Latrobe's on Royal

n love with the charm and character of the venue, but what truly set LaTrobe’s apart was the incredible team behind it. Rylan, Hana, and Millie were exceptional from start to finish. Their communication was timely, clear, and thoughtful.  No question ever went unanswered, and no detail was too small. Planning a wedding from out of town could have been stressful, but their professionalism and warmth made the process feel seamless. They guided us through every step, offered wonderful insights, and went above and beyond to make sure our vision came to life. When the big day finally arrived, everything ran flawlessly. The staff was attentive, kind, and incredibly efficient, the food was absolutely delicious, and the venue itself looked stunning. Every element came together perfectly. Throughout the night and in the week since, we’ve heard nonstop compliments from our guests, so many said it was one of the most unique, fun, and beautifully executed weddings they had ever attended. We truly credit that to the incredible team at LaTrobe’s. Their care, expertise, and dedication made our wedding not only stress-free but unforgettable. If you’re getting married in New Orleans, look no further, LaTrobe’s on Royal is the perfect place to celebrate. We are endlessly grateful for everything they did to make our day so special.

et married. Every single time I walked into this building, I got the chills. There is just something so special and unique about it and it's truly a one in a million venue. On top of that, Millie and Rylan and the entire staff (David and Michael we love you!!) could not have been better in the planning process and on the actual wedding day. They truly treated us like royalty and were there for anything we may have needed throughout the night. I could not recommend Latrobe's and the team more. Our guests have not stopped talking about the magic that was our wedding at Latrobe's.

amless. Rylan, Millie, and Julie were incredible to work with. They were so professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. They anticipated every need, handled every detail flawlessly, and made the planning process completely stress-free. As a lesbian couple, it meant the world to us that we were treated with the same kindness, respect, and excitement as any other couple. The entire team at Latrobe’s made us feel welcome, celebrated, and completely at ease throughout the process. The venue itself is stunning, with that perfect New Orleans charm, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful everything was. The food was amazing, the service was top-notch, and the entire night flowed effortlessly, thanks to the phenomenal staff. If you’re looking for a venue that goes above and beyond, Latrobe’s on Royal is it! Highly, highly recommend!

located in the French Quarter. No longer living in New Orleans, it really was a destination for all of our guests. It was easy for everyone to find accommodations within walking distance. Room blocks were unnecessary as there are so many hotels of varying price points. Next up was the venue. Latrobe’s is a gorgeous old Louisiana State Bank. It is very quintessential old New Orleans with tons of exposed brick, gas lanterns, etc. It even has a historic bank vault where a bar was placed. Everyone loved it. The food was exceptional. There wasn’t one thing on the menu that I didn’t think was great and we’re very particular about food. The guests told me the food was excellent. One other thing I should point out is that Latrobe’s knows how to staff the venue appropriately. Our 150 guests never had to stand in long lines to get food or a drink from the bar. I worked with Millie, Rylan and Hana and they are so experienced and knowledgeable. Every attention was paid to the detail. They are fun to work with, make great suggestions and help to keep the planning on track. During the tasting over the summer, they even reviewed my contracts to make sure everything was on track. I felt no need to hire a wedding or party planner. The party was a blast and got a little out of hand but only in a good way. I highly recommend hosting your event at Latrobe’s. For us, it was the perfect place to host a party.

could not recommend Latrobe’s enough. They made my vision come to life and were so knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. The work they put in was not unnoticed and our guests had a fabulous time!! The true Nola experience!!

lan and her team made us feel like we didn’t need to worry about a thing. We are a foodie family and food was very important to us. After our three hour tasting we knew we had made the right choice. We took all of the input an and recommendations Rylan had to offer especially the spiked ice coffee at the end of the night! Our guests were blown away with this venue and the unique nola vibe it brings. The staff is top rate genuinely nice people who want to see that you have a great time. They even joined us in the dance-off and we loved it!!! No need to look anywhere else Latrobes has it all. Thank you so much!

he INCREDIBLE food, the staff dancing with everyone on the dance floor, Marte making sure we were always having fun and had a drink in hand, to Rylan at the helm of a second line to end the night. I can't even count how many people came up to us to sing praises of the Latrobe's team, but if I had to guess, it was all 120 of our guests! The Latrobe's team are some of the most wonderful people we've ever had the pleasure of meeting and we will never forget all that they did for us. I truly don't think there is a venue out there that does it better than them. We have had the time of our lives working with these wonderful people to pull off our New Orleans destination wedding and my only wish is that I can do it all over again with them every year. From the very bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything!

