Solari Orleans is a historic wedding venue on the iconic Saint Charles Avenue in the Garden District in New Orleans, LA. The building was designed by an architect named Thomas Sully in 1886 and has stood ever since while restoration work has maintained the original Victorian elements.
Spanning over 2,900 sq ft, Solari Orleans offers you and your guests several beautiful locations for a wedding ceremony and reception. The venue can accommodate up to 300 of your closest friends and family for a lavish celebration while also offering services for smaller, more intimate gatherings. Purposely designed in neutral tones, this Greek revival setting encourages you to bring your vision to the table and decorate the location with the colors and themes that reflect your love story. Once inside the building, guests will marvel at the ornate staircase and artistic crown moldings before gazing out the windows at a courtyard and fountain steeped in old-world charm. The Grand Ballroom is where your loved ones can enjoy a delicious multi-course feast before making their way to the dance floor to party the night away and make memories never to be forgotten.
Solari Orleans epitomizes sophistication and elegance, and its on-site team will make sure your experience exceeds your expectations in every way. You can begin the planning process by arranging a private consultation with a staff member to discuss your wedding day plans in detail. The dedicated team at Solari Orleans will work with you throughout to ensure a seamless and luxurious wedding day and night.

Absolutely exceptional! We hosted a beautiful evening here and the staff was so friendly and accommodating! We had a lot of our guests visit New Orleans from out-of-town and Solari...
was able to accommodate sleeping arrangements for 30 of our guests between this property and the sister property they have that's just a block away. Everything was seamless!

There’s an entire crew on site for anything we needed. So accommodating and professional. The indoor space is HUGE with tons of historical architecture (our photos looked amazing)...
, plus outdoors there’s a large courtyard, large patio, and a terrace. We enjoyed roaming the grounds and sitting on the porch watching the streetcars pass. This place is a GEM
