“The Beauty of Louisiana Weddings”   

“The starting point for any wedding is a fabulous venue.  For planners seeking the cosmopolitan society of historic New Orleans, the Magnolia Mansion is an ideal choice.  Built in 1858 in the Garden District, the home’s raised Greek revival architecture features a remarkable wrap-around veranda and eleven Corinthian columns.   The property is versatile enough to accommodate any size wedding, from a private ceremony for just the bride and groom to festivities for 500 guests.  

The mansion offers two courtyards, one very large and one smaller, filled with beautiful scented gardens.

The historic home is also a romantic, adult’s only Bed and Breakfast with nine uniquely-themed rooms, each with a private bath.  With its proximity to the St. Charles, streetcar, antique shops on Magazine St., and major tourist attractions, out of town guests will be especially impressed. Magnolia Mansion’s wedding coordinator is available to arrange the catering, flowers, music, and everything else needed to stage a successful day. “

Magnolia Mansion

You are getting married to the love of your life and you want this joyous occasion to be just as you’ve always imagined.

Whatever you desire, a traditional southern wedding or a unique theme wedding, your wish is our command. Magnolia Mansion is the perfect wedding and reception location.

From the moment you enter the grand hall and are greeted by larger than life statues of Aphrodite and Eros, the Greek deities of love, you’ll realize that fantasies can come true.

The Greek Revival Mansion boasts eleven massive Corinthian columns supporting an enormous verandah, making Magnolia Mansion one of the most photographed architectural treasures in New Orleans. Massive live oaks frame the mansion and its beautifully landscaped and immense courtyard.

Whether your wedding party is intimate or large, our courtyard makes a memorable and romantic setting.
For wedding parties of 40 people or less, or perhaps an elopement, the mansion’s grand hallway makes a dramatic entrance for every bride. Our red hallway symbolizes love and passion and is especially perfect for a Valentine’s Day or Christmas wedding.

For receptions of up to 350, the mansion and veranda provide the perfect ambiance for celebrating.
A complimentary honeymoon suite is provided the night of the wedding and/or reception in the mansion or courtyard.

Magnolia Mansion can also provide accommodations of up to eight additional rooms for your friends and family and set a new standard of opulence for romantic guest houses in New Orleans.

Wedding and rehearsal dinners can be tailored to your specifications and catered in our beautiful dining room.
Why not let Magnolia Mansion’s on site wedding coordinator take care of all of your wedding and reception needs.

Considered the “Gateway to the Garden District”, Magnolia Mansion is located one block from the St. Charles Avenue streetcar and within minutes of the French Quarter and Convention Center.

After all of the planning, anticipation and festivities, all that are left are the memories. This magical moment in time will be relived and celebrated every year for the rest of your lives.

Experience the Grandeur of Old New Orleans’ at Magnolia Mansion.
