If you’re envisioning a wedding or elopement that embodies romance, history, and the unmistakable charm of New Orleans, allow the Lanaux Mansion to sweep you off your feet. Nestled between the French Quarter and the Faubourg Marigny, this beautifully preserved Victorian mansion offers an enchanting setting for couples seeking an elegant celebration, whether you’re hosting an intimate wedding or one with all the bells and whistles.
Built in 1879, the Lanaux Mansion exudes timeless elegance with its stunning architecture, intricate ironwork, and beautifully detailed interiors. Each of the mansion’s rooms and parlors provide a variety of options for your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Every corner of this historic home works together to tell a story, providing a unique backdrop for your love. In short, the home’s rich history makes it a venue like no other, offering a sense of timeless glamor that will add an extra layer of magic to your special day.
One of the many perks of hosting your wedding or elopement at the Lanaux Mansion is its prime location in the French Quarter – you’ll be steps away from some of New Orleans’ most iconic landmarks. Imagine capturing your wedding photos in front of the St. Louis Cathedral, wandering the streets of the French Quarter, or taking a post-ceremony stroll along the Mississippi River. Maybe you want to incorporate a traditional second line parade, savor local delicacies at your reception, or simply soak in the ambiance of the Crescent City. Whatever your preference, the mansion offers a truly authentic New Orleans experience, and its location allows you to seamlessly blend the charm of the city with the intimacy of your celebration.
Whether you’re hosting an intimate elopement or a grand wedding, the Lanaux Mansion offers wedding and elopement packages that will perfectly suit your needs. Our wedding package includes a 3-hour open bar, passed hors d’oeuvres and food stations, champagne for a bridal toast, on-site security, and more. We also have a list of recommended caterers, musicians, photographers, florists, and other wedding professionals to make your wedding planning smooth and easy.
If you’re dreaming of a quiet ceremony for you and a few guests, our elopement packages offer a two-night stay in our enchanting Sophie’s Cottage, one hour of photography, dinner at one of the finest New Orleans restaurants, and more.
Yet perhaps the most enticing part about hosting your wedding or elopement at the Lanaux Mansion is that it’s not just a venue—it’s also a luxurious bed and breakfast, offering you (and your loved ones) a beautiful and convenient place to stay before and after your wedding. Each luxury suite is a perfect blend of antique charm and modern comfort, providing a serene retreat before and after the excitement of your big day. Imagine waking up as newlyweds in a beautifully appointed suite, with the French Quarter at your doorstep!
When all is said and done, the Lanaux Mansion is the perfect venue for couples dreaming of a wedding or elopement that combines elegance, history, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. With its beautiful architecture, lush courtyard, luxurious accommodations, and prime location, it offers everything you need to create unforgettable memories.
