About
Felicity is a historic wedding venue in the heart of New Orleans, Louisiana, offering couples a stunning and meaningful place to celebrate love in all its forms. Built in 1888 and lovingly restored, our former church space blends timeless architecture with modern flexibility — ideal for romantic ceremonies, heartfelt receptions, and unforgettable gatherings.
Whether you envision a traditional wedding, an intimate elopement, or a vibrant second line celebration, Felicity welcomes you to bring your full story to life. We are a nondenominational, inclusive wedding venue committed to honoring all cultures, religions, orientations, and traditions. Our sanctuary is your sanctuary — a place where all are welcome, and every love story is sacred.
Our venue features:
• A dramatic restored sanctuary with stained glass windows, brick walls, and soaring ceilings
• A spacious, light-filled reception hall with original architectural details
• A private outdoor patio perfect for cocktail hour, portraits, or al fresco dining
• Dressing suites available for pre-ceremony prep and quiet moments
• ADA accessibility throughout the venue
Felicity offers flexible layouts and creative possibilities for weddings of all sizes, from 20 guests to up to 300. We’ve hosted everything from simple ceremonies and brunch receptions to black-tie soirées with full-service catering, bar packages, second line send-offs, and live bands.
On-site catering is provided by Black Pearl Catering Co., known for New Orleans-inspired menus and elevated seasonal fare. Outside catering is welcome with an additional per-head fee.
Felicity is centrally located in the Lower Garden District, close to hotels, restaurants, streetcars, and all that makes New Orleans magical. From first tours to final toasts, we are honored to be part of your love story.
