Napoleon House

were exceptional to work with. The communication: Unmatched! They were prompt to reply to my nonstop barrage of emails, and always thorough and lovely in response. They never hesitated to answer my questions and put me at ease. And they're just as delightful in person as they are over email. The food/drinks: We had some serious dietary concerns (a guest with extreme nut and gluten allergies) and they helped us curate the most exceptional menu! Everyone RAVED about the food (folks are still talking about that meal!) and they kept our guest with allergy issues safe, which truly means the world. (In case you're wondering, we had a family-style seated dinner with shrimp and grits, jambalaya, beef tenderloin, and roasted veggies and potatoes. Lemon/parm salad to start, and finished with Bananas Foster, which is a MUST!) Pimm's cups were served to guests as they arrived (another must!!) as well as hand-passed apps (all phenomenal, but a special shout out to the mini muffulettas!) The bar staff and bevs were excellent! The space: We were upstairs in the Rosa and Pietro space, which is stunning! Elegant and storied, and the perfect canvas for additional decor, though it's not necessary. It's already full of classic New Orleans charm with beautiful flooring, high ceilings, chandeliers, stunning fireplaces, and an accessible balcony. Our guests loved hanging out on the balcony with a cocktail! Dinner was served in the Pietro Room on one, long banquet table. Napoleon House provided lovely linens and table settings. Dancing and cake were in the Rosa Room, which is so incredibly charming and intimate. The event: Josh was our event lead, and he is an absolute doll. Warm, organized, and attentive. He checked in with us regularly, making sure we were good, and always ensured we had a fresh drink in hand. Everything was seamless. The space was well prepared and event flowed beautifully. I truly have nothing put positive things to say about our experience. It was the best day and Napoleon House was instrumental in helping to make it so. A HUGE thank you Beth, Karen, and Josh! We have the most beautiful memories of our time.

for us and super accommodating! The building has so much history and is so beautiful all on it's own and the table and chairs they have on site look great. All we needed was some flower and candles for an absolutely beautiful reception space. The food was incredible and their famous Pimm's cups are a must!! Lastly the location in the heart of the French Quarter was perfect especially for our out of town guest!! We had so much fun and can not have asked for a better venue or experience!

Napoleon House. Not only is it absolutely beautiful, but Karen and Beth made us feel right at home and walked us through the process every step of the way. I had an open line of communication with Karen, and she always responded promptly and made me feel super comfortable asking questions. If you’re worried about the upstairs guest limit, it was not a problem for us at all! We had around 130 guests and we used the upstairs as well as the downstairs courtyard area, and everyone was comfortable, loved the food, and had a great time dancing throughout the night. My husband and I also loved our private dinner and felt very taken care of by the staff. Not only that, but after we had booked Napoleon House, Karen and Beth got news from corporate that there was going to be renovations in the upstairs area where we were hoping to have our reception. However, they went to bat for us, and corporate held off renovations until after our wedding. It was obvious that Karen and Beth cared about us and wanted us to have the best day on our wedding! We are so thankful for them and that we went with Napoleon House for our wedding day! Here are some photos inside the beautiful Napoleon House!

e our decision to book with Napoleon House so easy! They were so communicative, helped answer all our questions, eased our stress and helped us put together an event that all our guests enjoyed. The Rosa and Pietro rooms were beautiful and we loved the balconies and vintage charm. The food was outstanding and all our guests kept commenting on it. We even still talk about it! Josh, our event lead, was so attentive and kind. His Bananas Foster presentation was the perfect cap to a wonderful dinner. He even helped us pack up our left overs, so that we could pick them up the next day. The Napoleon House team truly went above and beyond. They made our day so stress free so that we could enjoy every moment. We would hire them again in a heartbeat.

turned from our honeymoon and our phones have been blowing up from our family and guests talking about our wedding. Our out-of-town guests were mesmerized by the atmosphere BUT to our surprise our local guests were impressed and their love for the city was renewed ... I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! From the moment I called to inquire about the Napoleon House as a potential wedding venue; I was greeted with opened arms, professionalism, top-notch hospitality, the works! I actually cancelled other venue appointments and changed my wedding date to have everything here after one conversation with Beth! NAPOLEON HOUSE DOES IT ALL FROM START TO FINISH!!! I moved away from the city at a very young age and wanted an the ol' school, authentic N'Awlins vibe for my wedding and BOY O' BOY did they deliver! Never once did the Napoleon House staff waiver in their customer service, professionalism, and dedication to making my big day the BEST DAY!!! MY HUSBAND AND I AREN'T ONLY PLEASED BUT OVERJOYED WITH NAPOLEON HOUSE! BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE NOW!!!

