Reviews of Gas Lantern Experiences (Event Planner)

Elizabeth Daino

I have worked with Cate on several events/projects in the past and she is nothing short of wonderful! She is always so on top of logistics and dedicated to making sure her clients have a fun and unique New Orleans experience. Since Cate is so well connected she sets herself apart in the sense that she can plan things for her clients that are different than your typical event, therefore making it special. You will get to see and go places you may not have ever heard of otherwise to give you a more well rounded experience. Definitely hire her. You won't regret it!

New Orleans is *so* much more than Bourbon Street. I'm all about good drinks and great food so during a recent visit to New Orleans I asked Cate from Gas Lantern Experiences to set me up with some local restaurant (and bar) favorites. I was not disappointed! Not only did Cate nail down the exact type of atmosphere and food I was looking for, but she knew the right people! While dining at Meauxbar, with a reservation made by Gas Lantern, we were treated to a sample of a new cocktail they were trying out and a taste of the night's special appetizer! And did I mention how much I loved Bayou Wine Garden? Once again at Cate's suggestion, I visited this cute neighborhood wine bar in mid-city - a truly local bar and restaurant! - and had the most amazing frozen red wine sangria. The only disappointing part about visiting Bayou Wine Garden was that it made me wish that it was football season. There were plenty of TVs around the outdoor bar and patio (not intrusively) and you could tell it would be a great place to watch football without feeling guilty about not spending your Sunday outside. You can do both!! In addition to the great restaurant and bar suggestions, Gas Lantern Experiences set me up with a local tarot card reader and arranged the meeting so that I would be comfortable. I was worried about having a hokie experience and didn't want my tarot cards read in some room with too much incense. Instead, Cate set up my appointment in a quiet townie bar - which totally fit what I was looking for. Gas Lantern really knows the city and all that it can offer individuals. With just a few short conversations with Cate, I was all set up with activities and restaurant reservations that really matched my personal interests and agenda.
