All I can say is PHENOMENAL! Everything I had planned through the venue was exactly how I imagined. They were so flexible, even down to the last minute with budget changes. Amazing...
, amazing people, food, and the linens were gorgeous. I liked the bamboo disposable plates and utensils way more than I thought I would. My husband, who is notoriously picky with food, adored everything. The chef took our notes from the tasting to create a beautiful spread. I can’t thank you guys enough for saving my bustle, my private dinner, and our second look changing area! I truly just can’t say thank you enough!
Il Mercato was absolutely stunning and the perfect backdrop for our wedding. The venue speaks for itself—beautiful, elegant, and unforgettable. The entire team was organized, profe...
ssional, and made everything run smoothly from start to finish. Our setup was flawless, the service was excellent, and the whole day felt effortless thanks to their coordination.
We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful or well-run venue. Highly recommend!
We could not possibly have been happier in choosing II Mercato for our wedding. Working with Hailey, Melanie, and the rest of their team was a breeze, as they were extremely accomm...
odating in the run up to our day. The catering was outstanding (especially the passed appetizer options) and the entire crew there was so dedicated to making it as easy and efficient a process as possible -- both during our wedding and in preparation. They created a beautiful space and a wonderful experience for us and our guests, and we'd recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding (or other event) venue in New Orleans.

Our son and his new bribe got married here in March 2025! It was the most amazing night. The venue was stunning, the service was 5 star and the food was delicious! We could not...
have had a better experience!!!
I have loved this venue from the second I saw it so when it was time for our celebration we knew this was the place we had to have it! I have never written a bad review in my life ...
but I think other people need to know about our experience, and once I started sharing some of what we went through we found out our experience was actually not uncommon at all for this venue. We signed our contract and everything seemed great, until it wasn’t. All the sudden there were all these add ons which had never been mentioned like the strung lights. $1200 extra for the lights (that I have NEVER seen taken down and we pass the venue multiple times a week) because someone had to “put them up”. We signed a contract for 4 hours, and then less than a month before the wedding we were told we added an hour and it was going to cost us THOUSANDS more, even though our contract signed months and months earlier said the original 4 hour time. The contract and additions were so bad, a friend of mine took it to her graduate law students and they were in disbelief, urging us to take action. Who wants to do that when you're trying to plan your dream day? We had no contact with anyone from the venue for almost 2 months. My vendors were asking questions we had no answers to. I am very busy and don’t expect answers immediately but weeks and weeks without any communication is not ok. Even just a quick hey we saw your email we will get back to you later in the week will do, but we got nothing at all. When we brought this up they were combative and made excuses but we have the emails to show the total lack in communication. We were so frustrated and felt we were getting nowhere with many questions going unanswered. Il Mercato ended up telling me, “If you're not happy we can cancel it for you”. A MONTH BEFORE THE WEDDING, IN WRITING!! I was in tears. They knew we had people coming from around the country and even several other countries. That was not possible, and instead of talking with us and trying to problem solve (an issue they overlooked!), they were extremely combative. I called and called trying to get a manager or see if I could work with someone else because it had become so negative and tense. After weeks of multiple calls finally the catering manager apologized, took over, removed the girl we were working with and tried to get us back on track. It was so bad that we hadn’t even seen the catering menu at all and we were less than a month out. We had no idea there were so many food options! Once a different team took over things were better, they were much more communicative and helpful but at that point it was almost too little too late. The day of team was so kind and helpful but definitely didn’t have all the details and information about our day, probably because they were thrown in at the last minute. There were definitely issues that aren’t a huge deal but when you're paying that much money you expect the best. One of the main reasons I chose this venue is because they do this all the time, and I thought they’d be on top of it all and I could just enjoy the day. Small things happened like there were 2 random tables without tablecloths just sitting in the courtyard the entire party, nothing on them just sitting there, definitely not part of the layout and everyone was unsure of why they were there. And at 6:40 when my friend tried to get me a drink the bartender told her no, when she said it was for the bride he said “I don’t care who it was for I was told not to serve”, even though our party was fully paid for and started at 6:30. My friend literally had to walk to the bar across the street to get me a drink! The hors d’oeuvres were supposed to be served from 6:30-7:00 but no food was out at cocktail hour and people were starving. My mom asked and they told her that this was what I had wanted, which was certainly not the truth. Of course we wanted hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour! It was lots of little (and BIG things) that I feel like other brides need to be aware of. Overall our wedding was beautiful and everything I wanted it to be. My other vendors were amazing and took my vision and ran with it, but I can confidently say I would not recommend this venue to anyone. The headaches just were not worth it and I don’t want anyone to have to go through what we did. We felt overlooked and not a priority at all which is not how any bride should ever feel. I have honestly never had such a negative experience with a company, and as business owners my husband and I cannot imagine treating clients this poorly.

