Bourbon Orleans Hotel

yard - it's the quintessential New Orleans courtyard with a beautiful dark wall backdrop, fountain, hanging lights, and brick ground. It was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. Alyssa is amazing - she is very kind, helpful and patient. She seamlessly was able to move everything over to our new wedding date when we had to postpone. Thank you Alyssa for answering all my many questions. I'm so glad I got to see you at the wedding! Our wedding guests loved the venue and can't stop talking about how pretty the courtyard was. My husband and I stayed in the Balcony Loft Suite facing Orleans Street - loved it! Very spacious and such a treat to have a balcony for the weekend. We were also treated to champagne and chocolate covered strawberries which were a lovely touch. Many of our guests also stayed at the Bourbon Orleans and they loved how central and convenient it was especially since they just had to walk a few steps to our wedding venue. Perfect venue for a perfect wedding weekend!

as 10/10/20 but postponed a year due to covid. Alyssa was amazing throughout the entire time. She kept me up to date on what was going on in New Orleans and at the venue. When we were thinking about postponing yet again, she was so patient and understanding, not an easy task when dealing with a panicked bride. In the end we did not postpone again and everything was perfect! Alyssa and her team gave us a great wedding. The service was phenomenal. Our guests were so well taken care of. My Groom and I had Laura as our personal attendant. All we can say is WOW!! She was amazing. We didn't want for a thing. She always seemed to be right there with a fresh drink or whatever we might have needed. I swear she tied my grooms shoe when she noticed it had come undone. She was so lovely. It's obvious she enjoys what she does. We couldn't have asked for anyone better! The hotel is so beautiful. Our guests raved about how lovely it was. Our honeymoon suite was so nice. We had a two story room with a balcony. The downstairs living room was such a great place for the bridal party to get hair and makeup done. The balcony was our favorite spot for pictures and enjoying a glass of champagne once the evening was over. From beginning to end our experience with The Bourbon Orleans was wonderful. We are absolutely in love with the place as well as with the people. We plan to make staying in our honeymoon suite an anniversary tradition!!

mic restrictions were just starting to lift! The hotel had been renovated and they did not have food service. However, the staff was friendly and efficient. Our wedding was in St. Anne's Cottage, which is a part of the hotel. It is self contained and BEAUTIFUL. Has a very lovely outdoor courtyard adjoined by two rooms. If you're having a small wedding (under 50) this is the perfect spot. Our guests had a blast. Our rooms were cleaned daily - even with a short staff and they did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. I can only imagine how amazing it is, once everything is back to normal!

led every last detail of the ceremony, the schedule, the vendors and the reception flawlessly. I never felt stressed the day of my wedding. SO MANY of my guests told me it was the best wedding they have ever attended. What a magical day!!!

ng with planning coordinator Alyssa. I was particularly stressed since I was planning my wedding in New Orleans from my hometown of Tampa, Florida. From my first inquiry, Alyssa S. was fantastic in responding to all of my questions timely- and I had a lot! She worked with me on every detail including keeping within my budget, working with special meal requests, accommodations for my guests, and coordinating with my other vendors. Even though I knew she had many other events to coordinate, she made me feel like I was always the priority. The Cottage was a perfect for my 40 guests. We had plenty of room for the DJ in the courtyard and danced the night away. Pam was a personal assistant to us throughout the night and made sure we were all having a great time. She was outstanding! The food was very good. Our guests favorites were the Louisiana Crabcakes and the Filet Mignon.

king with Alyssa really put me at ease as she was able to answer my questions and provide guidance that I needed. During the planning process, Alyssa was readily available and provided me with recommendations, and trusted vendors for the various aspects of the wedding. Upon my arrival, the hotel staff was so welcoming and kind. The front desk manager went above and beyond to make sure that we were well situated with our accommodations. From my observation, she was pleasant, well-versed and guided the front desk staff with confidence as she demonstrated and walked them through steps for check-in. The bell hop, BCC, kept us entertained, always available to help and with smile or funny joke. On the wedding day, Alyssa and her team expertly coordinated the wedding and vendors and I didn’t have to worry about anything. As a testament to working with her team, I was calm and unstressed as I walked down the aisle. We started on time, and Alyssa kept the wedding and reception moving, with dinner and all the wedding traditional like cake cutting, first dance, toast, etc. Overall, it really was a pleasant experience having my wedding at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel.

