NOLA Ceremony & Reception in one place May/June 2013

lynngordo

I think we have looked at almost every venue in New Orleans (at least online), but I feel we are missing something. We need one venue that can accommodate an indoor ceremony (in case of rain) and a reception for 250-270 people. Downtown or Warehouse district preferred--does not have to be FQ, but can be. We want a place that has an outdoor space so smokers or others can go out. We may be dealing with a Friday night since most places are now booked for Saturdays. We'd like the reception to be in a place that has one large room, not separate rooms. Total cost, not more than $85 per person total food & drinks. We love the look of Board of Trade (traditional NOLA but not warehousey), but no place for ceremony. Suggestions appreciated!!

As someone who was originally planning for 300, I can tell you that according to my research none of the places listed so far can accommodate 270 people for both ceremony and reception. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

Latrobe's on Royal is BEAUTIFUL and should be able to host your size for the reception, I'm not sure about ceremony (my ceremony is off-site).

Also check out the Chicory and the Foundry in the Warehouse district.

My wedding and reception will both be held at the Marriott on Canal St in June 2013. This Marriott can  hold parties of up to 1300! The Marriott Convention Center has the Mardi Gras Ballroom, which can hold ~300 guests in banquet style setting.

We went with the Federal Ballroom. No courtyard, the smokers can just go out on the street! Can't get everything you want!
