Latrobe's on Royal Reviews

To start, I think my wedding was without a doubt the best night of my life thanks to Latrobe's. To us, the night was perfect. From the champagne skirt upon reception entrance, to the INCREDIBLE food, the staff dancing with everyone on the dance floor, Marte making sure we were always having fun and had a drink in hand, to Rylan at the helm of a second line to end the night. I can't even count how many people came up to us to sing praises of the Latrobe's team, but if I had to guess, it was all 120 of our guests! The Latrobe's team are some of the most wonderful people we've ever had the pleasure of meeting and we will never forget all that they did for us. I truly don't think there is a venue out there that does it better than them. We have had the time of our lives working with these wonderful people to pull off our New Orleans destination wedding and my only wish is that I can do it all over again with them every year. From the very bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything!

The team at latrobes is absolutely phenomenal! Not only is the venue stunning, but Rylan and the team made the entire experience so seamless. They are family now and we will cherish the weekend forever! Everything from the food to the atmosphere to the vendors was flawless and we couldn’t have done it without Latrobes ❤️

The team at Latrobe’s is absolutely fantastic! My husband and I are from NYC and got married this past October. Millie, Rylan, and Hana from start to finish were beyond helpful, especially with planning a wedding from out-of-state. The venue is so unique and gorgeous and the on-site team is spectacular. We would like to give a very special thanks to Marté, who helped us on our wedding day to make sure things ran smoothly and perfectly. The food and drinks were just as wonderful. We can’t say how many times our guests told us this was the best wedding they had ever been to. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

Loved everything about Latrobe's. Location, food, staff. I would highly recommend having your event at Latrobe's. They handled everything for the second line too

Latrobe’s hosted our wedding ceremony and reception in April 2023, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome. The staff goes above and beyond to take care of the finer details and puts you at ease throughout the process — they’re responsive, thoughtful, and give your wedding the love and attention it needs to thrive. The historic space is such a crowd pleaser and has a genuine New Orleans feel. Wedding decisions are always tough, but Latrobe’s will always absolutely be the right decision.

My wife and I cannot speak highly enough of Latrobe's and the ladies that run the place. They are experts in parties/weddings and made the planning seamless. They know the place well and so help guide bands, photographers, and florists who all also know the place well and what it takes to do a wedding in the French Quarter. It was no big deal to have a Colombian "hora loca" at our wedding and they helped make that happen. The building itself is gorgeous, the food delicious. Everyone we know said the wedding was amazing and Latrobe's was one of the main reasons.

I can't say enough about Latrobe's! Taking on the huge responsibility of coordinating my son's wedding was made easier with the help of Hana and Rylan, and their invaluable assistance and suggestions. They were always available with prompt replies to my questions and emails - great communication throughout. The wedding ceremony was held at Latrobes, as well as the reception, and the space was magical. A true New Orleans setting. And the food was incredible, from the tasty appetizers to the melt-in-your-mouth roast beef. Service throughout the evening was impeccable. The entire experience, from planning beginnings to party's end, was wonderful!

If you are planning an event or wedding- do not go further, call Latrobe’s now. You cannot have a better experience than at this beautiful historic space with the rockstar team led by Millie, Hana and Rylan. We had our wedding ceremony and reception here in November 2021 and cannot say enough about how much we loved it.

The Space: You are in awe by how grand and historic every part of the space is from the entryway to the reception space. The ceilings are very high, the color of the space is warm and you truly do not need to decorate very much because the space is so beautiful. It also is very flexible for your number of guests and flow of events. We decided to do both our ceremony and reception here. We had the ceremony in the courtyard space (which is indoors) and then flowed through into the reception space for our cocktail-style reception. We had about 120 guests and it felt very comfortable. Definitely suggest doing the cocktail-style reception. We wanted to do a seated dinner, but ended up choosing the cocktail-style reception. It gave guests more flexibility and more dancing!

The Food and Drink: WOW- everything is delicious here. We had many guests say this was the best food they had ever had at a wedding and many said it was the best food they had in New Orleans! The menu is expansive to fit any event and they are creative to fit your event or audience, especially when it comes to accommodating food allergies. Make sure to order the Ahi Tuna and the rice and beans- our favorites! Also, the bar is amazing- folks drink sazeracs to old fashioneds all night!! The bar packages include everything you need.

The Planning: Working with Millie, Hana and Rylan was so fun, organized and they never let you become overwhelmed. They take care and think of every detail so you do not need a wedding planner, unless you need major help on things unrelated to the wedding space. Not only did they help us with the details related to the venue, they ensured that we were thinking about a smooth whole wedding day including tips for our officiant, organizing our photo list to organizing the second line. When you sign your contract they also give you a list of vendors- we used it for every decision from decorating, hotel blocks, and hair.