! Working with Alyssa during the planning process was SO easy and she’s an amazing person! Since this was a destination I was nervous of how a few things would go, but she made it perfect! During our wedding weekend I stayed in the suite that was also my “get ready” room and it was beautiful! So spacious for multiple people to come in and out and to top it off there was a balcony to give it that NOLA vibe! During the wedding itself, I am at a loss of words!! Everything went so perfect! I had a bridal attendant named Pam and she was the most genuine great woman to help me and even my husband the entire night! I don’t think anything would have ran so smooth without Pam and Alyssa! The entire stay at the Bourbon Orleans was a dream and the wedding venue was perfect for our smaller wedding! I would have my wedding there again if I could!!

ther everything we needed to create the perfect day. The entire staff at the hotel was absolutely incredible, from the valet team, front desk staff, bellman, to the sales managers. The entire team went above and beyond for our families and guests, including accommodating my brother who has special needs due to a disability. The day of the wedding their staff was there to make sure our day went perfectly. From top to bottom, the experience was top-notch. We could not have picked a better venue for our special day!

s-free, nothing but the 2 of you Wedding Day. Alyssa made everything extremely easy. We are from Nashville, TN so we had to communicate via phone and email. I simply sent "inspirational" photos of my bouquet and a wedding cake. Alyssa also arranged for the Reverend to officiate the ceremony and we spoke directly with him to write/pick our vows. She also arranged for the photographer. We just showed up and had a great time. We can't say enough about how pleasant the entire experience was. Complete with a bottle of Champagne and a welcoming letter we both give this entire Wedding Experience Five Stars!

the chance to work Alyssa, you will not be sorry. She made our day perfect! Thank you to all that we had the pleasure of working with. You all made our wedding a dream come true.

ve asked for a better experience! We plan of going back for our anniversary every year! <3

courtyard was the perfect setting. The food was delicious and the staff was great. Megan was so easy to work with. She was very responsive to my emails and phone calls. We couldn't ask for a more perfect wedding venue!

ing, but Megan and her team at the Bourbon Orleans did not blink an eye! They treated our small wedding with the service and detail as though we were a wedding of 100. The hotel had several weddings that Saturday, but you would never be able to tell. Our attendant and the services received were beyond our expectations! The staff took such great care of us and our guests. Megan, our Sales Manager is an expert at what she does. She organized almost every piece of our wedding and is always in communication and a phone call away to make you feel comfortable miles away. The balcony for the elopement is right in the heart of the Quarter and Bourbon. The energy for the day was infectious. The food catered into the room was carefully tended to and delicious while the drinks were easy to have available. The balcony was a great party New Orleans style. The Bourbon Orleans truly made our day one of the best days of our lives. We cannot be more happy we found this perfect match for our wedding. We highly recommend for a small to large wedding. The entire hotel is gorgeous! Thank you again Megan and the Bourbon Orleans team for all your hard work!

ak season. Alyssa was so easy to work with and always kept amazing and quick communication if any issue did arise. She gave us excellent recommendations for vendors and ideas that helped perfect every detail of our special day. The staff was also very attentive and welcoming the whole time we were there and were quick to respond to any request. The hotel and ballroom are beautiful and guests were very pleased with it, the location was perfect as it’s close to the bourbon party but tucked away on a beautiful street. Alyssa and the entire bourbon Orleans team knocked it out of the park. We will be forever grateful for their expertise and turning a plan into the greatest night of our life’s.

ory of the ballroom really adds something special. Alyssa was very responsive anytime that I needed something or had a question--and trust me, I had many. My goal for our wedding day was to be able to show up, have a good time, and leave the stress of coordinating to the venue, and they took care of us so well! Even something as little as letting us sit away from everyone after the second line and making sure we sat down to eat before making our rounds with guests. I can't say enough good things about them and their team, and I cannot thank Alyssa enough for making sure our day was absolutely perfect! I highly, highly recommend them for your special day.

