Felicity

Felicity was wonderful to work with! Chris and the team are fabulous! We loved every minute of our reception at Felicity! We celebrated on all three floors! Our guests are still raving about the venue and how wonderful and unique it was!

From the moment we walked into Felicity Church we knew it would be perfect for our ceremony. Chris has a pleasant and friendly demeanor that instantly made us feel welcome. Our ceremony was flawless and we have the most beautiful memories and photos in this historic venue. I

Felicity is PERFECTION! We had both our ceremony and reception there; the flip was flawless! Not many venues host both ceremony and reception while remaining indoors. Who needs to stress about weather on top of everything else!? Every inch of Felicity is STUNNING, our guests were blown away! There is timeless beauty and reverence throughout, and the sanctuary feels intimate and grand all at the same time. Chris is incredible to work with and quick to respond to any and all questions. He knows and loves his venue: a well oiled machine with a personal touch! Oh! And Black Pearl Catering is delicious, so one less vendor to research!

Absolutely amazing and gorgeous venue! Chris was fantastic to work with—he went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and made our wedding day absolutely flawless. We 1000% recommend Felicity Church to any couple looking for a truly special place to tie the knot!

My wife and I couldn’t have picked a better venue to have our reception at. Chris Jones made the whole experience as seamless as possible with no added stress. If I could give this review more stars I would!!!

We held our rehearsal dinner/ welcome reception at Felicity Church which was my husband's favorite event of the weekend. The stained glass windows, wood beams and brick walls make for a beautiful and moody ambiance. We hosted 120 guests for a seated buffet upstairs and moved downstairs for our cocktail style welcome reception. A second bar in the courtyard helped to spread out our guests and take advantage of the added space that is well light with festoon lights and elegant mobile planters. Chris was quick to respond and easy to work with. What a stunning venue for a wedding but I cannot recommend it enough for a rehearsal dinner/ welcome reception too.

UnBELIEVABLE. We were a little iffy about spending more than we planned on a venue but i literally could not explain to you how perfect this turned out to be. Worth every penny. Chris is a dream to work with and is such an expert when it comes to putting these events together. I had zero worries showing up that day that everything would be put together and it was even better than i could have imagined. The venue had our guests in awe. If you’re even thinking about Felicity, do it!!

Felicity Church was my dream venue. It is historic, beautiful, and timeless. Chris was fantastic to work with. He was really attentive to us and gave us some awesome recommendations to make our day perfect. I highly recommend this venue to anyone, even if you're not in the New Orleans area. Not only do they have an amazing online tour but Chris offered to facetime us to show us the place. It is a gorgeous location for pictures and a fantastic venue all around. Thanks for everything! -Amanda and Arianna

Felicity Church was hands down one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding in April 2022. Chris was super helpful throughout the entire planning process and the wedding day. We started planning our wedding in January 2021 and booked the venue without my now husband able to see it. Chris was able to arrange a tour with my parents and my now husband when we were down there visiting a few months later, and was always willing to answer any questions we had. Felicity is such a unique and gorgeous venue. We had our cocktail hour outside in the side courtyard and first floor, and then did our ceremony and reception on the second floor. The light through those stain glass windows was just magical, and Felicity Church also provides a perfect location for a second line around the park nearby. I would recommend it to anyone planning a wedding in New Orleans.

The most perfect location for a ceremony. It's old world beauty is breathtaking and the entire FC team was over the top helpful in making sure our big day went smoothly. I always had my eye on an outdoor ceremony but this church brought me in (literally). Yet, with all the windows and beautiful light, it still feels like your outside. The place is truly breathtaking. The pictures show it's beauty but it doesn't do it justice. It truly is a special place.

CHRIS(!!) is the reason why hosting your ceremony at Felicity Church is the best decision you could ever make for your wedding. He was by far the most attentive, hands-on, knowledgable and helpful vendor we used (aside from our lovely planner, of course) pre-booking, post-booking and during our ceremony. The venue is beautiful (our pictures speak for that) and he and his wife did such an amazing job restoring it, but ultimately, the experience we had working with him was what is the most memorable. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Chris!