The People: This may be slightly repetitive but all of the staff at Latrobe's are just so kind and thoughtful at every turn. The planning process with Millie, Hana and Rylan was a delight and they were patient when we had a million repetitive questions and encouraging as we embarked on planning our wedding while we lived far away. I even caught them at one point helping sew one of our guests dresses that had ripped- they really show the best care. The other staff from the waitstaff to bartenders were truly kind, thoughtful and so hospitable. Q who took us around all night made us feel comfortable, cared for and so special.

The Couples Experience: Guests had the best experience but we should also say as the couple it was so thoughtfully laid out. The flow for my husband and I was perfect. After the ceremony, they had a plate of food with champagne for my husband and I to enjoy with a moment of quiet before we entered the party. They checked on us throughout the night to make sure we had anything we needed. We felt so cared for and got to eat which no couple ever says!

We are already starting to save up to do another party for an anniversary at Latrobe’s. You will only regret not going with Latrobe’s.

This location is absolutely amazing. The building is stunning and promises to be a beautiful location for any event.

If you're considering booking at Latrobe's, don't second guess yourself. JUST DO IT. You will not be disappointed. Jessie and Rylan were so helpful through our entire planning process. One of the most helpful things was the 'preferred vendor list' they provided upon booking. We booked everything off of their list: our photographer, band, flowers, ceremony musician, and candles. It made wedding planning so easy! The second we walked into Latrobe's on our wedding night felt like a dream. The venue is so old New Orleans with the perfect french quarter charm. The building without decor is so gorgeous, but oh my goodness when it's lit with candlelight and roses it is just so incredibly romantic. Not to mention the FOOD. Every single dish was to die for. We got so many compliments from our guests about how perfect our wedding was and how delicious the food was. Everyone warned me to be prepared if anything went wrong on my wedding day... but NOTHING went wrong. It was perfect. Latrobe's was perfect. My husband and I even spent the next night after our wedding walking around the french quarter. We stood across the street staring at Latrobe's, overwhelmed with emotions from the night before and even let out a few tears of joy. Latrobe's now has such a special place in our hearts. If you want a fairytale wedding, book Latrobe's!

Do yourself a favor and book Latrobe's on Royal for your next event (wedding, rehearsal dinner...anything!)! Milli, Jessie, Rylan and team know what they're doing and will do everything they can to make sure you and your guests are comfortable, well fed, happy and having the time of their lives! We booked Latrobe's on Royal for our halloween wedding reception and it was incredible. Every stage of the process was very smooth. The Besh Group does an amazing job of catering and the Latrobe's team works very closely with them to ensure that your cuisine is everything you could have ever dreamed of (go with the oyster bar!). We can't say enough wonderful things about the entire experience. Book Latrobe's...now! And, do it before someone else books your day!

Choosing Latrobe's was one of the best decisions we made. My husband and I couldn't be happier. The planning was so easy, the service was incredible, and the venue is gorgeous. Jessie and Rylan were fantastic to work with and made planning enjoyable. They took great care of us. The layout was perfect for our wedding and their recommendations for vendors made a huge difference. They were accommodating, flexible, and patient. Our guests were raving about the location, the service, the food, and the atmosphere. Jessie, Rylan, and the Latrobe's staff made our day extra special. I highly recommend hosting weddings and events at Latrobe's.

The most important and best decision that we made about our wedding was choosing Latrobe's for our ceremony and reception. The venue is stunningly beautiful and really gives guests the feel of authentic New Orleans. It was so nice to have everything inside in a climate-controled space that allowed us all to relax and not worry about what would happen if it rained, or was too hot. That peace of mind was worth more than we can say. 
From the moment we booked the space, Jessie and Ryland and their staff took care of all of the heavy lifting. They made well-informed and thoughtful suggestions about their favorite vendors (who became our favorite as well.) During the planning they were both attentive to our specific needs and requests and invaluable with their knowledge and expertise regarding timing, flow and the myriad other details which led to the success of our wedding. They treated us all with respect and patience, and guided us towards decisions which both fulfilled our vision and worked within the framework of their experience.
The night of the wedding, Jessie and Ryland felt more like friends and guests than "coordinators," while still kicking butt and doing their jobs to the utmost effect. The entire event ran like clockwork and if there was a problem or issue, we certainly had no idea. We were able to relax and have a crazy good time at our own wedding (how often do people - especially the bride - get to say that?!) knowing that we were in the most capable hands. 
The John Besh food was outstanding and plentiful. Most of our guests were out-of-towners so it was important to us that they had the opportunity to enjoy the particular culinary ouevre which is New Orleans cuisine.  Months later we are still hearing rave reviews of the food. The fried oyster appetizers and the brisket, the bread pudding and the artichoke cheesecakes were all crowd favorites.  We, of course, didn't eat a thing at the wedding (we were too busy dancing up a storm!), but when we arri

