5+++++++ STARS for The Capital on Baronne!
We were planning our wedding in New Orleans from Indianapolis, and it has been 20 years since I moved away from my beloved city. With many out-of-towners coming in for the wedding, it was important for us to give them the best New Orleans experience. And did Brittani and the team at the Capital deliver!! The architecture of this building stands on its own. You can see from the picture what they offer for ambiance and mood. It is undeniably the most beautiful space we visited and our color palette and floral design worked beautifully with the building.
But what you can't capture in pictures is the team at the Capital. From the security guard in the lobby, to every single person who was part of the planning process and the night itself, they all captured the essence of the New Orleans community. So many guests came up to us afterwards and mentioned how kind and over-the-top accommodating the team was throughout the night. They walked around and asked guests if there was anything they could do for them and I proudly responded to our guests - this is New Orleans, you'll never meet a stranger here! It warmed our hearts hearing that the team went out of their way for the comfort of our guests. And Patsy more than took care of me and my husband - she was so funny and a complete rockstar!!
And the food...we sat with Michelle during our tasting and she was so helpful with her recommendations. The gumbo - whoa! - delish! And everyone raved about the shrimp & grits and crabcakes, to name a few. The food was a hit among guests and our dinner off to the side was wonderful as guests enjoyed their cocktail hour. Discussions about the bar menu were hysterical as we had many Bourbon and Tequila "connoisseurs" as guests. The Capital was very flexible with us on the liquor choices and guests loved their margarita and old fashions throughout the night. Hats off to the BARTENDERS!!!!!
Thank you to everyone at The Capital for helping us create one of the best nights of our lives. If you’re thinking about booking this place for your big day — DO IT. You won’t regret it, and they will make sure everything aligns with your vision for your special day.
My husband and I hosted both our ceremony and our reception at the Capital, and it was an absolute dream! We had a guest list of about 300 people, and Brittani was super helpful in making sure we had the perfect set up for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Her and her team helped the evening flow so seamlessly.
There are so many perks to hosting your event at the Capital. Firstly, the rooftop was the perfect place to do our first look and private vows. The pictures with the city in the background are stunning. Inside, the architecture was the perfect backdrop for our ceremony - that combined with the flowers and lighting made everything feel so romantic and dreamy.
One of our favorite moments was going up on the balcony after the ceremony to eat together (best food ever btw!) while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour and the space was flipped. It was awesome to watch the space transform and see all the planning we did for the event come together thanks to the amazing team at the Capital and all of their help! It was a great moment for us to just take in the day and have some time alone together before the real party began.
The beautiful architecture/history of the venue, the outstanding team working behind the scenes, and the delicious food simply can't be beat. So many of our guests have told us it was the best wedding they've attended. Highly recommend!!
Professionalism abounds at this venue! The venue is breathtakingly gorgeous and you can feel the richness and history of New Orleans throughout. The thing that makes it most special though is Michele, Brittani and Johnny Adams. They have been leaders in the New Orleans wedding industry for years and have the experience and passion to make your wedding what you want it to be. They don't do cookie- cutter weddings. Each wedding is unique to your vision and they can make you feel at ease on your wedding day knowing that they have the details covered. The food is also fantastic. It is a culinary delight of New Orleans best dishes that will rival any local restaurant. The corn and crab bisque is fabulous! 5 stars! I highly recommend The Capital on Baronne for any bride looking for a classy, beautiful, elegant venue that is run with the upmost professionalism.
I think I visited every ballroom and half the venues in the city, looking for an event space that could fit my large guest list without sacrificing New Orleans history and charm. I’m so glad I found the Capitol on Baronne!!!! It ticked all my boxes: elegant space that would wow both local and out-of-town guests, a prime location near the French Quarter, delicious food, and plenty of room to party!
I can’t say a big enough thank you to Brittani and Michele for their guidance! I knew the venue would look spectacular, but their industry knowledge and relationships with vendors made my experience even better than I imagined. I can be a bit indecisive but I trusted their advice and they never steered me wrong. I can’t imagine planning a wedding without them!!!!