My husband and I got married at Felicity Church this past fall, and I cannot recommend it enough. The church itself is absolutely stunning which meant we did not have to do much decorating. So many people commented on the lovely natural light that shone through the stained glass behind the alter during our ceremony - it was almost magical. I also loved being able to have both the ceremony and reception. The location was also perfect - easily accessible for guests staying anywhere in the city. In case those weren't enough reasons to love Felicity, Chris (the owner) is AMAZING!! Communication with him was a breeze throughout the whole process. He diligently made sure everything was taken care of to ensure we had a great experience & wedding day. Seriously. I cannot recommend this venue enough. You will not regret having your wedding or any other important event at Felicity Church.

Felicity is absolutely beautiful & the owner, Chris, is amazing! He's hands-on throughout the entire planning process & will make sure your day is everything you've ever dreamed of (& more!). He's super responsive and patient. Chris was my go-to guy for just about everything up until our wedding day. We absolutely ADORE Chris & Felicity!

If we could give Felicity Church 10000 stars we would! The venue itself is stunning. Chris and his whole team at Felicity made wedding planning fun and easy, working seamlessly with all of our vendors and with our coordinator. The flip between our ceremony and our wedding took less than 45 minutes making Felicity the perfect venue for any couple who wants to have all of their wedding activities in one place. There are not enough kind words to describe how perfect our wedding was, how great Chris and his team were or how highly we would recommend Felicity Church for your wedding! Marianna & Stephen

I am SO happy we went with Felicity for our ceremony and reception. The space is just magical and fit our vision perfectly! The room flip from ceremony to reception went off without a hitch! All our guests were so impressed! Chris was fabulous the whole way but really was amazing in organizing everyone through our rehearsal and wedding day. He even sent us all his BTS pictures and videos he got throughout the big day. No regrets booking Chris and the Felicity Church-- they made our day unforgettable!!

Stop looking because this is your venue! Felicity church is stunning! Chris, the owner of the venue, is absolutely incredible to work with. When me and my (now) husband went to see the venue, we were blown away by the beauty of the church, but there was a bonus, Chris. He made all our dreams come true and made it look effortless. I am so fortunate that we had the opportunity to get married at Felicity. If you get the chance to have any event at this venue, take it! You will not regret it.

There’s not a better venue or team to trust with your wedding day than Chris and Jess at Felicity Church. The church is absolutely stunning (in person and in pictures, it’s jaw-dropping) and Chris is invaluable. He is extremely knowledgeable, was able to answer every question (even ones we didn’t think to ask), was professional, reliable, and just had our backs through the whole process. We had the best experience and know others will, too! Book Felicity, you will not regret it!!

Felicity church was truly the venue of my dreams. It was love at first sight from the first time I saw their Instagram — long before I met my now-husband. It was the only venue we visited because, luckily, it was love at first sight for him, too! Every detail is beautiful. Photo opportunities are endless and the feeling you get inside is just magical. The layout was perfect for us to have both our ceremony and reception there (we did a secondline around the neighborhood while the vendors “flipped” the space, which I highly recommend!) All of my expectations were exceeded and I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful the owner, Chris, was to work with. He was incredibly helpful; always willing to offer guidance and advice wether it be regarding the venue, vendors who have worked well there in the past, or really anything at all. I look forward to my next excuse to visit Felicity Church!

We could not have picked a better wedding venue. Chris was so amazing and easy to work with from day one. Always quick to respond and answered every question we had. The venue itself has so much history, charm, and personality that it speaks for itself. All of our guests told us how beautiful it was. Highly recommend booking them!! You won’t regret it

Two and a half months have passed since our wedding and I am still in awe. I don't think we would have had the same experience anywhere other than Felicity Church. It was perfect. The flow of our event was seamless - starting with a 6pm ceremony, followed by cocktail hour downstairs, while the upstairs was flipped for the reception. Chris was always available to answer any questions and ease concerns. Between Chris and our other amazing vendors, I was calmer than I ever would have imagined on my wedding day because I knew we were in good hands. Huge thanks to Felicity for everything! Couldn't imagine having had our wedding anywhere else!!

Could not have imagined a better venue or working with better people getting married here this past year and this is not hyperbole! The way the same room can deliver two unique and magnificent ambiances is unmatched. I cannot recommend this place more strongly!

My wife and I had our micro wedding at Felicity Church. The space itself is absolutely stunning with beautiful stain glass windows that glow magically when the sun shines through them. Felicity's architecture makes for some of the best wedding photos we have seen. The owner Chris was super helpful and answered all our questions. It was the easy and stress free for us. We would highly recommend Felicity Church. Thank you for having us!