with the service provided from all aspects including registration, bartenders, servers & houskeeping! I cannot thank them enough, especially Alyssa, for all they did to make our special day become a magical experience! If anyone islooking for a place to have their special day, THIS IS IT!

of us as Bride and Groom. Made a once in a lifetime event smooth and memorable. Without a doubt a perfect choice for wedding and/or reception venue.

easy and stress free. During the planning process Megan met with us several times to tour the space, provided space diagrams, and joined us for a catering tasting. She was always quick to respond to any email inquiry (no matter how trivial). The Bourbon Orleans was a big part of our weekend. My husband and I stayed in one of the suites with a private balcony and many of our out-of-town guests stayed in the hotel too. The Bourbon-O bar on the First floor allowed us to reserve a section of the bar on a Friday night to host a welcome party. The entire staff were unbelievably friendly and courteous all weekend. Right before the ceremony began, Megan and a bridal attendant, Pam, met me in the room to walk me to the St. Anne Cottage (reminding me to breathe the whole way!). After the second line, Pam brought a plate of food for us to share and some champagne to drink before we joined our guests at the reception. I was not expecting to have a bridal attendant, but having Pam's help during the event made the reception go very smoothly, and we were always well cared for! The space itself is beautiful. We had a wedding of about 60 guests, and the St. Anne Cottage accommodated everyone perfectly without feeling too big or too crowded. The Cottage is three rooms and a courtyard. We gambled on the weather, but it paid off - the courtyard was charismatic with bistro lighting, brick walls and floor, and greenery - exactly the French Quarter wedding that we had dreamed of. I would not have changed a thing about our wedding day, the venue we chose, or the people that were involved in the planning and execution!

the best wedding they had ever been to! Alyssa as a wedding coordinator was incredible! Thank you so much for everything, it was a dream come true!

ination wedding in New Orleans and were very excited after doing our site visit at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel. We immediately fell in love with the hotel and as soon as we saw the ballroom we knew it would be perfect for our guests. And after meeting with Alyssa to go over all the details of our reception, we felt completely at ease and knew we were making the right choice. We had almost a year to plan our wedding and were very fortunate to work with her the entire time. She was VERY organized and quick to respond to any of our questions via email or phone, which made planning a wedding from afar much easier. When our big day finally arrived, we were so excited to see how well everything came together. During our reception we received so many compliments about the ballroom, the staff, and the food…everyone LOVED the food. Everything flowed so well from the time we arrived with our second line to our final dance and we owe that all to Alyssa and the Bourbon Orleans staff. THANK YOU!

de planning from Chicago so easy. She was so patient with us and answered our many, many questions along the way. She is simply the best, and I don't know how we would have done it without her. The week leading up to the wedding, she made everything went perfectly. We felt so special from arrival to check out. Our guests raved about the food and how beautiful the ballroom was. The drink packages are amazing - we went with the base package that included liquor and all our guests were very happy with the selection. Our guests also LOVED the balcony! I can't compliment Alyssa and her team at the Bourbon Orleans enough. Our wedding here was even better than what we had envisioned.

wedding and I wanted to make sure I was working with venues who would have good communication, and she succeeded my expectations. She stayed in contact up till the day before the wedding. Day of was perfect, my husband and I had our own servers who took care of us the entire night, I always had a drink in my hand. The food was so yummy, all the guest loved it. I can't thank the hotel staff enough for such an amazing experience. Everyone so friendly and helpful. Again, thank you Alyssa for all your help creating our dream wedding, it was a night myself and guests will never forget.

