Capulet

Steve + the whole Capulet team were amazing to work with for our Rehearsal Dinner & Welcome Party for our wedding! A full stop, turnkey event space that has their stuff super together with a staff that's on top of everything. Honestly one of the best experiences we had with any of our venues in New Orleans.

My wife and I chose Capulet for our June 2024 wedding reception due to it's close proximity to our ceremony venue. It ended up being one of the best decisions we made! Steve and Stefanie were amazing to work with. Their excellent communication and organization took the stress off of us and made everything go smoothly. They were accommodating and willing to meet with us several times as well as patient with all of our questions. We love that they are active in LGBTQIA+ community events which was important to us as a queer couple. The space hosts a beautiful backdrop to bring your vision to life. It was plenty large enough for our 150-person wedding. Lastly, Chef Pony's food was SPECTACULAR. I chose the menu and she brought it to life better than we could've ever expected. We have gotten so many compliments on the food and drinks. We also added the beignet service at the end of the night which really tied our New Orleans wedding together and was such a special touch. Can't recommend Capulet enough!

When searching for the perfect wedding venue, my husband and I must have toured at least 6 or 7 other locations in New Orleans, each of which had its own unique history and charm - which is what we wanted, but nothing really seemed to speak to us. The moment we walked into Capulet, we knew. And we are so thrilled that we made the decision to hold our event there. In the 8 months leading up to and including our wedding, Steve Nutting and his team were nothing short of amazing. The venue itself is visually striking, but Steve's telling of the history of the building and its standing amongst the Bywater community really touched us in a way that made the resilience of the building and the surrounding community something we very closely related to. Stefanie, Capulet's event coordinator, is absolutely stellar and super-responsive, and although Chef Pony Schwartz stepped in mid-way through the planning phase, her creativity in crafting a super unique menu with us was probably the most fun of it all. The organization, execution and overall delivery of our wedding day was nothing short of magical, and we have Steve, Stefanie, Pony and the rest of the Capulet crew to thank for hosting what was not only one of the most important days of our new life together, but words cannot express the gratitude and appreciation we have for their patience and graciousness with us every step of the way. Last of all, the pricing structure can't be beat and was worth every penny. Seriously, do yourself a favor and check out Capulet and get to know Steve and his wonderful staff there. It's an absolute gem, in a low-traffic area and a gorgeous part of what can be considered true New Orleans. We consider them part of the family now, and look forward to seeing them again the next time we pay NOLA a visit in our travels!

Words can hardly explain how perfect the Capulet was for us for our June '24 wedding! Stefanie and Steve were so easy to work with and we had such an enjoyable experience during the entire planning period! Although our wedding day was rainy, the plan B of getting married inside the venue was even more gorgeous than I could of imagined! Our guests have complemented our wedding so much and have stated it was the best venue they have ever been to! I AGREE! Chef Pony helped us create an amazing menu!! Our guests also loved the food :) I could not recommend the Capulet more. A New Orleans gem!

Steve and his team were absolutely fantastic throughout the wedding planning process and especially on the night of. The team was organized, responsive and truly cared about our experience and that of our guests. Our guests could not stop talking about the food, even weeks/months afterwards. Truly, could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding night!

We got married here in June 2024 and it was an absolute pleasure working with the Capulet team. Steve and Stefanie were calm and organized, highly flexible when it came to working with us on the unique and quirky elements we wanted to make the wedding feel like us and overall just good, kind people. Additionally, the space is spectacular -- our guests all commented on how beautiful it was and everyone even liked the rooftop for the ceremony despite the heat. I couldn't imagine a better experience for a wedding -- highly, highly recommend.

Julia and I had the perfect wedding day and Capulet was a major reason for it. Steve and Stefanie were both super helpful during the planning process and wedding day. The work they put in as well as the whole staff was incredible and made our day even more special. The venue is gorgeous and we couldn’t have been happier. This is the perfect spot for your wedding/reception. Steve and Stefanie were on top of everything and made sure that our guests and my wife and I had the best experience!! Thank you Capulet!!

Capulet is a fantastic venue, made for a perfect wedding day for us 5/11/24! Steve and Stefanie were so responsive and helpful in planning and running the day-of, making it completely stress-free. Pony is a phenomenal chef and did an AMAZING job with our unique food requests, we got so many compliments on the food. Venue has a great vibe and guests loved the feel, no complaints at all. Highly highly recommend, they are absolute professionals and truly the best!

We recently celebrated our wedding at this amazing venue, and it was everything we hoped for and more! The rooftop space was just right for our guest count, providing an intimate yet spacious setting that made our ceremony truly beautiful. The reception area was perfect, too, offering plenty of room to dance and still have space to relax away from the dance floor and DJ. The staff was absolutely incredible—so kind and attentive. They went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly, and their hospitality really made a difference. Plus, they served delicious drinks that our guests couldn't stop raving about. And let's not forget the food—it was outstanding! They did an amazing job blending our love for Creole and Central American cuisines, creating a menu that was both unique and incredibly tasty. Overall, this venue exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized wedding experience!

We had an incredible experience working with Capulet for our wedding. Steve and Stefanie were very communicative and we loved working with Pony to design a menu that we were proud of. We got so many compliments from our friends and family about the venue, the food, the general flow of the building and how it encompassed our event. The open floor plan made the whole event feels so inclusive and the reception area is a wonderful blank slate for any decor. The rooftop made for such a sweet ceremony and we loved how the nearby church bells would ring. The second line was fantastic, passing Dr. Bob's art studio and B. Mike's gorgeous murals. I highly recommend working with Capulet to make your Nola wedding feel authentic and unique!

