House of Broel

Everyone here goes above and beyond for you! It has been almost 5 weeks since our wedding and I am still receiving compliments on the food, cake, and everything in between. We had an extreme family emergency to say the least and they made sure the ceremony and reception went flawlessly and made sure there was nothing else to worry about. I cannot rave about them enough! I will forever be thankful for the ladies that took such great care of me in a situation they themselves have never experienced as wedding planners. If you love New Orleans this venue is perfect for you.

4/27/24 The House of Broel help me and my husband have a Memorable experience very professional they exceeded expectations. Definitely they were so attentive made sure that we had everything they created a stress free environment not only did they cater to me they cater to my husband as well our coordinators were the best I even got a lil lesson about walking down the step in heels Ms.Cherie Ms Denise even the photographer Ms Willow jumped into action y’all was awesome thanks again I love you Mrs Bonnie thanks for the prayer and words of encouragement!

Our wedding at the House of Broel was fantastic! The all-inclusive package made planning a breeze, and the management team was so easy to work with—they were responsive and accommodating throughout the process. The venue itself is truly unique, and our guests loved its charm. The setting was perfect and provided a beautiful backdrop for our celebration. One special touch that stood out was the tour of Bonnie Broel's dollhouses during the reception. It was a fun and unexpected addition to the evening that our guests really enjoyed. Overall, the House of Broel was the perfect setting for our wedding. It exceeded our expectations, and we were so pleased with how everything turned out. Thank you to the entire team at the House of Broel for helping to make our day so special!

The House of Broel did an excellent job with every detail on our wedding day. Denise was such an instrumental piece for such a beautiful event. Thank you so much!

My husband and I tied the knot on November 12, 2023 at the beautiful House of Broel. We cannot say enough about the incredible experience it was to get married at The House of Broel. Bonnie is a legend. When we came to her and said we like to party she told us we came to the right place and she was not lying. She came through for us on every promise including hanging out on the actual wedding day to make sure that everyone was having a great time. Our wedding planner Denise and her assistant Cheri were also amazing. They handled everything and more than we could imagine while still allowing us free reign on how to dictate our party. We never were lacking in anything. The reception went perfectly. The bartenders and staff handled themselves with our crazy friends way better than we expected since we had about 20 bartenders there who were definitely needy. Plus I’m sure it was a challenge for them that we could never give them an actual head count until the day of, but they just rolled with it. Nothing fazed them they were able to handle everything we presented to them, even the last minute details and changes. Again we cannot say enough about them, so professional and yet so much fun at the same time. It was a magical experience that will never be forgotten.

We decided to get married just the 2 of us in New Orleans at The House of Broel after a long 9+ years engagement and it couldn’t have gone any better. Flawless planning and execution from beginning to end. We did the package for two and had an intimate wedding that we’ll cherish forever. Thanks to Bonnie for sharing this unique home with a picturesque backyard and to Denise for all of your impeccable recommendations for flowers, photographer and officiant. Everything was perfect!

The House of Broel staff were very helpful throughout the process of planning all the way up to the conclusion of the event. They were down to earth and never overbearing. The venue speaks for itself with its beauty, but the people there really made it special. Loved this place and my wife and I will be reliving that special day over and over.

We knew when we first visited House of Broel that this was going to be our choice for my daughter’s wedding. Bonnie was on top of each detail every step of the way, and Denise along with Cheri, were always responsive to every question, and provided a timeline of all details needing to be accomplished with professionalism and kindness. The Victorian Mansion is amazing and the wedding concluded flawlessly, with beautiful memories for us to treasure forever.

Everyone, but especially Denise, at House of Broel made our special day unforgettable. The entire staff is so flexible, kind, loving, and accommodating. This venue is gorgeous and made sure it could be tweaked to give us the wedding of our dreams. I highly recommend this mansion to any couple looking for a fairytale wedding!

When I viewed Ms. Broel venue, The House of Broels, on a TLC wedding program back in the late 1990's and early 2000's as one of the best destination wedding venues to be married in, I knew this was where I wanted to be married and on Saturday, September 30, 2023 my husband and I were married in The House of Broels - a wedding dream come true!!! What an amazing destination wedding venue - the location made our day so very special. From the very beginning of the wedding planning, Ms. Broels, Denise made sure we had everything we wanted for our day. On our wedding day, everything was absolutely beautiful. Everyone, Ms. Broels, Denise, my attendant, the photographer, the DJ, and the bakery who made our wedding cake, were very professional and careful to ensure that my husband and I were satisfied with everything. Our intimate wedding party loved everthing about the venue. They also said that the everyone was kind and professional, and that the pictures of the venue does not give it justice - it is something you must see in person. THANK YOU Ms. Broels, Denise and all the vendors who was a part of our intimate wedding package - you guys made our wedding day very special, memorable and an outwardly expression of our true love for one aother. We cannot wait to see the wedding pictues!