owe a lot of that to both of them! From our initial communication up until our wedding day, both Beth and Karen were so responsive and quick to help us with any question we had. They made wonderful suggestions for us both with vendors and planning our menu as well as layout at Napoleon House, and we cannot thank them enough for their guidance. As a venue, we were so lucky to find Napoleon House as it was budget friendly AND so beautiful on its own we didn’t need to add much decor at all. The food was exceptional, everyone was talking about it and still months later bring it up to me. It was the exact vibe we were looking for and if we could do it all over again we could. Truly nothing negative to say at all. Having our wedding reception here was the best choice we made! THANK YOU NAPOLEON HOUSE!

ss, thanks to Karen and Beth. They were incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, whether through email, TripleSeat, or phone. Their professionalism and approachability made the entire process stress-free. One standout detail about Napoleon House is how well-organized their website is. As someone who planned the entire wedding myself without hiring a planner, I appreciated having access to most of the information I needed upfront without having to ask. Beth also gave me a thorough tour of the space, which helped me envision how to plan everything perfectly. An added bonus was the affordability—the cost to reserve the space prior to full payment was only $750, which was much lower than other venues I considered. After looking at several venues, Napoleon House stood out for many reasons. Being locals, we were already familiar with the exceptional quality of their food, so we knew our guests would enjoy every bite. We set aside time during the reception to have a private meal, and our server Josh went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. The historic charm and ambiance of the building were another huge draw—it’s such a stunning space that it didn’t require any decoration to make it feel magical. Napoleon House also allowed us to use the space prior to the event’s start time, giving us the opportunity to take extra photos with our photographer, Sammy Odell. We also used the private suite area to enjoy champagne toasts with our friends before the festivities began. One important detail to note is that Napoleon House, built in 1797, is a historic building and does not have an elevator. To ensure everything ran smoothly, we notified our vendors and guests ahead of time and hired extra help for tasks like carrying the band’s equipment upstairs. We rented the Rosa and Pietro Room upstairs, which was perfect for our 81 guests. The space easily accommodated a six-piece band—The New Orleans Players—who were absolutely fantastic, as well as a dance floor for our guests to enjoy. We chose a reception-style service, allowing for a variety of food options that everyone loved, and scattered tables throughout the room for comfortable and social seating. The food was a highlight of the night, with several items becoming instant crowd favorites, including the prime rib, shrimp beignets, muffalettas, shrimp and grits, gumbo, and the show-stopping bananas foster display. Our guests are still raving about the incredible flavors and presentation. To add even more charm to the evening, we hired Alexa Fitzpatrick, a local ambient aerial performer and captain of a Mardi Gras krewe. Her mesmerizing performance added a uniquely New Orleans touch to the celebration. Our reception was everything we hoped for and more, and we’re so glad we chose Napoleon House. If you’re looking for a unique, elegant, and stress-free venue in New Orleans, I can’t recommend them highly enough.

eth, the fantastic team behind the scenes, truly made our day special. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everything went smoothly was unparalleled. The food was absolutely incredible, with the prime rib being a standout dish that our guests are still raving about. The quality and flavor of the meals surpassed our expectations, and it was clear that a lot of thought and care went into the menu. Additionally, the support from the staff throughout our wedding day was unmatched. They were attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making our celebration perfect. If you’re considering a wedding venue, Napoleon House is the place to be!

for our destination wedding because of its location, food, and ambiance all based on photos and reviews. Our family and friends cannot believe we planned our reception without ever stepping foot into the Napoleon House! We owe this success to Beth Sigur and Karen Pena, the sales director and sales manager at the Napoleon House. They were amazing in assisting my husband and I with the process of booking and planning our reception. I had only ever attended formal sit-down weddings and was a little worried about how a cocktail style wedding would be. Karen and Beth answered all of our questions and put our worries at ease! My husband and I love history and the atmosphere of the Napoleon House perfectly fit the vibe of our wedding. From the moment you step inside, it feels as if you have been transported into a beautifully preserved piece of New Orleans history. We had 100 guests and utilized the upstairs and courtyard downstairs. It never felt too crowded and it was nice to have an outdoor space in the courtyard as well as the upstairs balconies. One of the standout features of Napoleon House is the food. It was definitely a highlight of our wedding. Our guests are still raving about the menu we chose! Eating mini beignets on the dance floor is something we will never forget! Beyond the atmosphere and food, the service at Napoleon House is impeccable. The staff is friendly, professional, and attentive to every detail. The entire staff was a pleasure to work with. A special shoutout to Josh, the banquet captain. He made sure my husband and I had everything we needed. He was so thoughtful and we are so grateful for all of his assistance throughout the night. Overall, Napoleon House is an exceptional wedding venue that offers a blend of New Orleans' unique culture, stunning architecture, and mouthwatering cuisine. It's a perfect place for couples who want a memorable, elegant celebration with a true sense of place and history.

ltimore, MD, and they answered all of our questions and provided so many details that we felt comfortable to book sight unseen! (Aside from the wonderful pictures). Beth and Karen worked with our planner and other vendors using their amazing knowledge of city and the wedding industry to make sure no detail was left unchecked. Their staff was amazingly attentive and their food was TO DIE FOR. It's what most of our guests still talk about the most!!