Planning my wedding at the capulet was very difficult and stressful process. Communication was difficult and Steve was extremely rigid and would respond sometimes by “if this doesn’t work for you I suggest you take your money elsewhere” when we would ask basic questions about the layout of space and ceremony process and scheduling the rehearsal. Stefanie was the event coordinator but he would just take over for her and she wouldn’t give much information to us unless she asked him first. He wouldn’t allow her to do her job. I would’ve taken my money elsewhere if I hadn’t already paid thousands in deposits. He would say this 4-5 months before our wedding date when we were obviously locked in. Our wedding day was met with rain so three days prior to the event I offered to rent a tent to be installed on the roof due to the fact that Steve did not really offer and suitable ceremony alternatives to host 200 guests. The company I rented the tent from quoted 1800, and due to Steve’s regulations, the price went up to 2800 for additional items for the tent. When the wedding day came he pulled the plug on a rooftop ceremony instead of waiting for the rain to pass and the rain did stop before the ceremony even started, making me waste $3000 on the tent and chairs I rented. If he would have waited 15 minutes, it would’ve been absolutely clear. My vendors were forced to break everything down and bring it to the main room with a 30 minute notice. He did not offer any solutions like extending time or flipping the room and my guests had to stand. The inability to communicate or bend to help his clients in the event that is out of our control was devastating. Also he was extremely rude to my wedding planner when she tried to come up with an alternative plans and my vendors told me he was extremely difficult to work with. He will nickel and dime you for everything for absolutely no reason. I will say the staff was great and helpful and sweet to my guests. The reception was fun and beautiful but Steve will make the process extremely painful and difficult. I understand that no one can control the weather but in our efforts to fix it, he allowed me to spend the money only to waste it and offered no solutions or financial break (when we already paid him $25000+). Also please note that he only allows the vendors about 2.5 hours to set up the venue. I believe this is due in part that he allows other brides to come in to rehearse before their wedding. Which is fine, however during our rehearsal he all but kicked us out the door when we hit the 1 hour mark and was extremely rude to my wedding planner who was doing her best. Besides him, the space is beautiful and the drinks were great but I give all the credit to my vendors for making the day special. I was a panicked mess the week before my wedding because of his rigidity and cried before I walked up the isle due to him.

Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! We had around 215 guests and it was big enough to accommodate everyone but small enough that had all our guests on the dance floor and/or conversing with each other. The cocktail hour on the roof was also perfect! And the food…SO. GOOD. Communication throughout the entire wedding planning process was easy. Everyone there was so accommodating and I thank y’all for the best wedding reception. -Kelly & Meghan

Wow. The Capulet was a magnificent place to have my ceremony and reception. The owner is easy to work with and the staff did an excellent job all around! Service was just incredible. My guests had an amazing time and could not stop commenting on how good the food was! The space itself is beautiful on its own. Of course I added my own wedding decor but did not need much. THANK YOU Capulet for making my day so special <3

Capulet was excellent to work with from start to finish! As with any big event, there were some bumps along the way, but all in all, we could not be happier with this venue. I'm a bullet point thinker, so I'm also going to review that way. COMMUNICATION: Capulet staff were quick to respond, clear in their communication, always amiably willing to answer my questions, and just all around nice folks. PACKAGE DEAL: Capulet has a great benefit of offering venue space (both indoor and outdoor), a great deal of furniture, catering, and even DJ services all in house. Honestly, we COULD have done the whole evening without renting a thing, but we chose to embellish a bit. VIBES: This venue is certainly a vibe, and one that we found to be quite charming. The industrial warehouse look of the Bywater paired with the vintage furniture and potted plants was rockin'. We loved it. LOCATION: Similar to above, the location for this venue is just downright cool. Conveniently located to lots of local hotspots and super walkable, but also adjacent to lots of street parking. CRISIS MANAGEMENT: When we found out the day before our event that the parking lot we had been planning for for over a year was no longer an option, Capulet handled the situation with excellent crisis remediation skills. They clearly communicated the issue and came to the table with potential backup solutions. CONTACTS: The folks at Capulet know a lot of other folks in the business. This may seem like a strange pro, but we found it to be a HUGE benefit that everybody (Capulet staff and outside vendors) already knew each other and how to work together. Could not recommend them enough. Can't wait to go back for a more chill evening in the future.

We loved every minute of our wedding and reception at Capulet! The staff is phenomenal and really made us feel taken care of on our special day. The planning process went smoothly. We loved that we were able to book a versatile venue, delicious food, and superb drinks all in one vendor. The venue is spectacular and our guests LOVED the rooftop and downstairs spaces. I highly recommend getting married at Capulet. Shout out to Steve and Stefanie for the excellent service!

We threw a Welcome Dinner on 2/17/24 at Capulet and could not have been happier with this venue. First, the communication with Steve and his team was clear, straightforward and timely. We were provided with a very detailed breakdown of the costs with estimates which was spot on, allowing us to budget accordingly. They have a communication portal for all communication, assuring that the Capulet team, our party planner, and any other key people/vendors were on the same page. As far as the actual execution, we had rave reviews from our guests about the food and the overall vibe of the space. Steve went out of his way to accommodate my vision of having a gospel choir as part of the entertainment. He not only connected me with a top notch choir master, he purchased more portable microphones on the day of the event as we already had a jazz trio for the event that were using the existing sound equipment and microphones. The fact that Capulet also provides a sound system within their dossier of all available furniture and equipment was exceptionally helpful for budgeting and eliminated one more headache of having to rent those items. We loved their existing chairs, tables and lounging areas with couches/sitting areas--all added to the overall cool vibe of the space. Depending on the number of people, you'll likely need to rent additional chairs, tables, etc. The list of vendors provided to us was also very helpful as we were organizing/planning the event from out of state. As the mother of the groom who planned the event, we were thrilled and cannot be more emphatic about the excellent customer service of Capulet. You are sure you have a beautiful event if you choose this event space.