in love with the Bourbon, especially with the balcony off the ballroom. We also had a welcome celebration at the Bourbon O Bar and personally stayed there during our wedding week. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue. First off, the ballroom is beautiful and incredibly historic. Secondly, the staff, including Alyssa, are AMAZING. Alyssa was so incredibly helpful during the wedding planning process, especially for being a destination bride. We only were able to make a couple of trips to New Orleans prior to the wedding but I wasn't once concerned since I knew Alyssa had everything under control. She is incredibly organized and on top of everything. In addition, she is incredibly sweet and kind and was a pleasure to work with. The staff at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel is incredibly helpful. We stayed in a couple of the larger suites and had food catered in the day of. It was such a relief to not have to think about these items on the day of and the staff/Alyssa made that possible. The food for the reception was excellent and we received multiple compliments from our guests on how great it was. If you want a historic, beautiful and New Orleans wedding, the Bourbon Orleans Hotel is an excellent fit for you. I would 100% recommend the venue and wouldn't have changed one thing from our wedding.

laint. In fact- I've told everyone I know who isn't already married that they need to get married there. It was amazing. Now to begin my gushing- Megan was our coordinator and she was AMAZING. Janae ( I hope I'm spelling her name right!) was our day-of attendant and she was THE BOMB. We didn't want or need for anything, she was on top of everything and frequently one step ahead. She was an absolute delight- I wish I could have her with me all the time. From the moment we arrived the staff was so friendly and attentive- and I mean everyone from valets, bellman, desk clerks, everyone. Every detail was attended to. Everything was handled flawlessly. Megan made sure I knew exactly what was going on. She made sure I had a detailed itinerary that we discussed and planned together, and for things I was clueless on she helped guide me. She answered endless questions. She was so amazing, I could probably sing her praises forever. The food! Oh my goodness, pardon my caps lock but- THE FOOD. It was TO DIE FOR. Seriously- life changing. I'm going to have to figure out how to get my hands on some of it again. Janae brought my husband and I plates before anyone else got any (Yes- I got to eat at my own wedding- a lot. It was amazing.) When she saw what we loved, she brought us platefuls more. If I even casually mentioned something to someone, they made sure we got it. I always had a full drink or a bottle of water. They even helped pack up some of our decorations, which they weren't at all responsible for doing, but they did it. When we got up to our room there were plates and plates of leftovers for us to munch on, as well as a bottle of sparkling cider (we don't drink alcohol, and they remembered), and some chocolate covered strawberries. They really thought of everything (including things I never would have thought of) and made us feel so special. You hear so many horror stories about weddings, but the Bourbon Orleans staff are pros and you can tell. This venue is amazing. It's beautiful, it's historical, the food was outstanding. I honestly don't know what else you could ask for. All our friends and family agreed that it was amazing and have been gushing about it since. I haven't heard a single complaint, and I'd say it's a miracle but I really do think they just know what they're doing here. I am one happy bride!

I worked in the wedding industry as a photographer for 5+ years, and due to that, my standards are very, very high. My (now) husband and I had decided on a destination wedding in The French Quarter, because it has a very special meaning to us. We live in Austin and could not make frequent trips to NoLa, so we spent months researching and calling/writing venues. I had a lot of trouble getting ahold of most of the venues during planning. It sometimes took weeks for them to write us back, and they’d miss scheduled phone calls. This is where Alyssa and The Bourbon Orleans began to shine. When we toured all of our options for venue Alyssa was the *only* representative that we met with that was prepared . After meeting with her, we knew this was where the reception had to be. Just a few examples of how Alyssa and the staff went above and beyond: **Our wedding was DIY centerpieces and decorations, the staff made certain everything was delivered up to our rooms immediately so that flowers would not wilt.** ** Checked in on us after Hurricane Harvey** **Included a conference room for us to get ready in** **Located a space for my fiancé and his groomsmen to get ready at on the day of, because he had forgotten to set one up ** **Granted all the rooming requests we made (we had a block of about 20 rooms and almost everyone had some kind of request; this was no easy feat)** The day of, everything went on without a hitch. Jonae, our bridal attendant made sure our drinks were always full, and food was on our plates. She also went out of her way to make sure the immediate family was happy and treated as well. During cocktail hour and the rest of the night, all of the wait staff and Culinarian attendants were awesome! They all seemed to be truly enjoying themselves. They also went out of their way to make sure one guest with a food allergy was specially taken care of. A big thank you to all who worked our wedding night : Gregory Smith – Food and Beverage Manager Jonae Mack – Bridal Attendant Kelvin Avila – Bartender Gregg Glasper – Bartender Felix Rainey – Server and Bartender Felicia Mercadel – Server Sylvania Dix – Server Pat Martin – Culinarian Attendant Tabitha LeFleur – Culinarian Attendant When we got back to our room that night, we saw the waitstaff had left us a sample of our menu including the hors d’oeuvres we had ordered ( nice touch given that we didn’t get to have any of those!!!) as well as a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries and a hand written congratulations note from Alyssa. The service did not stop the night of either! After the wedding, they upgraded us in order to let us stay in the same room, instead of moving into a smaller one, and continued to be awesome all the way through the weekend. A big shout out to Phillip as well, for helping my mother and aunt with drinks and also making the best Bloody Mary’s in the quarter. You all made our weekend perfect! If you are looking for a fairy tale wedding in The French Quarter, I highly, highly suggest booking the Bourbon Orleans. You will not regret it.