Everyone at the House of Broel was genuine and made our day amazing! We will definitely return for an anniversary!

Beautiful Venue! It was definitely not their first time. Everything was taken care of, even some things we did not think about. The availability of indoors or outdoors was perfect! From the owner to all the staff (well done)! Thank you again,

This vendor was beyond perfect from helping me plan to the actual day of they made my day so special and were so loving I absolutely recommend them to any bride deciding to be married in New Orleans. Mrs Bonnie and her staff are so sweet and will make your day absolutely special and a day you’ll never forget!

Bonnie, Denise and Cherie were amazing! I would give them 10 stars if I could. Each one went above and beyond to make our day everything we hoped for and more! Bonnie's home and garden are beautiful. The pictures are great, but The House of Broel is even better in person. Thank you ladies!!

I absolutely loved having my 25th anniversary vow renewal here. They were professional and very attentive. The mansion and grounds are beautiful! Mrs. Broel, Denise and the entire staff were very friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed my special day at this venue!

House of Broel helped me pull off my absolute dream wedding and I can't thank them enough! My fiance and I got engaged in July of 2019 and had originally planned on getting married in October of 2020... However, when Covid hit, we had to reschedule twice, finally tying the knot on April 2, 2022. Ms. Bonnie was incredibly kind and understanding throughout the entire process; answering questions and offering support both of the times I called on the verge of tears letting her know that we'd decided to reschedule. She is truly a gem and I'll miss our monthly chats when I would call to give her my payment for that month! We had her officiate our ceremony and we absolutely loved it - it was short and sweet just the way we wanted. I only had the pleasure of communicating with Ms. Denise a week or two before my wedding, but she went above and beyond to help organize the day-of-event logistics. Having never planned a wedding before, I had no idea what to do in terms of the ceremony, where to seat my immediate family and older relatives/friends, etc. Denise walked me through all of that and I believe she's in charge of running everything behind the scenes the day of the event - which, if that's the case, she is absolutely fabulous at doing. I also want to say that for anyone looking at this venue for a "destination" wedding (my fiance is a NOLA native and I lived there for 8 years, but we live in Denver now), I can't imagine a better choice! They provide pretty much everything you'll need, from tables and chairs to tablecloths and silverware and there is no shortage of decorations. My fiance and I chose to bring in some fun favors for our guests that House of Broel spread out around different tables and stuff, but other than that, literally all we brought was bouquets for the bridal party. Given that we were coming in from out of town, it was great to not have to worry about bringing anything extra. Also, the cost of a wedding cake from Swiss or Haydel is included in the contract/fee, which is AWESOME! The venue itself is completely stunning. The doll museum upstairs is closed to guests during the ceremony, but Ms. Bonnie will take you on a tour when you come to see the venue (and I believe guests can book their own tours on a non-event day fora really low price). The history of House of Broel is fascinating if you look into it. Unfortunately, I barely ate any of the food, which was one of the things I was looking forward to the most! It's a huge menu of delicious Southern/New Orleans dishes. My parents both said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding and multiple people texted me afterward to say how much they loved it, so I'm assuming it was darn good. I loved that I was able to break up my payments into monthly installments (which were adjusted each time we rescheduled) - my one tiny "complaint" is that it would have been nice to be able to make the payments online versus calling and providing a credit card number each month (you can also send a check, though). Overall, I can't recommend House of Broel highly enough. Ms. Bonnie and her staff are total pros, and they'll alleviate any worries you might have throughout the planning process or on the day of your event. I couldn't ask for a better experience!

We had the absolute perfect day for our wedding. Everything from planning to executing the day was flawless. Denise was incredibly helpful and available for questions. She managed the day expertly and everything ran so smoothly. We really did not have to worry about anything. The staff was wonderful, friendly and helpful. Drinks were served quickly and the food was delicious. The house was absolutely gorgeous and the space was perfect for our guests. Ms. Bonnie guided our guests through a tour of the second floor and everyone raved about the stories and the dollhouses. The DJ was awesome! He took any requests and also read the crowd well for the type of music to play. He was easy to communicate with and incredibly responsive to planning with us. We really could not have pictured a better day. We just wanted more time to continue partying! All of our guests loved the venue and everyone had an amazing time. We would recommend this venue to anyone.