Our wedding at Capulet was perfect! Our guests loved the venue and the food was incredible. The team at Capulet was extremely accommodating, making for an amazing event. One of the best pre-wedding experiences was tasting the amazing food options from Chef Jack. He took the time getting to know what we liked most and how to best accommodate our guests. Another highlight was getting to taste each wine that was available for the event. We highly recommend Capulet for any event due to their welcoming, inclusive environment.

Capulet was the PERFECT venue for a wedding. The space fully transforms into whatever you envision. The rooftop is an amazing spot for a ceremony or cocktail reception - especially during sunset. Steve, Stefanie and their team are so helpful in all of the planning process and are so open to all ideas. They work with you to plan every detail of the day and recommend amazing vendors as well. I can't recommend Capulet enough!!

Nestled in the vibrant heart of New Orleans' Bywater district, Capulet on Dauphine was a DREAM venue to work with for our March 2023 wedding. The venue is a spacious, modern-industrial design, which provides the perfect canvas for a celebration. What our other vendors could do with the space was mind-blowing. One of the most remarkable aspects was the spacious venue, from the upstairs rooftop and the mezzanine for additional seating to the ample room for dancing to DJ Mikey's mixes, ensuring that guests could revel in the joy of the occasion without feeling cramped. (The one downside is there is no elevator access to the roof, so it's not great for folks with disability concerns.) What truly set Capulet apart was its dedicated team, led by Steve and their amazing Chef. Their professionalism and commitment to making dreams a reality were evident from the outset. They were transparent about pricing and welcomed our request with open arms, offering guidance and support every step of the way. It also rained off and on on our wedding day, and they were so nimble up until the last minute of our ceremony, moving floral arrangements and seating down from the rooftop to the dance floor when we realised an inside ceremony was the best decision. Their responsiveness, openness, and attention to detail spoke volumes about their dedication to crafting unforgettable experiences. Also… THE FOOD! Our guests were half from the South and half from London, England, and they all could not stop talking about (even months later) how incredible the food was. One refrain we have consistently heard is that this was THE BEST wedding food people have ever had and how friendly and quick the bar staff was. Major kudos to Chef Chris and Chef Jack and their team. One of our high-priority criteria was to support vendors who champion and put money in the pockets of LGBTQ+ people, women, and minorities. Capulet embraces diversity and actively supports these communities. There are so many stresses and hidden costs when it comes to wedding planning. With Capulet and Steve, you don't have to worry about any of that. I recommend the Capulet to anyone looking for a unique venue and wanting something different from the standard New Orleans food packages. We loved it so much that we're considering having a five-year anniversary at the Capulet just so we can eat, drink, and dance there again!

My daughter's wedding was at Capulet in November 2023. What a PERFECT choice! It was the exact vibe the couple wanted and the food was outstanding! Steve and his staff worked to create a successful, seamless event. They offered lots of add ons to help us put together exactly what we wanted. We did some fun things with late night food options and desserts. Ceremony was on the rooftop, did a second line around the neighborhood (SO MUCH FUN!) and had about 130 people for the reception with a live, 10 piece band. (DPLAY - who I highly recommend). The buffet ran very smoothly and there was a ton of food. All in all, I wouldn't have changed a thing!! It was magical. Thank you to Steve, Chef Jack and the staff at Capulet for making the wedding an enormous success!!!

You know that saying: "when you know, you know?" Well, I guess it applies for both your spouse, AND your reception venue! My husband and I were on a quest to find a space that would feel authentic New Orleans, with modern-industrial space and plenty of room to DANCE. Capulet provided all of the above, AND a great bar, AAAANNNDDD an incredible Chef & Kitchen team that helped bring our dream Wedding Reception to life! Working with Steve, Stefanie & Jack was an awesome experience. From the very start, they were realistic and open with us on pricing and availability, and gave us the freedom to do our research before making final decisions on anything. They were open to hearing out and finding compromises on all of our ideas, and even offered to help us with a special surprise involving someone very important to us. Additionally, it was a goal for us to primarily support LGBTQ & Women-Owned business as often as possible, and we are so proud to have been able to support Steve & the team at Capulet. Even though you'll see so many photos of Capulet online, you & the Capulet team can and will absolutely create your one-of-a-kind dream design, just as you'd hope it would be. Go check out the Capulet - you will not be disappointed!!

We cannot say enough positive things about Capulet! We fell in love with the space almost instantly. Their chef, Jack, was wonderful! We had the best time discussing all things food with him and really valued the fact that he gave his honest feedback. He put together an INCREDIBLE menu for us. Best food I have ever eaten at a wedding hands down! Their team is absolutely wonderful and make the planning process smooth, easy, and most importantly fun! They make sure that your vision comes to life and make sure that you are taken care of on your wedding day. I would recommend Capulet to everyone!

