Was lucky enough to come to a wedding here earlier in December. Apparently the place was originally…read morea federal bank/safe that's been turned into an event venue. We adored it for its architectural detail, the fabulous dance floor, the great set up and the super sweet staff. They even have an attended elevator! It's a little bit hidden but the perfect distance from the Church of the Immaculate Conception for a Second Line band. We marched on over with kerchiefs waving and the band playing. They have a little salon downstairs for the wedding party to relax in until it's time for them to enter the reception and then once the event was in full swing, they used it for gifts and general detritus. A great venue for a relatively small wedding... if you can get a hold of them :)

The right time of year definitely made a difference! Afterwards the indoor part was amazing. So much space and the vibe is just fun. I didn't get to try any of the food but everything looked great. If you aren't feeling like having a wedding in a typical event venue palace hall indoors only, this is definitely worth a visit for something different and classy.

The ceremony was outside,…read moreunderneath some oak trees (very Savannah-esque actually) and then the reception was inside, which was also very beautiful. The food was good as well (I chose the chicken dish) and the service was also very efficient. My only mini complaint is that to get to the venue, you have to walk a bit ... Normally not an issue, but with the majority of us wearing heels or at least wedges, my feet are complaining a bit today. Otherwise, I'd love to get married here myself some day (if I lived in the South!) and I highly recommend it.

Absolutely the best place I've stayed in New Orleans and I go there a lot!…read more Few things I loved.. Wood floors, antiques, large room, comfy bed. Front and back porches to chill on as well as several garden/outdoor seating areas. They provide lotion in your room and more in the bathroom. Also a jar of Cotton balls and Qtips. The breakfast everyday was amazing. Staff, super nice. And tea! Great assortment of teabags. And they have signs everywhere "Quite between 9pm-9am" which I love because i like to sleep. It's walking distance to several great establishments like Mandina's restaurant and Finn McCools bar. I don't think you could find a better location. I stayed for five days and will stay there again. Highly, highly recommend.

What a gem! Don't hesitate this is the place! Book it now! We were thrilled we found it!…read more Owner Monica and Innkeeper Julia and staff go above and beyond to make your stay here an experience worth talking about. We came for a special birthday weekend and we're so impressed. The amazing food each morning was outstanding enough, but they made a point to surprise me with a lovely champagne toast (complete with glitter) and hummingbird coffee cake topped with a candle! Every morning was another fun surprise as several guests were celebrating. The food was delicious and what a special way to dine with fellow travelers and make new friends in their historic dining room. The outdoor gardens are beautiful and inspiring and we loved exploring them, and enjoying the landscape. It was too hot to enjoy the on site hot tub but it was a nice amenity to have. Only things were the lack of AC in our garden level room made it tough even with fans. And the bed was so tall this super short gal had a hard time and could have used one of those nice wooden stools bedside. Minor - this place was seriously AMAZING and if we ever go back it's exactly where we'd stay! Julia even came out to the trolley stop one day just to give us an umbrella because she was worried about us in the sun. That's the level of care and personal attention they give. Thank you, thank you for the memories and this special place! There is a special feeling of joy and hospitality you've created here. I feel blessed to have crossed the path of the staff of Canal Street Inn and will carry you and the experience with me. May we all aspire to be as lovely as this corner of the world.

Rented the Carriage House for a Rehearsal Dinner in Oct 2022. Mosquitoes were so bad everyone left…read morebefore they could even eat. Mosquitoes were like flies on the food. The manager, Shelby, ensured us they would spay before event - doubt it happened. Carriage House had no insect repellent or traps at all. For the money we paid you would expect propane mosquito traps or citronella candle. Stella was horrible and ruined the rehearsal dinner. Caterer was exceptional and worked to make the dinner a success. Wedding party staying in the main house allowed everyone to move from the Carriage House to the Main House so people could eat. Caterer moved everything to the main house. With better management of facilities it could be a great venue. The commode in the restroom between the Carriage House and Mr. Chalin's Cook House summed up the experience, the commode was covered with black mole and was disgusting.

