The Columns Overview

If you have been searching for a New Orleans wedding venue that is at once grand, elegant, and modern -- then you have found your perfect match in The Columns! Blending modern amenities with vintage style, this stunning late 19th century home is guaranteed to impress both you and your guests. Nestled in the Big Easy’s Garden District, this gorgeous home is one of the few surviving Italianate houses that painted the town in the late 1880’s. Imagine exchanging your vows in the main gallery, complete with stately mahogany stairwell and an epic domed ceiling made of stained glass. For an outdoor affair, look to the beautifully landscaped Side Terrace. The wonderfully restored Drawing Room, Avenue Room, Albertine’s Room, and Ballroom all offer stunning historic spaces to host a reception. With over 35 years of event planning experience, the staff at the Columns will ensure that your big day is expertly assembled and impeccably executed!