Lovely place to get married. Their catering and bar staff is top notch and their food is absolutely without competition. My only complaint is that it seems that a venue with this a...
mount of info could make a process to give it to you, instead it felt like it was fed to me at a slow trickle when asked and often at the last minute. The total amount for catering came up many thousands more than they told me to anticipate, and included line items for many things they specifically said were "included," like chairs, linens and dishes. Although it was well worth it, I found myself confused and even sometimes feeling mislead, and from a venue of this caliber I don't find that acceptable. As it is so gorgeous and wonderful I would STILL recommend this venue, but ONLY if you insist on completing a proposal in advance of submitting a deposit, an option I was not given.

before we finally got to have our wedding and every staff member was awesome to work with. Melanie and Shannon (whom I worked with for my wedding that actually happened) were so helpful throughout the planning process. I had picked a lot of my menu based off of their instagram and everything is just a beautiful and even more delicious than the pictures! My guests raved about the food! I could not be happier with Joel Catering at my wedding!

ng with our many requests and changes for dietary restrictions and the menu. The space is so, so gorgeous, and the staff did an incredible job of bringing our vision to life. All our guests could not stop raving about how amazing the food was -- many times we heard it was the most perfectly done filet mignon they'd ever had, and that the apps and beignets were delicious. Thank you to the iM team!! x
OUTSTANDING! Planning a wedding reception during COVID is hard work, but Melanie and staff at Il Mercato assisted in making every aspect seamless. Not only is the venue spectacu...
lar and interesting, but Joels catering is superb. During our private tasting for our selections for the reception, our group was blown away with considered choices. When asked if we could be assured that what we dined on privately would be the same for our guests, we were assured it would be highest quality. Joels did not disappoint. Our guests are still sending accolades on the best food ever had at a wedding reception. Of course, your vision and expectations with additional vendors might be required, but the staff at Il Mercato works to make certain that vision is obtained. We had nothing but the best experience and will definitely recommend this venue to anyone.