The owner Chris was absolutely amazing. He was great to work with. I got so many compliments on my gorgeous venue. Being able to have my dogs included in part of our ceremony was so important to me. What is better than having a Catholic wedding, inside a beautiful church with my dogs there and a second line band?! Nothing! Felicity church was the venue of my dreams and it exceeded my expectations.

Chris Jones and crew at Felicity Church were absolutely amazing. The gorgeous eye-candy that is the church building speaks for itself. But it's the thoughtfulness, professionalism, dedication, and genuine enthusiasm that really elevate Chris and his team to the next level. We felt as if a close relative was helping us plan and oversee our wedding; both of our parents assumed that Chris was a very close friend of ours from way back. Chris had amazing recommendations, was approachable and available for calls, and made us feel at ease from day 1 of planning. About 90% of our guests flew in from California (our wedding was in April 2022), and they are STILL talking about our wedding, most of them saying it was the best wedding they've ever attended. We had both the wedding ceremony and reception at the church, and it was PERFECT. In fact, many of our guests have recommended that we plan a 1 year anniversary party at Felicity. Who knows?.... :)

Nothing to add that hasn't already been said. Chris is a pro and a pleasure to work with (especially through 3 covid postponements). The venue is beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding.

Felicity Church was absolutely stunning! It was everything we could have hoped for and more. Chris, the owner of Felicity was extremely helpful. He was prompt to answer any questions, jump on a call or recommend vendors and ideas. He is the definition of professional and fun. If you are looking for a place to have your ceremony and reception that is historic, beautiful and fun, look no further than Felicity Church. The only other thing we wanted more of is time there to party. We loved Felicity and everything about it and all of our guests raved about it as well. We could not have been happier!

Felicity Church is a magical space. We are so glad we chose it for our wedding ceremony! When we saw the church we immediately knew it was the place we wanted to have for our wedding ceremony. The stained glass windows and the beautiful history of the church shined through. Chris and his wife have done a great job keeping the bones and history of this church intact and have created such a warm space for others to enjoy. It's just a space that feels so special in so many ways. Chris was a joy to work with and he is the ultimate professional who is so knowledgable about weddings! He gave us great recommendations from vendors and ways that we could save money to fit our budget. We appreciated all of his advice on what would work with the flow of the wedding and he made us feel so comfortable that everything would get taken care of and go smoothly on the day of. His communication with us leading up to and on the wedding day was better than perfect. He also did a great job keeping everything on track for our rehearsal and on the day of! This place created so many wonderful memories for us and I definitely want to attend an event here some time in the future. Thank you Chris for making our day so special!

On top of being the prettiest of venues, Felicity Church is the perfect spot for a wedding, and we couldn't be happier that we were married here! Chris runs the smoothest of operations, and is so helpful and knowledgeable about the ins-and-outs of what makes a fantastic celebration and party. The upstairs flip while our guests enjoyed the cocktail hour was flawless, and we literally can not think of a single thing that was out of place or could be improved. My husband and I cannot thank Chris enough for such a beautiful day!

My husband and I chose Felicity Church for our destination wedding venue. We pretty much knew this was the venue we were going to book, but after meeting Chris and seeing the venue in person, we sealed the deal. It was the most beautiful evening, and we appreciate everything Chris and his team did to make our day special.

Great venue that brings that perfectly rustic church vibes. Chris is a great host that makes sure everything is taken care of and will flow seamlessly

Felicity Church is THE PERFECT venue!! It is such a magical place. To be honest, prior to getting engaged I had mentioned to my now husband I wanted to get married in New Orleans (we are from CA). I had already started looking at places and Felicity Church was actually my first choice! Then fast forward to actually being engaged we originally chose an outdoor location to be our Plan A, yet due to Hurricane Ida causing damage we went with our backup indoor location which was Felicity Church! And I truly think it was meant to always be Felicity Church for our wedding! We had an an intimate elopement, and I couldn't have asked for a better location to get married at, I can't be any more grateful to have been married at this place. Chris the manager, was super friendly and nice, professional, quick to respond to emails, and provided plenty of info for us for using the church. He was so great! Felicity Church was just amazing, the beauty of it in general, the lighting, architecture, and the ambiance of the space. It was the perfect backdrop for our wedding photos. Just from our wedding preview photos we have gotten so many compliments of how gorgeous the church looks. We still follow Felicity Church on Instagram and recommend that to others as well! We love Felicity Church and it will truly hold a special place in our hearts! We would absolutely recommend this space to anyone and everyone, and if we were ever able to have another event here we absolutely would. I cannot describe enough how great Chris and Felicity Church. This is definitely the place to get married!!

