Napoleon House Reviews

We loved Napoleon House! We have been there to eat through the years so when I learned it was an available wedding/ reception venue, we jumped on the chance! All staff- from the wedding coordinator folks, to the servers, and all the behind-the-scenes people we didn't meet- were all kind , professional, and responsive. They were all so easy to work with and I feel we got a fantastic deal financially too. The prices were very reasonable for what all we received in exchange. We even left a sentimental item behind accidentally and they are going to mail it to us, no charge. Best service, great food, classic venue. Maybe we can have an anniversary party here someday! Thank y'all!

Where do I begin? Did you know that when you book a wedding venue, you also book a few friends who help guide you along the way? I didn't!

Beth and Karen at Napoleon House are AMAZING! We live in Philadelphia, so we planned everything from afar and put our trust in this dynamic duo.

We had only visited the venue once and knew it was the perfect vibe for our wedding. We had our ceremony in the courtyard, which was flipped to our reception during our second line parade. It rained, not terribly, but enough for the team to need to make some last minute adjustments to our floor plan, etc. And we trusted them every step of the way.

Our guests won't stop raving about the food, the hospitality or the overall ambiance of the venue. We knew all along we made the right choice with this venue and crew, but now that it's over and no one will stop talking about it, I'm convinced.

I feel like we can call these folks family now. Can't wait to visit again for all the delicious food we didn't get to eat because we were busy dancing!

Thank you!!!

I don't even know where to begin with my feelings on Napoleon House - I LOVE IT SO MUCH! We used NH for our destination wedding (both ceremony and reception). I was brave (and maybe semi crazy) and booked the venue completely sight unseen - I was totally reliant on all the pictures and videos that I could find online and honestly it exceeded my expectations on arrival. Upon reaching out for our initial inquiry, we were immediately connected with Karen and Beth that are honestly a dream team. These ladies are top tier professionals and had the answer to every tiny question we had. I felt so confident going into the wedding because of all the honesty and open communication we had in the months leading up to our date. They were able to provide sample floor plans and provide suggestions that truly made the day just flow perfectly. Their vendor recommendations were excellent and I truly relied on these connections to assemble an incredible team of vendors to help make our day complete. We had 80 guests at our wedding, and used the Rosa and Pietro Rooms upstairs. Per NH's suggestion, we did a second line between ceremony and reception so the staff could have room/time to flip the space. I was hesitant on doing this at first, but I cannot recommend doing this enough - it made the event that was already special, one for the memory books! I honestly am just so pleased with my experience and cannot sing enough great praises about the entire team at the NH who helped make this event run so seamlessly. Everyone at NH are tried and true professionals, genuinely lovely people to work with, and dedicated to delivering excellent service. Last but no least, the FOOD & DRINKS!!!! It was all so good and months later, I am still getting random messages from guests about how the turkey at NH was the best they've ever had. Overall, if you're thinking about NH for a wedding or event, you cannot go wrong! 10/10 recommend and I am confident you will be in great hands!

We cannot speak highly enough of our experience working with Beth and Karen at The Napoleon House, and having our reception in a building so meaningful to us and rooted in New Orleans history was very special. For starters, Beth and Karen are incredibly organized and responsive – we talked to several location sites before deciding on the Napoleon House and that’s what stuck out to us the most. They were also very upfront about cost and staff/building capabilities, so we never felt that they were pulling one over on us or having to read through fine print to get the full picture (again, something that stuck out based on conversations we had with other locations). Their vendor list is incredible – we pretty much went with every suggestion they sent our way and we couldn’t be happier with the turnout. The atmosphere of the Napoleon House is incredibly romantic and beautiful which helped in decoration costs (i.e. minimal) as there’s really not much that needed to be added. Furthermore, the team had a large amount of items we would have had to rent otherwise (chairs, linens, tables, etc.) and were willing to get creative with our ideas to use other resources they had on hand. Absolutely cannot fail to mention how good the food is – we went with buffet station style and all of our guests visiting from out of town were amazed by the quality, it was a great showcase of New Orleans cuisine and they were also creative with putting together a selection of late night snacks for our guests. Finally, the staff was super friendly and helpful for all of our guests and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time. We felt so confident with the run of show on the day of the wedding because Beth and Karen took such care of us throughout the planning process and were patient, thorough, and kind with answering all of our questions about how to pull off a destination wedding. 10/10 customer service, hospitality, food, and ambiance – we highly recommend having your wedding here!