My wedding night at House of Broel was a magical night that I wish I could relive again and again. The whole vibe and feel of that house is intoxicating if you’re someone like me who loves old New Orleans style homes that are dripping with character and charm. This place is over the top, but in a way that feels celebratory and festive rather than stuffy and overly fancy. Mrs. Broel, Denise, and the entire staff were so lovely, helpful, and accommodating every step of the way. I live in New Orleans but had a lot of family coming from out of town for the wedding. House of Broel really gave them that New Orleans experience. The minute they walked through the doors they were in awe of the place. And I felt honored to have Mrs. Broel herself officiating the ceremony. The DJ that was recommended (DJ B-Sharp) was outstanding and I spent almost the entire night on the dance floor. The food provided by House of Broel was delicious. We got our cake from Swiss bakery and paid a little extra to have 3 tiers with the poured icing and a fondant bow. The only things not covered by House of Broel were the photographer and flowers. It was so nice not having to worry about all the little things like food and decorations. The house is already decorated beautifully, especially at Christmas time. There’s something about this place that is just special. I love how we were able to use the whole house. The weather was beautiful so we had the ceremony outside in the lush back garden. Then the party moved inside where we had the entire first floor to ourselves. Mrs. Broel even gave a tour of the 2nd floor dollhouse museum to some of our guests during the reception. And when I arrived before the ceremony, I was taken upstairs to the gorgeous bridal suite where I put on my dress and the photographer was able to get some really cool and quirky portraits of me on the 2nd floor with the dollhouses right before the ceremony. I cannot recommend this place enough. I only wish I had another excuse to have an event there. It’s really a magical place and a perfect wedding venue.

If you're looking for a venue full of New Orleans charm that handles most of your wedding, the House of Broel is a great option. Everything from the music to the food, as well as an historic mansion with great decor and charm for the event. You can do the event inside or outside in the garden, with areas upstairs for the bride to be pampered. We had our oldest daughter's wedding there in October and all the guest had a great time. There was an expansive menu with something for everybody, as well as vendors who handled the cakes. They are also very flexible for traditional weddings and weddings with non-traditional elements, with a great emphasis on doing whatever they could for the couple getting married. My daughter now lives in New Jersey, but she insisted on coming home to New Orleans to get married because she didn't trust caterers in other states to come up with traditional New Orleans cuisine. If your desire is to feel the charm of a historic city, then House of Broel is a great option. Thanks to Bonnie Broel and her staff!! K. Planchet, mother of the bride

My husband and I had the most beautiful and memorable experience in having the staff at the House of Broel to coordinate and host our wedding. Denise was awesome, she ensured that all of our needs were met. Cheri assisted me with everything that I needed once I arrived and she was outstanding! The mansion is beautifully kept and the staff was professional and courteous throughout our entire interaction. Ms Broel officiated our wedding and she was phenomenal! The food and the presentation was amazing! Thank you sooo very much to the House Of Broel for allowing us to have such an awesome wedding and reception at your beautiful mansion.

We had a wonderful, magical day on our wedding thanks to the House of Broel! The venue is amazing with its unique history and decor! Bonnie was welcoming and worked hard to bring our vision to life, and made everything easy by having so much included in our package. Denise, Cheryl, and the staff was amazing, and we strongly recommend this venue for anyone interested in a lovely, charming authentic New Orleans wedding! Our guests were very happy, and many claimed that it was their best wedding experience!!! Thank you so much!

The House of Broel was the perfect place to have our wedding reception!!! All of our guests absolutely loved the beautiful house and amazing food! This was our third attempt at having a wedding celebration since the plague began, and the House of Broel made the wait entirely worth it!

Wonderful!!! The staff were attentive, the food delicious and the venue beautiful.

House of Broel provided us with the most magical wedding day experience. Mrs. Broel was our officiant and we were wed in their courtyard. It was absolutely beautiful. Mrs. Broel provided us with a beautiful ceremony. The reception was held indoors. The venue was spacious and held our large party size with no problem. We didn't need to decorate the space for our event because the venue is perfect and ready as is. The food was delicious and the service was prompt and attentive. The rates were more than reasonable. Many of our guests raved about the venue, the tours they offered (if desired), the food and the experience. The day of planner took great care of me (the bride) which allowed us to enjoy the day without anxiety or concern. I can't recommend this venue enough. I feel truly grateful to the staff for helping us have the perfect day.