Chef Jack was incredible to work with. He nailed all the food we wanted, and we were picky. Food from Wisconsin, Peru, and Honduras is not easy to plan for all in one buffet, but he knocked it out of the park. Reception layouts were flexible, and the coordinating staff were nice to work with and helpful.

We had our wedding here in June and it was more than my husband and I could have imagined. We live in Brooklyn NY and planned the wedding remotely and the pictures and virtual tour didn't do it justice. It fit our taste and vibe perfectly. Working with Steve, his team and the chef was an exceptional experience. The menu that was created by the chef with our cultures (and allergens) in mind was perfect and got rave reviews from our guests. Highly recommend this venue and working with this team.

Our wedding was so beautiful here! Things went just about perfectly. They were super helpful in planning the menu...we basically got to pick whatever we wanted and the pricing was very reasonable. The alcohol package was great and our guests ordered craft cocktails all night. They make planning easy! I would recommend getting some sort of transport for guests after the wedding as it is a little out of the way compared to other venues The only thing we were sad about was that we did not get a box of food and cake to take home...but overall, the day was a huge success

We had our wedding reception at Capulet in May 2023. Capulet exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Steve and the team were extremely professional, helpful, and communicative throughout the whole process. Chef Jack worked closely with us to create a unique customized menu that blended our Asian heritage with New Orleans cuisine. Every dish was delicious! The bar staff demonstrated their creativity in designing our signature cocktails. The venue itself had a beautiful rooftop area and a romantic main area that was large enough to accommodate a band, dance floor, and seating for 150 guests. We would highly recommend Capulet if you are looking for a unique and memorable wedding venue in New Orleans!

We couldn't have picked a better venue for our April wedding. Steve and the Capulet team were ON POINT from the start of our planning process through the reception, very communicative and thorough. The rooftop ceremony and downstairs reception space matched our vision perfectly. Chef Jack, who seamlessly took over for Chef Chris this year, was amazing, from menu planning/sampling to executing on the big day. The bar staff performed valiantly throughout the night, serving up signature cocktails and made-to-order drinks without ever falling behind. Honestly no pain points, they deserve all the praise they get. 100% recommend.

I cannot recommend Capulet enough. We got married here on April 1st and it was PERFECT. The owner is fantastic as well as all of the staff. The venue is a great space & has plenty of areas for guests — rooftop, mezzanine, and dining room. If you are thinking about booking Capulet for your wedding, do it!!

We had our wedding at Capulet this Spring. We chose this venue because we absolutely love the Bywater neighborhood. We appreciated that there was an outdoor and indoor space that we could utilize (especially in case of inclement weather, which there wasn’t!). We also liked that the tables, chairs, lounge furniture and plants were all available for us to use rather than renting. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour on the rooftop and Reception/Dancing/Band inside. There was plenty of space for guests to dine as well as dance. We couldn’t have been more impressed with Steve and his staff. They were organized, responded quickly when we had questions and were accommodating to requests for our special day. Our guests raved about the food and we enjoyed working with Chef Chris and Chef Jack throughout the process from creating selecting our menu, scheduling a tasting and executing the evening. We look forward to visit the Capulet during our many trips to NOLA to enjoy their space again and reminisce on our special day.

I cannot say enough good things about Capulet. They helped me have the best day of my life! We had the ceremony on the roof and the reception downstairs. The space was gorgeous, drinks were excellent and the food from Chef Chris was KILLER; everyone was raving about it. I particularly loved the fried chicken bites, the lemon cream rigatoni, the vegan elotes and the skirt steak chimichurri. The menu is totally customizable and they're very flexible on accommodating allergies/dietary restrictions. I appreciate the fact that the venue is a restaurant on weekdays, so we were able to try their food before picking the venue and could tell it was good quality. I was worried that the space might look too industrial as it is a former warehouse, but actually the brick walls and wooden roof bring a warm, romantic vibe to the space. We did not have to do much in terms of decoration; the only things we brought in from outside vendors were dining chairs, tablecloths, a cake stand and the floral arrangements. Most of all, Steve was so easy to work with, so organized, a good communicator, and always answered all my questions via email promptly and in great detail. Overall, I'm very happy with this choice, and it was worth the price. For reference: the cost was $8,000 to rent the space for a peak-season, Saturday wedding; $1,000 for the ceremony; and $7,600 for staffing, an open bar and food for about 100 guests + vendors.

We had the best wedding at Capulet in November '22. Capulet provided almost everything we needed - an amazing venue (indoor and outdoor!) drinks, catering, most of the furniture, and even some lighting! From the start, Steve and his staff were extremely responsive and kept track of our multitude of questions. With all of the information flowing, it was truly amazing that they could keep on top of everything! Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was, and Chris curated the best menu we could have asked for, while working within our budget. This was a huge value for money. Can't say enough good things - please book your wedding or party here!

Absolutely GORGEOUS and dynamic space, friendly and communicative staff, and amazing service. The team at Capulet helped make our dream wedding a reality. Steve is incredibly easy to work with and organized everything to a T! Plus, the guests RAVED about the drinks all night!

Our 10/14/22 wedding at Capulet was an absolute dream thanks to Steve and Chris and the whole Capulet team. Our guests (and us) all claimed it was the best wedding they have ever been to with some of the best food they have ever had. The drinks were amazing, the venue itself is stunning, and we truly can not recommend this space and its team enough. Thank you guys!

We had such a great experience using Capulet for our reception venue. Through two postponements the Capulet folks helped us reschedule and ensure that everything remained exactly how we wanted it. The venue, of course, is absolutely beautiful and all of our guests were in awe! To cap it off, the food cooked by Capulet’s in-house chef was off the charts—some of the best food we’ve ever had and that’s saying a lot in New Orleans!

