The Barnett is a one-of-a-kind hotel and wedding venue located in the heart of downtown New Orleans. Housed in the former Barnett Furniture building—just steps from picturesque St. Charles Avenue and tucked behind historic Lafayette Square—this revitalized landmark blends timeless Southern charm with modern sophistication. With the city’s iconic streetcar line gliding past the front doors, couples even have the opportunity to make a truly unforgettable entrance—imagine your wedding party arriving by streetcar!
Whether you're planning an elegant rooftop affair or an intimate dinner with your closest friends and family, The Barnett offers a variety of flexible spaces to suit your celebration. Exchange vows under vine-covered pergolas with sweeping views of the city skyline on the rooftop terrace. Host a grand reception in the 4,000-square-foot Barnett Hall, or dance the night away in Good Measure, our signature music venue with authentic New Orleans flair. For more intimate gatherings, the Barnett Dining Room and its adjoining patio offer a charming backdrop for rehearsal dinners and small receptions, while the cozy Green Room is perfect for private toasts or pre-wedding moments.
As a full-service hotel, The Barnett offers everything you need for a seamless celebration, including beautifully appointed guest rooms with exposed brick walls, curated local art, and modern comforts. With five dining and cocktail outlets on-site, rooftop views, and pet-friendly accommodations, your guests will experience the very best of New Orleans without ever leaving the building.
At The Barnett, your wedding isn’t just an event—it’s a love letter to New Orleans.

This is a fantastic place for a wedding. It was easy to get a second line band, and it is out of the French quarter. Good location with best restaurants in the city.