Everyone at the House of Broel made sure I was taken care of on our special day. The service was outstanding. The food was good and the staff were friendly.

First, let me say I was not a bride who wanted to be involved in planning every detail. Quite the opposite. I honestly just wanted to be able to show up on The Big Day and have everything already taken care of. We live in Missouri and picked New Orleans as the destination for our wedding since it is our favorite city and we really just wanted a venue who would take the wedding planning off my shoulders. The House of Broel did just that and so much more. The house was beautiful, the food was great, but the staff is by far the hallmark of The House of Broel. They are more than just friendly and attentive, the staff makes you feel like they are genuinely invested in Your Day being the best day. We had so many guests come up to us, or reach out later, to let us know how much they enjoyed themselves, how beautiful the house and ceremony was, how great the food was, and how impressed they were with the staff. This was really all my husband and I wanted is for our guests to have a great time and the staff made sure that happened. And because The House of Broel staff is so awesome, I believe my husband and I were actually able to relax and enjoy the day and our guests more than most couples. Plus, no way you will find a better value for everything they provide. The House of Broel is an absolute steal. So, we owe a BIG THANK YOU to Denise, Kevin, Jasper, Cheri, Stacie, Ethyl, DJ Carl and Ms. Bonnie Broel! You all absolutely surpassed any expectations and helped create a joyous celebration and wonderful memory.

Our wedding was the evening of March 12, 2021, and I could not have pictured a more perfect event. We found a House of Broel over the Internet, as we are out of town, so I only had pictures and reviews to go off of; they were all good, but you never fully know what to expect. When we arrived at the venue I was floored, it was the most stunning thing I had ever seen. Our ceremony and reception went off without a hitch, and was literally the most amazing night I could have ever asked for. Leading up to the event Denise and Mrs. Broel were absolutely amazing; they answered all of my questions, alleviated all of my concerns, and walked me through every step of the process. If I could have another wedding just to experience the Night again, I absolutely would.

I was a guest at a wedding & reception at the beautiful venue. Mrs. Broel & her staff were gracious, attentive, thoughtful, & provided anything one could need. The architecture & grounds provide numerous opportunities for photi backdrops. You feel appreciated.

All my dreams come true! This entire staff and venue is world class 5 diamond! Immaculate, stunning, tasteful, delicious, kind , loving experience of my life! Do not pass up this venue or the honor to be treated like a queen by them. Book now! I’m the happiest of brides!!!!

Wow! The House of Broel is an amazing venue. Literally, you step in the front doors to a beautiful place with so much charm and character. The outdoor courtyard area is equally as stunning. The landscaping. Wow just wow. We have the BEST pics! The staff is amazing as well. Denise....Ms Broel .... our dj Carl ...all made our day perfect. I was assigned an assistant as soon as I entered who helped every step of the way with getting ready to leaving and not forgetting a thing. You cannot go wrong with House of Broel. All our guests GUSHED at how amazing the food was!! If you’re considering the HOB....book it! You won’t be disappointed!

I could not have imagined our vow renewal to be any better, and it was all because of the House of Broel and their staff! Coming from out of town they made the planning and execution of our renewal seamless and easy. We were taken care of all evening long. Denise, the coordinator, ensured my husband and I were eating, having a great time, and never had an empty glass! Following the celebration our guests could not stop commenting on how wonderful the food, venue, and entire experience was. Multiple guests came from out of town and loved the location of the venue as well, as it’s right on St. Charles Avenue and easy to hop on the trolley and tour the town. Personally, I could not get over how amazing all the food was and when our event was ending they had everything ready for me to easily take with me, even food and cake! To say the least, I would highly recommend this venue to anyone and everyone.

Absolutely beautiful place for wedding! Loved the attention to detail. Everything from the celebratory champagne, cake, photos, and staff. They made our wedding go smoothly and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants to have their wedding without the fuss of having to worry about everything that goes along with it. Thanks again to House of Broel!!