ect. The team was super professional and guests are still raving about the food. We did all passed hors d'hoeuvres and small plates. They used the commercial kitchen at our venue and everything came out fresh and hot and delicious. Highly recommend Joel for any of your catering needs.
I don't know where to begin with my absolutely FANTASTIC experience working with Joel Catering. Trying to plan a wedding during COVID, our coordinator Katie was the best! Not only ...
did she work with me throughout the planning process to fine-tune the menu, coordinate a tasting during a pandemic, and constantly change the guest count, but on the day of our food was INCREDIBLE. It's almost a month later and we still have people commenting on how good the food was and how they wish they had some duck gumbo right now. Can't recommend Joel Catering enough, if you want a truly special and memorable evening this team is for you!
Over the past few years, I've had numerous people reach out to ask for my review on Il Mercato. Unfortunately, instead of celebrating my wedding venue for its evident charm and ele...
gance - I have to say the words that all young women hate to admit.....' I should have listened to my mother'. My husband and I just celebrated three years of marriage in September, and I can assure you no amount of time could make me forget the horrific planning process we endured with the Il Mercato team. Ladies, it may look beautiful on the outside but trust me on this, before the ink has even dried on your contracts, you will be second-guessing your choice. While touring this expansive space, my first impression was that it would be perfect for what I had envisioned; however, the moment any wedding coordination needed to take place, we received pushback, delays, and terrible customer service. What you can expect ad nauseam is an immediate 'no' response to practically any request and to have the majority of your vendors complain about the absurd rules, regulations, and favoritism that goes on behind the scenes. To clear up any confusion, Il Mercato, you are a part of the New Orleans wedding industry. So for the sake of everyone that comes into contact with your team – let's start acting like it, shall we?
Annie, say it with me; the customer is always right. Repeat until you've memorized.
I got married at Il mercato on Valentine's Day 2020. The venue is beautiful; however, it was not worth the terrible service and communication we endured throughout the wedding plan...
ning process. I was initially intrigued by the fine cuisine Joel Catering offered. This was one of the most important aspects of my wedding, as my now husband and I are very tough critics when it comes to gastronomy. Joel Catering is wonderful, but this same service is not translated to the actual venue. Joel Catering offers their services at a plethora of locations throughout the New Orleans area, and I strongly recommend you explore these other options. My family and I attended a tasting September 2019 and Annie “finally found us” 2 hours into the event with a glass of wine in her hand to discuss wedding details. This is definitely not the element of professionalism I expect from any business, especially one where you are spending a small fortune. Additionally, you MUST (not contractually required, but strongly recommended) hire a wedding planning service because without this, you will NOT receive a response to phone calls or emails. If the element of surprise is important to you as a bride, this is not the venue for you. Guests may arrive 30 minutes before the ceremony and the bride may arrive only 30 minutes (~1hr before the ceremony) before the guests. This left very little time for pictures at the venue prior to the ceremony and most of my guests were able to see me before I walked down the aisle. We were fortunate to have a wonderful wedding planning team and photographer that eased my frustrations, but all of these displeasures (plus more) provided unanticipated and challenging obstacles for the one of the most special and important days of my life. In hindsight, I definitely would have traded a little bit of charm and ambiance for better customer service.
Il Mercato was an absolutely dream. It's a little oasis tucked away among the bustle of Magazine St., and it was the perfect combination and exactly what my husband and I were look...
ing for for our February 9, 2020 wedding.
We were concerned because we, admittedly, had a smaller budget. But Il Mercato worked with us to tailor everything to our needs and budget and helped keep us on track. Katie and Hayley were incredibly accommodating and helpful and answered all of our questions thoroughly. For a venue that does a high volume of weddings, and a lot of them pricey, it meant a lot to have that level of service and care.
Let's also mention the food, OH THE FOOD. People can not stop raving about how delicious the food was. The shrimp and grits were a teeny on the salty side but the flavor was so amazing it was more than okay. The wait staff was hyper-attentive and I had a glass of alcohol in my hand the whole night.
Would definitely recommend Il Mercato, they helped me realize the wedding of my dreams.
il Mercato is a beautiful venue and a wonderful event space. We planned our daughter's wedding from afar and chose this space for her destination wedding. New Orleans has somethi...
ng for everyone and provides a great backdrop for entertainment for all pre and post wedding festivities.
The venue is quite beautiful and has a great deal of Spanish rustic charm. From the stucco fireplace as the focal point of the court yard to the dark wooden beams adorning the high ceilings of the main hall, this places oozes with plenty of charm.
The food and beverage service were both amazing. Joel, il Mercado's caterer, provides a fine spread with some of the most delicious wedding food we've ever eaten. All wait staff on the wedding day were accommodating and efficiently helpful.
It was perhaps one of the most perfect days and certainly one of the nicest weddings we've ever attended, much less paid for. So why three stars? I've gone back and forth on this rating because the food was wonderful and the wedding was beautiful. But we are out of towners and relied heavily on the information and communication from il Mercado folks to make this event a success. To that end, we found il Mercado to be slow in communication and at times, less than accommodating to our needs. We wrote a big check to make this wedding happen and felt that the contact people for the venue should have been more communicative and helpful with some of our needs.
Here are a few things to consider when choosing il Mercado:
1. The bridal party is not allowed to arrive at the venue more than 30 minutes prior to the ceremony. This means that the bridal party could not get dressed or ready on site. For this, we had to book a place nearby for hair and make up. An added expense to an already hefty price tag.
2. Outdoor lighting is not included and neither is a tent in the event of inclement weather. A venue offering both an indoor/outdoor space should really have such things on sight and available.
3. Communication is key and this was perhaps the greatest source of frustration. Response to e-mails was slow and in some cases, not at all. Being from out of town, there were some things we didn't know and therefore, questions would pop up. Timely responses were hit and miss.
4. All vendors used during the event must be licensed and insured. This is reasonable however, since we were doing some things ourselves, like flowers, we were not informed until the weekend before the wedding that certain decorations could not be used unless we hired a licensed/insured person to install them. We opted to forego the decorations that required a licensed/insured installer but on the day of the event, we were informed of further restrictions that we were not aware of until the last minute. Although we understand the policy, the communication of it was ill timed at best and added to the stress of an already hectic day.
In conclusion, the key to a successful wedding at il Mercado is having a good wedding planner, which we had in spades. It was the planner that made it happen, much more so than the il Mercado business personnel themselves.

es. the vibe is very modern new orleans with updated antique architecture.
even though we were planning our wedding from california, the process was pretty seamless.
i received so many compliments on our choice of venue from our Californian guests as well as the service during the reception; it was really exceptional! And our guests thoroughly enjoyed the food! We really couldn't have asked for more, although this venue does come w a pretty hefty price tag.
One major thing of note though: only acoustic music is allowed during the ceremony. So make sure you read through all of the restrictions thoroughly!
Although the venue was beautiful and the food was delicious. I had a horrible experience planning my October 2017 wedding. My event coordinator, Annie, was uninformative about many...
critical details, and as a result we lost thousands of dollars because of it. She never disclosed house rules until the eleventh hour at which point my husband and I had to take a loss. I wrote her a letter the month before the wedding expressing my displeasure with the way our event was being handled and she promised me full disclosure and a better working experience. However the day of the wedding before I was about to walk down the aisle she told my flower girls that they could NOT drop flower peddles on their courtyard! Once again the eleventh hour and hundreds of dollars lost. All these months later I still live with these unpleasant memories on such a special day.
From the minute I stepped into Il Mercato, I knew I was having my reception there. Not only is it incredibly gorgeous, every second of working with them was Beyond enjoyable. From ...
Annie, who gave us our first tour, dealt with all my crazy rental questions, AND sat through an entire tasting meal with me and my now husband, to Leilah who made sure the month leading up to and everything on the wedding day was perfect, everyone at Il Mercato was a dream to work with. Not only did they make me feel like my wedding was truly important and exciting to them, but they worked with me to make sure I stayed within a budget I could manage. I HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone and everyone who wants the best service and the most beautiful wedding space in New Orleans!

