Our signature New Orleans wedding venue is, without a doubt, the Fleur de Lis Suite and Courtyard. Many of our couples plan their ceremonies in our tropical courtyard with their receptions in the luxurious Fleur-de-lis Suite-which affords an elegant backdrop with multiple options for photos. The courtyard is cared for by a full-time horticulturist and boasts a tranquil verdi gris fountain, lush ferns, bromeliads and greenery, 2 palm trees, and 4 orange trees.