Felicity Church!! I will attempt to sum up what so many other happy brides have already shared. This venue is so perfect for a wedding for a number of reasons, the first being that venue manager is a dream to work it. Chris is so accommodating and professional that he makes the planning within in the space a breeze. Not to mention he is beyond dog friendly, to the point that if he finds out you have a dog, he will try and find a way to have your four-legged friend involved in some way just so he can he can pet them. We were married upstairs in the church, then had a cocktail hour downstairs while we mingled and got started on small bites, then we headed back upstairs where the whole space was transformed into the most beautiful reception area I had ever seen. I would strongly recommend doing the ceremony and reception here, especially if you are coming from out of town, because it eliminates the stress of finding transportation in between ceremony and reception and makes for a longer, more intimate evening. Another one of my favorite parts about this venue is that is a full functioning kitchen so that your catering team will be totally set. I prefer this option to in house catering because I find that when you book somewhere that has in house catering you are really compromising on quality as far as food goes. New Orleans has so many incredible caterers that this option lends you to the best of both worlds. It's also centrally located and one of the best locations in town that allows you to easily get to the Quarter or Uptown depending on where your guests are staying or where they might want to go later in the night to keep the party going. Overall I can't recommend Felicity enough.

Felicity Church was an absolute dream venue for us. Not only was the building and finishing beautiful but it held sentimental value for my husband. The aged cathedral look with stained glass gave us the perfect ambiance. Thanks so much to Chris Jones over at Felicity for helping us along the way in our planning. He was very responsive and informative to all of our emails (quite a few to be frank). All in all it was a great experience and we would totally recommend this venue for your wedding, rehearsal dinners or anything else!

Felicity Church was incredibly accommodating and helpful as we worked to reschedule our covid post-poned wedding. We are so thankful for all of Chris’ help and how understanding he was through out the entire process! My partner and I eventually eloped and it was the most perfect day with Chris making sure that everything went smoothly even for our tiny elopement. I can’t recommend Felicity Church enough!!

Felicity Church was the perfect venue for our wedding and I'm confident it'll be your dream venue too! The stairs, the loft, the sanctuary, the room flip, the lighting - just everything is ideal and customizable to suit your needs. Chris is a great resource and connected me to my wedding coordinator at the last minute due to cancellations elsewhere. His service mindset will couple well when you reach out to ask questions, or need referrals, or have a "bright idea."

Such a beautiful venue. Chris is super easy to work and communicate with. You can tell that he has been around the block and really does a great job coordinating. He's also a dog lover so they do allow your fur babies to celebrate with you too! We hope to go to more events at the Felicity Church soon!

From the very first moment we stepped foot in Felicity Church, I knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. The space is absolutely beautiful and has several unique touches. It’s amazing how you can have a beautiful church ceremony and then the same space can be flipped to the perfect reception venue. It truly is the best of both worlds. The owner, Chris, is equally as great! He was so helpful in the planning process and the day of the wedding. He has great recommendations of other vendors to use (planners, caterers, etc). He takes a lot of pride in the church and it truly shows. I can’t say enough great things about Chris and Felicity Church! Our wedding guests were stunned at how beautiful the venue was and how neat it was to have our entire event in the church!

We got married at felicity on 1/18/20 it was absolutely amazing!! We had about 160 people total it was perfect! Every single guest complimented the venue food and decor. I was an out of town bride and Chris(the owner) was super helpful with EVERYTHING! We just got our wedding pictures back and look back on the day with such joy. We have not one single complaint! Everything went as smooth as could be. Thank you again felicity were so happy with our decision!

Felicity Church is so special to us- we were able to actually see it before, during, and after its incredible renovation. Our wedding was about 250 people- we had both the ceremony and reception at the church. It was truly amazing- from my mom officiating, to the second line, to the food. Don’t know where to start in the planning process? Chris ( the owner) has great recommendations for everything. Our family and friends from all over the country talk about how special our day was, and we couldn’t agree more.

We recently had our wedding reception at Felicity Church. Chris was an incredible person to work with. The space itself is already so beautiful, and Chris’ expertise and advice on the layout/decor and vendor recommendations made the reception absolutely perfect. Chris was more than accommodating, and we were able to tour the venue multiple times before the reception with Chris going above and beyond answering all of our questions each time.

