New Orleans and Company knows how to roll out the red carpet for events. More than that, they know how to build relationships that matter and enhance the experience for all the participants. The ELCA Youth Gathering was a giant success due to the work of Allison and Rachel with New Orleans and Company. They welcomed us with open arms and worked their magic behind the scenes to ensure a wonderful event for our 15,000 high school students. They celebrated our successes and problem solved our challenges. Our team leaders love New Orleans for all the obvious reasons – food, culture, music, and more. I love New Orleans for the way the people of this city welcome the stranger. We aren’t strangers anymore! New Orleans is truly a city Built To Host.

What sets New Orleans & Company apart is their unique ability to connect both the community and their clients. They seamlessly bridged our needs with the best local resources, helping us create an event that was not only successful but also deeply rooted in the vibrant culture of New Orleans. Their extensive network and strong community ties enabled us to access the finest venues, services, and experiences the city has to offer.

New Orleans & Company truly lives up to their reputation. They are the epitome of hospitality and professionalism, and their passion for showcasing the best of New Orleans is palpable. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication. If you're looking for a partner who is committed, connected, and truly "built to host," look no further than New Orleans!

Our Society held its annual conference in New Orleans in April 2024.  First, let me say that our New Orleans & Company contact, Libby Fein, is absolutely the best!  She was so welcoming and helpful during both our site visit and conference.  The New Orleans & Company team is wonderful too, and our staff says thank you!  I’ve never worked with a Convention and Visitors Bureau like this, and it was a great experience!

We had just over 1,000 attendees at our conference, and everyone loved how we incorporated bits of New Orleans culture into it, thought the food, second line, etc.  Our attendees had all positive comments about the city, activities, hotel and staff.  I just wish I had more time to see more of it!

Thank you again for all your efforts to make our attendees feel welcomed, at home and excited about the city of New Orleans!”

It is with utmost enthusiasm I relay my recent experience with New Orleans & Company.  From our first meeting in July, to the final globally televised Miss Universe event in January, the team at New Orleans & Company consistently proved themselves to be great partners.  Together, we worked to ensure the best possible experience for our staff, crew and the delegations who traveled from around the world to attend the pageant.  For our field production team, when they hit a roadblock or needed creative input, New Orleans & Company stepped in to assist and help pave the way for a smooth production.  Additionally, we were able to access their strong ties to the New Orleans community and the state of Louisiana to maximize the two week period leading up to the event.  They were all generous with their time and guidance.  I have produced Miss Universe events in many countries and cities over the last twenty years and I can say without hesitation, the working relationship with New Orleans & Company was one of the most positive I have ever experienced.
