The Tigermen Den

ay-of but throughout the entire planning process. They even helped us coordinate having our ceremony at the cute Clouet Gardens directly across the street. The space was perfect for our size wedding (about 80 people) and they provided almost everything (tables, chairs, water coolers, bar carts, etc.) and had a full kitchen we were able to use. Matthew had sent us a blueprint of the Den as well as an inventory list ahead of time which was extremely helpful when figuring out exactly what else we needed and where everything should go. It also allowed us to keep our costs down. That being said, we were also very thankful they let us stock our own bar and did not require us to use their preferred caterer like most venues do. We were able to have the kegs on the back porch, the bar stocked with our favorite spirits and the pizza stacked ceiling high - just like we had hoped! Other things we were very happy with was the amount of street parking around this area. My dad was worried about this in particular and thought we would need to hire valet but we decided not to and we had no trouble whatsoever. Also because the venue is so charming, we didn't have to do very much decorating; again, keeping the costs down. They allowed us to hire an attendant (who kept the bathrooms stocked and picked up after guests, keeping the area clean throughout the night) and a bartender through them which was very convenient. We were glad they had SONOS speakers throughout the venue, as well as on the back porch, since we worked hard on our reception playlist and was able to play it off our iPad without having to source a PA system. It goes without saying that I would high recommend the Tigermen Den for any event - big or small!

y get married in NOLA and not have a charming old spot. In the end we choose The Tigermen Den for a few reasons. One, it was affordable. We did not want to have an outrageous budget for our wedding and the base rent was totally with in our price range. We had a 60 person wedding . Another point is they let us set up who ever we wanted for catering and bring in our own booze. They recommended a few people they like for events as well. We went with Jacquimos and they were amazing! Professional and the best tasting nola food ever. Phinnie was our point person and she was down to earth and clear. The space is totally adorable and is a good mix of charming and unique. They have a lot more things then other space. Nice hand made wood tables, vintage chairs, table cloths, bar on wheels, vases for flowers, candles, plates, silverware, glassware. It is in the Bywater so its not a super central location and off the beaten path a bit and some parking but most of our guests took uber any ways so that did not matter. They close at 10pm so we had a after toast at Mimi’s down the street but by then the older folks had already head out. My pictures came out great with the wood back grounds and the Clouet Gardens across the street. They have a cute small back yard and lucky for us the weather was great. Phinnie was also helpful with our bar set up and helped us set up a bar with out a lot of waste and set it all up for us. I am glad I got the Den to help with several things so day of I did not have to worry but the things I wanted to do they were fine with us doing it our selves. Overall this could be a good spot for someone looking for a charming spot out side the quarter who wants to have support and not rent everything to bring to the space but wanted to be hands on to planning much of the wedding themselves. Oh and they also run cool events during the week for the community so it felt good to support a space that helps out local. I give the Den at thumbs up!

e. The bar service they provide is on point, and they always have creative suggestions for how to best use the space. I LOVE that they include beautiful wooden tables and chairs for your use and also dishes, flatware, and linens! You get so much when you book the den for an intimate wedding, rehearsal dinner, or brunch - especially an experience your guests will never forget. I also love the location, it's nestled right in the Bywater, which in my opinion is an ideal neighborhood to stay in if you're coming from elsewhere. Great restaurants, dedication to the arts, adorable architecture, history, breweries, and proximity to the Quarter and Marigny neighborhoods make the Bywater a must-stay.

d 110 people which was perfect, and we spread the bars out to encourage guests to wander. Having spaces away from the music was nice for our guests who weren't interested in dancing.

ce with so much natural beauty and funky decor that you don't have to do much to dress it up. The courtyard area was perfect as well. It was great that they let us choose our own caterer and provide our own alcohol. The full industrial kitchen was a big help to our caterers. They offer a lot of extras and were super helpful and accommodating. I would recommend The Tigermen Den. I think it would work for a lot of different events!

ations. It was a beautiful venue and people loved the rustic feel of it!

essly, and even called the food vendor when they hadn't shown up by the time things had started. The venue itself is just so kitschy, and Lou was absolutely a wonderful help during the reception.

ur liaison, was incredibly helpful with everything, from helping with set-up to serving as our bar tender. We couldn't possibly have asked for a better place to get married!

make sure our plannerless wedding went off without a hitch--coordinating seamlessly with our caterers, advising us about how to stock the bar and work the speaker system, coming up with special touches to delight our guests, calming our nerves, and serving as our bartender on the big night, among other things. He went above and beyond to make everything lovely. Can't recommend this magical place highly enough.