Capulet is everything and more when it comes to a wedding venue! They were the third venue we toured with and third times the charm really rung true here. We loved the versatility of the space and especially liked that we could do the whole day in one place. In my opinion the aesthetics of the venue really speak for itself. It's the perfect blank slate to make your wedding dreams become reality. The neighborhood gave off the perfect New Orleans vibe and we loved that we were able to have our wedding weekend in such a special place! We did our ceremony on the rooftop that has the must stunning views and did the reception downstairs. The whole venue was very spacious and we had plenty of room for our 120 guests + the band on the dance floor. What you don't see from the pictures are the two people behind it. Working with Steve and Chris was one of the easiest parts of our wedding planning process. Steve was so incredibly kind, answered our questions in a timely manner, and helped us stay organized throughout the process. Chris was such a joy to work with, he hand crafted our menu for the night and made sure to include our favorites with a creative twist from the chef. We got so many compliments on the food (can’t recommend the beignet’s enough!) and the venue! Steve, along with my planner, really made sure our day ran smoothly! We are forever grateful for the opportunity to work with the team at Capulet to bring our best day ever to life. If you're considering booking with them, this is your push to commit. I promise you won't regret it!

I knew before I got engaged that Capulet would be our reception location. I had a soft hold on the venue before my husband and I got engaged. I have loved Capulet since it first opened. Capulet is modern, but also has so much character of New Orleans. The space is open so we were able to do what we want with the space. It was the perfect choice for us. Steve was so helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process. He was professional and responded timely to everything. Chris curated a menu that reflected my husband and I so well. We didn't want your typical wedding menu and he understood that. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food was! We can't recommend Capulet enough!

We’re so happy we went with this venue. We loved the neighborhood and the setting, and the staff really helped to seal the deal with their amazing hospitality. Steve and Chris (the chef who created our menu) were incredible. They both really got to know our preferences and helped us feel at ease throughout the whole process. They were organized and available. The food was also outstanding. Chris personalized the menu just to our taste and it was a standout moment from the big day. Steve was also super patient and true pro, considering our ceremony ran so short that we showed up early and they were still able to accommodate. Would highly recommend.

Where do I start? Capulet was the most perfect wedding venue we could have asked for. We are a New Orleans couple who wanted to get married locally and provide a very NOLA vibe and Capulet aced it. Steve manages the event and provides amazing, detailed, and flexible service while Chris knocks it out of the park with his customizable food and drink menu. Our wedding was an absolute blast from the rooftop ceremony to the perfect indoor two-story reception venue with amazing lighting, decor, staff, and a perfect dance floor. 11/10 recommend and will forever be grateful for how perfect our wedding was here!

We booked Capulet for our wedding, and I can't say enough great things about this place! Steve and his team were absolutely fantastic to work with from start to finish. He was always so helpful, responsive, and very pleasant to work with. Chris, who oversaw all of the operation the day of our wedding also did an incredible job. Everything went perfectly. We also received numerous compliments from our guests about how great of a venue Capulet is. I'm so happy that we chose Capulet for our special day.

Steve and his team were the absolute best! They have everything a couple could ask for in a wedding venue - a unique venue (in a city with so many of them), knowledge of best layouts, and fantastic staff members. We got so many compliments on the staff, especially the bartenders, during our wedding. These super humans went above and beyond for us and we couldn't have asked for anything better.

TRULY UNFORGETTABLE!!! Capulet is an incredible venue with an even better staff. Owner, Steve, and I planned my entire wedding over email (as I came from out of state). He was quick and detailed in his responses to the 8,000 questions I asked him over a years time. On the day of the wedding he was extremely present and attentive. He has a calming energy that really helped a frantic bride out. Chef Chris (who prepared all our food and crafted our signature cocktails) is an extraordinary chef!! His technical skills, creativity and flavors are out of this world!! He would probably make the most delicious traditional steak and potato wedding plate ever, if that’s what you wanted, but I’d recommend taking advantage of his whimsical menu ideas. We had a smoked tempeh, vegan jambalaya that all our carnivorous guests are still talking about! Also, this man’s fried chicken is something magical and the hot honey chicken biscuits he made us were swoon-worthy and drool-inducing. And he even made the most banging mini stuffed picnic peppers as a passed app to honor my love of stuffed peppers. I could keep going on the food here, but there is a word limit so I’ll move on. Drinks were also outstanding with fresh ingredients like cucumber and mint and the bartenders were so friendly and sweet! All the staff members were excellent! Professional, but also fun and super supportive of the epic celebration!! The dope vibe of this place is apparent at first glance. Their furniture dossier is super cool with a ton of unique chairs, benches, bookshelves, high tops, etc… Simply can’t say enough good things about all aspects of this place and would choose this venue every time if I was a person who could afford throw monthly soirées in New Orleans.

We got married a couple weeks ago at the Capulet, and it was AMAZING. The manager, Steve, was very communicative and helpful from start to finish. Our guests are still talking about how attentive the staff was, how tasty the food was (Chris is the house chef, and he is incredibly gifted at what he does…trust me), and just how pleasant & fun the overall day was. & THE VENUE…the venue can literally speak for itself because it’s so gorgeous. I can’t thank Capulet enough for such a special and memorable experience, and I highly recommend them for your wedding/event space needs!

