Capulet

team ensured our vision came to life, helping curate a menu that met our meet our goals, as well as generously curating craft cocktails just for us! My husband and I had the wedding day of our dreams, and a wonderful planning experience end to end. We would highly recommend booking your venue with Capulet.

the space amazing, but the staff are fantastic. Chef Matt's food was the talk of the party, the service was professional, and the lead up to the wedding itself was so easy. They are very communicative, flexible, and overall just an exceptionally well run operation.

ing was beautiful. Steve & his staff were so great to work with, from start to finish — always responsive, friendly, professional, and accommodating. They made sure that everything we asked for was executed flawlessly. Most of what made our experience so great was the attention to detail, the simple gestures— for example, our his & her signature drinks being handed to us as soon as we entered the venue after the second line. During planning, I asked Steve if it was possible to do an espresso martini tower & he made it happen for us. We had a cigar bar set up, so the rooftop was a nice touch (especially for guests who wanted a quieter vibe). We’re forever grateful to Capulet for making our day so special.

the venue is such a vibe. The rooftop is gorgeous and the ground floor is so cute and cozy. (Especially if you have a smaller/medium sized party - we had 50 people) you can totally dress up the venue as you like, but if decor budget is something you want to save on the venue has PLENTY of charm and doesn't need much at all. The food and drinks at Capulet are incredible too! We hade the option to choose between their inhouse catering and working with a pre approved vendor and we chose to go with their in house team who let us design our own menu (yes, from scratch, whatever we wanted) and the quality was amazing! Our menu was boudin egg rolls, sesame chicken bites, and crab beignets for apps with Flank steak and chimichurri, crawfish etouffee, mac and cheese, and crispy chili Brussel sprouts for dinner and let me tell you; everyone raved about the food! A niche thing, that was really important to us, was Capulet was an incredibly inclusive environment. We had a very diverse group of people at our wedding, many of whom had never been to Louisiana and they made everyone feel at home, their staff is also diverse and we felt truly like we were being cared for by a tight nit community welcoming us to their space. I think it's easy to fall in love with what a venue has to offer, but the thing that sold us about Capulet was Steve and the staff. Steve is so attentive to you in the entire process, he responds to emails/texts/calls in what felt like 2-3 hour turn arounds, he worked with us on every detail and made sure to get us everything we needed to feel comfortable signing and we thought once we signed maybe we wouldn't hear from him again but he checked in on us, called us the day of our wedding tasting even though he wasn't managing it, and generally was invested in us as people and a couple not just as clients checking a box. We can not recommend working with Steve and the Capulet team enough! Oh and one other thing, I know all venues have lists of recommended vendors, but Capulet's list is top tier. We got 2 of our vendors from their list who were the absolute best, made our day so special and we wouldn't have found them without Capulet so hats off to them for supporting other vendors who have the same values and level of expertise as they do!

h the Brussel sprouts! We originally planned to have the ceremony on the rooftop deck but had to move indoors due to weather. It ended up being so gorgeous, better than expected and the whole room was flipped in less than 15 minutes for the reception. We also loved our signature drinks. Everyone at Capulet was very professional and accommodating all along the way. Thank you to the whole team for making our special day run smoothly!

ut everything was handled and the day of could not have been better. They work with reputable vendors and are professional. Additionally, the food was impeccable and so was the bar service.

like a dinner + wine tasting for our parents), and were a joy to work with. I particularly appreciated how they have beautiful indoor and outdoor options (important in New Orleans weather!) that require minimal decoration to look great. Also, since they're a restaurant during the week, the food is excellent and reasonably priced. Easy five stars!

l and our guests loved it.

plan come to life and even though we had rain and had to move the ceremony inside, it was so so so beautiful. It was affordable compared to other venues and the option to do bar and food in house made it even more convenient. Absolutely recommend the team at Capulet!

day could not have been more perfect. Steve and Stefanie were incredibly helpful and Chef Matt helped us create a custom menu & food was UNREAL!!!! Our guests had such an amazing time!!!