The House of Broel was completely spectacular. Miss Denise and Miss Bonnie really helped with coordination and food. We had so many people flying in from all over the world and Chef Patrick was very helpful with planning our menu. Everyone absolutely loved the venue and could not stop raving about it. Also the tours of the house and her life stories were so much fun and gave an added bonus for the guests. I would recommend this over and over again. If you want a true New Orleans wedding the Antebellum mansion on St. Charles delivers 100%

It all started with an email in January 2019 with questions. Bonnie Broel immediately responded and I booked early February to save the date. My husband and I married on October 31, 2019 inside the House of Broel. The house was absolutely beautiful inside and gorgeous courtyard outside. Our wedding venue was small yet perfect with a beautiful cake, champagne toast, cutting the cake and signing our marriage license together. Big thank you to Louis @ Photography by Louis for capturing the special moments whether we were laughing, trying to be serious or crying. Thank you all for making our wedding day the best!

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect! We got married on 2/29 and they even left their Mardi Gras decorations up for us so our our is town guests could experience their own little Mardi Gras. There were some problems on our end and Ms. Bonnie went above and beyond to accommodate us when many people would not have. Everyone loved the food, their DJ was great, and for everything I got, I could not believe how affordable the wedding was.

It was everything I ever dreamed of. I really felt like a New Orleans princess. The staff and Mrs. Bonnie are most wonderful host in a stunning classic mansion.

This place is one of a kind! They made our wedding special and unique! They make the whole process so easy by offering packages and the house stays beautifully decorated all year so no need to worry about that! It’s affordable and all the staff is so accommodating! We had the best day and I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!

The House of Broel and its entire staff was nothing short of perfection on our big day. Ms. Bonnie Broel herself gave us a beautiful and heartfelt ceremony in the stunning back courtyard. Denise, the coordinator, ensured that we had absolutely nothing to stress about the entire evening. The food was absolutely delectable, and the chef, Patrick, was particularly accommodating when we remembered at the last minute that we needed a gluten free option for one of the members in our wedding party. I thoroughly recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding in New Orleans. They know what they are doing, and they do it well. If you choose to have your wedding and/or reception here, you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy yourself.

House of Broel! So many amazing things to say. We fell in love with the house from the internet and wanted it to be real when we first toured it. The House surpassed all expectations. Bonnie and Denise were amazing to work with. We were planning remotely and Denise made the experience so easy. They made us both feel like royalty and took so much stress out of the wedding. Cannot recommend House of Broel enough!!!

I am so glad that we chose the House of Broel for our wedding. The house itself is gorgeous, both inside and out. The staff was unbelievably helpful and accommodating every step of the way. From the planning stages to the day of the wedding, Ms. Broel’s team was there with advice, lists of vendor references, and last minute details. Our wedding went so smoothly and was above anything we could have dreamed of.

We absolutely loved The House of Broel and working with Denise/Bonnie. They truly made our wedding reception everything that we could have dreamed it would be. 4 months later and we still have guests raving about the food. Our guests loved meeting Bonnie and getting a tour of the house. Denise made sure that everyone was well taken care of. The bartender did an amazing job and our guests loved the drinks. They were very helpful every step of the way, including helping me with the DJ and the cake. I could not have made a better choice for our wedding.

Beautiful location, took the stress out of everything, staff was amazing and made us feel so special.

Awesome place to get married, beautiful location and recommend doing a tour of the house! Gardens around the house remind you of being on a tropical island! House is a short Uber ride from any downtown hotel location 2 to 3 min drive!

The House of Broel was a truly unique and amazing location for our wedding! The staff is extremely attentive, and the manner in which they operate their venue takes away many of the traditional stress factors a bride will face on her wedding day. Coming from Boston with 85 people for a destination location seemed daunting, but Ms Broel and Denise were very receptive to all of our questions. In fact it seems the business has been run smoothly for so long, most of the items a bride worries about are already taken care of. Raining? Everyone moves inside. Sunny, people can wander in and out. Food allergies? The chef can prepare a special meal. Desire more of a cocktail party rather than your drunk aunt doing the electric slide? They can do that (although I'm sure they'd make aunt Susan happy if that's your thing). The architecture and decor was beautiful, the location can't be beat (we even got picked up and shuttled to a balcony on Bourbon Street. When it began to rain sideways, they busted out the umbrellas to get us there without a hair out of place). Overall, big party or intimate gathering, this is an absolute gem of a venue! From tours of the doll house museum, Mardi Gras dresses on display, and a mansion that truly lit up the night, our guests are still talking about what an amazing wedding it was!

We had a few stressful moments but because of everyone at House of Broel our ceremony was absolutely perfect. They took amazing care of us and we are forever grateful.
