The “Let Them Eat Cake” and New Orleans Bride Magazine team is asked often for recommendations for everything from wedding planners to wedding favors and ever other element of a wedding. A way to avoid playing favorites is to offer a roundup of several suggestions. In that spirit, here are a few notable places making a splash in the New Orleans wedding scene.
- The church at Hotel Peter & Paul: This former church has been brought back to life as a prime spot for ceremonies or receptions. Its popular Elysian Bar lends itself to various smaller, wedding-related celebrations.
- The Franklin: Newly-renovated, The Franklin is a chic bar and restaurant with a killer cocktail menu that would work well for a bachelor/bachelorette dinner or welcome reception.
- New Orleans Athletic Club: This historic venue announced its new event space in the fall of 2018. It has been given new life with a renovation and a courtyard edition. Exposed brick and outdoor scenery mix tradition with modern upgrades for a modern or a traditional couple.
- The Eliza Jane: This Downtown hotspot offers an option for every wedding festivity from Couvant restaurant and its chic courtyard, the hotel bar, lobby and library areas.
- Maison de la Luz and Bar Marilou by Atelier Ace: The newest addition to New Orleans’ exploding boutique hotel scene, Maison de la Luz and its attached Bar Marilou, opened in the CBD in May.
