The Pharmacy Museum Courtyard
Tucked away in the French Quarter, this intimate courtyard offers a uniquely New Orleans backdrop. The historic building, once an apothecary, provides character you simply can’t manufacture. It’s ideal for rehearsal dinners, cocktail receptions, or small ceremonies up to 80 guests.
Race & Religious
This stunning property in the Lower Garden District combines three historic buildings with lush courtyards and dramatic architecture. The mix of indoor and outdoor spaces makes it incredibly versatile for both weddings and corporate events.
The Catahoula Hotel Rooftop
For breathtaking views of the French Quarter, this rooftop space delivers. The Pisco bar adds a sophisticated touch, and the sunsets here are absolutely magical. Perfect for welcome parties or milestone celebrations.
Felicity Church
This deconsecrated church in the Garden District has been transformed into an event space that’s equal parts sacred and celebration-ready. The soaring ceilings and original details create an atmosphere of grandeur without stuffiness.
The Woodlands in Westwego
Just minutes from downtown, this 1830s plantation home offers a serene escape. The oak-lined grounds are straight out of a dream, and the intimate scale keeps events feeling personal.
