problems between the coordinator and myself. This caused some stress but in the end the service was exceptional the day of and the staff was wonderful even with hard-to-deal-with guesets. At the end they wrote me a thank you note and gave me a picnic basket and commemorative painting by a local artist of the petroleum club. My parents liked it so much they bought a membership.