I have been working with Michele and Brittani for over two decades. They continue to be the most professional team in the region. There is no detail that escapes them, and their work at The Capital is exemplary. There is not a review high enough that I can pass along for them - both as professionals and people.
The Capital, as a venue, is a unique look back at a classic New Orleans venue the way they used to be - elegant! The grand ballroom is nothing short of breathtaking, and the decor can be set to the desires of the client. Sensational lighting and food options set the venue apart from all others.
Please do yourself a favor and strongly consider this dynamic team and venue for your next event.
We chose this venue for our wedding and it gives all of the Beauty and the Beast vibes. I immediately fell in love with this venue due to it's charm, history in New Orleans, and the architecture behind it. Brittani was amazing from the start from going to see the venue, booking, and day of wedding. The food was nothing short of amazing. Everything was fresh and the drinks kept on coming! This venue was everything I could have dreamed of and more. Ample enough space for guests, bridal party, and any lagniappe you may have! The most magical night in truly the most magical and beautiful location.
Absolutley out standing! Michele and Brittani were so easy to work with. The food was excellent. We didn;t not expect it to be so good when they were feeding 300 people, but it was just as good as it was at the tasting. Chef Blakley is so talented.
You made our dreams come true and we will forever be greatful.
Michele from the bottom of our hearts we can not thank you and your staff for the amazing night . Everything was absolutely perfect. Michelle and I said numerous times that we don’t know how you do what you do, and yet you make it seem so easy. That was the most memorable night I’ve ever been a part of. Food was outstanding, staff was incredible and the Capital could not be more beautiful. Thank you for our family’s special night and weekend. ❤️🔥🍾💕 I hope we left the venue in one piece
Michelle and Brittani are truly fantastic and pros in this business! You will not be disappointed having your reception here. Besides the fact that it is a completely STUNNING building, working with Michelle, Brittani and Thaddeus is truly a treat. They help bring anything you desire to life! Their chef also create WONDERFULLY delicious food and displays for your guests!
This venue was exactly what my daughter was looking for. Something different than a ballroom. All of my guest could not stop talking about how beautiful the reception was. They also raved about the food! The location was great, walking distance from the church.
The MOST beautiful venue!! My guests could not stop talking about all of the details and timeless elegance of this venue. It is like nothing else in new orleans.
What a timeless treasure! If you’re searching for a venue to WOW your guest for any occasion, the Capital on Baronne is the location for you. I’ve had the pleasure to shoot campaign ads and a commercial at the Capital and my experience has always been glamorous. From the details of the columns, to the management team Michele and Brittani, you will not be disappointed.
My wife and I got Married December 29, 2019. First I'll start by saying the venue is incredible and breathtaking when all lit up. All of our guests were blown away! We had our ceremony and reception on site. We had 250 guests and it all went seamless.
Their recommendations from food to dance floor rentals a to band were great. Easy to deal with and great communication between the vendors and the Capital Staff
We also used Michele as our wedding coordinator and we are so happy we did. She made it all come together! So easy to work with and accommodating. She always made us feel comfortable and Calm. Which is hard to with so many things to coordinate.
All in all Best night of our lives and I wouldn't change any of it.
Classic New Orleans venue that suits any need for a large event or wedding. I visited during another event and could see the flexibility and classic style the venue offered. The Capital checked off everything on my wants list including a historic ballroom, a bride's room, incredibly elegant bathrooms, and plenty of space for dancing.
If you are looking for an elegant venue, look no further. My daughter had her wedding reception here in January. I received compliment after compliment on how beautiful the reception was. This space is elegant to begin with, then adding flowers and candles made it breathtaking. The venue staff, Michele and Brittani, were a pleasure to work with and made everything easy for us. They coordinated with our wedding planner and vendors and stayed for the reception duration to ensure that the evening went smoothly. Seeing this place in person is a must, the pictures just don't do it justice!