llroom it is so elegant and classy; from the chandeliers to the crown molding. From the moment I booked the wedding Alyssa the wedding coordinator was so proactive in getting involved in my planning. Alyssa was interested in my vision of my wedding and definitely made that vision a reality. Alyssa went above and beyond and when my day of coordinator backed out the week of my wedding. She took the roll and confirmed all my vendors, I can not thank her enough. Alyssa worked with me weeks prior laying out every little detail of the wedding set up. Alyssa also assisted in helping recommend vendors through all the craziness of planning. She was very prompt with communication through email and telephone. Alyssa spent time sending me photos from previous weddings and layouts. I could go on and on alyssa went above and beyond. Alyssa you made my entry table and last minute candy bar look fantastic!!! . I could go on and on alyssa went above and beyond.As far as the wedding at the Bourbon Orleans was extraordinary and beyond my expectations. Starting Thursday night we were welcomed into a suite with a personal card and complimentary gift from the hotel. The staff consistently check on us leading up to the wedding. The staff at the Bourbon Orleans went above and beyond keeping our rooms clean and accommodating us carrying our luggage etc. The wedding day I could go on and on from the setup to ever detail I got so many compliments on how beautiful everything was. We arrived at the Bourbon Orleans after our ceremony they set up a private dinner in our suite so we could eat before entering the reception. We had a very attentive bridal attendant Kishon who was awesome! The food was amazing shout out to Charles the catering manager the food rocked!!! The staff in the ballroom were so attentive to everyone providing them with drinks and food especially the elderly. My friends grandmother couldn’t stand and they ensured her seat did not get taken and provided her with food through the night. Once we arrived to the ballroom for our grand entrance alyssa had it organized where we immediately went to the cake table for cake cutting and pictures. From their on out we were able to enjoy the wedding and dance the night away. The staff made us feel so royal. Felix was our personal body guard, he followed me around the whole night ensuring no one spilled anything on me and provided me with drinks. He was the best. If you choose the Bourbon Orleans for your wedding venue you will not be disappointed. Thank you to the venue and the staff for giving me the most perfect and beautiful wedding day I could of ever dreamed of. We will definitely be coming back to visit soon. So sad it’s over!!

emely gracious through months of changing plans and annoying questions. She helped us use every bit of this hotel to our greatest advantage to execute our plans: cocktail hour in Roux, reception in the Ballroom, after party at the Bourbon O, farewell brunch at the St Ann Cottage. She and the rest of the staff at the hotel also worked hard for us to make us feel comfortable and at home, which was desperately needed as a hurricane threatened to derail our wedding plans and we were quite stressed. Thankfully, the hotel and our vendors were flexible, and so we were able to move everything up 3-hrs on short notice rather than cancel (which many other people did around town). Ultimately, I don't believe we could've chosen a more perfect place to celebrate our love with family friends and I can't wait to return many times in the years to come to celebrate our anniversaries.

The Orleans Ballroom is just the ticket! Megan and the whole hospitality team were perfect - so responsive and dealt with our planner so well. The food was DELICIOUS. The room is so beautiful, many of our 90 out of town guests (from 8 countries) took photos of the decor! We really didn't need to do much to make the space pop. The pool courtyard was perfect for our spring ceremony. 6 months later, and everyone is STILL talking about our wedding.

