Banquet Hall Wedding Venues in New Orleans

Look no further than Paradigm Gardens for the unforgettable, joyful, vibrant, delicious and thoughtful wedding or celebration that you've always imagined! We had always admired the space for its lush, colorful, genuine energy, but we had no idea how special and personal the experience would be when we reached out to inquire about having our wedding in the garden. Starting at the beginning, Karen was so available and personable which made it possible for us to talk through our needs and hopes and find a solution that would work for our budget and vison. From that point, we felt extremely supported throughout the year leading up to our wedding with prompt answers whenever we had questions, phone calls to discuss any idea we had to see how we could make it work in the garden, and a menu tasting that was so much fun and SO delicious! One major point to any prospective couple, the food is SPECTACULAR! Made on the outdoor grill and brick oven, the culinary experience is a feast for every sense and seriously something our guests (and we) are still talking about! With rain in the forecast as our wedding approached, Karen and Sarah made sure every detail was thought of to ease our nerves, and we had a perfect rain plan that was stunning and perfect! The Paradigm team thinks of every detail so that you can create the day of your dreams. The garden flowers and foliage were just divine, the layout was thought out perfectly for our group size, the food was prepared and served without us having to think about a thing and we could just soak in our amazing family and friends, and the love and joy around us! The staff were such a delight and so kind and helpful throughout the evening! We had an absolute BLAST and will remember every second of the perfect day to start our next chapter together. Paradigm is the best decision we made aside from marrying each other!

5 stars doesn’t cut it! When I tell you that Rami (event coordinator) goes above and beyond to give you EVERYTHING you want for your wedding, I f$&@ing mean it!!! We wanted to do things a little differently than most traditional Nola weddings and she didn’t even flinch. Just “Of course” responses across the board and she executed everything in a miraculous fashion. Even when we had a couple of vendor issues, she knew what to do, and made sure to protect us and our special day from any stress. We didn’t know about the problems until after our wedding… because she’s THAT GOOD!!! I could rave about Rami’s superheroness all day, but the venue deserves a shout out as well. The food, the ceremony, the music and band setup were phenomenal. The bartenders and wait staff were amazing, and our wedding was nothing short of magical. I honestly wish I could do it all over again, because I wouldn’t change a damn thing. Thank you again Rami! You’re my hero!

We are so delighted that we chose the Civic as our wedding venue. Cali was amazing to work with and very helpful in navigating a date change with us. Cali and her team saw our vision and worked with us and all of our vendors to create our perfect day. Mike, Winter and the rest of the team at the Civic were also phenomenal to work with, and so helpful in making our perfect day come together. I work in production and was able to meet with Mike and his team to explain our creative vision and they truly went above and beyond to make it special for us. This is hands down the best venue in New Orleans to create a unique and special day! 

I want to start by saying how well of a job the staff did! Your organization is impeccable! Our Family and friends had an amazing time! Thank you for making this day as smooth as possible!! We truly enjoyed ourselves! The food was amazing, the drinks were flowing and the venue was absolutely gorgeous!!! My day was perfect because of you!! ❤️ 10/10 recommend.

We got married at the House of Blues on March 25, 2023, and it was nothing short of amazing! We got married in the Voodoo Garden and had our reception in the Parish Room. This place EXCEEDED our expectations! Jeanne and her staff are a god send, absolutely amazing! They were all so helpful and attentive during our wedding day, no detail was missed. Everything from flow of the ceremony and reception, the food, the set up, the design of our spaces, all were top notch. We worked with Jeanne for a year and a half planning the most absolute bad ass wedding, and she was such a pleasure to work with. No request was unmet. She made EVERYTHING happen for us. She definitely went above and beyond for us. They really can turn this venue into the most beautiful and intimate space for a wedding. I HIGHLY recommend this venue and it's staff for a wedding, or any party or gathering. I promise you, they will not disappoint. I wish we could do it all over again!

The Tree of Life was more than we could have hoped for. We added a few decorations but really, none were needed.

The Moore Venue stepped in 3 weeks before our wedding and exceeded all expectations! From the first conversation, Amanda was engaged, she worked with us, and made a crazy COVID19 wedding a true reality. Truly an Angel. Changing our venue so close to the date was nerve wracking to say the least but she put us at ease and handled everything with grace! We had an amazing wedding and one couldn’t even tell everything that went into putting this day together. Our wedding was flawlessly executed and Amanda is a large reason for that being the case. Our guests loved the food, especially the beignets and boudin balls. The Moore Venue is an amazing venue with a wonderful staff who truly will work to create a top notch experience for you.

We had both the reception and ceremony at the NOCCA Institute. The NOCCA Institute was absolutely beautiful and unique on our wedding day. Rachel is a delight to work with- super easy to communicate with and very prompt. We highly recommend the venue for any event!

This intimate venue is an unforgettable place to celebrate any occasion. While you can decorate the venue as you wish, the setting has beautiful ambiance that exudes character without having to decorate. We chose this cool facility to host a college graduation party for approximately 90 guests. The owner, Leesaw, did an amazing job meeting all of our needs. She was very responsive and friendly. I can't imagine a better experience. The booking process was super easy. And, we loved that we were able to bring in our own vendors for everything! As an aside, there’s a great prep kitchen that our caterer loved.

If I could give this venue 10 stars I would. We held my daughter’s reception here and it was absolutely amazing! From meeting with Lane on our first tour of venues to the second we walked out at the end of the reception, everything was fabulous! Lane was very helpful and gave me so much advice and suggestions, and this was before we even decided to book. We toured a few venues, but none compared to what The Jaxson offered. If you’re looking for an all-inclusive venue, this is the one you want! Once we booked, Lane and Anthony were always there to guide me and answer all of my questions and I had lots of them. They had so many suggestions and they were spot on!! My guests have all raved about the food, the venue, the staff, the drinks and the execution of the entire event! The attention to detail that they put into the display of the food was incredible! I think guests thought we paid a florist to decorate all of the food stations, but that was included in the price. The view of the river is stunning! We were also allowed to take pre ceremony photos outside of The Jaxson and I’m sure that was an inconvenience for them, but they never said a word! This place is everything and more, if you’re considering it for a reception or event! If I had to say 1 small negative thing, it would be the personal attendant for the bride and groom and their families, but I honestly think she had a hard time finding us or getting to us. Keeping up with 7 people, who never stopped moving, is no easy task! But it was easy getting a drink at the numerous bars when needed. She was always offering us something to eat though, but when you’re having so much fun, sometimes you forget to eat! My advice to anyone who books The Jaxson, eat at the reception, because the food is some of the best you’ll ever have. We did get some leftovers and they were just as good the next day! Thanks again to Lane, Anthony, Terry and your entire staff for helping me give them the wedding of their dreams! If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change anything!! Run, don’t walk to book The Jaxson for your NOLA wedding! Much love from the mother of the bride, aka Momzilla