hearsal, and wedding were perfect. Rylan, Hana, and Millie are three incredibly talented ladies with an AMAZING staff! They truly treat you as if you are THE only client they have. The food and drinks were perfect. Marte and his crew are simply amazing! "they" say planning your daughter's wedding is one of the most stressful things you do in life. We didn't have that. Latrobe's had the answer and/or solution each and every time I had a question! Now I'm ready for someone else to get married there and invite me because I want to go back!

g feel like YOU and for that I can't thank them enough. It was no big deal to have a Colombian "hora loca" at our wedding and they helped make that happen. The building itself is gorgeous, the food delicious. Everyone we know said the wedding was amazing and Latrobe's was one of the main reasons.

fer is that of a personal attendant for the bride and groom on the night of and ours was phenomenal! We also wanted to offer our guests an entirely vegan menu, and they accommodated this with delicious options - our guests are still talking about it!

h the weekend forever! Everything from the food to the atmosphere to the vendors was flawless and we couldn’t have done it without Latrobes ❤️

There were a lot of out to town guests and they are still talking about the great time they had. They organized the second line with police and band and perfect way to end the reception. I would highly recommend Latrobe's for any event

rganizing the wedding from afar and they made it easy. They helped us think through things every step of the way. The food is incredible, the staff feels like family and they went above and beyond with us. So many of our guests commented on how magical the venue was and how wonderful the staff. If we could give it 10 stars we would!!

was amazing - our guests kept telling us about it! I have to also specifically mention how wonderful the Ladies of Latrobe's are - we planned our wedding here from out of state, but the staff made it incredibly easy the whole way through. From taking us on a virtual tour of the building, to answering my (endless) logistical questions, to recommending wonderful vendors, to making sure the event went just right. I really can't say enough nice things. Thank you so much to Latrobe's for such a dreamy wedding!

band and I had a fantastic time and genuinely had fun at our ceremony and reception; I just don’t think that would have been possible without their efforts. They were there to help us plan our wedding every step of the way. Hana and Rylan were also very open to our ideas and honest with any concerns they had. They are experienced, realistic, and intelligent. They also have great relationships with a variety of vendors in the area so it was so easy to trust their recommendations. Additionally, all our guests loved it! My husband and I have received so many compliments on our wedding and how happy our guests were that it wasn’t, “another traditional ballroom style wedding.” I highly recommend this venue. You won’t regret booking it, but you may regret passing on it.

very clear that the Latrobe's team knows how to execute on a fabulous wedding. I can't thank Latrobe's enough for helping us host an epic wedding.

ave been happier. So why choose Latrobe's over all the other venues? #1) The ladies who run it are phenomenal. Milli, Rylan and Hana are the best. These ladies know their business and their wealth of knowledge is amazing. I would strongly encourage everyone to listen to their suggestions. They provide you with an extensive FAQ package that includes a list of vendors and everything else you need to know about planning a wedding there. We did not even have to use a wedding or event planner because they covered everything in detail, they are just that good. They made the process so easy, especially the day of the event. I can't say enough positive comments about these ladies. They think of everything in addition to being such professional, kind, hard working awesome woman. #2) The venue is so beautiful and it is located in the heart of the french quarter. We had both the ceremony and reception at Latrobe's. The ceremony in the courtyard was beautiful. Rylan was so detail oriented at the rehearsal that many of the wedding party commented how impressed they were and did not receive that level of excellence at their own weddings. It's such a one of a kind venue that you don't need a lot of decorations because the building speaks for itself. #3) The food was delicious. We choose the Prix Fixe level 3 and had a wide variety of food for our guests to choose from and people were very happy. The ratio of bartenders to guests was above industry standards so there was minimal wait time. We followed the ladies suggestion on a NOLA inspired cocktail party and it was a big hit. People were able to eat, drink, dance , mingle and table hop. The ladies were spot on when it came to the flow of the event and had every detail covered from beginning to end. We ended the night with a second line led by Kinfolk, which was perfect. Once again the ladies were assisting by passing out favors, directing guests and ensuring the event was a roaring success. I would highly recommend ending the evening this way. To this day, several months after the wedding, people are still talking about how it was the most fun they had every had at a wedding.

rompt replies to my questions and emails, and ready to provide invaluable suggestions. The wedding ceremony was held here, as well as the reception, and the space was absolutely magical. The food was incredible, as was the service of the entire evening. Thank you, Ladies of Latrobes!

