Hi Brides,
I live in Atlanta and am in the midst of the beginning stages of planning. My fiancee and I are headed to New Orleans in Feb. to look at venues for a Feb. 2013 wedding. We have 3 days planned and I've booked tours of the following places. Please let me know if I've missed something that you think would work for me!
Here's a little info. about some ideals for me.
1. Ideally I'd like to have the reception and ceremony in the same place. My fiancee's mom has MS so walking from one place to another is not possible.
2. I would LOVE to have a seated dinner - although nearly everywhere I'm seeing is buffet. =(
3. We have about 100 guests (max)
4. We REALLY don't want to spend over $15,000
Here's where we are touring.

New Orleans Board of Trade |

Re: out of town bride visiting venues - did I miss anything

Just remember that most catering packages are based on a buffet reception of three hours. If you want to accommodate a seated dinner, it will be much more expensive.

You should also look into Gallier Hall. If you rent the second floor there are multiple rooms and you and your future hubby can get married in one room and have dinner in the next, You would have to rent chairs and tables (which they rent). You would also have to hire a caterer, I still think you could come out under budget by doing this. Good luck!
