Venues & Event Spaces near Avondale, LA

“I want to thank and praise all the ladies working the front reception. I just stayed 4 nights there visiting my family in the area. The day I arrived my AC wouldn’t cool my room, so the sweet girl at the reception came to my room and fixed it immediately. I also brought my little 5 lb Chihuahua and they fell in love with her. They greeted us every time we walked by the desk and asked how we were doing. The room was very clean and the first day my little Sophie got sick on my bedding from the long drive we had just made, and the sweet lady at the front desk, changed my bedding for me, herself, since housekeeping was already gone for the day. My last day there, I got confused on my checkout date, and forgot to check out. They worked with me, said it was all good, and allowed me to checkout later in the day and worked with me on any charges. I would definitely stay here the next time I go home to visit. I just can’t say enough nice things about the hotel and staff.”

“The new orleans pharmacy museum is a must see when in new orleans!
It was a fascinating history into the history of pharmacies including drugs and the tools that they used. I highly recommend it”

“We loved our wedding at Paradigm Gardens! The garden was beautiful, and we got lots of compliments on the food and even the signature mocktail we chose. We worked with Karen Wang as our wedding coordinator, and she was super helpful with the planning and with making sure everything ran smoothly and stress-free on the day of the wedding. She also helped us find our band and photographer and they did an amazing job. We had a great time, so many good memories. Would highly recommend.”

“We had our wedding at The Jaxson, and I truly cannot say enough amazing things about our experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect.

Anthony and Lane are beyond incredible. They are so communicative, always on point, and genuinely know every detail of their venue, layout, and team like the back of their hand. Throughout the entire process, we felt completely supported and confident that everything was in the best hands.

The venue itself is stunning, elegant, unique, and the perfect backdrop for our big day. The drinks were impeccable, the food was absolutely amazing, and every single detail was executed flawlessly.

Our wedding day felt seamless, stress-free, and honestly better than we could have ever imagined—and that is all thanks to the team at The Jaxson.

I cannot recommend The Jaxson enough. If you’re looking for a venue that will exceed every expectation and make your day unforgettable, this is it.”

“Absolutely stunning property! The architecture is gorgeous, the rooms are spotless and cozy, and the location in the heart of the Garden District is perfect. The breakfast was delicious and the staff made us feel right at home. It’s a quiet, romantic, and historic gem. Highly recommend!”

“Wonderful atmosphere, clean and spacious facilities including restrooms, warm & friendly staff & players, skilled pickleball games, and extremely welcoming people are a short list of excellent things to name about this facility. If I were to split hairs and find something needing improvement, I would say that there could be even more courts, and that it’s difficult to get into(because it’s an awesome place to socialize and play pickleball). However, once one secures a spot, get ready to experience friendliness and great competition! I got the pleasure of being introduced to the owner, Renee, and her husband, both of whom were outgoing, friendly, and welcoming! I loved my experience here, and even made new friends! Thank you Exchange for making the best of the unfortunate weather situation, and providing an enjoyable activity in spite of it! There is nothing that replaces the friendliness of good people, and I’m glad to see that it’s alive and well here at The Exchange in NOLA!”

“It was nice wedding set up, but the dance floor was uneven I spent the whole night worrying if I would trip and fall like walking down the street in New Orleans or where I live in SF the sidewalks are uneven. The mansion is beautiful as well as the grounds”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I cannot recommend this venue enough! Sean was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. Since we live out of town and were traveling back to New Orleans for our 10-year vow renewal celebration, we were worried about having enough time to get everything set up before our reception. Sean completely put our minds at ease.

He went above and beyond to help us every step of the way and did everything he could to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. His kindness, professionalism, and willingness to jump in wherever needed made such a huge difference on our special day.

Because of Sean, everything came together beautifully, and we were able to truly enjoy celebrating with our family and friends instead of stressing over the details.

If I could book this venue a million times over, I absolutely would! The customer service was exceptional, and Sean is truly one of a kind. Thank you for helping make our vow renewal so special and unforgettable.”

“I attended the Official Welcome Party for Essence 2026 last week. It was ah-mazing! There was ample space for partying, until 11pm. The place became so crowded!
Oh what fun...”

“Very nice well kept historical house. Great tour with CJ I believe her name was. Very knowledgeable and easy to listen to and hear. Tours are on the hour. Nice mix of period furniture. Gardens are well kept as well.”

“Ms. Zee was amazing! She made sure my special day was stress and worry free! Her communication and commitment to make sure my day ran as smooth as possible made me feel very confident about the overall outcome of my baby shower! She was extremely attentive to my wants and needs throughout the entire process! I will be renting from her again in the future!”

“Irish whiskey selection is awesome and it s chill environment. I spoke to Mike the manager who was working that day and he was a chill dude with great recommendations. Cassandra is one of the employees who was hanging out on the off day which speaks highly to the establishment when an employee wants to be there on their day off.”

“My wife and I held our wedding ceremony and reception at the inn and stayed the weekend with our wedding party and family. It was a perfect weekend. The entire inn was beautiful, the breakfast each day was delicious, and we truly couldn't be happier with how the inn played into our celebration. The all-in-one wedding package made planning our wedding easy and as stress-free as weddings can be. We would do it again in a heartbeat.”

