I've lived in Metairie all of my life and have experienced The Balcony on many different levels. I have been a guest there on many occasions, my brother was married at The Balcony, I've stood in weddings there, and as a wedding photographer of 28 years I've photographed a minimum of 200 weddings at The Balcony. The Balcony is always flexible with the vendors and the couple as to the flow of the reception schedule. It must be a great place to work as much of the staff has stayed the same over many years. They have always been friendly, accomodating, and attentive to the Bride & Groom and their families. The owner is always available. I've seen him out there assisting the families, helping with the cake cutting, heck, I've seen him bus tables. You could say that he manages from the floor. The Balcony has been and remains a top notch wedding/party venue.