Stella Plantation was a venue that my future wife and I were considering for our wedding…read more Unfortunately, due to some changes in family circumstances, a big chunk of our family expected financial contribution was abruptly out of the game and thus we could not afford this beautiful venue. Krystle, their events coordinator, is quite simply awesome. Throughout the whole process she was prompt and courteous, fielding our tons of questions like a pro. It is also worth it to note that this venue is welcoming towards gay couples such as my wife and I. They didn't even bat an eye, which gives them a whole star in my book. Besides the staff, the grounds are gorgeous. Picturesque oak trees forming a grand alley, newly refurbished buildings for you and your wedding parties to get ready, and a gigantic tent with fully removable walls for your reception complete with heat/AC and luxury bathrooms. Best of all, there is only one event a day at Stella, so you really have the run of the place. Compared to other plantation venues, their prices were reasonable, as well. If you have the budget, I highly recommend them!

Attended an event here recently. I hadn't heard of the venue before but the pictures looked great…read moreso it made me more excited for the event. There is a parking lot right near so you don't have to walk far. It's connected to a restaurant/bar but completely separate. We had access to the main areas and the outside view and everything was beautifully decorated and the place was clean. It was pretty roomy for the size party there (about 150ish). Food was pretty good that was served by the venue. Especially those beignets. Yum. The views outside with the sunset was perfect as well. You also won't get a weak drink from the bartenders here. Would love to attend another event here.

From how beautiful it was, to the uniqueness, to the location, to the service, everything was amazing. The Chicory is in the middle of New Orleans, and you can't beat that energy and level of fun. It's a historic building with a lot to do in the area, and plenty of hotel options nearby if you're coming from out of town. When we got into the venue, I was immediately blown away by the beautiful exposed brick and the overall look of everything. It was also a nice change from the typical hotel ballroom. The staff were so nice and so attentive! We had two bridal attendants with us the whole time. They were so friendly and helpful, and you can tell they really love their job. They went over the top to make sure the bride had everything she needed and didn't have to worry about a thing-down to checking her water bottle constantly to make sure she always had fresh water. During the reception, we left for a few minutes to take pictures on the rooftop at sunset, which turned out beautiful. Overall, the Chicory was a beautiful experience and the perfect spot for one my best friend's big day. Thank you for everything!

Sully Mansion exceeded all of my expectations when planning my daughter's recent baby shower. I…read moresubmitted the online Inquiry Form and, in a matter of a few hours, I had a response from Andrea Muschenborn Charlaix, Sully Mansion's lovely owner. Andrea was a dream to work with...had answers to all of my questions, suggestions when I needed them, and a calm and efficient demeanor that enabled me to have all of the planning complete (with a contract in hand) by the next day; this was important as I was planning the shower only four weeks in advance. I literally booked this amazing place without ever seeing it in person. I was not disappointed as this is the most beautiful property! The 1890 Garden District mansion itself is stunning, on a corner and surrounded by a wrought iron fence. The huge porch and courtyard area are so welcoming but they don't compare to the beauty inside the mansion. The decor is stunning, with so many period details...stained glass windows, transoms, massive doors with intricate hardware that are like little works of art. Every room is a feast for the eyes, with beautiful upholstery and draperies, chandeliers and cozy seating areas. The massive carved staircase in the foyer is an ideal location for photo opportunities. Our luncheon was served buffet-style and it was exquisite and abundant, both in presentation and taste; guests raved about the food and beverages! We had women and men in attendance and there was something for everyone. We elected to bring in the desserts as the mother-to-be had some specific requests; Andrea made sure we had a beautiful table for them and her staff took care of cutting and serving the cake. In addition, a lovely table was prepared in the living room for gifts. Sully Mansion's staff are the loveliest women you could hope to meet. We never had to ask for anything; the food was constantly replenished and drinks served with a smile. I never saw a discarded dish or glass on a table, they magically cleaned up after us all day without being seen. I was sad to see the party end as it was just so perfect in every way. I don't know enough adjectives to adequately describe Sully Mansion, or the women who give it life, but I cannot imagine a better venue for a celebration...shower, wedding, birthday party, etc. Do not hesitate to plan an event at this stunning property!​ **-We did not need any of the accommodations at the mansion but we were able to see some and they are fabulous, with updated bathrooms and air conditioning and gigantic beds. We will be staying here the next time!

If you don't mind a little music, FRIENDLY service from EVERY single staff associate, convenient bar on the first floor, and a good vibe overall then this is your place to explore during your next NOLA adventure.