Capulet was the perfect wedding venue. We knew as soon as we toured, this was our space. They were great to work with throughout the planning process. We also used their in-house catering and bar. The food was AMAZING, and we loved the ease in being able to create vegan & other dishes with special diet restrictions for our guests. Our guests are still talking about how great the food was and how cool of a venue it was. Also loved the location in the Bywater neighborhood. Several of our guests drove and had no problem finding free and easy street parking.

Capulet was an absolutely perfect venue for our wedding. Steve and Chris were amazingly helpful and accommodating during the planning process. Everything went perfectly smoothly! The food was AMAZING and we got compliments all night. We wanted a non-traditional menu and Chris did not disappoint! We had cuisine from Korean, Spanish, Indian, and more. All of our friends with dietary restrictions were also thrilled with the gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian options and signage. Everything was absolutely beautiful.

If you looking to have a wedding in the Bywater, look nowhere else, Capulet is the place! Due to the pandemic and our home being in Las Vegas, we booked Capulet as our wedding venue without ever stepping foot inside. From the moment we decided on Capulet, we had no regrets. The owners are incredible, kind, and caring. They put so much love into everything they do, whether it be a facetime tour of the venue, a menu tasting, or just an email checking in. We never once doubted that they cared about our wedding day going smoothly as we did. Not to mention, the venue is breathtaking, with an industrial vibe mixed with southern charm. And the food... our wedding was 4 months ago and people are still texting us about how delicious it was!

The Capulet was a perfect venue for us! We loved the style, aesthetics and location. We had a rooftop ceremony and reception indoors. We also booked their chef Chris St. John for catering. The communication was great between all of us. Steve, the manager was professional and detailed. The food served was a-mazing! We designed a menu with the chef and did a tasting. The bar staff was great with our guests. Our day was perfect and I would not have changed a thing.

We are just so grateful that we chose Capulet for our wedding reception, everything turned out to be an absolute dream. Throughout this whole planning process both Steve and Chris were so kind, accommodating, and helpful. The venue is so gorgeous and was really the perfect place to gather with all of our loved ones. Also THE FOOD! we are so glad we were actually able to eat that night because it was incredible. All of our guests have been telling us how delicious everything was and we could not agree more.

When booking our wedding venue I was looking for a beautiful space and ease. Capulet checked both of these boxes, with fabulous in-house catering that we were able to guide ourselves and fun furniture available in the space, the need for other vendors and coordination was limited. Added bonus is that the team is just THE BEST! Everything is handled with personal care, prompt responses, and pride in what they do 🤍🤍🤍 I can’t say enough good things about Capulet!!!

First of all, Capulet is gorgeous. The exposed brick, the high ceilings, the roof deck views. Second of all, Capulet cares so much about their couples and the day that they want. We visited so many venues in New Orleans and no other place made us feel so special, singular, and heard. Steve and Chris listened to what we envisioned and helped make it happen every step of the way. We never felt like we had to follow a template or choose from a pre-determined list. Third of all, Y’ALL. THE FOOD. Chef Chris came up with a menu that had EVERYTHING we wanted and elevated it to a new delicious level. Everyone RAVED about the dinner and said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Fourth of all, the people at Capulet. From Steve and Chris to every single staff person, they took care of us and made sure we had a great time. We (the brides), our wedding party, and all our guests felt truly loved. Capulet is a magical place and we love that we can come on weeknights for dinner and feel a little piece of the magic again. Thank you to Steve, Chris, and the whole staff!

Can’t say enough about Capulet, Steve, and Chris!! We were looking to New Orleans for a destination wedding in 2020, and very quickly Capulet caught our eye. Beautiful venue with such a great feel to the space, as well as having a rooftop for ceremonies that just shines – sunsets, views of the city, gorgeous clock tower, you name it. Steve was incredibly welcoming from the start, and that drew us in to Capulet’s charm. As it is a restaurant by day as well, they offered catering services, and after one phone call with Chris, we were hooked. His excitement to explore different foods, ones that would leave guests impressed and break the mold of standard “beef, chicken, fish” menu selections, impressed us so much that stopped looking for any other food options – we were all in! We were especially thrilled that Chris wanted to include foods that were emblematic of New Orleans, without trying to put out a menu that would seem touristy. Safe to say, all of our guests raved about the menu!! Chris and team provided appetizers like crab beignets, fried green chiles, duck fat patatas bravas, and main courses of pork belly and peach mostarda, and a shrimp and grits bar! The whole Capulet team was wonderful – everyone was incredibly welcoming, flexible, and did everything to make our night truly memorable. When our wedding had to be postponed until December 2021, we knew we had made the right choice. I truly can’t imagine a better and more inclusive place to celebrate your marriage, and its all thanks to Steve, Chris, and the entire Capulet team!!

Do yourself a HUGE favor and have your wedding at Capulet. Easiest decision of the whole planning process. Steve and Chris are rockstars, the venue is stunning, the staff is amazing. Our wedding in October 2021 was an absolute dream come true thanks to the guys at Capulet. We had our ceremony at a church elsewhere, but I have also seen pictures of ceremonies and it looks amazing. We were even able to accommodate ~225 people without it feeling crazy crowded thanks to the upstairs, mezzanine level and layout that Steve helped me coordinate. The time and effort that Steve put forth with decision making, planning, organizing, sending emails, etc. was one of a kind, and I truly don't think there is a better venue/owner(s) out there. Chris helped us plan specialty cocktails that were unique, local and fun! The vibe is awesome- my husband and I walked in after touring 5 other venues, looked at each other and said ok this is it. Also, go eat and there during the week- it's yummy and Chris will make you an amazing cocktail! Get married here- you absolutely will not regret it!

