When we decided to hold our wedding weekend in New Orleans, we knew we wanted to give our guests an authentic New Orleans experience. Preservation Hall was the first venue we toured, and it made quite an impression. It has a beautiful courtyard in the back, a rustic carriageway, and the Hall itself is steeped in history and tradition. Debbie Guidry, the events coordinator, was extremely helpful and responsive. As part of the package to rent out the Hall, she organized the band (Tornado Brass Band, who were phenomenal), table and linen rentals, a Second Line Parade (but it rained so we didn't have it), a tent for the courtyard, booked a gospel choir for the ceremony, and coordinated with the caterer for set up and deliveries. She also aided us in setting up our DIY guest book, dessert table, menus and flowers. We had to move the ceremony to the Hall due to rain, and Debbie was able to coordinate with us to make that happen (and the ceremony in the Hall was MAGIC.) She was fabulous. The Hall is not a large venue. We had about 120 guests, and since we had to use a tent, it was the perfect amount. Table seating is not an option but the food was served as buffet, our guests loved it and we had a fantastic time. I wouldn't change a thing about our choice. The guests are still talking about it. And our photographer said it was the coolest wedding venue he had photographed. Many thanks to Debbie and the Preservation Hall staff for helping to make our wedding an amazing event.