Orleans and wanted the entire event to have a New Orleans feel. We knew we wanted a space that felt historic with vintage elegance, somewhere that you couldn't find just anywhere in America. That's exactly what we found with the Bourbon Orleans. We researched and viewed countless spaces and no other venue came close to the Bourbon Orleans' New Orleans charm, decor, and customer service. We knew we needed to find a venue that not only fit our vision, but also had exceptional customer service since we couldn't be in New Orleans ourselves. We worked with Alyssa throughout the planning process and she was nothing short of amazing! She completely outdid herself and made our dream wedding become a reality. She was so easy to get in touch with and made sure we were always on track with our plans so that everything ran smoothly. She gave us so many wonderful ideas to truly make our wedding special and memorable for my husband and I as well as all of our guests. Not only was every little detail perfectly executed, but all of our expectations were exceeded. The food blew us away in taste and quality. We had the best steak of our lives at the wedding! Not only was the food fantastic, but all of our guests commented about how wonderful the bartenders and cocktails were throughout the night. Every little detail was perfect and my husband and I were made to feel like royalty. We had a personal attendant the entire evening who made sure our every want was met. Our wedding felt like something our of a fairy tale. Every detail was perfection. All of our guests raved that it was the best wedding they had ever attended. We truly can't recommend the Bourbon Orleans enough. Do yourself a favor and book this venue - you will be so, so glad you did! Thank you for giving us a fairy tale, Alyssa!!!

urbon Orleans Hotel was exactly what we were looking for. We met with Alyssa and she showed us the guest rooms, the ballroom, and the balcony. She even had a table set up so we could get a better feel for the decor. Alyssa was incredible to work with. She's kind, attentive, and very prompt in her responses. She was also able to provide a number of suggestions for small touches that would help to bring the whole day together. All weddings take a lot of work and planning. A destination wedding adds in the additional factor of the unknown and Alyssa helped to make it all seem so easy. She made sure that all of our guests that were staying at the hotel were well taken care of, as well as providing our parents with some additional amenities. The food was spectacular! It's always difficult to serve to a large group, but the staff had the experience to make everything come together seamlessly. The ballroom is gorgeous and feels like you're in a different era, which is exactly what we were going for. Since this is a historic hotel, my husband and I also like the idea of being able to return here for significant anniversaries throughout our marriage. Alyssa was very accommodating to all of our requests. She even coordinated for our Second Line band to play for our guests in the lobby before stepping off for our parade between the ceremony and reception. One key factor to planning a wedding or any large event is having exceptional vendors. Alyssa and the team at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel are exactly that.

icious and the staff went above and beyond to make sure our day went off without a hitch. We highly recommend a wedding here and if you have a chance to work with Megan, she is wonderful in helping plan every step of the way!

was great. I am so thankful we chose this as our destination wedding venue. If you love New Orleans, there are only a handful of balcolnies that you can get married on. I highly suggest this one!

and her proactive following up. She was so helpful in working with our budget and coming up with ideas to customize our options. The ballroom itself is beautiful and there is so much space to accommodate large parties. You'll know from your site visit (and other reviews) that you're in good hands. We really enjoyed trying the shrimp and grits (served in martini glasses) and etouffee. All in all, it was clear that Alyssa would be a great partner in planning an event and that Bourbon Orleans had the experience to pull of a party without a hitch.

get married! Alyssa made everything so easy and so wonderful! Having our guests stay onsite was so easy (all out of town guests). The balcony made it special and the ballroom was so gorgeous with the chandeliers. We did a sit down dinner and everyone raved about the food. I highly, highly recommend having your wedding here and working with Alyssa! Our day couldn't have been more perfect!

r personal attendant day of was also so delightful - she really made sure we were taken care off throughout the night by even making sure I had hot tea in my room waiting for me as I was losing my voice from all the fun. Alyssa, who helped us coordinate throughout the year, was super attentive and great to problem solve with. Our wedding literally went off without any problems. So happy we picked the Bourbon Orleans Hotel for our destination wedding - we can't wait to visit them again!