Felicity Church is a truly wonderful and unique venue. We got married there (ceremony and reception) in May 2019 and everything was so perfect! Our ceremony lasted about half an hour and then everyone went downstairs to the indoor/outdoor area for a cocktail hour with passed hors d'oeuvres while the sanctuary upstairs was "flipped" into our reception space, then dinner was served! Chris and Jess are truly wonderful hosts and they really know how the space works best (down to the table and bar set ups). We picked this space specifically for the absolutely gorgeous architecture (which Chris and Jess designed/did themselves!). The space is so elegant and is stunning even without a lot of decorations. But adding a personal touch (we did flower arrangements) really makes it pop! The afternoon/evening light is GORGEOUS, and our photos are truly stunning thanks to Felicity's beautiful bones. Chris and Jess are so gracious and are very supportive of the weddings that are hosted here. For example, one of our ingredients for our specialty cocktails was lots in the mix from family dropping it off to the start of the reception and Chris had some at his own house (which is nearby) that he lent to the bartenders so that our night went off without a hitch. We also planned our wedding from out of state, and Chris was awesome in helping us with various things (he even FaceTimed us for a tour so that we could really envision the space with our set up). We recommend Felicity Church to everyone that we know! We still follow Felicity Church on Instagram and recommend that to others as well! We love to see the other unique weddings that they host there and following on IG also helped us to get ideas for our own wedding. We love Felicity Church and it will truly hold a special place in our hearts!

The Felicity was absolutely amazing venue for us. From day one Chris made sure that he was involved in helping make our day extra special. He truly loves what he does and made sure all our needs were met. He also provides a list of preferred vendors that helps that helped us narrow down catering, flowers, music, etc. Because of this, he and our vendors worked seamlessly together because they had a previously well established relationship. We did both our ceremony and reception at the Felicity with a cocktail hour downstairs while they flipped the space. The amounts of compliments we received on how gorgeous the space was has not stopped and we are two months removed from our wedding. The space provides a beautiful backdrop for photos and videos mostly because Chris has spent time on every detail down to the door handles to make the space stand out. Because the space is so beautiful, you can decorate it as much or as little as you want, which can be a huge cost saver. We would absolutely recommend this space, and have, to anyone and everyone and if we were ever able to have another event here we absolutely would.

Going into wedding planning, my husband and I knew that the right setting was essential to make the big day a success. We initially thought that we'd host our wedding in an old New Orleans mansion. We added Felicity Church to our list because it was in the exact neighborhood we wanted and it was highly recommended by a friend of mine. We toured 6 potential sites and, somewhat unexpectedly, we both fell in love with Felicity Church’s architecture and charm. We booked it for our reception on October 12, 2019. It’s been three months since our wedding and booking Felicity Church was one of the best decisions we made. First, the neighborhood surrounding the church is quintessentially New Orleans. Some of our favorite photos are from the walk through the Garden District between the ceremony and reception. Second, the church itself is beautiful. Every inch of Felicity has been lovingly restored, and all of the spaces are exquisitely maintained (a surprising number of female guests have pictures from the women’s bathroom because it’s just so gorgeous). As an added plus and we were able to get away with minimal decorations because the space and existing lighting are already so striking. Third, the indoor and outdoor spaces are wholly configurable to accommodate a variety of settings and moods. We had an intimate cocktail hour on the lower level that drifted into the courtyard around sunset. During the reception, the upper floors were perfectly arranged for conversation, dinner, and dancing. Finally, although the space was remodeled to maintain its vintage charm, it has the modern updates that matter: the full service kitchen produced some of the best food I’ve ever eaten, and the air conditioning is first class. We had two main points of contact at Felicity Church: Chris and Rachel. From the earliest conversations, up until the day after my wedding they were both delightful to work with. They were responsive throughout the planning process, and the day of the wedding they both worked behind the scenes to ensure everything was in order, all transitions were seamless, and the wedding timeline (e.g. speeches, cake cutting, and dances) happened on schedule. They are also both New Orleans natives to boot, which was personally really important to me, since I grew up in New Orleans and wanted my wedding to reflect a city I love. The final thing I want to mention—and one of the reasons I was most thankful we chose Felicity Church—is that the venue ultimately acts as a canvas to whatever wedding experience you want to create. You have the freedom to choose everything (from the caterer, to how the tables are arranged) to make it truly unique and tailored to your vision. We opted to book an extra hour and a half for our reception and hold our ceremony at another location. Chris was happy to accommodate our request. We also ended our wedding with a group sing-a-long, and the timing was not only perfect, but each of our guests had song sheets! Felicity Church was absolutely incredible from start to finish—I highly recommend it!

