Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Built in 1853 as Holy Trinity Church, this Baroque gem underwent extensive, loving renovations to preserve its remarkable historic features, and has been reimagined as a “church of the arts”, serving both its Faubourg Marigny neighborhood and the whole of New Orleans.
- Restorations ensured the space kept its charming vintage patina, with details like weathered walls and exposed brick mingling with graceful nave arches and ornate flooring. A spacious, private lawn allows celebrations to flow outdoors, with ample room for tenting.
- Your wedding helps sustain the Marginy Opera House Foundation. Home to Marigny Opera Ballet company and hosting an array of programs and performances each year, their mission is to support local artists and provide a thriving community space.