by Millie, Hana and Rylan. We had our wedding ceremony and reception here in November 2021 and cannot say enough about how much we loved it. The Space: You are in awe by how grand and historic every part of the space is from the entryway to the reception space. The ceilings are very high, the color of the space is warm and you truly do not need to decorate very much because the space is so beautiful. It also is very flexible for your number of guests and flow of events. We decided to do both our ceremony and reception here. We had the ceremony in the courtyard space (which is indoors) and then flowed through into the reception space for our cocktail-style reception. We had about 120 guests and it felt very comfortable. Definitely suggest doing the cocktail-style reception. We wanted to do a seated dinner, but ended up choosing the cocktail-style reception. It gave guests more flexibility and more dancing! The Food and Drink: WOW- everything is delicious here. We had many guests say this was the best food they had ever had at a wedding and many said it was the best food they had in New Orleans! The menu is expansive to fit any event and they are creative to fit your event or audience, especially when it comes to accommodating food allergies. Make sure to order the Ahi Tuna and the rice and beans- our favorites! Also, the bar is amazing- folks drink sazeracs to old fashioneds all night!! The bar packages include everything you need. The Planning: Working with Millie, Hana and Rylan was so fun, organized and they never let you become overwhelmed. They take care and think of every detail so you do not need a wedding planner, unless you need major help on things unrelated to the wedding space. Not only did they help us with the details related to the venue, they ensured that we were thinking about a smooth whole wedding day including tips for our officiant, organizing our photo list to organizing the second line. When you sign your contract they also give you a list of vendors- we used it for every decision from decorating, hotel blocks, and hair. The People: This may be slightly repetitive but all of the staff at Latrobe's are just so kind and thoughtful at every turn. The planning process with Millie, Hana and Rylan was a delight and they were patient when we had a million repetitive questions and encouraging as we embarked on planning our wedding while we lived far away. I even caught them at one point helping sew one of our guests dresses that had ripped- they really show the best care. The other staff from the waitstaff to bartenders were truly kind, thoughtful and so hospitable. Q who took us around all night made us feel comfortable, cared for and so special. The Couples Experience: Guests had the best experience but we should also say as the couple it was so thoughtfully laid out. The flow for my husband and I was perfect. After the ceremony, they had a plate of food with champagne for my husband and I to enjoy with a moment of quiet before we entered the party. They checked on us throughout the night to make sure we had anything we needed. We felt so cared for and got to eat which no couple ever says! We are already starting to save up to do another party for an anniversary at Latrobe’s. You will only regret not going with Latrobe’s.

obe's operated things, it was nothing short of an amazing experience. Not just for the 2 of us, but for all our family and friends that came. It was memorable for everyone involved. Big thanks to Hana and Rylan who were there every step of the way. I am an out-of-state bride and they made this process as stress-free as possible for me! The ceremony was beautiful, the reception, the food was far better than we ever imagined. Would 10/10 recommend this to anyone considering a Nola wedding!

ht down to the last minute. With a resurgence of Covid and new Nola mandates we lost a number of our guests but the team at LOR kept us informed on changes including drafting an email to send to our guests. If that wasn’t enough a storm started brewing the week of our wedding. This storm has now become known as Hurricane Ida. This is the strongest storm to hit Louisiana since Katrina. Rylan called as we checked in to Nola to prepare us for uncertainties and provided possible options. One option was to move our wedding from a 7pm start time to noon. With numerous vendors from Baton Rouge and New Orleans including our band, second line band, florist, cake, photographer and planner we thought this would be impossible. I was heartbroken with the thought that we may have to cancel. Rylan called at 5:30pm to share that she had gotten intouch with all of our vendors and if we wanted to move forward with a noon wedding it would be a go! LOR made the impossible happen and our wedding was more than I could have dreamed of! The staff was attentive and welcoming and although I worried for them and their families, they never rushed us or made our event feel like it wasn’t the most important event going on that day in New Orleans! Thank you Thank you Thank you! We were blessed to have all of you at LOR make our wedding a dream come true!! Love, Andie & Jason Hill