If you want the dreamiest church wedding you can ever imagine look no further. My mother in law has been a wedding photographer for the past 30 years and she will not stop talking about Felicity. She says it's the most beautiful wedding venue she's ever seen! Chris is alsoTHE BOMB. From day one he was always so accommodating and courteous because Lord knows I'm always late or frequently rescheduling to due a crazy work schedule. Felicity Church is worth every single penny. Everything was absolutely perfect! We would 10/10 recommend Felicity all the time, every time.

I wasn't sure what my dream wedding was when I started the planning process, but now that it's all happened – I couldn't imagine it any better without Felicity Church! Felicity Church has many things going for it, but first and foremost you can't beat the absolute beauty of the architecture and lighting here. Secondly, the owner/manager, Chris Jones, is simply the best. He is not only a super nice guy, but beyond helpful throughout the entire process. Whether I had an inquiry about the venue itself, using a particular vendor, or a random off-the-wall wedding reception question... he had wonderful, honest advice. I trusted his every word, and was not disappointed.  Although I live in New Orleans, I had out-of-state family – and a lot – that would come down and often want to do a walk-through. Chris coordinated every visit as if it was our first time. I kept thinking the first-hand attention might slack off after the contract was signed, but nope. He was on his A-game each and every visit, email, and phone call. I also realized after following their instagram account – @felicitychurchnola – that they hosts several weddings/receptions/events there in just ONE week. I don't know how he manages so many events while making you feel as if your are the only one, but he did for me!  Furthermore, the beauty of this church is unparalleled to me. The renovation of the first floor is fresh, new, clean, and an empty slate to create whatever you dream. The side courtyard is surprisingly bigger than what I'd envisioned from the photos online. You could really go wild in this space if you wanted. And then the main sanctuary is just gorgeous. I didn't want to spend a ton of our budget on masking a mediocre, or lacking venue with decorations/florals/rentals, and there is no need to here. The stained glass windows, chandeliers, hardwood floors, brick walls, and the trim/molding framing the altar are hard to beat. We took photos here before the ceremony and the daytime light through the primary-colored stained glass windows was to die for! In addition, I have to say I was most taken aback when we re-entered the venue for our reception after sunset. I never considered that I hadn't seen the sanctuary other than in the daytime, and it took my breath away. The mood of the dim lighting framed the room in the most romantic way. It really was the best of both worlds having experienced, and utilized the venue both during the day and night. I know I'm leaving out so much more detail, but in summary – you won't regret using Felicity Church. It will forever hold a special place in my hear! 5-stars • 100/A+ • Two Thumbs Up • Best-in-Show!

Felicity Church is a fantastic venue! My husband and I were married there a month ago and everything was perfect. Chris is a dream to work with-- he is so on top of his communication and helps ensure that each event goes smoothly. Our guests were totally "wowed" at the space. Most of our guests were from New Orleans and hadn't visited the space before-- they could not stop talking about how beautiful everything was. Chris also suggested that we rent the parking lot and have a shuttle to bring guests to and from the event. This was the best suggestion. Our guests were grateful for a parking lot and even more grateful to have a ride the few blocks to the church. I cannot recommend Felicity enough for your wedding or event!

We recently got married at Felicity Church and it was MAGIC! Chris was a great contact to have the full year running up to the wedding. We were able to be creative about all the vendors and customize the space however we wanted! The space is beautiful and we decided to just enhance it with candles. They had all the tables and chairs we needed, we just supplied the linens. We added an hour to ensure the ceremony was before sunset and had an awesome second line loop toward Coliseum Square Park. We went cocktail style for both cocktail hour downstairs and reception upstairs. We had about 100 guests and the space had plenty of room for 2 bars, delicious food stations, dessert table, espresso bar, photobooth in the loft, dancing (even on the stage with the DJ) etc. We have wonderful memories that we'll always treasure. Thank you, Felicity!

We had the best wedding at Felicity Church! Chris, the owner, is hands on and went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went smoothly. The price is reasonable and I liked how we had the flexibility to choose our band, caterer, bar tenders, photographer and wedding coordinator. Chris has great suggestions if you don’t already know who you want to use to fill these roles.

