New Orleans Party Center was founded in 1988 by St. Joseph Byzantine Catholic Church with Father Stanley Bartkus as Pastor. The church was originally located on Orleans Avenue in Cleveland and after moving to Brecksville, the party center was named New Orleans Party Center in tribute to the church's original location. We met recently with Hall Manager Janet Petruno and Head Caterer Fran Russo, and listened as they described the elegant dining available at New Orleans Party Center;
New Orleans Party Center is a full-service catering center capable of catering to groups of up to 380 people. We've served not only weddings and anniversaries, but also organizations, businesses, class reunions, and fund raisers. Our home cooked entrées are prepared on premises in our professional-grade kitchen facilities. Our talented catering staff can serve buffet or family style according to your preference. We strive to give every party personal attention from the beginning of the evening to the very end. We're always on-premises to ensure your special occasion is a resounding success.
All of our food is wonderfully delicious, flavorful, hot, and plentiful. When our guests arrive, it's just like coming home. We provide excellent service and our staff includes many members who have been with us for over thirty years. They're very conscious of our guests' needs and desires, and their primary focus is on ensuring everyone is pleased. Our tabletops are elegant and feature china, stemware, and beautiful centerpieces on white linen tablecloths with linen napkins in your choice of color. Weather permitting we have a lighted patio complete with umbrella tables, a fountain, and floral decorations overlooking the dance floor.
We provide the hall, the wait staff, and your complete menu. Our guests are permitted to furnish their own wine and liquor, although we do provide beer and soda pop. If you're hosting a wedding reception or celebrating an anniversary, you may supply your own wedding cake. We're very flexible and realize that everyone has individual preferences. All arrangements for your function are detailed in writing and strictly followed. The prices we quote are always the prices paid, even if booked two years in advance. We don't have any hidden costs or charges, so there are no surprises at the end of the evening.
We still have dates available for functions this year, and we're also booking dates for next year and 2008. Word-of-mouth has been our most successful advertisement as we've had many families and their friends and relatives back for their events.
New Orleans Party Center has built a reputation for affordable elegance for any occasion. Call New Orleans Party Center today, and don't forget to tell them The Advocate sent you!