ok our wedding and would swing from the fences for the 2021 date we wanted…hoping that the pandemic would allow it to go ahead! We booked Latrobe’s without first seeing it in person. When we did, we thought it was even more remarkable than it appeared in the photos. Latrobe's had everything we wanted in a wedding venue. We were looking for a location in the French Quarter so it would be convenient and fun for our out-of-town guests. I wanted a historic building rather than a hotel or a generic event space. We also wanted a rustic, laid back vibe to match our personalities. What immediately sold us was just how helpful Rylan, Millie and team were. We didn’t have a wedding planner nor our own connections to vendors in the area, so we trusted all of theirs – hiring everyone from their list. Every selection worked out perfectly! Rylan and Millie also took their time to get to know us as a couple. They were always quick to answer emails or hop on a call with us and remembered everything we shared. When a vendor was slow to respond to our email, Rylan texted them for us and got instant responses. We truly got a personalized, premium experience every step of the way. It’s all worth sharing that when I spoke to anyone in the wedding industry in New Orleans, they all knew Rylan and said how great she was, too! The wedding went ahead without a flaw and – importantly – almost no stress, which is remarkable given we booked everything sight unseen. Our guests love the venue and the food, exclaiming how we selected the most amazing space! We are over the moon about how we had the wedding we always pictured!

isioned my “perfect day” and was pretty bummed when I realized I couldn’t have it the way I had thought. I felt so much better after talking to the Latrobe’s ladies (Rylan, Hana, Millie), as they immediately had alternative options for us. We ended up splitting our contract with them and having a smaller, intimate wedding ceremony and dinner (55 people) and have a larger reception (one year anniversary party) planned for this upcoming December. In order for it to not feel like we were paying for two weddings, they were very flexible with us and customized our menu both at our wedding dinner (a seated more formal meal with 4 courses) and for our future party (more informal finger food) to fit exactly what we wanted and to help remain in our budget. What I also really loved about the experience is that the Ladies Latrobe let me be as hands-on as I wanted to be (I tend to have a type A personality and want to be involved in the planning process), but also knew where I was falling short and filled in the gaps. They act as day-of wedding coordinators, but are also involved in your entire wedding weekend and have so much advice to give from their years of experience; for example, I wouldn’t have thought to have housekeeping come at 6pm between leaving our hotel and coming back to make sure that it looked perfect upon arrival after the wedding. On the wedding day, my husband and I never had to ask for a drink (there was always a full glass waiting for us) and I could just relax and enjoy the experience. I ended up having the most perfect wedding day 12/12/20 and really could not have asked for anything better. We have our party scheduled later this year and I know it will be just as amazing but in a different way! Importantly, this time around, I’m also not stressed about the details since I now know from experience to just trust Latrobe’s to do their thing. Thank you Rylan, Millie, Hana!

ovide is superb. Rylan, Milli, and Hana were amazing to work with and I always felt I was in good hands. We originally planned a 100+ person wedding, but ended up with a much more intimate seated dinner due to Covid. While the situation was stressful, the Latrobe's ladies were incredibly understanding and helpful. The reception was gorgeous and felt effortless, although I know Rylan was working diligently to make it all perfect in the background. The food was AMAZING, as many of my guest commented. Latrobe's was also a great help in the planning process as they helped me with timing issues and vendor suggestions. While I live in New Orleans, I would say Latrobe's would be an excellent venue for a destination wedding as they know the New Orleans wedding market better than anyone. In short, I am so very happy to have had my reception at Latrobe's on Royal and would recommend it to all brides looking for an all-inclusive, historic, elegant, and truly New Orleans wedding experience.

he French Quarter. Then with COVID, we were required to make a lot of quick changes and re-planning to change to a 25 person event. I cannot overstate how appreciative we are to Latrobe’s and especially Rylan who worked so hard with us to replan to a COVID style reception and turning what was initially a stressful situation into a beautiful intimate celebration. Our guests were also equally impressed with how beautiful the space is as well as the food and drinks were incredible! It was truly an unforgettable evening and was such a special team effort between ourselves and everyone at Latrobe’s to still pull off our redesigned, but still completely perfect, reception - only hoping one day to have another excuse to go back to throw a big party at this fantastic venue!

oved this venue for my wedding: #1 – The building itself is gorgeous and requires little decor. You are also able to host both your ceremony and reception there, which I appreciated! One less thing to worry about! #2 – Location! Location! Location! Latrobe's is in the heart of the French Quarter, and has tons of great nearby hotel options making it very convenient for your guests. The location is also awesome when it comes to the second line parade route. #3 – The staff! They can help you plan your entire wedding from soup to nuts. Being an out-of-town bride, I found this extremely helpful! The Latrobe's team was able to provide recommendation on vendors and the flow of my wedding day, which took away a lot of the planning stress. #4 – The food was actually good! Latrobe's has a wide variety in terms of their menu, and the food was fresh and delicious! I also appreciated their options in terms of a bar package too! You cannot go wrong getting married here! Latrobe's embodies what it means to "have a New Orleans wedding!" Highly, highly recommend!

ets the cake!