There aren’t enough words to describe how much I loved this place. We are from the DFW area, so this was sort of (the grooms family is from NOLA) a destination wedding; familiar with the city but planning from a distance. When we visited (by appt), they immediately instilled in me that they knew what they were doing! During the tasting (delicious), we went over every detail of the reception. I left feeling like they had everything completely under control; I was free to worry about other things! During the reception, I kept waiting for something to go wrong (you always hear 'something will go wrong on your wedding day') but nothing ever did! The band was amazing (you should do everything in your power to get James Andrews) and we danced the night away! At the end of the night we did our Second Line through the Quarter and it was magical. We had a fantastic band AND Mardi Gras Indians (both came with James Andrews). For the rest of the night and since we've been home, all of our guests have mentioned (without being asked) how great the food was and how much fun they had. They all said it was the best wedding they had EVER been to! I know the price is a little scary, but that includes catering (incredible food), open bar, furniture, linens, plates, silverware, etc. If you were use all different vendors I doubt you would get such a great deal, plus you don't have to coordinate everything! You can't put a price on the ambiance and location either. There is so much built in decor inside and outside Latrobe's, you don't have to hassle with outside rentals (although I did use Luminous Events for candles). I actually don't think there are any other places in the Quarter that can accommodate larger guest lists (besides hotels). $30k was a min. for March (a desirable time of year) and we reached that with 200 guests plus upgrading the food and bar options. I really can't say enough about this place!

The staff at Latrobe's were beyond amazing and helped guarantee that our wedding day was perfect. During the planning phase, Laura and Rylan were responsive and happily answered any questions I had about menu options or floor plans. On our wedding day, Rylan, Laura, and Julian went above and beyond to ensure that my husband and I, our parents, and the bridal party were taken care of. We've received rave reviews from our guests about the gorgeous space and the incredible food. We are so happy we chose Latrobe's for our wedding!

This place was unbelievable!! Beautiful, timeless setting, delicious food, and wonderful setup. The bars were never crowded. The food --- omg, the food. The people were so awesome to work with. They were pretty much wedding planners on the day of the event. The bride doesn't have to worry about a thing! I was directed to everything at a certain time - time for cake cutting, first dance, bouquet toss, outfit change, etc... This really made me enjoy my day. My mass ended very early, so we arrived a half hour early - no problem. They were ready for us! I didn't even look at another venue. When you walk into this space, you are blown away.

My husband and I were BLESSED to have our wedding at Latrobe's. We predominantly worked with Laura - who I LOVE - and the only thing I had to worry about leading up to and on the day of the wedding was fitting into my dress, LOL (which was AMAZING especially being that I was an out of town bride)! The Latrobe's team takes such great care of you from the first time you walk in to the end of your event. They take care of coordinating with your vendors and ensure the entire event runs smoothly. Quinton & I had a PERFECT wedding and we have to thank Latrobe's (in large part) for it!
Side note: The Latrobe's team was very accommodating in allowing us to view the venue multiple times, answering any and all questions we had, offering suggestions, working with our budget, and even added in a last-minute rehearsal (because I started to get nervous that I would mess things up without one!). BEST VENUE EVER

Most unique and beautiful venue in New Orleans!!

Latrobe's was the perfect setting for our New Orleans wedding! The ambiance, the architecture, the food, the staff, everything was perfect! I cannot tell you how many people have said it was "the BEST WEDDING EVER!" I know it was for me, and I really do believe they mean it too.

This is the most beautiful venue in new Orleans. The food is incredible, Jessica was wonderful to work with, and everything was absolutely perfect.

An amazing venue and the food is phenomenal. There's nothing comparable in NOLA.

Jessica was wonderful. They were flexible with everything from the menu to picture taking. the venue is also amazingly new orleans!!

This venue is gorgeous, food is amazing, staff is endlessly helpful, & we had the most perfect wedding here Halloween night 2009. You will not be disappointed!!!

We could not have had a more perfect wedding at Latrobe's! The staff were so helpful and made everything run so smoothly! Our guests loved the food and the venue and are still talking about it!
