The French Quarter Lanaux Mansion is a wedding venue in New Orleans, Louisiana, that casts a glance over the famous, vibrant music scene of Frenchman Street, Jackson Square, and Bourbon Street. Its location may be familiar to TV and movie fans, with the historic B&B appearing throughout Brad Pitt's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Since 1879, it has been frequented by actors, movie crews, and prominent figures from history, as well as besotted couples planning to celebrate their wedding day with style and grace.

Facilities and Capacity

Bedecked in lavish 19th-century decor, the French Quarter Lanaux Mansion is capable of hosting weddings, corporate events, birthdays, cocktail receptions, and so much more. Civil War-era wallpaper, several pieces of furniture, and a grand piano have stood the test of time, with the piano still capable of making beautiful music at over 170 years old. It sits proudly in the Benjamin Button Salon, a reception area featuring vaulted ceilings that soar overhead, and a perfect mix of classic period architecture and sophisticated, refined amenities. The Salon accommodates up to 60 people for a seated dinner, and a further 40 for a standing reception, while the overall capacity can reach 150 when pairing the room together with its outdoor courtyard.

The Perfect New Orleans Wedding

The Lanaux Mansion is incredible; from the history to the architecture, there isn’t a better intimate location for a New Orleans wedding. The staff was even more amazing. They were so incredibly kind and helpful in the planning process and were such great hosts for our family and friends. We rented out the entire venue for the weekend for lodging, wedding ceremony, and reception. Beth and her team became our family. We still keep in touch over 4 years later!

Dreamy French Quarter wedding venue

Our rehearsal dinner could not have been more magical, and that’s entirely thanks to this incredible venue. The perfect balance between elegance and comfort. The décor was breathtaking— evoking the history and charm of the French Quarter of days gone by—and created the ideal backdrop for photos and heartfelt toasts. The staff went above and beyond to make every detail seamless. They were attentive without ever feeling intrusive, and their timing was impeccable.

What impressed us most was how effortlessly the venue handled the flow of the evening. Everything felt coordinated and smooth, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy time with our loved ones before the big day. It set the tone for our wedding weekend perfectly. We loved our rooms with the balcony overlooking beautiful Esplanade Avenue! If you’re looking for a true New Orleans experience and rehearsal dinner venue that combines exceptional service, unforgettable ambiance, and genuine hospitality, look no further. This place is an absolute gem!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
