Latrobe's On Royal

If you are planning an event or wedding- do not go further, call Latrobe's now. You cannot have a better experience than at this beautiful historic space with the rockstar team led by Millie, Hana and Rylan. We had our wedding ceremony and reception here in November 2021 and cannot say enough about how much we loved it.The Space: You are in awe by how grand and historic every part of the space is from the entryway to the reception space. The ceilings are very high, the color of the space is warm and you truly do not need to decorate very much because the space is so beautiful. It also is very flexible for your number of guests and flow of events. We decided to do both our ceremony and reception here. We had the ceremony in the courtyard space (which is indoors) and then flowed through into the reception space for our cocktail-style reception. We had about 120 guests and it felt very comfortable. Definitely suggest doing the cocktail-style reception. We wanted to do a seated dinner, but ended up choosing the cocktail-style reception. It gave guests more flexibility and more dancing!The Food and Drink: WOW- everything is delicious here. We had many guests say this was the best food they had ever had at a wedding and many said it was the best food they had in New Orleans! The menu is expansive to fit any event and they are creative to fit your event or audience, especially when it comes to accommodating food allergies. Make sure to order the Ahi Tuna and the rice and beans- our favorites! Also, the bar is amazing- folks drink sazeracs to old fashioneds all night!! The bar packages include everything you need.The Planning: Working with Millie, Hana and Rylan was so fun, organized and they never let you become overwhelmed. They take care and think of every detail so you do not need a wedding planner, unless you need major help on things unrelated to the wedding space. Not only did they help us with the details related to the venue, they ensured that we were thinking about a smooth whole wedding day including tips for our officiant, organizing our photo list to organizing the second line. When you sign your contract they also give you a list of vendors- we used it for every decision from decorating, hotel blocks, and hair.The People: This may be slightly repetitive but all of the staff at Latrobe's are just so kind and thoughtful at every turn. The planning process with Millie, Hana and Rylan was a delight and they were patient when we had a million repetitive questions and encouraging as we embarked on planning our wedding while we lived far away. I even caught them at one point helping sew one of our guests dresses that had ripped- they really show the best care. The other staff from the waitstaff to bartenders were truly kind, thoughtful and so hospitable. Q who took us around all night made us feel comfortable, cared for and so special.The Couples Experience: Guests had the best experience but we should also say as the couple it was so thoughtfully laid out. The flow for my husband and I was perfect. After the ceremony, they had a plate of food with champagne for my husband and I to enjoy with a moment of quiet before we entered the party. They checked on us throughout the night to make sure we had anything we needed. We felt so cared for and got to eat which no couple ever says!We are already starting to save up to do another party for an anniversary at Latrobe's. You will only regret not going with Latrobe's.

Wow! What an amazing venue owned by some amazing women! They are not "just a venue". It is an experience and they go above and beyond to help. I had no idea what i was doing when me and my mom were planning my wedding and they didn't just book their venue. They walked us through everything including dj, cake, flowers, lighting that goes well with our vision, placement of everything, food selection. They give u full control while helping guide you. Highly recommend! I have nothing negative to say about my experience here with them

My company was visiting New Orleans for a work trip and we hosted a gala dinner/awards ceremony here. I worked with Rylan and Hana to help plan my event--they exceeded my expectations on all accounts & were so accommodating to any requests I had! Location was perfect as it was right by the French Quarter. The venue itself is gorgeous--it's set in an old bank and has the perfect amount of charm. We were able to seat 50 people comfortably for dinner, and could definitely seat more. The venue has a back area/courtyard as well where we hosted the party/dancing/jazz band/photobooth after dinner. Food was phenomenal. Was not expecting it to be as amazing as it was especially with a larger group and at a venue. One of the best meals I had in New Orleans! Overall, had the best experience working with Latrobe's. I'm usually very picky with venue and food and they blew it out of the park. One of the best event spaces and people to work with. You will not regret working with them.

Oh my. This was the location of my niece's wedding on Saturday night and we had the whole space and it was GORGEOUS! All the out of town guests were super impressed with the historic FQ charm and I was really impressed with the staff and the food.All the items from the fancy crudite display to the passed appetizers to the crawfish ettouffe to the amazing mashed potatoes were yummy. The staff was really accommodating to the various needs of my family, from finding an additional chair for older parents to pretending I wasn't sitting in a corner on the floor with a child crashed in my lap. Of course, this being NOLA, I'm friends with a few of the management folks who run the joint but my brother wasn't aware of that connection until late in the game. But I did get to hear how helpful and responsive they were after the fact, especially with all the players involved in the wedding planning.Thanks, Latrobe's for a wonderful night.

What a cool spot for a wedding!The food was amazing - seafood gumbo was the best I've ever had. It had huge chunks of seafood in it, no skimping there. And the seafood tortellini and oyster bar were also great.Beautiful inside. Vaulted ceilings, historic charm and beauty. My only complaint was the three rooms. Because of the size of the wedding I attended, there were people in all three at all times and food was being served in all of them. It was a bit challenging to navigate, and I missed two entire food stations! But for a smaller wedding that starts in one room and then moves into the other, this would be perfect.