TO DIE FOR! Joel's was amazing for our 2/11/17 destination wedding in New Orleans from the beginning to the end. Annie with Joel's was instrumental in planning our wedding. She pro...
vided helpful recommendations and brainstorming sessions that gave us confidence in our process. We were obsessed with the food from our tasting, especially the mini grilled cheese and blue crab beignets. Our friends and family were blown away at the quality of the food, and they kept going back for more. They also commented on the quality of the service at our wedding and how fun the bartenders/servers were. We had a flip where the ceremony room was turned into the reception during the cocktail hour. Joel's was able to get everything setup during that 1 hour cocktail hour. The event ran so smoothly, and we had no doubts that it would because it was all in Annie's hands (the genius that she is). Could not have asked for a better caterer for our wedding!

My husband is a chef and so we wanted awesome food at our wedding at the Beauregard-Keyes House. When people heard that great food was our priority, every single one of our New Orl...
eans friends and vendors said one word: "Joel!" And they were right. Joel organized a Friday night passed hors d'oeuvres cocktail party and our Saturday night wedding with passed hors d'oeuvres, an oyster bar, and a buffet reception. They were accommodating with creating a Frankenstein bar (they supplied the spirits and mixers, we selected and brought in our own wines) and doing a really amazing groom's surprise caviar service. All in all, they were consummate professionals (Tey especially is a ROCK STAR), delightful to work with, and, last but certainly not least, the food was amazing and everybody loved it. A wedding truly fit for a chef!
Joel's catered our rehearsal dinner (175 people) and our wedding (200), and flat out, killed it. They were beyond. Just hire them already.
Katie, the coordinator is awesome. S...
he's young, hip, and totally gets good food. She is beyond accommodating, always calm and stress-free, and just plain downright cool.
When we were first planning our wedding, we were really picky about the food- it was really important to us and we wanted to choose every item. Joel's accommodated every request- even hunting down recipes from our favorite restaurant in Los Angeles to make a taco we loved from our first date-- they are THAT dedicated. And the taco they made was pretty damn good.
One of the best parts of using Joel's were the servers. They are so much freaking fun. They were personable, friendly, attentive, and even danced while they were serving food. They just made the whole night feel light and fun, and completely kept the tone we were setting of an upscale night picnic. One of the coolest things about the servers was that they all remembered our guests from the rehearsal dinner the night before. Our guests felt special when their drink was remembered or they were greeted by name, and that made us happy. As the bride and groom, we had heard horror stories from friends who never ate at their own weddings bc the day went too fast. Not us-- Katie put staff members on us and, wonderfully, also our parents, to make sure we were always looked after- it was like the food Secret Service. If I turned around, my favorite drink was already there waiting. They remembered what my mom liked to drink and always had it for her too. They stalked us with delicious treats in hand, and it was awesome. They just made everything special.
The food deserves its own review because its just downright delicious. I don't know what they put in their grits, but I could have just eaten those all night. We did a family-style meal with fried chicken, pork shoulder, grits, seasonal salads, biscuits, a full dessert bar and late night sliders passed around... it was amazing. We had multiple guests tell us that it was the best food they ever had, and the best compliment that we can give is that nothing tasted like wedding food.
The entire experience was perfect. Rock on Joel's.
My event coordinator Kate went above and beyond to make everything perfect on my wedding day. We held our wedding at Hermann Grima House in New Orleans. This venue is BYO- Everythi...
ng! This was intimidating at first but Kate made everything so easy. Joel Catering provided all rentals (tables, plates, flat wear, serving station and even two bars! Bartenders and waitresses. Kate even went above and beyond helping with some small decor details on the day of the wedding. She was always very attentive to all of my questions and great at responding to my emails. Almost all of the them within the day of writing her! I am from Philadelphia and did not go to NOLA at all during planning process. Everything was over the phone or email. Without Kate and Joel catering I do not know how my wedding day would have turned out. They were the perfect team for the job. The food was beyond amazing and all of our guests commented on how it was their favorite meal their whole visit to New Orleans which is saying a lot in this town! Guests raved about the " Late Nigh snack" We served Beignets, sliders and fries an hour before the reception was over. The shrimp and grits are a MUST! I felt that their prices were very reasonable for the quality of what you are getting!
