About

Ace Hotel is a luxury hotel and ballroom wedding venue located in the Warehouse District of New Orleans. Congratulations on falling in love and deciding to make it a forever thing. It's always a good idea to say yes to love, and New Orleans is the place to wear your heart prominently stitched on your sleeve.

Whether you want to get hitched in the middle of a Second Line parade or waltz in a traditional Cajun wedding march, Ace Hotel New Orleans is a place for it all. Our Barnett Event Complex offers a collection of spaces that can be combined or separated in myriad ways - just as suited for intimate gatherings as for grand, raucous receptions.

Location
Ace Hotel is on the corner of Carondelet and Lafayette street in the Warehouse District, one of the best cities on earth. Housed in a 1928 Art Deco building, the historic nine-story building stood as Barnett's Furniture Store until the 1970s and now stands as an homage to New Orleans' intrepid spirit of joie de vivre and community. Like the city, Ace is infused with disparate inspirations, with design elements inspired by Paris, the 1920s, Art Deco, and gothic light, with thoroughly considered modern details and warm spaces. A short walk to the French Quarter, we're close to art galleries, shopping, museums, and restaurants, and you can see Mardi Gras parades if you crane your neck. But with oysters and cocktails at Seaworthy, handmade pasta at Josephine Estelle, live music at our venue Three Keys, and a rooftop pool and lounge, it's okay if you and yours never want to leave.

Wedding Amenities
Your wedding should be beautiful, stress-free, and unforgettable. We want you to revel in the moment with your loved ones, then ride out into eternal blissville. So let your hair down and leave the details to us - we've got you covered on all the big and little things. For weddings of 100 or more, you'll also receive a complimentary wedding night in a standard suite, champagne on arrival to toast the big day, and breakfast for two as newlyweds.

Our wedding package includes the following:

  • Staff
  • Chairs
  • Tables
  • China
  • Silverware
  • Black or White Table Linens & Napkins
  • Glassware
  • Bistro Lights in Courtyard

Facilities and Capacity
Weddings in New Orleans are extraordinary. There's something profoundly magical about saying "I Do" in the Crescent City, and our event spaces are emblematic of New Orleans' ineffable spirit of love and perpetual celebration. Totaling over 10,700 sq ft, we've carved out a collection of intimate nooks to suit every party's needs with Art Deco detailing throughout, amenities aplenty, and perfectly low lights to set the mood.

Fabulous Experience

My daughter’s wedding reception was held at the Ace on April 8, 2022. All I can say is WOW!! What an absolute spacious perfect place for a reception! The Barnett Hall is huge! It’s clearly large enough for a ceremony but she chose a church for that part.

We had a live band, 4 bars, Plum Street Snoball, and approximately 250 guests. There was plenty of room for everything! The staff was extremely accommodating with the day of timing to get all the outside vendors set up.

The night of the celebration was fabulous! The staff was very attentive and made sure all our needs and our guests needs were met. The food from The Josephine Estelle was phenomenal.

We could not have chosen a more perfect venue! The entry to the wedding is a beautiful old New Orleans brick courtyard next to Seaworthy restaurant. The ambiance of the lighting led the way to a spectacular night and lifelong memories!

Phenomenal Staff Made for an Incredible Wedding

We had our wedding at the Ace Hotel on October 2 and can’t say enough about how special the Ace Hotel and their staff made our wedding weekend. Against all odds, Hurricane Ida hit New Orleans a month before and Covid, they went over and beyond to make our wedding a wonderful success. Ryan and Bonnie did a great job working with us to get the day setup despite being displaced by the hurricane. They were present the day of to assure the setup went smooth and everything went off without a hitch. They handed it over to John who made sure the night went off flawlessly. The food was amazing and bartenders were amazing. Definitely make sure to include the short ribs on your menu. People are still talking about them. John assigned Jamie the sole responsibility to take care of us through the night and she did not disappoint. We were never without a full drink or a plate of food. Every time we turned around, she was right there making sure we had everything we needed to make this night special. I can’t say enough how great the night was for us and how it exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you to everyone at Ace for making this a great night for us and our entire party.

Amazing hotel that will go out of their way to make your stay perfect

My husband and I cannot say enough great things about the staff at the Ace Hotel New Orleans! We originally were to marry in May 2020 and had picked the Ace hotel as one of our top choices. After talking with the staff, we knew this was our spot and immediately made a room block there. Covid got in the way and they made moving our room block dates smooth and painless! We ended up moving our date 3 times. On top of that, they made sure our guests were taken care of with the highest service while booking and during their stay. Vicki, Brenda, Shakita, Ryan and the entire ACE Staff were exceptional! Hurricane Ida occurred during our stay and they went above and beyond to make us feel safe and prepared during the storm. We would highly recommend everyone stay here because of their phenomenal customer service and positive attitudes! Of course, the rooms are amazing, along with the restaurants and events they hold are a bonus on top too! We can’t wait to return. If there was a 6 star option, they would get it!

Intimate Destination Wedding

My wife and I decided that since one of our families would have to travel to either Los Angeles where I'm from or to Denver where she's from, we would take the opportunity to get married in New Orleans and force both families to travel. Why not?! It's always been a destination I've considered. Plus it gave everyone a great reason to book that first (semi)post-covid trip. The entire weekend was a beautiful stream of unforgettable memories. We owe it all to the staff! Planning a wedding via email is a bit of a leap of faith, but communication was easy. I'm a big fan of asking the experts for their opinions. The Ace team offered their experience every step of the way from room bookings to timing to menus. Most importantly was how flexible they were right up to the date. Unfortunately there was a surge in covid cases in the weeks before our wedding causing a few guests to drop out. I admit it spawned a few small anxiety attacks, until the Ace assured me the rooms could be cancelled and the plates adjusted. Once we checked in we felt immediate calm. The whole hotel knew who we were, constantly greeting us and checking in on us. The pool was an extra little oasis when we needed it. The convenient lobby bar was abused by my party. The coffee shop on property was a delicious daily meeting place for the families to plan out their days. There was an incredible Belgian cello player that happened to be performing at the hotel's venue Three Keys one night. On the wedding day, we had a personal events member team up with my best friend to turn their already elaborate, dark, sexy, candle-filled Barnett Dining Room into the gorgeous dinner party of our dreams. He was there all day, he counted down our entrance, and became such a friend by that point that he even took some candid camera phone photos of our second line march to add to our library! It was an all-in-one experience that left little for me to worry about.

