Event Venues

Need to sleep 20, 30 or more people under one roof? The Mansion on Royal sleeps 30+ guests (up to 36) in 15 bedrooms across two connected 1850s homes, one of only a handful of places in New Orleans that can keep a group that size together. In the heart of the Faubourg Marigny, your wedding party, family or team is minutes from the city's most loved wedding and event venues.
