Stunning Venue

Hotel Peter & Paul is an absolute GEM!!! The moment I saw the venue I knew that is would be the perfect place to get married, and I was not wrong! The atmosphere feels so romantic and it really made our wedding such a special experience for all of our guests. The space is so gorgeous that we really did not need to worry about decorating since Peter & Paul is charming and stylish on its own. The on location hotel was a major plus for our out of town guests. It looks just like the photos on their website, but even better to experience in person.
Nathalie is the absolute best and was very patient and helpful navigating the planning process with us. Our venue selection was hands down my favorite part of our wedding celebration. 10/10 would do it again.

Exceptional in every way

Hotel Peter & Paul is one of the most special places that I have ever been to, and I could not recommend it more highly for a wedding, a special event, or hotel stay.

The space itself is thoughtfully designed and historic. The buildings are original, each piece of furniture carefully chosen, each space is well-curated. The hotel is both beautiful and comfortable, it strikes an amazing balance of being both peaceful and luxurious. We didn't feel the need to add any additional florals or decor for our event, the space itself was enough.

My husband and I first booked this hotel for our wedding reception sight unseen (we were wedding planning from NYC), and then we worked with the HPP team to re-book our wedding due to the pandemic. The HPP team is so easy to work with, flexible, creative, supportive, and personable. We planned a wedding together during the most uncertain of times and the team came to us with solutions on how to make things work given the complex and changing restrictions at the time. They were good to us while maintaining their own professional and safety standards. They were extremely detailed and attentive to ours/our guests' needs. It was not an easy time to be planning a wedding, but it was a joy to work with them throughout.

Needless to say we were able to have the perfect wedding, during a pandemic, and felt we didn't have to sacrifice a thing because HPP was there for us. Thank you so much HPP for existing!

A Venue Unlike Any Other

We first fell in love with this venue when it was an abandoned church, rectory, and school, many years before we left New Orleans for CA, and long before its new life as Hotel Peter and Paul. When we returned to Louisiana in May of 2018 for wedding planning and the site visit, we had no idea how stunning the renovated cathedral would be. The wall’s beautiful patina had been maintained, original stained-glass windows carefully preserved, and subtle updates added convenient amenities to the historical space. We knew it would not need decorating to make our wedding unique.

New Orleans is an amazing city on its own, rich in music, food culture, and an overwhelming sense of raw authenticity. Add to that the Marigny neighborhood, then its beacon – HPP’s bell tower, its open piazza, and connecting hotel. It did not take much convincing for 75 guests to travel from within the US and overseas for our destination wedding. HPP’s room block offered a wide range of styles and rates, so much that our guests raved about the rooms’ unique designs – “not the typical hotel,” “more like a French chateau.” Being the first wedding at the venue, we were nervous about their staff and overall service experience, but WOW! From check-in to event staff to security coordination, the ease with which they worked attentively and professionally without seeming stressed made everything flow seamlessly, and everyone relaxed throughout the weekend.

The Rectory’s Repose and Rectory Classic were the perfect rooms to get dressed in - close to each other but separate, close to our guests and the ceremony venue while having our own space.

Elysian Bar, the onsite caterer, hosted our cocktail hour in the piazza before guests entered the cathedral for dinner and dancing. The ambiance inside as the sun set was exquisite. Besides up lights to highlight the alcove in the previous alters space, the 20+ft. ceilings provided ample room for our only décor - 6ft. battery-powered, pre-lit, silver tinsel Christmas tree centerpieces on each table. The combination of the building’s lowered ambient light, the glow at each table, and exterior light beaming through the stained-glass windows illuminated the room perfectly and felt magical.

We would do it all again in a heartbeat.
