Our 100 person wedding at Paradigm Gardens in April of 2024 was perfect. For starters, their Private Events Director Karen is unparalleled. Communication was clear and consistent from the very beginning, and we never felt like they were trying to upsell us. As two more laid-back brides, she made sure we didn't overlook any important details. If your food is the most important aspect of your wedding, stop reading this and call Paradigm Gardens to book now. Our budget was fairly limited, but Chef Pat over at Karibu Kitchen (Paradigm Gardens' Catering) made the most of every dollar we spent. The food and bar packages were, hands down, the best we encountered at any venue in New Orleans. We had so much fun designing our custom menu with Chef Pat, and the tasting at Tchoup yard was one of our favorite parts of the planning process. Our family and friends still tell us it was the best food they've ever had at any wedding. The team even went out of their way to make sure our bar included our favorite brand of pickle vodka shots which turned out to be one of the highlights of the night. The location in Central City was perfect. It allowed us to have our rehearsal dinner downtown, and also take our pre-ceremony pictures at Audubon Park without requiring much driving time to and from the venue. The lush garden was more than we could have asked for as a backdrop. We said our vows in a short ceremony then watched the sunset over cocktails and dinner. The jasmine was in full bloom which made for awesome photos. The goats were a big hit with our wedding guests and the outdoor kitchen acted as a sort of fiery centerpiece to the whole evening. We had a local DJ playing New Orleans bounce and spent the majority of the night on the dance floor under the string lights. Without a massive budget, we anticipated having to compromise on a lot of aspects to be able to afford a wedding in New Orleans, but we couldn’t have been more wrong. We will forever be grateful to the folks at Paradigm Gardens for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

I had such a beautiful day. My fiancé and I couldn't have picked a better venue. The staff was lovely and welcoming from day one. Mrs Lauren was always so sweet to us and went above and beyond to make it the best day she could. I cry a bit writing this because I'm so happy and the memories I can cherish of this special day will be with me for a lifetime. All of the staff was so sweet. And they tried to accommodate what requests they could. The grounds are beautiful there. My only complaint is that I wish more people would have been able to attend to see how magical that they made this day for us.

Louisiana Castle It’s such a joy getting married here! The venue is of course beautiful and had many of our guests going “What? A castle?” Everyone loved the experience of being there and being able to take photos on the Castle steps. Yes, it is far from the city, but we warned our guests and they were okay to drive home. This venue was a lot cheaper than others in New Orleans and the food was good as well. We wished we could have tried the food options prior to making selections, but it ended up fine regardless. Dolly is so sweet and makes sure that your financials are on track without being overbearing. Mary was instrumental in making the day go smoothly. My side of the family has a language barrier, and even they thought she was amazing and so easy to work with. She took care of so much and used her experience to make everything run well while also allowing us to do what we wanted as the bride and groom. Our bartenders were running late due to a van breakdown, and the Castle staff got all hands on deck to unload the alcohol and make sure that cocktail hour would still happen as planned. The views here made for the most incredible photos. Even better was staying at the Castle overnight – we got to walk around after all the guests had left, and the views from the Juliette Suite the next morning were gorgeous. The cleanup staff were so considerate and had taken their shoes off so that they wouldn’t wake us up while they cleaned the ballroom! Overall – we had a dream wedding and can’t recommend Louisiana Castle enough.

Our wedding at Chateau was nothing short of phenomenal. We had our ceremony and reception here, and I wouldn’t change a single thing. We were able to take photos on the golf course before the ceremony and it was gorgeous during golden hour! We loved that our guests didn’t need to drive to a different location between the ceremony and reception. All of the staff are amazing. My husband and I were catered to all night and our drinks were never empty. The food was delicious and the drinks were great too. We loved having the tables, chairs, table cloths, other decor, food, drinks, and more all provided for us. Some venues were charging per table and chair and requiring caterers for food and drinks, so it really made everything much easier to have it all provided by the venue. Any time we had questions leading up to the wedding, the staff was so helpful. I hardly had to worry about a single thing when it came to the venue, because Chateau handled it all for us. I could go on and on about how amazing everything was, but just take my word for it: it was AMAZING. Look no further!!

