The Private Restaurant

A completely private space for up to about 100 guests, with its own entrance, bar, courtyard and covered patio. In Mandeville, on the Northshore.

The Private Restaurant at Fleur de Lis Event Center is a separate event space for smaller gatherings, about 35 minutes from New Orleans. When you book it, the whole space is yours: your own entrance, restrooms, bar, front courtyard and covered patio. Most events here have 20 or more guests, and there’s no formal minimum.

• Rehearsal dinners
• Bridal and wedding showers
• Smaller weddings and receptions
• Post-wedding brunches
• Baby showers
• Birthdays and anniversaries
• Corporate dinners and luncheons
• Retirement parties
• Holiday parties
• Celebrations of life

If you’re getting married at Fleur de Lis, our Rehearsal Dinner Package is $57 per guest with food and an open bar, or $47 per guest without alcohol. It uses a different menu from your wedding, so your guests don’t eat the same food two nights in a row.

The rehearsal dinner is a separate booking from your wedding, and booking the wedding doesn’t reserve the Restaurant, so check your date early. Most couples hold it the night before or two nights before the wedding, depending on availability.

Planning tips: see our rehearsal dinner guide.

The Restaurant has several menus and packages, depending on the type of event, your guest count and whether you’d like alcohol, so there isn’t one price for every event. Tell us your date, guest count and the kind of event you’re planning, and we’ll send you your options.

• Deposit: $500 with a signed contract reserves your date.
• Military discount: $250 off Private Restaurant events.
• Children: the first five children under age 5 aren’t counted as paid guests.

• Bar: the Restaurant has its own bar. All alcohol is served by Fleur de Lis under our liquor license, so outside alcohol isn’t permitted.