d the pricing is very reasonable. Highly recommend!

own away when we got to see it in person. The space is amazing, the food is spectacular, and the whole team was phenomenal. Everyone on the staff from the chef to bartenders to Steve the owner made the day seamless and enjoyable. Still dreaming about the delicious passed appetizers, barbecue brisket, and signature cocktails they made for us. Wish we could go back to that day!

throughout the entire wedding planning process. They had no problem accommodating our special requests, and made many helpful suggestions about how to best utilize the space. Their kitchen put together a fantastic menu for our guests spanning local New Orleans cuisine as well as some Nigerian dishes, which were all delicious. We have nothing but good things to say about our experience at Capulet.

her with a staff that's on top of everything. Honestly one of the best experiences we had with any of our venues in New Orleans.

which is what we wanted, but nothing really seemed to speak to us. The moment we walked into Capulet, we knew. And we are so thrilled that we made the decision to hold our event there. In the 8 months leading up to and including our wedding, Steve Nutting and his team were nothing short of amazing. The venue itself is visually striking, but Steve's telling of the history of the building and its standing amongst the Bywater community really touched us in a way that made the resilience of the building and the surrounding community something we very closely related to. Stefanie, Capulet's event coordinator, is absolutely stellar and super-responsive, and although Chef Pony Schwartz stepped in mid-way through the planning phase, her creativity in crafting a super unique menu with us was probably the most fun of it all. The organization, execution and overall delivery of our wedding day was nothing short of magical, and we have Steve, Stefanie, Pony and the rest of the Capulet crew to thank for hosting what was not only one of the most important days of our new life together, but words cannot express the gratitude and appreciation we have for their patience and graciousness with us every step of the way. Last of all, the pricing structure can't be beat and was worth every penny. Seriously, do yourself a favor and check out Capulet and get to know Steve and his wonderful staff there. It's an absolute gem, in a low-traffic area and a gorgeous part of what can be considered true New Orleans. We consider them part of the family now, and look forward to seeing them again the next time we pay NOLA a visit in our travels!

e entire planning period! Although our wedding day was rainy, the plan B of getting married inside the venue was even more gorgeous than I could of imagined! Our guests have complemented our wedding so much and have stated it was the best venue they have ever been to! I AGREE! Chef Pony helped us create an amazing menu!! Our guests also loved the food :) I could not recommend the Capulet more. A New Orleans gem!

perience and that of our guests. Our guests could not stop talking about the food, even weeks/months afterwards. Truly, could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding night!

with us on the unique and quirky elements we wanted to make the wedding feel like us and overall just good, kind people. Additionally, the space is spectacular -- our guests all commented on how beautiful it was and everyone even liked the rooftop for the ceremony despite the heat. I couldn't imagine a better experience for a wedding -- highly, highly recommend.

put in as well as the whole staff was incredible and made our day even more special. The venue is gorgeous and we couldn’t have been happier. This is the perfect spot for your wedding/reception. Steve and Stefanie were on top of everything and made sure that our guests and my wife and I had the best experience!! Thank you Capulet!!

ely stress-free. Pony is a phenomenal chef and did an AMAZING job with our unique food requests, we got so many compliments on the food. Venue has a great vibe and guests loved the feel, no complaints at all. Highly highly recommend, they are absolute professionals and truly the best!

et spacious setting that made our ceremony truly beautiful. The reception area was perfect, too, offering plenty of room to dance and still have space to relax away from the dance floor and DJ. The staff was absolutely incredible—so kind and attentive. They went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly, and their hospitality really made a difference. Plus, they served delicious drinks that our guests couldn't stop raving about. And let's not forget the food—it was outstanding! They did an amazing job blending our love for Creole and Central American cuisines, creating a menu that was both unique and incredibly tasty. Overall, this venue exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized wedding experience!

of. We got so many compliments from our friends and family about the venue, the food, the general flow of the building and how it encompassed our event. The open floor plan made the whole event feels so inclusive and the reception area is a wonderful blank slate for any decor. The rooftop made for such a sweet ceremony and we loved how the nearby church bells would ring. The second line was fantastic, passing Dr. Bob's art studio and B. Mike's gorgeous murals. I highly recommend working with Capulet to make your Nola wedding feel authentic and unique!