The Napoleon House was where my husband and I fist fell in love so it made sense to bring it full circle and have our reception there. I had no idea just how amazing this idea would be. The rooms are gorgeous and require almost no additional décor, but if you do want something they allow you to pilfer their back closet of forgotten wedding décor which means I only brought some beads in to add which saved me a ton or time, money and effort...not to mention packing space since we had a destination wedding. The service was unparalleled and the food melted in your mouth (I STRONGLY suggest a carving station...or two). We were attended so well I would put my drink down to greet a guest and would have to get another because it was swept away by the time I turned around. The pours were heavy and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate any and all requests. The show stealer of the night, however, was our event coordinator Josh, who not only provided excellent service but closed the night off by joining in on our karaoke and absolutely killing it with a stunning performance of "My Way". the crowd was elated and it is still talked about as the highlight of the evening. I could not recommend the Napoleon House more.

We had rehearsal dinner with a social hour in the Rosa Room and seated dinner in the Pietro Room. Everyone had a great time. There were a total of 66 people at the dinner. It was a festive atmosphere. The food and service was very good.

Working with the team at Napoleon House was an absolute dream! Everyone was so kind, professional, accommodating and they always had a quick answer for our million questions. They made us feel so incredibly special and all of our guests feel in love with the intimate, charming venue and delicious food. I will continue to work with the Napoleon House to celebrate any future special occasions, and would highly recommend the Napoleon House to anyone!

The title says it all, but we’re still getting amazing feedback from our guests almost a month later. I had high expectations based on reviews and knowledge of the restaurant, but every aspect blew me away. Karen and Beth in sales answered every question we had, answered questions we didn’t know to ask, and helped design a menu that literally catered to everyone. The wedding day was flawless, they were flexible, and the front of house service is literally flawless. Big shoutout to Josh and India (I may have her name wrong, definitely the spelling) who are incredibly good at their jobs making sure everything was done perfectly.

Napoleon House is the most perfect setting for a New Orleans rehearsal dinner. Aside from the absolutely delicious food menu, the ambience is something so spectacular and intimate that captures the essence of this magical city more than you could ever imagine. Beth + Karen are running a well oil machine and the wait staff was flawless. I wish we could do it all over again next weekend!

We booked this venue for our wedding from across the country, without ever having even *stepped FOOT* inside the place in person-- because it fit our budget, and we knew we wanted something with this vibe, and in the french quarter. Booking Napoleon House was easily the best decision ever! It was even more beautiful in person, and the space is truly picturesque. The location is absolutely perfect too because those who want the option to keep the party going after the wedding ends, will find that the venue is right in the heart of it all-- and that's another thing my husband and I wanted. The food and drinks were all prepared in-house, (which I found to be easier than venues where you need to search for additional food/beverage vendors separately), and all of it was INSANELY delicious, beyond my wildest dreams-- I am not exaggerating when I say that we received compliments on the food for LITERALLY WEEKS after the wedding was over! And, food was a big deal to us, so we were thrilled. But perhaps most importantly, the people who run this venue: Beth, Karen, and all of the staff at Napoleon House, truly did go far above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect. Every single person was always extremely kind, helpful, patient, and encouraging-- and they make every effort imaginable to make your vision come to life. We felt really supported by them throughout the entire planning process, and that made a huge difference to me. I think any couple probably encounters some stress along the way or some "creative problem-solving", but especially planning our wedding from across the country-- there were occasionally things that my husband and I needed a little extra guidance on, so having a venue with really helpful, kind, patient, and caring staff was of huge importance to us. I would recommend Napoleon House to anyone, for absolutely any event, anytime. The space is beautiful, the location is unbelievable, and the team there is phenomenal.

We had both our ceremony and reception at Napoleon House. Karen and Beth were very helpful with answering questions and navigating Hiccups! Josh was amazing the day of, the whole staff was just to friendly and helpful. All of my wedding guests couldn't say enough things about the food, services and atmosphere that the Napoleon House provided.

Napoleon House was the perfect venue for our wedding. They were responsive, accommodating, professional. The food was amazing and the service was outstanding.

The space was absolutely beautiful. Staff was very accommodating and worked very hard to make my vision come the life. My party captain was very professional and did such an excellent job serving my guests and myself. The food was delicious. I highly recommend utilizing this space for your next event.

I cannot say enough about how amazing both Beth and Karen were throughout the planning process. My husband and I are located in New Jersey, and decided to have a destination wedding in New Orleans! We had both the ceremony and reception at Napoleon House, and the entire day was seamless and beautiful. Our guests absolutely raved about the location, and especially the food! I cannot thank the staff enough for all that they do. Our Caption, Josh, made sure my husband and I were taken care of, and I cannot thank him enough. I highly recommend the Napoleon House, and will be back during our next trip to the Big Easy.

Napoleon House was the perfect venue for our wedding day vision with an amazing staff and team, not to mention the delicious food all the guests will be raving about afterwards. We had an 80 person wedding and the space is extremely intimate, romantic, and perfect for guests to feel connected throughout the entire event. The decor of the Rosa and Pietro room is already so beautiful that all you may need is some flowers to add your personal touches.

