Second lining our way RIGHT into Pride Month! 🕺🏻🌈🎷

We believe the best celebrations are the ones filled with love, joy, community… and plenty of music, of course! Here’s to celebrating LOVE for all couples, all year round. Happy Pride from our krewe to yours! 🫶🏼

A little live music goes a LONG way 🎺

Whether it’s a a soloist or string quartet setting the tone as guests arrive, a brass band leading the second line through the streets, or a band that gets the party going: live music will always make a lasting impact.

We’ll never get tired of seeing how musicians bring just the right energy our space, every time.

Your summer wedding prep just got a little easier 📋 Here’s a list of our must-haves, especially for some of New Orleans’ hottest days of the year:

Summer Wedding Packing List
🌞A handheld fan, your personal MVP when the air stops moving
🌞 Light, flowy outfit options to keep things easy and breezy
🌞 Sunscreen, of course, because sunburn at the reception is NOT an ideal look
🌞 Sunglasses, especially for those daytime ceremonies
🌞 Mini deodorant or fragrance for a quick reset

Gotta keep those wedding day priorities in check! 👌🏼✨

It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos and the details, but THIS is what your day is all about.

These two really put the “garden” in Lower Garden District🌷

Jennifer + Michael’s wedding day was just about as inso-worthy as it gets. In true spring fashion, they brought our courtyard to life with pinks, greens, and as many florals as humanly possible. Needless to say, we’re still obsessed!

There’s a lot to love about an Il Mercato wedding, but our prime location has to be near the top of the list ✨

Nestled in the heart of the Lower Garden District, we’re in one of New Orleans’ most distinctive neighborhoods, surrounded by beloved spots along Magazine Street and just a short ride from the French Quarter.

Not only does our location keep things central for vendors, it also gives you and your guests plenty of options for pre- and post-celebration shenanigans. World-famous restaurants, bars, hotels, iconic sights, and that unmistakable New Orleans charm around every corner. ⚜️

Going green is always a good idea. 🌿

Kaylee + Paul saw an opportunity to embrace the space when it came to décor on their wedding day, and it definitely paid off.

By opting for fresh spring greens and an ambiance that complemented the venue, the entire celebration stood out. Every element felt like it belonged here, even if it was brought in. We can't get enough!
