History Meets Modern Visual Arts
101 to 150 guests
The Fire House Loft is an art gallery and community gathering space in New Orleans, LA, perfect for hosting intimate weddings and other special events. It is upstairs in the historic firehouse on Magazine Street, originally built in 1872. The space has been featured across different media platforms, including TV programs and articles. The gallery aims to celebrate and cultivate visual arts in New Orleans. It features a rotating collection of works by visual artists across the city.
The gallery in the Fire House Loft can accommodate 120 people for a reception or 50 people seated. Guests can enter the building on the ground floor and ascend the main staircase to the gallery. The modernized and theatrical fireplace wall is the first thing seen when coming up the stairs. It is usually the backdrop to various art installations but can also house the recessed 220-inch vinyl screen, which is helpful for weddings. The screen has a high-definition projector and a sound system. The rest of the gallery walls feature the original exposed brick, black trim finishes, high ceilings, and nine arched windows for plenty of natural lighting. Its most unique feature is the 25-foot infinity bar. It has a back bar that was initially hand-carved for a Brooklyn tavern at the beginning of the 20th century. The space also has a private lounge perfect for turning into a dressing room.
The Fire House Loft has a team of dedicated event professionals who will guide you through the planning process. All venue rentals include six-plus hours of access to the space, including setup and breakdown time. They also have furniture such as soft lounge seating, ghost chairs, barstools, 6-foot rectangular tables, marble bistro tables, and more. Their entertainment system, with mics and a fabulous disco ball, will keep guests dancing all night. The Fire House Loft is the perfect historical and artistic event space to host the intimate wedding of your dreams.

My husband and I recently got married and had our reception for our 1920's themed wedding at Fire House Loft! We had the ABSOLUTE best time and are so in LOVE with the space. Sean, Peyton and Franki were a dream to work with and graciously answ...
ered all of my questions. Franki even helped us package up the leftover food to take to a food pantry so nothing went to waste.
If you are considering hosting any special events, I would definitely check out this incredible space!
Will post pictures once I get them back from the photographer!

Growing up in New Orleans, this was the first opportunity we had to rent this type of space as locals to host a small gathering/dinner and I simply will never be able to rent another venue now that I know about Firehouse Loft. Every little deta...
il of the Loft is impeccable. There are multiple seating spaces, spread throughout the space, so there is ample room to social distance and feel incredibly safe while hosting a gathering. The decor is magnificent and no detail went unnoticed. The building is awesome and the space has literally everything you could possibly ask for and more. Whether you want to play your favorite playlist on the surround sound, or play music videos/anything you want on the massive projector, you can literally create whatever vibe it is you are looking for. Lastly, from check in to check out, Sean is the perfect host. We asked Sean to stay on site to help manage the event, which I highly recommend, as he is the perfect host! I would recommend this to anyone that is looking to host an intimate gathering, whether it be a baby shower, a graduation celebration, or a dinner party for your closest friends. I cannot wait to rent this place again, and will definitely do so for a game this fall!

If you have an event in Nola you need to do it at the Firehouse Loft! If you're considering other venues, don't. The venue is gorgeous, the owner and staff are super helpful and the nicest people.
Preamble: We live outside Louisiana and were co...
ming for celebration of life for my father, New Orleans style, looking for a venue that would suit the vibe we were looking for. Once we found Firehouse we realized quickly we couldn't do it anywhere else.
The Venue: Modern, yet historic. The building is a converted firehouse, as the name implies. Sean, the owner, and his team did a great job elevating the space into something modern and conversational. Every detail was done tastefully, from the art, furniture, to general flow for any event size. They typically are tailored to festive, work or personal, events but even as a celebration of life the venue was perfect.
The Staff: Sean and his team were super communicative throughout the process, even going above and beyond in the planning stage and throughout the event and after. They have vendors that support any festivity and can accommodate all price points. For reference, we only rented the space and a bartender to serve wine and beer, but they ramp up options from there.
I cannot say enough about both the staff and venue. It is hard to fault the space in any form. The only real criticism I could render is that the space does not have an elevator, which in the case of our party was not a problem but could be if attendees have mobility problems. The space is on the second floor so be aware of that. I know overly glowing reviews typically raise an eyebrow or two, but there is almost nothing to fault and I struggled to find one, so there you go. Again, truly appreciate Firehouse Loft and Sean's team for everything they did.

I can't say enough good things about the Fire House Loft. The space is stunning (omg the bathrooms!) yet very comfortable. Some friends of ours hosted a Saints gameday watch party here and the entertainment system was truly top notch - I don't ...
know of a better place to watch a game. We loved it so much that we booked my husband's birthday party here in March. We can't wait to come back!