Capulet was the perfect choice for my husband and I!! We loved working with Steve and Chris. They are knowledgeable, responsive, transparent, and professional. Our wedding day could not have gone more perfectly. The rooftop ceremony during sunset and the restaurant reception space was gorgeous. Everything was prepared and set up correctly the day of. The food and drinks were outstanding. We received so many compliments from friends and family on the food and generally the wedding overall! I highly recommend choosing catering with Capulet, and I also highly recommend Uncommon Camellia as your wedding coordinator. If you’re concerned about budget (I sure was), there are many ways to save money using what Capulet offers. I loved how our entire wedding was customized and not part of a standard wedding package that gets replicated every weekend like most wedding reception halls. We truly balled on a budget by choosing Capulet!

The event was beautiful, the service was great, but I do have two little things to note: 1) we were very rushed to get out the minute we had our exit. We weren’t running behind. We just wanted to pick up the few decorations we brought in, but we were certainly pushed out. 2) out of all of the venues we considered, this was definitely one of the ones that costed the most, but I chose them because it fit our aesthetic and I felt they were very honest. Many of the things we needed for the wedding were not included, unlike many other venues, so that added to the cost. But if this is not a big deal to you, I’d say go for it. I would definitely do it again. Considering this, everything else was truly wonderful. The food was delish. The owners are very relatable. The environment was gorgeous. I would highly recommend this place if you’re budget allows.

We are OBSESSED with Capulet after hosting our wedding. Steve and Chris were both amazing every step of the way. We loved having our ceremony on the rooftop at sunset then transitioning to the reception below, plus all the little nooks and mezzanine spaces tucked throughout. Steve handled all the details seamlessly, from contracts all the way to playing our wedding intro songs etc. Guests are still complimenting our food by Chef Chris and cannot believe most of it was vegan. While I was initially a little unsure about the warehouse vibe, the space was absolutely transformed into a cozy, sexy dance floor via good lighting, candles and flowers. We splurged last minute on the premium open bar package and it was worth every penny, Chris even managed to serve one of our favorite Spanish varietals. On the wedding morning I had a nervous stomach and couldn't eat and Chris made me a ginger tonic that soothed my jitters and cured my nausea. Thoughtful touches like that throughout the wedding process - accidentally a full two and a half years for us! - made us feel special and seen, not just another cog in the wedding industrial complex. I'm glad that Capulet is also open as a bar/restaurant so we can stop by during future New Orleans trips and venture down memory lane - plus enjoy their amazing cocktails and food.

Capulet really is a wonderful place to get married. I’m a wedding planner and I really have enjoyed working there. Steve was wonderful to work with, very responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process. We had to make a few changes on the spot on the wedding day and he was able to easily adapt and guide his team to make the couples wedding dreams come true (seriously, rooftop dancing in the rain and it was incredible). I would highly recommend Capulet to any of my future couples, it’s a great place to get married and a really great team to work with!

One-of-a-kind space with staff who are consummate professionals. We held our wedding welcome party here and they transformed it into a distinctive and truly special occasion.

We love everything about Capulet! The venue itself is beautiful and spacious and having the roof deck and the mezzanine available provided us with options for ceremony, reception, and places for folks to just generally relax and enjoy the wedding. Steve was amazing through all of the covid ridiculousness (our original date was May 2020!), weathering everything with understanding and flexibility, including pulling off a wonderful event just 10 days after giving the final go post Ida! Steve even secretly teamed up with my sister and husband to seamlessly pull off a surprise flash mob! The food by Chef Gavin and the service staff were amazing (multiple people told us it was the best wedding food they had ever had!) and the bar set up by Chris and the Capulet team were top notch. We are so very happy we were able to have our wedding there!

The Capulet was a wonderful venue for our October wedding! They were incredibly helpful during the entire process. The rooftop is a perfect place for a scenic New Orleans ceremony along the sunset! The food was delicious and they easily accommodated every weird request so that we had a taste of everything we love, even gyros! And even after the event we realized we left a cake stand that we rented, which they promptly shipped for us at their own expense! Highly recommend the Capulet for a perfect New Orleans Bywater experience!

My fiance and I got engaged in May of 2020 and we knew we wanted a wedding in New Orleans (we live in CA). We looked online at lots of venues but there was something about Capulet that really stood out! We did a tour of the venue over FaceTime with Steve and we were sold! We actually didn't see the venue in person until March of 2021 and it was better than we imagined. The food is absolutely incredible and the staff is awesome. Our guests said it was one of the best weddings they had been to! HUGE thank you to Steve, Chris, and the team and we can't recommend Capulet enough!