Chris and his family at Felicity Church were a dream to work with. Accommodating, helpful, easy to work with and definitely those who you would consider "above and beyond" what is expect. Our initial walkthrough the church was a great jumping off point to the start of a wonderful few months of planning! Chris met with us twice (once so my fiancé and I could see the venue, and again so our families could as well), he also was very responsive to emails, questions and last minute details we needed helping with! He was right there through the entire experience from helping with the rehearsal, to meeting vendors day of and even helping direct guests where to go for the ceremony and afterwards even handing out drinks for our Second Line himself. We love Felicity Church, and would get married there every anniversary if possible! We cannot thank Chris enough for making the entire wedding process a dream at this dream venue!

Felicity Church is incredible. We were married there with 250+ people in attendance. The place is simply stunning. The owners/operators, Chris and his wife, rehabbed the entire place themselves and put loving details into every portion of it. Chris is very accessible and helps with all the details of the venue and coordinating with the vendors. He also has a TON of great advice about how to make the event a success. The place is so large and with the ability to flip the event it makes it so that 250 people was not at all too packed. Couldn't recommend it more.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Felicity Church and Chris Jones. We looked at other venues, but the minute I walked into Felicity Church, I was ready to book it on the spot. The rustic charm and beautiful stained glass set it apart from other NOLA wedding spots, and the fact that we could have our wedding AND reception there made it so easy. (We had the ceremony upstairs, went downstairs for a cocktail hour, and went back upstairs after it was "flipped" for the reception!) Chris was extremely helpful and a wonderful resource - he recommended floor plans, helped the day run smoothly from behind the scenes, and was even greeting guests as they came into the church. One of the best things about this venue is that it doesn't require lots of decor - we had minimal flowers and small votive candles and it still looked amazing! Our wedding guests are still commenting on how beautiful our venue was. It was the perfect setting for our perfect day!!

Felicity is an absolutely incredible venue! My wife and I got married there this year and we couldn't be more thrilled with our decision. The church itself is a beautiful marriage of old and new - the wood is worn in all the right places and being inside fills you with a sense of warmth. The proprietor Chris Jones is a man among men – we planned our big day from all the way in California, but Chris nevertheless helped us pin down even the very finest of details. The day itself was an absolute dream and ran seamlessly thanks to Chris, his wonderful wife, Jessica, and our amazing day-of planner (recommended by Chris), Rachel Swan. We found all of our other vendors through Chris and were absolutely floored with how everything turned out. As many have already shared, Chris is everything you want as you're planning your wedding -- he is impeccably kind, knowledgeable, organized, and responsive. He guided us through every step of our planning and the day itself with a contagious calm and a much-appreciated sense of humor. His incredibly detailed expertise and dedication to our wedding day always put us at ease, and truly allowed us to be in the moment and enjoying every second of our wedding day. My wife will tell anyone who will listen that we wouldn't have made it to or through our wedding if it weren't for Chris and his team, who truly made sure that everything went perfectly as planned and turned out even better than we could've imagined. Among the many advantages of Felicity: - The space has so much of its own character and beauty that one could easily get away with minimal to no additional “decorations” (large elaborate floral arrays, etc not necessary) - Option to do reception in the same space after room flip (as discussed by others) - Super fun neighborhood (great nearby bars and restaurants) situated right in the heart of the Garden District. Also a great neighborhood for a second line! - Airy downstairs space and beautiful courtyard with string lights for cocktail hour/mingling - Your vendors will thank you – everyone loves working with Chris and Jess (for good reason!) - Your guests will be blown away - everyone was raving about the beauty of Felicity and our day, and so many people remarked that ours was the most fun wedding they'd ever attended. We recently got access to our professional photos from our wedding day and we are blown away (all over again) by how beautiful everything was -- every corner of Felicity Church is picture perfect, the surrounding area was the perfect setting for our second line, and every photo is filled with love and warmth, thanks to Felicity and Chris Jones. If you want the wedding of your dreams, you won't regret choosing Felicity.

The felicity church is absolutely beautiful. The brick and stained glass windows are stunning. My fiancé and I had our wedding ceremony there and it was perfect. The moment I stepped into the felicity church, I knew I had to get married there. The pictures came out amazing. Chris (the owner) is such an easy person to work with! He will answer any questions and make your rehearsal/ceremony run so smoothly. Our guests were in awe when they walked into the church. It was an amazing set up and a truly unforgettable ceremony! Highly recommend this venue!!
