I 100000000% recommend this cute little chapel for your wedding!!!…read more The entire process was so effortless and stress free! I really couldn't be any happier with how everything turned out. We are from California and decided to get married here, at the French Quarter Wedding Chapel. We booked our wedding about 2 months in advance and got married 7/25/2025. We chose the standard wedding package and added a few extras: the bridal bouquet, groom's boutonniere, flower girl basket, and an upgraded photography package. Reverend Cassandra Watson brought so much warmth and joy to our ceremony. She made me feel so comfortable and happy. Teresa Newman, our photographer, captured some absolutely stunning photos of us. We also had a violinist playing sweet music and a greeter who made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Since we were flying back to California a few days after the wedding, we took our marriage license to the Jefferson Parish General Government Center right after the ceremony to have it recorded immediately. It was a quick and easy process. I am so truly grateful for the experience and the hospitality of the entire French Quarter Wedding Chapel Team. Thank you so much for making our special day so memorable.

In a shabby chic, imagine the history kind of way that I'm absolutely in LOVE with! Teresa, our officiant, was great! She was nice, made us feel at ease, and gave us exactly what we wanted. Cons: Literally everything else. When they took my deposit, they said I didn't need to let them know any of my package preferences as "We'd talk several times before the big day." I NEVER heard from them again despite a dozen emails, phone calls, and voicemails trying to get in touch. I actually thought they had taken our deposit and were ripping us off. I was actually investigating last minute elopement ideas that were going to cost double as I was so scared I'd been scammed. They actually never called us back. We had a friend's cousin who called with a local number. They picked up immediately and said of course they were open for business. Originally I was going to get a cake, a champagne toast, and after being ignored, I just went with the simple package and a photos. Which brings me to my last con. The photos are TERRIBLE!!!! The lighting is terrible. Almost half of them are blurry. So many eyes closed shots that are completely unusable. Even simple things, like we were holding up our license and my side was lower (I'm 6 inches shorter), and he didn't bother to tell us it was crooked. DO NOT USE THEIR PHOTOGRAPHERS!!!!! Find your own unless you want your family's cell phone shots to be the best ones. I'm heartbroken about this.

I don't know if there are superlatives enough to describe how exceptional Latrobe's is and I…read moreunequivocally recommend it to anyone planning an event in New Orleans. The historic space is beautiful and provided excellent flow at my daughter's wedding. The food was exquisite. And I simply can't say enough about Rylan, Millie, Hana and the rest of the staff at Latrobe's. Their professionalism, their attention to detail, their care and patience - all are unmatched. We did not hire a wedding planner and now, knowing just how much work is involved in planning a wedding, I think we simply couldn't have done it without their guidance and tips, which they provided even for events beyond the wedding and their scope of work. The whole event ran so smoothly that I was worry-free and thoroughly able to enjoy the wedding myself. And the rave reviews from the guests (as well as from participating vendors!) prove just how exceptional Latrobe's is.

So much so that we did not feel the need to hire a wedding planner. The venue's highly-skilled and experienced team are able to provide helpful insights every step of the way and are always willing to answer questions. Their vendor list is very helpful, everyone they recommended did an incredible job. The building itself is nothing short of magical. Giving our guests a real taste of New Orleans was incredibly important. If our guests did nothing else during their trip, we wanted them to feel like they had an experience unique to the city. Latrobe's definitely helped us achieve that. From the beautiful courtyard complete with burning gas lamps, to the grand banking room, to the wonderful food selection of delicious regional delicacies. Many of our guests told us that they felt they had been transported back in time. That it was the best, most unique wedding they had ever attended - and with the best food! Lastly, the team at Latrobe's is incredible - I actually miss talking to them every week! (LOL) Rylan, Hana, and Millie are the best. I am so grateful for their expertise, patience, and kindness during the entire planning process. A big thank you to Rylan especially for her guidance during our tasting and rehearsal! We would also like to thank the day-of event team, including Marté and David, who made us feel so special on our wedding day. Many of our guests commented on the kindness of the Latrobe's staff who made them feel so welcome. In conclusion, there are simply not enough stars to accurately review Latrobe's! If you have been searching for a venue in New Orleans, congratulations, you've found it! Trust me. We will cherish the memories forever.
