NYE Wedding 2021

There was no doubt in my mind that Livaudais Hall wasn't my wedding venue. I immediately feel in love with it when I found it online. My husband is a New Orleans native and his only request was to have our wedding in New Orleans. After speaking with Sam, we were completely sold on having our NYE wedding here and met with her about a week later. Livaudais Hall is truly a gorgeous gem. The timeless venue allows you to do so much because its a blank canvas. If we could have our wedding celebration every year, I'd choose this venue over and over again. Lastly, everyone we worked with was very patient, thorough, and pleasant.

Beautiful Venue

The venue was beautiful, I was taken aback by the size and high wooden ceiling with led lighting.
The grotto was a really cool and unique feature.

Great Times at Livaudais Hall

Gorgeous new venue, with tons of indoor and outdoor space, bathrooms and prep area for catering etc. Loved the acoustics inside the church and the customizable indoor lighting. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique event space oozing with historic character and charm. Reasonably priced and easy to book, to boot.

Perfect for our fall wedding!

We were looking for a venue that felt historic and special, and Livaudais Hall perfectly fit the bill. We loved the indoor space for our ceremony and reception, and the courtyard was perfect for cocktail hour. We got so many compliments on how beautiful the space was on our wedding day! Joy, the main point of contact, was easy to communicate with and answered all our questions.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
