As a New Orleans wedding photographer, Hotel Saint Vincent, for me personally, is one of the coolest wedding venues in the city. It’s chic, sophisticated, and this isn’t just a hotel – it’s an experience. The hotel is also glamorous, grand, and creates a vibe of its own that simply can’t be replicated.

Planning a Hotel Saint Vincent Wedding
Hotel Saint Vincent is a local New Orleans treasure that has been recently renovated over the last few years, and trust me when I tell you that it has been restored to perfection! It is located in the Lower Garden District of New Orleans and can be found inside a landmark 1861 building that used to be an infant asylum. Even with the restorations, the building still pays homage to its past.
The property gives you everything you need to experience New Orleans, including a bright, airy restaurant with Spanish-inspired tiles, tropical murals, and a beautiful bar.
It also has several different types of event spaces you can use. Also, events are welcome in almost every corner of the property. Here’s a breakdown of some of the different spaces you could use specifically for your ceremony:
Evangeline Hall and Courtyard
The Evangeline Hall and Courtyard is both an indoor and outdoor space that has an open floor plan and can accommodate 100 guests for your ceremony and 125 guests for your reception. It also has a full kitchen and a bar.
Second Floor Veranda
The second-floor veranda is a smaller space that is outdoors and overlooks the iconic hotel pool and courtyard. In this space, you could have 80 guests for your ceremony and 60 for your reception.
This is also a great space to host your cocktail hour, but you could also have your wedding ceremony on the veranda if you want to have a smaller, intimate celebration.
Chapel Club
The Chapel Club is perfect for you if you know you want to have a very small and private wedding at Hotel Saint Vincent, as it has space for 20 guests inside. This space recreates the style of a grand hotel salon and has a fun neon-lit entrance, velvet bar siding, black and white marble top, and so much more to offer you for an unforgettable celebration.

Amenities and services of Hotel Saint Vincent
Another noteworthy feature of this venue is that it is a 75-room hotel, so you and your guests can comfortably enjoy an entire wedding weekend here and the hotel amenities, which include an interior courtyard, swimming pool, outdoor verandas, lush public space, and more.
The hotel also has two full-service restaurants and catering options for your wedding. For catering, the culinary team at the hotel is truly incredible, and they come with a glowing recommendation from me!
The culinary team works with you to create customizable dining options that align with your personal tastes and preferences. They offer you a variety of options that include buffet, plated, coursed, and family-friendly dining options for your wedding.
A wedding package at Hotel Saint Vincent typically starts around $6000. Their wedding packages include exclusive usage of their event spaces, event staff, along with additional amenities to ensure you have an unforgettable experience.
A + D’s Colorful Hotel Saint Vincent Wedding
If all of this has captured your attention, here’s a behind-the-lens look at A + D’s charming and vibrant spring celebration at Hotel Saint Vincent to inspire you for your wedding:
Something you’ll realize right away about A + D when you meet them is that they are both very stylish individuals. A actually helped design her wedding dress with custom floral embroidery, and her dress was absolutely stunning.
Another must-have for A and D was that they wanted color to be a major focus of their day without being garish or distracting.
They thoughtfully infused color into their day with their gorgeous floral arrangements (from both the hanging floral installations to the centerpieces to the corsages and bouquets). Furthermore, they added color to their elegant table settings, their reception details, and to their ceremony site.
One of the highlights of this wedding was the family-style meal served, which was a treat for A, D, and all of their guests. Hotel Saint Vincent’s did a phenomenal job! Their food is truly top-notch, and it’s such a cool and memorable experience for you and your guests.
A + D’s Vibrant Florals
I also have to call attention to A + D’s wedding florals because they were so visually striking. Their floral arrangements were more than just colorful blooms; they were art, and I was obsessed with them! For their ceremony, they had an exquisite floral arrangement as their backdrop that consisted of both plants and flowers.
They also had colorful corsages that were given to mothers to wear on the day of their celebration. I thought this was so both beautiful and heartfelt. They also had stunning nature-inspired centerpieces on their tables at their reception. Another feature of their reception was an eye-catching floral installation that was hung on the ceiling over their reception tables.
Their flowers definitely gave me the impression of a whimsical, colorful floral style as their arrangements were vibrant, playful, and botanical while appearing to be both natural and effortless.
