Wedding Venues in New Orleans<\/span><\/h2>\n
Historic Mansions and Estates<\/span><\/h3>\n
Elms Mansion<\/b><\/a> – Nestled in the Garden District, this 1869 mansion boasts stunning Italianate architecture and beautifully manicured gardens, making it the perfect venue for those seeking an outdoor wedding.<\/span><\/p>\n
Race + Religious<\/b><\/a> – This three-building historic estate is a mix of whimsical indoor spaces and brick courtyards overflowing with greenery. Tie the knot by the courtyard pool before partying under the night sky (after your classic second-line parade, of course).<\/span><\/p>\n
Marigny Opera House<\/b><\/a> – Built in 1847, the Marigny Opera House started as a church before it was burnt down and rebuilt in 1853. It wasn’t until 1999 that the former church was turned into the Opera House that it is today. Now, it is arguably one of the most beautiful wedding venues in the country, thanks to its old-world charm.<\/span><\/p>\n
Hotels and Ballrooms<\/span><\/h3>\nLe Pavillon Hotel<\/b><\/a> – Situated in the heart of downtown NOLA, this 1907 hotel has all the charm you’d expect to find in a New Orleans hotel. Exchanging vows in one of their beautiful ballrooms will have you feeling like you traveled back in time.<\/span><\/p>\n
The Barnett<\/b><\/a> – Formerly known as the Ace New Orleans, this art deco hotel is quintessential New Orleans. It’s bursting with character, eclectic decor, and restaurants serving only the best Southern food. And the best part? Your guests can stay on the property with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unique Spaces<\/span><\/h3>\n
New Orleans Pharmacy Museum<\/b><\/a> – A pharmacy museum may not be at the top of everyone’s minds when it comes to wedding venues, but this gorgeous historic landmark provides the perfect opulent New Orleans party ambiance for your big day. And it’s only a couple blocks away from Jackson Square, where you can take stunning portraits with your significant other.<\/span><\/p>\n
French Quarter Wedding Chapel<\/b><\/a> – One of our favorite parts about the city is the unconventional venue options ideal for those looking for something outside the box–like the French Quarter Wedding Chapel. It’s the only wedding chapel in the French Quarter, is open 24\/7, and features vintage furniture, elegant chandeliers, and dollar bills hanging from the ceilings.<\/span><\/p>\n
Brennan’s<\/b><\/a> – Foodies looking for a venue for their intimate affair, look no further than Brennan’s. The restaurant is a James Beard Outstanding Restaurant finalist, was named one of CN Traveler’s best restaurants in the world, and is known as the birthplace of bananas foster. Oh, and did we mention that the decor is the epitome of romantic?<\/span><\/p>\n
New Orleans Wedding Photographer Highlight<\/span><\/h2>\nChoosing the right vendors<\/a> is one of the most challenging parts. With so many professionals out there who are wildly talented at what they do, how are you supposed to know which one is right for you? We want to highlight a Junebug photographer who we think is absolutely incredible. <\/span><\/p>\n

Review: “Matt and Liz are a terrifically talented and dynamic photography duo. We would hire them again without hesitation and would also encourage anyone reading this review to STOP your search and HIRE THEM! From the planning process to the event itself, Matt and Liz were attentive, accommodating, professional and very comfortable to be around. They captured so many special moments and expressions. We are truly thrilled with all aspects of their work: details, getting ready, first look, wedding, and reception photos. They even managed to capture great images of our very large families with speed and ease. Thank you, Matt and Liz, you were a fabulous addition to our wedding experience.”<\/span><\/p>\n