This was the very first venue that we looked at when my husband & I started wedding planning, back in January 2020. Honestly, we looked at a few other places after but none of them stood a chance! Haha. We instantly had a great feeling abt it not only because of the space but because of the staff/owners. Steve and Chris were such a great team to work with when it came down to how/what we wanted the wedding day to look/feel/be like. Also, having our wedding at a venue that was super LGBTQ+ inclusive was a huge bonus for us being a gay couple. From our specially curated food menu/ open bar/ ceremony/ reception service, we are still getting compliments about the food/custom drinks almost 2 weeks later. LOL! The rooftop is perfect for a ceremony (weather permitting) but even though we had a few rain clouds on our special day, the Capulet team helped out so much with a backup rain plan indoors as well as cleaning off the rooftop if we still wanted to have it outside. The indoor space is so huge & open with tons of natural light but also looks great at night with just candles on the banquet tables and mood lighting provided by Capulet. We honestly could not have chosen a better space to have our wedding. All of our guests had an amazing night & we would definitely recommend Capulet to any future couples (especially LGBTQ+) looking for a great venue to host their special day!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Steve, Chris, and Capulet. From the very start, they were responsive, patient, and beyond accommodating. The menu Chris created for us was incredible — our guests absolutely raved about it. The venue itself is so gorgeous; we got tons of compliments and the pictures are just beautiful. Booking this venue for our ceremony and reception is by far the best decision we could have made for our wedding, and we are so grateful to both the owners and the entire staff of Capulet!

We used Capulet for our wedding ceremony & reception. They were fantastic and the space was everything we wanted. Loved the look of the venue from day one! They were accommodating and professional throughout the entire planning process. Especially so during covid while planning and re-scheduling/replanning.

We loved Capulet! Capulet is an amazing event venue - We hired them to put on our wedding reception (as we were married during a small ceremony in 2020). The Wedding reception was AMAZING, planning and event logistics/options with Steve was very simple and easy. Steve was very responsive and answered all my questions on different options or ways we could approach our event! Chef Chris worked with us to create an amazing menu - Korean Cajun fusion bring both my and my husband's culture together. The food was INSANE! Everyone could not stop talking about how good all the food was - it was so good!!!! Capulet gives a highly customizable space and menu which other venues could not provide (or would provide at an expensive price point). We entered with a Second Line, had a grand entrance and still have tons of time for eating, dancing and drinking! The entire staff was warm and welcoming. We did not have a care in the world on our special day!

Just back from an amazing wedding weekend. Booking Capulet for our venue was a no-brainer before the pandemic and stress-free during thanks to this amazing staff. Bottom line: Proactive, communicative, easy to work with, and THE FOOD!! If you're looking to get married in New Orleans, you're done here. During the discovery phase Steve didn't even need to be asked before sharing pricing/information with us, and offered a tour of the space over Facetime. He and Chris were both patient with our questions where other venues totally dropped the ball. One of the biggest decisions of planning a wedding (where to have it) became the easiest. Once it became clear we'd have to move our date from November 2020 they handled that too, quickly and efficiently. Within 10 minutes we had a new date. Communicative and reassuring every step of the way, there was never a doubt that our wedding day would be beautiful and perfect no matter what. And it was! Our guests can't stop talking about the beautiful space and how much they loved the bartenders and the drinks. We cannot thank the staff enough for hosting us and making this wedding one for the books!

Capulet is not only an amazing venue, but it has the best staff. We got married in May 2021, and they were so helpful and communicative through all of the changes going on. The day of, we had full faith in the team there to keep everything moving smoothly, and they 100% delivered. Thank you to Steve, Chris, and the rest of the Capulet team for helping give us the best day ever!

We got married at Capulet in April 2021. Steve was so helpful throughout all of the changes due to the pandemic. He was friendly and professional and so accommodating when we had concerns and new ideas. Chris was curated an amazing signature cocktail for us, and the menu was perfect for all of our guests. We received so many compliments on the food and service. It rained the day of, but the indoor ceremony was still gorgeous in their intimate space with uplighting. At the last minute when the rain broke, they had no problem moving the bar and party upstairs to the roof deck. We plan on going back to have dinner as they open back up as a restaurant!

Capulet is AMAZING!!! There are not enough kind things I can say about Chris and Steve and their team. They were so wonderful throughout the planning process (which was a lot due to covid). They made me feel heard and safe the entire time we were planning. Our wedding was canceled due to covid restrictions 10 days before the ceremony, and Chris and Steve worked to create an offsite wedding for us that was truly magical! They took most of the stress away from re-planning and brought the party to my parents' house for our wedding. They provided amazing food (seriously, 3 months later and my family is still talking about the brussels sprouts), really great service, and made our day perfect. I so wish we would've gotten to use the beautiful venue space that they have, but the team at Capulet is worth it, even if you have to have a wedding somewhere else! I am so grateful to them for the day they were able to give us.

Our tiny pandemic wedding was absolutely PERFECT at Capulet. Steve is so cool, calm, collected and knowledgable he made planning during an uncertain time completely stress free. From the initial tour to the day of, Steve handled everything with incredible professionalism! Chef Chris is completely unbelievable when it comes to food. He impressed our guests with his authentic tasting renditions of niche cultural foods from around the globe and everyones minds were BLOWN. Capulet will now be one of our favorite places ever and we are so honored to have been able to share it with our guests!

Steve and Chris have managed to create the perfect wedding venue. They are thoughtful and so eager and accommodating. A bride's dream team to work with! And the food... DELICIOUS! Chris is a mastermind in the kitchen. I toured the venue originally over FaceTime and I fell in love. Seeing it in person a few months later only reaffirmed that we'd made the right choice. Their prices are competitive and their team is first class. If Capulet is available for your wedding date - consider yourself lucky!

We booked Capulet for our wedding before the world went crazy based off of the gorgeousness of this place but mainly from the amazing people who work there. We love in California and after some emails and one FaceTime we fell in love, and knew this had to be our venue! The staff here was amazing before you know a global pandemic that may of happened in the year 2020 and oh my goodness they somehow were even more amazing, calm, cool, and collective during all of it! They were so helpful and always staying in communication with us, giving us so many options and just letting us know they were
