Marigny Opera House

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

The Marigny Opera House, alone in its rustic beauty and authentic New Orleans charm, is a special place that values both preservation and progress. A solar-paneled roof shelters newly restored stained glass windows in this decommissioned 1853 German Catholic Church. When you plan an event here, your patronage enables us to continue supporting local artists through our highly successful nonprofit arts programming. We are home to a ballet company, 2-3 weekly music performances, and numerous other culture bearers of New Orleans, from theatre to opera and beyond. You bolster the vibrant arts landscape we have endeavored to offer New Orleans and those who call it home. With your support, you join us in the mission of bringing the arts to all. We hope you bring your event here and give your guests an authentic New Orleans experience unlike any other.

Bill and the team at Marigny Opera House were a breeze to work with! He was very thorough and responsive when we had any questions and his spirit in general was so kind. We wanted a venue with true New Orleans history and beauty, and the MOH provided that no matter if we were out front, inside, or in the courtyard. If you're looking for a venue outside of the Quarter, we HIGHLY recommend. Our guests were very impressed, and we can't wait to return to experience some of their performing arts shows. Thank you MOH!

House of Broel

  • Up to 150 guests
  • All-inclusive

House of Broel was built as a story and a half family dwelling in 1850 in the Garden District of New Orleans. In 1884 the family decided they needed room for weddings and parties so they had the house lifted, making it a two and a half story mansion that we use today for events as they did back centuries ago. The Victorian style makes for the perfect romantic setting for your wedding, as well as the enjoyment of being on historic Saint Charles Avenue with its access to many five star hotels and the Street Car line.

My husband and I are so happy with the balcony. Excellent service, delicious food, yummy drinks. Our wedding was December 2, 2023. Everyone who came to celebrate with us, had wonderful things to say about the Balcony. If you are thinking a place to celebrate your wedding, don’t hesitate! The balcony it is!

Hotel Peter and Paul

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • Up to 350 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $20,000

After decades of rest, the great hall of Sts. Peter & Paul has been lovingly restored with carfeul attention. Built in 1861, every pane of stained glass is infused with history and every brick with stores of days past. The reverberant and resonant hall is located squarely in the Faubourg Marigny, the city's eclectic hub for art, cuisine, and entertainment and only a short walk (or second line) from Frenchmen Street and the French Quarter. The church has served as a haven and gathering place for over a century and a half, and now, we open her doors to you and yours. Access to the space for a ceremony, cocktail hour and reception includes a 4.5 hour event. We also welcome ceremony-only and reception-only events. Our venue is a part of the greater Hotel Peter and Paul, with 71 hotel rooms across three historic buildings, the former schoolhouse, convent and rectory. All are available to rent during your wedding weekend and to keep your guests close by for this momentous occasion.

You can feel the history and romance as soon as you step foot in this venue. It’s elegant and breathtaking. Very little decor needed to make your wedding spectacular. The hotel attached is also a wonderful place to stay and get ready on your wedding day. It was so fun running into guest in the halls. It felt like living in a dorm with all the people you love. The staff and service is excellent and the style is impeccable. Molly the event coordinator was quick to reply and very helpful in having wedding objects shipped to the hotel as we were coming from out of town. It doesn’t hurt that the Elysian bar is serving up some of the best cocktails in New Orleans (meaning some of the best in the world) right across the courtyard. Everything on the wedding day ran seamlessly. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location.

InterContinental New Orleans

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • Up to 500 guests
  • Raw space
  • Starts at $12,500

The InterContinental New Orleans Hotel is located on historic St. Charles Avenue. Our ballroom overlooks the avenue which is where the oldest, longest and continuous running streetcar in the world passes. We are a full-service luxury hotel with 3 very large and impressive bridal suites. Our ballroom can easily accommodate a reception of 400 people or a sit down dinner for 500.

Great venue space for weddings, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, etc. Everything went so smoothly on my wedding day. We rented the ballroom space for the ceremony and the team was able to flip the entire space from ceremony to reception during the secondline. It looked stunning and everything was flawless from beginning to end. We also had all of our guests stay at the hotel on-site for easy logistics and hosted a family brunch the day after on-site as well. Definitely recommend!
