Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Built in 1853 as a German Catholic 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 non-profit 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.