d my family got dressed in the suites. We cannot get over how amazing everything was for our wedding. Everything was so beautiful at the reception and the ballroom was such a perfect fit for us (classic, romantic, grand, but not oversize). All of our guests loved the food, bar, and balcony. Everything was just so amazing. Ballroom was so beautiful--did not need much for decoration--just used the candle votives provided by Hotel (Alyssa did a fantastic job of placing them in nice places) and had 1-2 modest bouquets done by the florist. Besides, the votives, I asked Alyssa to place some framed photos of my bridal portraits and some of our engagement shots around the guest book table, stairwell tables, and up in ballroom and by the bar. She did a perfect job, making all the little details just perfect and beautiful. We didn't have a wedding planner, so having Alyssa, our coordinator associated with the Hotel, was a lifesaver. She was very helpful and so professional during the event and earlier in the day (even when our limo bus didn't show up). Alyssa and the General Manager were also great to work with during the planning. They worked so well within our budget--maximized our value for the money we could spend. I had specialty beer flown in and delivered and the bar staff was helpful in holding the beer until my new husband, me, and the wedding party could get there. We had a live bind play as well as a Second Line parade at the end of the night--Alyssa was fantastic at coordinating all of it! It was a magical night! Our guests (half from out of town) were able to get a great experience of New Orleans. Hotel rooms were nice and clean--great location for out of town guests. The Corner Balcony suite worked great for my bridesmaids and me to get ready in. One small tip for Brides--if you're planning on getting a sound night of sleep the night before--ask for a room on the internal corridor--away from Bourbon street! Corner suite the night before was a bit loud but the hotel was able to provide earplugs which helped. :)

hotel is beautiful and also a great location for good wedding pics. Our wedding coordinator Megan did an amazing job and was very well organized. We didn't have anything to worry about on the day of the wedding, she took care of everything. Had great food and staff during the reception. We had a blast!!

en the venue, tasted the food, etc. But as soon as we arrived our fears were gone. All of our remaining questions about logistics were answered before we even asked them. The day of went smoothly, even with a short rain shower. Megan had a backup plan & moved our ceremony into an indoor room. We held our reception in the St. Ann Cottage, which was a perfect size for our 35 guests. The courtyard is gorgeous, even on a hot & humid evening all of our guests danced out there non-stop. The food was delicious, our guests raved about all of it, in particular the shrimp & grits! My wife & I were disappointed we didn't get to eat more of it! I want to make a special mention about the staff, we had a super sweet attendant who didn't let our glasses or plates go empty; the head server had kind words for us whenever he saw us throughout the weekend; and one of my favorite memories is dancing with my family & friends and seeing some of the servers dancing through a window, and then later joining in our conga line! Finally, for any LGBT+ couples looking for a venue, you couldn't ask for a better, more welcoming venue. We used their #lovewins package & every element was perfect. Thanks to everyone at the Bourbon Orleans!

ds and family! All our guests had a great time. Thank you for helping to make our special day unforgettable.

for a NOLA wedding. Until we saw the ballroom of the Bourbon Orleans! It is historic and lovely, and the balcony adds a little something extra (lagniappe as they say in NOLA). What really put it over the top, however, was the excellent impression made by the Senior Catering Manager Alyssa. Not only could I tell she was attentive and on top of things (something very important for a busy, nervous, type A bride), but she helped us come up with the most amazing and unique specialty cocktail for our big day! The entire experience working with the team at Bourbon Orleans was easy and pleasant. Our big day went off perfectly. Our guests raved about the food and drink, and the service was impeccable. The team also took very good care of my husband and I, and our family and friends during the entire stay. I cannot say enough how happy I am that we chose the Bourbon Orleans for our venue!

r wedding coordinator Megan. I knew I wanted to get married at this hotel after our first venue visit. Megan made me feel so comfortable with having a destination wedding and answered the million emails I sent her promptly. She has the patience of a counselor and she deserves to be recognized for the amazing work she does. During our stay the staff was very friendly and night of reception staff treated us like family! Food was excellent! Would not change a thing! Thank you again for making our day so special!!!!