Karen and Beth were amazing through our entire process, offering flexibility and most importantly availability to make sure we had the most perfect day. They make the coordination a lot less intimidating especially to brides who are doing the bulk of the planning and they make sure everything is set up to your liking on your big day with zero stress.

The serving staff will make sure your guests are well taken of as well as making sure the married couple gets their private moment to eat after the ceremony. One of the best experiences of your wedding is when you get to eat some great food alone with your spouse for the first time and take in all the hard work before entertaining guests.

I would recommend this venue for anyone who wants a truly historic New Orleans wedding with an elegant but not too stuffy vibe, but has all the romantic touches perfect for your wedding day.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Napoleon House- I had to reschedule my wedding several times due to COVID and the event planning staff was absolutely lovely and more accommodating than I could have hoped for. They truly are wonderful people who want to help you and your event be successful. The ballrooms are stunning, the food was fantastic, the pricing is impressively reasonable and the entire event went off without a hitch. I would whole-heartedly recommend Napoleon House and its staff to all brides!

The team at Napoleon House is the absolute best! The venue itself is beautiful, and the food is delicious. Beth worked with me through multiple changes due to Covid, and she and Karen jumped in to fix the floor plan to make sure my guests would be comfortable. Joshua was such a delight the day of, and he really went out of his way to make it a wonderful evening.

A great location in the French Quarter, New Orleans. We held the rehearsal dinner in the Rosa & Pietro rooms, and we were stunned at how lovely the space was – even better than the on-line pictures. The history and beauty of these rooms is amazing! Perfect for our party.
Beth and Karen were wonderful to work with. They were very easy to contact and answered all of our questions when planning our event from out of town. They offered suggestions, kept us updated on COVID guidelines, worked with us to make sure every detail was what we envisioned, from the dinner and drink choices, down to the last details of the video presentation, and toasts to the happy couple. The evening of the dinner, Joshua and his team of servers were professional, courteous and attentive to all of the guests. The appetizers, dinner, and desserts were delicious!
Our experience at Napoleon House couldn't have been better - we had a wonderful time and the space was absolutely beautiful--we highly recommend this venue.

Karen and Beth were so easy to work with and so accommodating. The food was outstanding and the space was so romantic and perfect.

The Napoleon House is an iconic New Orleans establishment that did not disappoint. It was half a block away from our wedding venue (Court of Two Sisters) in the heart of the French Quarter. Coordinating the event with staff was very easy. The rehearsal dinner was upstairs with the rest of the resturaunt open downstairs. However, it was very private and you could not hear anything from downstairs. The decor was classic French inspired NOLA. The food was great! People raved about the steak option. Service was professional, courteous, and punctual. Prior to booking the Napoleon House, I reached out to at least 5 other vendors in the area and this was the best value for how much we spent. Highly recommend using the Napoleon House for any private event.

I cannot say enough great things about Napoleon House. Getting married in New Orleans was a destination wedding for us and Napoleon House was one of many great decisions we made. Originally selected because of the great value, they exceeded all our expectations and we are extremely happy with everything! They were so helpful, easy to work with - especially being out of state and dealing with ever changing COVID guidelines, and have some of the best customer service. Their entire staff is so friendly and professional, they made our wedding perfect. Located in the French Quarter, the venue is stunning with its décor and balconies, everything you could want when you think New Orleans. And the food was so delicious our guests are still talking about it! We loved having our wedding at Napoleon House and highly recommend to any couple wanting a truly great New Orleans wedding you will never forget!

This venue and the people who ran the event were second to none! Everything from the food, to the ambiance, to the customer service were outstanding! I would highly recommend The Napoleon House to anyone and hope I have a reason to use them again someday for an event.

They are truly amazing and made everything for our wedding perfect! They are very quick to answer emails and questions and made sure the event went on without an issue!

The staff are wonderful to work with and took care of everything on our wedding day. We had no worries and could focus on enjoying our big day!

Karen, Beth and the entire team at Napoleon House were incredible to work with. These are so responsive, approachable, professional and they know what they are doing! They get the job done and do it so well. The team worked beautifully with our wedding planner and with other vendors to coordinate. They were patient and flexible in this process, particularly when our originally scheduled date over Labor Day weekend 2021 was postponed due to Hurricane Ida hitting the week before. During this extremely stressful time, they responded on the go to ensure we could rebook at our earliest convenience. At the event itself, it was more beautiful than I could have imagined- a historic, special New Orleans venue that's charming and classic but also with modern twists. All our guests were raving about how delicious and quality the food was. Can't forget the to-go Pimm's Cups to second-line with! We have zero complaints and highly recommend.
