The venue is unique with endless photo ops throughout the process. The staff was friendly, flexible, and extremely helpful. They provided me with a virtual tour which was helpful in planning my destination elopement. I highly recommend! -

I am SO very late to writing this review, but I wanted to make sure that I do-- because Race + Religious gave us the most beautiful and epic wedding.
My original wedding date was April 2020, and was cancelled a month prior due to the pandemic. Race + Religious worked with us through three more postponement dates (as the pandemic continued on). R+R helped us navigate through all of the date changes with kindness and patience (as we were definitely stressed out basket cases).
When the wedding finally did happen, it ended up being the most beautiful + magical day ever. The staff at R+R were so attentive (in addition to our amazing planner- Kelsey from Mint Julep). The R+R staff work so well/closely with the recommended vendors, everything was so seamless and turned out spectacular.
When I saw how everything turned out day of, I was blown away at how gorgeous our wedding was. Our friends + family still tell us it was the best wedding they ever went to.
I would highly recommend Race + Religious-- you will absolutely not regret it. Thank you R+R for giving us the best wedding ever, we will always be thankful!! -- Tom + Kate -

If you’re looking for something super unique and magical, this is it! It’s definitely an investment but if this is the type of place you’re looking for, it’s totally worth it. Our guests were blown away by the space and the whole day was incredible. There are so many nooks and crannies and guests can explore the whole property which is super fun. Although the drive from the French Quarter to the venue doesn’t consist of the nicest views, once you step into Race & Religious it’s like you’re transported into another world. We wanted to give our guests a full “experience” and we think we succeeded! Mostly due to Race & Religious being amazing but also because New Orleans weddings are something else all on their own. We had the absolute time of our lives! (Photos by photographer Hannah Pickle) -

This venue could not have been more perfect for our October wedding. Our guests loved the quirks, charm, and decor as much as we did when we first booked it and were commenting on how amazing the space was all night (and into the next week). The team at Race made the day of stress-free and easy. If you want something truly special in New Orleans this is your venue! -

Such a pleasant experience with this venue & venue team! Alexa, Grayson, and Reed rocked the customer service side with Reed being an all-star teammate during the event. We literally wanted for nothing! They were on top of it all!
As a wedding planner, I can highly suggest booking this venue. Easy communication and planning + the property itself is so drool worthy it's insane! In 10+ years it is one of the coolest buildings I have ever stepped foot in! Run don't walk to book R+R! -

If you're looking for a unique venue, Race & Religious is your place! Our team works often with the girls over at R+R and we're so thankful for their great communication skills. The venue is breathtaking! -
User1484537 Sent on 12/27/2013Not only was the venue beyond photogenic, it was memorable and enjoyable for our guests. We did a casual buffet style dinner, which encouraged guests to explore the property and I'm so glad we did. Everyone fell in love with the property immediately. So many friend and family are still talking about the decor, architecture and charm of the venue. If you're on the fence: book it NOW before someone else does. Race + Religious is spacious, inspired and absolutely stunning. -

Uniquely New Orleans
Beautiful home in lower garden district of New Orleans. It has multiple rooms for wedding party to get ready. Absolutely beautiful in pictures. Perfect size for weddings of 120 or less. Excellent area for second line to circle the park without buying the street permit. The inside is decorated to perfection. -

Lauren Sent on 04/21/2016Race and Religious is obviously a very magical and beautiful venue. My guests and I had an amazing night, dancing eating and drinking. That being said looking back on the wedding night there are some things about it that rub me the wrong way. Our venue representative on the day of the wedding was not as sweet and helpful as all the other ladies I had met through out the choosing process. I had been told on evert site visit that there is a sound system and it is easy peasy and all you do is plug in your iPhone and you've got an instant DJ. There were no working speakers in the back house or back courtyard the day of my wedding, and our venue reps only response was "oh well the guests last night must have broken it..." Then I come to find that half of my guests missed the cake cutting because the front courtyard speakers could not be heard in the back. Once we got our dance party started the sound system skipped 90% of the songs on our playlist one or two minutes into the song. Later talking to the security guard he told me "at least its working at all, a lot of parties cant even turn it on." In the moment none of this really bothered me because we were having so much fun but now it bums me out a little. -

My fiance and I are a same-sex couple that was very excited for the artsy and unique look that Race and Religion had to offer in our favorite city of New Orleans. To start, we had booked the tour almost two months in advance. Flying from out of state (Philadelphia) we had made sure to confirm and plan ahead for what we felt were our top selections. One day before our departure, the sales rep with R&R tried to cancel our tour. She also failed to mention until after the tour that our wedding date was not even available. to make it worse when we arrived they acted confused and shocked and asked us what type of even we were having even though I was corresponding with them for months. Not to mention that the tour person asked AGAIN"what type of event" confused apparently. Not to mention, that the tour guide only decided to get up to show another couple around but gave us someone who had started that week. The list goes on and on! This venue is also located in an area right past homeless encampments and right along the highway, we could barely hear each other when touring the venue. This place is overpriced, the staff is unprofessional and they seem like they really could use a training course in diversity!