“We planned our 100 person wedding in under a year and Latrobe's ensured it was so beautiful, it felt like we'd planned much longer! The space is lovely, location convenient, food/bar options amazing etc. The team are experts at what they do. Rylen, Hanna, Bonnie are all very knowledgeable- you basically get three coordinators for the price of one. Shoutout to Martay for ensuring we were eating and drinking all evening, despite trying to talk to everyone at once!”

“What an authentic NOLA jazz experience. No photos or video allowed during the show which allows for a present and intentional experience. A didn’t plan ahead and snagged standing tickets a few days before my show. Standing wasn’t bad at all. The show only lasts about 45 mins. If you’d prefer a bench seat I recommend booking well in advance.”

“Did not know this place existed until I helped work an event there. Its a really beautiful Pavillion, and the size of it was great! I definitely encourage people to check it out”

“We love this place!
We’ve held several fundraising galas to help Hispanic children in our community. Magnolia Weddings and Events has always treated us incredibly well.
The venue has a spacious dance floor where guests can enjoy the music and dance; the decor is elegant, and you don’t need to decorate the space yourself. It also has its own parking lot and DJ.
Food: The appetizers are excellent in taste, quantity, and quality. The buffet is available for a long time.
Service: The administrative staff and the young people who serve us at the parties are professional and take good care of our guests.
Cost: The prices are fair for everything included in their services.

“I celebrated my 50th birthday at Prohibition in their balcony room that Bourbon Street Balcony Rental arranged. They were amazing to work with! Sharon was so valuable in planning from far away and the staff at Prohibition was excellent. If I could give 10 stars I would. Such a memorable experience!”

“Let's begin with the customer service that was great. The venue itself was clean, modern, spacious, and convenient location. I really enjoyed the layout. The venue only require minimum decorations and still looks beautiful. The staff was very informative and welcoming. Highly recommended!”

“This place is an absolute gem in New Orleans! I was able to coordinate corporate dinner with the Calcasieu team all the way in Hawaii. I worked with Jacques and he was extremely helpful. Planning out the pre-fixe menu was easy with Jacques’ guidance and help. The pricing was very reasonable. When we arrived on the day of our event, there was a cute tripod sign out on the sidewalk leading up to the event’s site that outlined our team’s business meeting dinner. The location is nestled in between Cochon and Cochon Butcher’s Block. The ambiance of the place is very chic and trendy, but industrial, with the metal and kiln-fired brick look. The lighting is dim, but not too dark. The staff are EXCELLENT!! The day of our event I worked with Aaron and his bartending/server team, Monroe and Nick, and our Chef was Chef Anthony. Everything was PERFECT. From the pre-made cocktails to match our event’s theme, to the delicious pass apps (hors d’oeuvres) that were served to our guests. We had the smoked salmon dip on a kettle chip appetizer that was really tasty! And the veggie skewers that also didn’t disappoint. The pre-fixe dinner menu was a hit among our 26 guests! The salad was really yummy… the light refreshing taste of the dressing was delightful. I had the roasted chicken with sweet potatoes garlic confit and chicken jus that was insanely divine!! I wanted more!!! Others in our party enjoyed the braised beef short rib with mashed potatoes and onion jam. Everything was so well seasoned and delicious! Then the dessert was the chocolate chip bread pudding with a crème anglaise sauce and a pineapple upside down cake. Nothing fell short of what was expected… matter of fact, everything exceeded our expectations to the max! Thank you to Aaron, Chef Anthony, Monroe and Nick for the exceptional customer service! I will definitely visit again when we’re back in NOLA. Thank you all for your exquisite hospitality and amazingly delicious food. I’d recommend this place in a heartbeat because it’s THAT GOOD!!!”

“Cookie the bartender was awesome. I was alone and from out of town and she made me feel very welcome when I was obviously out of place. Great vibe.
Beware, there are items being smoked inside (everything but cigarettes) so know that your clothes will smell the next day. Or something to consider if you have asthma.
Huge outdoor space with awesome smelling food.
30+ year olds only.”

“Absolutely loved this place! My younger baby had so much fun playing. We went at the 11am time slot on a Friday. They had a couple kids there before us and one that came after. It’s perfect for younger kids who can’t quite play on the equipment at the parks yet or want to stay in the AC. Most of the play equipment is enclosed so you don’t have to worry about your baby falling out. It was very clean Will absolutely be bringing him back!”

“This is a beautiful place to have any kind of event. It's clean, spacious, elegant lots of parking. I've been to 2 birthday parties and both were nice.”

“This parrt of the park is really nice with a panteon type building having stone lion protecting it. Some of the trees are wonderful with the moss drape making them look excellent, Near to here is a cafe where you can get really nice pastries (Beignets 3 off served at a time). Watch out though theyhave a lot of icing sugar.”

“Beautiful rustic New Orleans style event space with endless possibilities to meet your vision. Staff goes above and beyond to make your event special. The food is delicious, and the menu can be customized to meet all of you and your guests' dietary needs.”

“The hotel is nice and all the staff were excellent. The rooms are comfy and clean and very quiet with no neighbor noise coming through the walls. I recommend staying here, you will not regret it.”

“What a great venue for private events and art showings. Loved the ambience. Christian and Connie couldn't have been more accommodating to ensure a great memory.”

“Beautiful facility, awesome staff, delicious food and great drinks.
The only improvement I'd suggest is BETTER LIGHTING OUTSIDE the Baronne Street entrance. It was very dark and looked closed at the 7pm event start time and was just as dark to exit when the event ended about 11pm. This could pose a fall or personal safety risk to guests.”