I could not pull off a wonderful review like this without a great venue partner. For brides looking for an all inclusive destination wedding location, the Canal Street is awesome and perfect. One of our happy clients: I am beyond grateful to have had Kristen as our wedding planner for our destination wedding at the Canal Street Inn. Planning a wedding from out of town can be overwhelming, but she made the entire process not just manageable, but truly enjoyable! From the very beginning, Kristen took the time to understand our vision and preferences. She provided invaluable insights into the local culture and customs, ensuring that our wedding was a beautiful blend of our personal touch and the charm of the destination. What impressed me the most was her incredible organization and communication skills. Despite the distance Kristen kept us informed every step of the way, coordinating everything from vendor bookings to logistics. She always made time to answer all our questions, making us feel connected and supported throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, Kristen and her team worked tirelessly to ensure that everything went perfectly. They managed all the details seamlessly, allowing us to focus on celebrating with our family and friends. It was truly a dream come true, and I was able to enjoy every moment without any stress. Thank you, Kristen and PK Events for your dedication, creativity, and hard work. You turned our destination wedding into a magical experience that we and our guests will cherish forever. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding, especially if you’re looking for someone who can expertly handle the complexities of a destination event!- Love, September Bride

From the moment we started planning, the team at Margaret Place made everything feel seamless. Communication was always prompt, warm, and thorough — we never felt like a burden, even with plenty of questions. Their planning support genuinely set us at ease. The venue itself is a dream. Margaret Place delivers a rare combination of historic charm (it’s a beautifully restored 1854 Greek Revival mansion) with modern, event-ready amenities. The courtyard and indoor/outdoor layout gave us flexibility — for the ceremony, reception, mingling, dancing — and made decorating easy. The on-site bridal suite deserves special praise. Spacious, with beautiful natural light, a wet bar, and a relaxed vibe — it was the perfect place for our friends and me to get ready and soak in the anticipation before walking down the aisle. Finally, the inclusive nature of the venue made planning far less stressful: furniture, sound, lighting, cleanup, even flexible vendor-selection (besides the bar) were all either included or simplified. Choosing Margaret Place for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. It wasn’t just a “venue” — it felt like a partner in our celebration. Every detail, from communication to ambiance to execution, exceeded our expectations. If you want a wedding that feels effortless, beautiful, and uniquely yours — this is the place.

I am so excited to write this review for the Royal Frenchmen Hotel and Bar Team. We live in Maryland, and while I have family who is local to NOLA, we were taking a chance on a venue we had never visited. But, even working with Chloe before our contract was signed, I felt confident that all of my questions were getting answered, and that even the questions I hadn’t thought to ask, would still be taken care of. And I was right. We worked with their team from June 2023 to our wedding weekend August 2024 and Chloe and I slowly worked through every possible detail before we arrived. We got to visit the venue in January and they were such gracious hosts to us and my family. We even got to meet more of the team, all just as warm and kind. During our visit they treated us to a bar tasting to curate our menu with their award winning bar tenders, as well as had our caterers come in to customize our menu. And the food, was of course New Orleans level taste and quality. DELICIOUS. We were huge fans of all the vendors they suggested, from the band, to the bakeries for our cake, to the amazing photographer and videographer skills you see in the photos attached. They prioritized our needs, and always listened to what we requested, while also providing expert guidance when we weren’t sure what was the best plan. Even in the middle of the thunderstorms that arrived the week leading up to our day, they ensured our plan was in tact with a tent that was so beautifully decorated I couldn’t believe it wasn’t part of the original layout. As our guests arrived to stay for the weekend, and filed in on Saturday for the wedding, we continued to receive such beautiful feedback on how attentive they were to guests before, during, and after the wedding. We plan to continue to be visitors of this awesome hotel and bar to reminisce our magical day, but I want to make sure other couples get the chance to experience the care, warmth, and amazing service provided by the Royal Frenchmen team for their special day.

Our wedding day was nothing short of magical thanks to everyone at the Chicory! Jenna, Kimberly, and their team did everything to make our day as perfect and stress-free as possible. We chose the Chicory because of its beautiful interior, outdoor space option for our ceremony, and the food; and none of it disappointed on the day of our wedding! They offer so many food options and everything was amazing! Our guests are already raving about how delicious the everything was. My biggest concern about planning a wedding without a wedding planner was how things would work day of, but Kimberly and Jenna took care of everything once we arrived at the venue, so I didn't have to worry about a thing except enjoying my wedding!