t could possibly be. It's hard to describe how magical the spaces in this building are, and the staff are responsive, professional and incredibly kind. The food was top-tier restaurant quality; you won't get rubber chicken and dry potatoes at Latrobe's! When we decided to have a destination wedding in New Orleans, we thought it would be difficult to plan. But Rylan, Milli and Hana made it so easy for us, providing invaluable advice along the way and making sure we had answers to every possible question. If the myriad 5-star reviews here don't say "choose Latrobe's!" then I don't know what will -- but you're crazy if you don't!!!

ust me. the food was amazing, the cocktails were flowing! The dance party was lit! Our guests were in awe of the beauty of the place and so impressed. We owe it all to them as our day was absolutely flawless and magical. We didn't use a wedding planner with Latrobe's because they more than prepare and help you get to your moment. When we do vow renewals, we are coming back ladies!

y they can think of. I wanted to have fan dancers at our reception and Rylan suggested having the girls stand on podiums. It created such a New Orleans feel! They helped organize our tables to work with the flowers that we were trying to stay within budget on. They created a calm, serene environment for our ceremony. They coordinated all of our entertainment so that it was seamless. They let us have all the fun that we wanted! During the planning process, Rylan was trouble shooting far before we could even predict a potential problem. All our guests just loved the venue and the magic of being in the middle of the French quarter. Take our advice and book this place for your wedding! You will be beyond impressed and in the best of hands!

h that being said, Millie, Rylan, and Hanna (The Ladies' of Latrob'es) made planning from a distance easy. We initially contemplated getting a wedding planner, but after meeting with The Ladies we didn't see the need. The Ladies of Latrobe's provided us with a list of recommended vendors and we stuck to that list, after doing our own research of course, and we were not disappointed. Every vendor they recommended was spot on with our vision. Everything came together on the big day flawlessly! We felt like the King and Queen on our big day and honestly we didn't have to worry about a thing everything was taken care of and we just danced the night away. Our guests raved about the warm hospitality and delicious food served at our venue. We have been told on several occassions that our wedding was like no other, and we have the Ladie's of Latrobe's to thank for that!

and much more. They gave us a timeline to stick to, were organized and responsive, and very friendly. We had several in-person meetings before the big day. They know what they're doing- trust their expertise! The venue itself is amazing. You really don't have to decorate it much, as it is so beautiful on it's own. We received MANY compliments about the space on our wedding night. Not to mention, the Latrobe's team was there the entire time tending to your needs and making sure everything ran smoothly. We wanted a true New Orleans wedding and that is exactly what we got. Thank you Hana, Milli and Rylan!

was No. 11 on that list and when we walked into the space, we both immediately knew this was the right choice. The location is in the heart of the French Quarter, and as we had a high percentage of out of town guests, we wanted to be somewhere people could get a true flavor of Nola and be in a convenient area to walk. Latrobe's is just so well set up and our wedding had a perfect "flow." Guests commented on the beautiful building, how they appreciated moving from entry way to ceremony space to reception room (I was told their was an audible "gasp" when they opened the reception doors and moved into the ballroom space), to the Second Line exit. The service was impeccable and the food / drink excellent. The Latrobe's team is also very selective on their vendors . I appreciated that because given the other high reviews, I knew their vendors had to also be good so we just stuck to their list when wedding planning and it alleviated a LOT of stress. Their vendors have all worked together and with Latrobe's so many times that they have an excellent rhythm going on and everything went smoothly. We also appreciated how they had an attendant for us, for our parents, how they made sure we ate before we joined the reception - all these little touches made for a perfect night. They were also invaluable in providing input with other areas of our wedding like photos, timing, etc. Many venues basically just provide the bricks and mortar but with Latrobe's, you had a de facto wedding planner with their team (although we highly recommend Girls in Black for actual wedding planning too). We had a Buddhist ceremony - a first for their team - and they were great working with us on the altar table and understanding the nuances of a new tradition. All in all, a great decision to have a wedding at Latrobe's.

immediate families were well taken care of and never had an empty glass in hand! The historical aspect of the venue has so much character that captures the city of New Orleans perfectly! The food was also a major selling point for us and our guests are still raving about how good it was! I can not say enough good things about Rylan and Milli! They are both so professional and made sure our wedding ran smoothly without a hitch! Rylan made sure that everyone was informed about when and where they were supposed to be. You will not be disappointed in choosing Latrobe's for your wedding venue!

the way and were so attentive on the actual day. They even helped my family carry off our things at the end of the night! Stunning location for both reception and ceremony. Our guests say this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and I have the Ladies Latrobe to thank!