BEAUTIFUL! GORGEOUS! BREATHTAKING!Wow.Latrobe's is one of the best wedding venues I have ever entered. I attended a wedding that consisted of bout 100 people total. Just the perfect size for a group around that number.There is a main foyer and a collection of rooms that feel like they blend together while remaining separated. From wedding to reception, the transition was so smooth just based on the design of the building, alone. The decor is very simple but it's made super-dramatic by strategically placed recessed colored lighting and candles. Also, not sure of the specifics but the building itself gives off an old vibe - like a century old or something. Rather than being creepy, it just adds to the romanticism (is that a word?) of an occasion such as a wedding. The staff was so awesome, attending to all of our needs and just being extra-accommodating.I would suggest for anyone looking to be wed in the French Quarter that they look into Latrobe's. The venue made for a wedding to remember forever and for always!

I wish I had more stars to give. My daughters wedding ceremony and reception were nothing short of magical. Rylan, Hana, and Millie are AMAZING! From the first tour, to the planning/tastings, rehearsal, to the actual ceremony and reception was just PERFECT. We live 6 hours away and were in their hands because we (the parents) didn't know how New Orleans "rolled"! They provided us with a surplus of information, and not just for their venue, but for little tidbits leading up to the wedding. The venue is absolutely breathtaking. The key words I have heard from the wedding are breath taking, stunning, "blown away". I haven't even mentioned how we were taken care of- Marte is truly an AMAZING person! He is so genuine and kind and wonderful! He carried my daughters train around from front of building to the entrance so nothing would get on it before going down the aisle . And when my husband said to her that if marriage isn't what she wants, they will turn left instead of right to the doors and Marte said "and I'm turning left with you" ! ( don't read anything into my husband's comment! It's a family thing where his Dad said it to him and we have been happily married for 33 years) Marte took excellent care of us- ALL of the staff did! The DJ was on point and everyone was enjoying the dance floor, and when the fine folks that had been taking such care of us all evening, got in on the dances-- it was the cherry on top! SO MUCH FUN!! The hot and cold passes were perfect- the food was AMAZING- at one point, my husband got up and got in line for food, and Marte quickly redirected him back to his seat and told him " I got you". That was the entire evening! Latrobe's took care of every detail. They were always 5 steps ahead of me . Over and over people asked me if I was stressed about preparing for the wedding, and I NEVER was b/c of the Ladies of Latrobes. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Latrobe's for your venue. I would do it all over again 100%

Oh my god. Latrobe's is the best happy accident we ever had. Our original wedding venue went under due to COVID related issues in 2021...so we were quite panicked that we had to start all over and look around for a decent venue (along with everyone else who had to re-plan their weddings). We kind of just...stumbled upon Latrobe's and we sent an inquiry. Rylan, Hanna and Millie immediately replied...and kept on replying to any questions I had. One thing I was impressed with was that, when we met with them in person or exchanged emails with them, they ALWAYS talked to and included the groom. A lot of places prior to Latrobe's just ignored my then-fiancé, thinking his shyness was bored disinterest. My now husband was impressed by their insistence on making him part of the conversation. When we signed the contract...I was nervous we'd be ghosted for awhile...I was always wrong! Rylan always made sure to get back to me, to answer any questions we had, and always gave GREAT advice on all things wedding (PSA - she's usually right on everything). Latrobe's itself? yes. the rumors are true. AMAZING venue, FANTASIC FOOD, prefect ambiance, absurdly perfect attendants and waiters.The day of the wedding Rylan and Hanna went above and beyond to make sure things ran smoothly. Whenever I wasn't quite sure what to do- they were always there. Rylan was there before and after we walked down the aisle, and Hanna was there when we started our second line. A lot of anxiety was quelled just by their presence. Latrobe's was perfect. The people who run it made it epic.

I can't say enough about Latrobes. Taking on the daunting task of coordinating my son's wedding was made easier with the help of Hana and Rylan, and their invaluable assistance and suggestions. They were always available with prompt replies to my questions and emails, which was very important in order to make timely decisions. The wedding ceremony was also held at Latrobes, along with the reception, and the space was magical. A true New Orleans setting. And the food. Rarely does one leave a wedding raving about the food, but you will at Latrobes. From the tasty appetizers to the to-die-for melt-in-your-mouth roast beef. And then there's the incredible service you and your guests will receive throughout the evening. The entire experience, from planning beginnings to party's end, was wonderful! Thanks Hana and Rylan!

Each year, our company hosts an exclusive VIP Event for our high-level executives and spouses. We have had the pleasure of visiting some spectacular destinations - Punta Mita, Mexico, Jackson Hole, WY, Scottsdale, AZ, Park City, UT and Tucson, AZ. This year, we chose New Orleans as the location and I was tasked with finding a unique venue for a dinner reception. New Orleans offers a multitude of options for a reception from renowned restaurants, historic mansions and museums. While I received proposals from at least ten venues, I was drawn to Latrobe's on Royal. Ultimately, I chose Latrobe's sight unseen based on the pictures online, location, menu, value and responsiveness of the staff. Fingers crossed that they would deliver to the level we are accustomed.I am happy to report that our 50 guests were blown away by the stunning architecture, delicious food, appealing presentation, lively (but unobtrusive) jazz band, and attentive service. This is not an easy crowd to please, and Latrobe's impressed everyone. The pictures don't do justice to the beauty and warmth of the building - even without extra décor, it is simply elegant. The menu selections were on par (if not better) than any of the highly recommended restaurants we visited. The staff was welcoming, friendly and flexible with onsite requests. While initially worried that the jazz trio may drown out conversation, they were set up just outside the main room so you could enjoy them without shouting over them. Again, very thoughtful from a planner's perspective.I don't normally repeat venues when returning to a city, but I would not hesitate to hold another reception at Latrobe's on Royal. It is truly a one of a kind gem.
