Archive for the ‘weddings venues’ Category

I’m getting married this summer and I want to get married in New Orleans, but we are on a VERY limited budget. Is there any small outdoor venues that are beautiful and nice, but also cheap?

Here are some locations that are listed as free/cheap for weddings:

Audubon Park
Located between famous St. Charles Avenue and the Mississippi River

Old Spanish Fort Gardens
A lovely site on the banks of Bayou St. John, located in a quiet residential area of New Orleans.

Louis Armstrong Park (Fee For Large Parties)
Located in downtown New Orleans on famous Rampart Street, this area used to be a gathering place for slaves and was one of the birthplaces of jazz. (Recommended for ‘day use’ only.)

City Park
In the heart of New Orleans sits 1,500 beautiful acres including the largest collection of mature live oaks in the world, 8 miles of lagoon, and some very beautiful and inspiring settings for your celebration. Click here for more information.

Note: Specific locations such as the Botanical Gardens, Peristyle, Fountain, etc. do have a fee and should be reserved well in advance. For other locations in City Park, there is no fee.

French Quarter Courtyard
Usually, if you are staying at a French Quarter Hotel or B&B (Bed and Breakfast) there may be a lovely courtyard for your celebration with no fee or a modest fee. If not, I can arrange for the use of one for your wedding at a reasonable cost.

Local Restaurants
Many local fine restaurants are happy to provide facilities for your wedding and dinner / reception after the ceremony:

The Bombay Club – Located in the French Quarter, it has "Old New Orleans" charm and excellent food. The courtyard is a lovely setting for your wedding. Visit TheBombayClub.com for more information.
Bayona – Nestled in a 200 year old Creole Cottage in the French Quarter, it has is three distinctly different and unique dining rooms plus a lush courtyard with tropical greenery and gurgling fountain. Truly romantic! Visit Bayona.com for more information.
Broussards – A world famous New Orleans tradition of excellence since 1920. Three beautiful dining rooms and a large courtyard/patio with a fountain. Visit Broussards.com for more information.

Jackson Square
Located in the heart of the French Quarter is the famous, historic Jackson Square. Usually busy with many tourists and lots of activity. The city requires a $250 permit fee for wedding parties. A nearby site is the Washington Artillery Monument, overlooking Jackson Square with the beautiful St. Louis Cathedral in the background (Fee varies depending on expected number of guests – minimum $150). An advance permit is required for both locations.

I hope this helps.
All my best to you.

This isn’t technically in LA county it’s in Chino, it’s called "El Prado Golf Course", I helped plan a wedding there, it was about $3,500 for 100 guest to eat at the reception that included a lot of stuff like the tables & chairs, some linens, dance floor, Champagne or apple cider toasts, unlimited coffee, punch, ice tee, & water for guests, security, there was more i just can’t remember.

You could also have the ceremony there for less than a $800 that included an arch, the white chairs, white aisle runner, & a bridal dressing room. The food was great, the staff was helpful & the price was right for us. Hope this helps good luck!!!