The Ace Experience is Unmatched

Our decision to use Ace Hotel NOLA as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we have ever made. From start to finish, their staff was professional, friendly, and accommodating. Our original wedding date had to be moved a year due to the pandemic and Ace did a wonderful job helping us navigate contracts, keeping us updated on changing guidelines for the city, and giving us the flexibility to continue to work with them throughout that time. Everyone that we worked went above and beyond to make our stay and our wedding day spectacular. I cannot say enough good things about them. From the sales teams, to the front desk, to the hospitality servers, and housekeeping-everything and everyone was amazing. The Barnett Hall space was beautiful and the food was great. One other thing that I really appreciated about Ace is that on my wedding day, they always made sure I had a point of contact working with me and keeping me informed as our event moved throughout the day. This really made my day, as the bride, stress-free. I felt completely reassured by everyone working with me and like I was in good hands. Not to mention, the entire hotel is a vibe. I highly recommend Ace to any couples that are considering venues in the NOLA area, you won’t be disappointed. In fact, we are already planning our trip back to celebrate our one year anniversary.

Elegant and Intimate Wedding

When I tell you that the team at the Ace made my wedding dreams come true, I mean it. From start to finish, the team (shout-out to my Ace fairy godmothers Bonnie and Brenda) did everything they could to support my vision and make it a reality. My guests raved about the space, reception food, and service (like, RAVED) and their rooms were clean and beautifully prepared. Did I mention that we planned and executed everything in 2 weeks? I would recommend the Ace Hotel to anyone looking to have a stress-free and classy wedding. Can't wait to celebrate my anniversary there every year!

Beautiful & Unforgettable Wedding at the Ace

From the beginning of our interactions with the events and sales team at the Ace, we felt empowered to plan the wedding of our dreams. Planning a wedding during the height of the pandemic was one of the craziest times of my life, but Brenda, Bonnie, and Ace and Seaworthy team had our backs the whole way. They went out of their way to make our concerns and anxieties feel heard and to make our ever-shifting plans feel as steady as possible, even with the pandemic city and state regulations literally changing every hour. Even with everything hectic going on, Brenda and Bonnie helped us move forward with a sense of calm and diligence that only tried and true events professionals can provide.

Everything went off without a hitch thanks to the support of the Ace and their staff, all of whom were knowledgeable, consistent, accommodating, and compassionate toward myself and my partner, our vendors, and our guests. The health and safety of their staff and guests was always the foremost priority. The events team made my guests feel safe, relaxed, and able to fully enjoy themselves. Feedback from our guests were that they “felt like they were in a beautiful film” and that the “food was unbelievable, drinks were amazing—best wedding food” they’ve had.

Huge thanks and kudos to Bonnie for being a sounding board and an open-minded and creative thought partner. Heartfelt thanks and kudos to Brenda for her clarity, candor, and resilience. The folks we met on our wedding day (Josephine Estelle and Seaworthy staff especially Stephen, Ryan, Jack, and everyone at the front desk and security) made us feel extra special and cared for. They were incredibly warm and helpful, catering to our needs and the needs of our guests—helping us locate lost and misplaced items, and accommodating all our asks.

I cannot say enough good things about this venue and its people. From the flexibility of their event spaces to their delicious food & beverage program to their caring staff—our experience was excellent.

Wedding at The Ace

I just got married at the Ace Hotel New Orleans and had a wonderful time! The ceremony and reception dinner on the 2nd floor terrace were beautiful, and we loved doing the champagne toast in the Barnett Courtyard.

Wonderful experience

I live in New Orleans and had the wedding of my dreams at the Ace Hotel in December 2020. The event staff made the experience easy and took away a lot of the anxiety I had about planning my wedding. The hotel itself is a glamorous art deco spot, absolutely stunning and full of New Orleans character and unique artistic details. I loved that Ace provides an event manager staff to help with logistics. Food, drinks, tables, customized menus with our names and the date, everything was taken care of without having to coordinate multiple vendors, and practically zero effort on my end. They were flexible, accommodated our every request, and were warm, friendly and easy to work with. The event manager I worked with, Bonnie, was on site the day of the wedding making sure everything ran smoothly and she was an absolute angel. The food was amazing, our guests were impressed, and everything went perfectly. I couldn't be happier with our choice of venue for the wedding. I highly recommend Ace, especially to those looking to reduce the amount of planning work for themselves.

Wonderful Experience, Highly Recommend

The Ace and their wonderful event staff made our wedding truly a special and memorable event despite the ongoing global pandemic. The fact that we were able to throw a super fun party in this climate where both staff and guests felt safe is a testament their time and care in making our wedding a reality. Whenever a new consideration or idea popped into our heads, Brenda and the rest of our contacts there were a quick phone call or email away and always responded promptly and with a matched enthusiasm. We cannot thank them enough for their time and hard work in making our event a reality and have gotten nothing but compliments from our family and friends who were able to attend, many saying it was such a reprieve from the daily grind of 2020 and so nice to feel just a bit "normal" and safe for an evening. We cannot thank the Ace enough for giving us this and we highly recommend them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