’t work for you I suggest you take your money elsewhere” when we would ask basic questions about the layout of space and ceremony process and scheduling the rehearsal. Stefanie was the event coordinator but he would just take over for her and she wouldn’t give much information to us unless she asked him first. He wouldn’t allow her to do her job. I would’ve taken my money elsewhere if I hadn’t already paid thousands in deposits. He would say this 4-5 months before our wedding date when we were obviously locked in. Our wedding day was met with rain so three days prior to the event I offered to rent a tent to be installed on the roof due to the fact that Steve did not really offer and suitable ceremony alternatives to host 200 guests. The company I rented the tent from quoted 1800, and due to Steve’s regulations, the price went up to 2800 for additional items for the tent. When the wedding day came he pulled the plug on a rooftop ceremony instead of waiting for the rain to pass and the rain did stop before the ceremony even started, making me waste $3000 on the tent and chairs I rented. If he would have waited 15 minutes, it would’ve been absolutely clear. My vendors were forced to break everything down and bring it to the main room with a 30 minute notice. He did not offer any solutions like extending time or flipping the room and my guests had to stand. The inability to communicate or bend to help his clients in the event that is out of our control was devastating. Also he was extremely rude to my wedding planner when she tried to come up with an alternative plans and my vendors told me he was extremely difficult to work with. He will nickel and dime you for everything for absolutely no reason. I will say the staff was great and helpful and sweet to my guests. The reception was fun and beautiful but Steve will make the process extremely painful and difficult. I understand that no one can control the weather but in our efforts to fix it, he allowed me to spend the money only to waste it and offered no solutions or financial break (when we already paid him $25000+). Also please note that he only allows the vendors about 2.5 hours to set up the venue. I believe this is due in part that he allows other brides to come in to rehearse before their wedding. Which is fine, however during our rehearsal he all but kicked us out the door when we hit the 1 hour mark and was extremely rude to my wedding planner who was doing her best. Besides him, the space is beautiful and the drinks were great but I give all the credit to my vendors for making the day special. I was a panicked mess the week before my wedding because of his rigidity and cried before I walked up the isle due to him.

e. My guests had an amazing time and could not stop commenting on how good the food was! The space itself is beautiful on its own. Of course I added my own wedding decor but did not need much. THANK YOU Capulet for making my day so special <3

a bullet point thinker, so I'm also going to review that way. COMMUNICATION: Capulet staff were quick to respond, clear in their communication, always amiably willing to answer my questions, and just all around nice folks. PACKAGE DEAL: Capulet has a great benefit of offering venue space (both indoor and outdoor), a great deal of furniture, catering, and even DJ services all in house. Honestly, we COULD have done the whole evening without renting a thing, but we chose to embellish a bit. VIBES: This venue is certainly a vibe, and one that we found to be quite charming. The industrial warehouse look of the Bywater paired with the vintage furniture and potted plants was rockin'. We loved it. LOCATION: Similar to above, the location for this venue is just downright cool. Conveniently located to lots of local hotspots and super walkable, but also adjacent to lots of street parking. CRISIS MANAGEMENT: When we found out the day before our event that the parking lot we had been planning for for over a year was no longer an option, Capulet handled the situation with excellent crisis remediation skills. They clearly communicated the issue and came to the table with potential backup solutions. CONTACTS: The folks at Capulet know a lot of other folks in the business. This may seem like a strange pro, but we found it to be a HUGE benefit that everybody (Capulet staff and outside vendors) already knew each other and how to work together. Could not recommend them enough. Can't wait to go back for a more chill evening in the future.

best pre-wedding experiences was tasting the amazing food options from Chef Jack. He took the time getting to know what we liked most and how to best accommodate our guests. Another highlight was getting to taste each wine that was available for the event. We highly recommend Capulet for any event due to their welcoming, inclusive environment.
