Outdoor Reception sites in the French Quarter

I'm an OOT Bride and trying to organize this whole wedding from Houston. I'm looking to have a nice outdoor ceremony for about 50-85 Guests. Because my guest list is under 100, most venues are telling me I need to have a Friday day or Sunday day wedding. I would really like to have an evening wedding, but I guess it will depend. I'm also on a budget. I would like to have a nice outdoor wedding, maybe in a courtyard or with nice gardens. I really want a second line parade in between the ceremony and reception in the quarter. Possibly Muriels or Brussards for the reception. In otherwords, I'm having a hard time finding a cute venue for a small wedding that has a beautiful outdoor scenery in the French Quarter. Any thoughts??

    The NO Pharmacy Museum has a cute courtyard available for cermonies, but I'm not sure about receptions.  I think the Maison Dupuy also has a smaller courtyard for about 50 people.  There's also the Hermann Grima house which has a nice courtyard and the St. Louis hotel.  I really loved Muriels for the reception site with the Pharmacy museum for the ceremony, but had difficulty with rain backup.

    Maison Dupuy Hotel has a lovely courtyard.

    it seems like St. Louis hotel could be perfect. we didn't use it because it was too small but it looks so beautiful.

    I had mine at Broussard's courtyard and it was beautiful. Attached to Broussards is the Herma- Grimma house and it has a beautiful house/ courtyard for a gorgeous wedding.

    Also we stayed at the Royal Sonesta and there was an outside wedding going on in their courtyard during our stay there.

    Best of luck,

    And Royal Sonesta is across the street from Broussards.
