Your Wedding Experience

A Fairytale Experience Surpassing Other Wedding Venues New Orleans

Your Fairytale Wedding

This is your once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

Our New Orleans wedding venue has breathtaking spaces and delicious catering that will create the perfect celebration. There is no better place to experience the outdoor evening character of New Orleans than at The Fleur de Lis Event Center. Wedding couples love our star ceilings with an outside feel but inside environment, state of the art sound and projection systems, high-speed WiFi, full-service catering, accessibility, and parking. We’ve been perfecting our process for 12+ years and hosted 1,000+ weddings, but that doesn’t mean that your experience will be “cookie-cutter” because each wedding is unique and distinct to the wedding couple’s vision. Locally owned and operated with a dedicated staff, we’re one of the few wedding venues New Orleans that is an affordable alternative to high-priced hotels.

“We have family and friends that still talk about how wonderful the wedding was and how awesome the food was.” – Shirlene Walimaki

Our Most Frequently Asked Questions

Chad, the owner, was trained at Disney and believes that every bride should be treated like Cinderella – not only on her wedding day – but before, during, and after her wedding. He often tells brides that we can handle all the details other than picking the guy. Our venue is a one-stop, all-inclusive wedding venue. While we provide many services such as catering, bar, DJ, photo booth, wedding planning, linens, decor, and more, we have amazing referrals for the things we don’t provide such as cake and photography.

Our theme is uniquely outside at night in New Orleans, except we control the weather. While we believe our service is Disney level and second to none, our real differentiating factor is our star ceilings with an outside feel but inside environment. We also have been perfecting our processes for almost 12 years and well over a thousand weddings. Yet, we are improving constantly remodeling and updating.

Our culinary experience is based on something that we learned at Disney – each guest is a VIP – not a very important person, but a very individual person. We have a saying around here that we treat different people individually. Everybody likes something different. so we created a menu that has been fine-tuned for 12 years, including hand passed items, action stations, and a buffet designed to meet everyone’s needs. While most wedding venues New Orleans give you a long list of options but only allow you to choose 3-5, we provide all of our options.

While we won’t go to outside vendor locations with the bride, we often host vendor meetings with brides.

Yes, you are allowed to hire your own vendors and we can even help with referrals if you like.

‘Planning a wedding is in most cases the first time in your life you will spend a large amount of money, divided between many different vendors. How do you know who will do a good job? Who will do all they promise? Who can provide what you are looking for? The questions are endless. The bottom line navigating this unique once in a lifetime process will take an enormous amount of time, discipline, effort, and, it still may not turn out as you dreamed. So what are you to do? We understand that and in fact, agree. Not only is it hard to find the right vendors, but they also change. Great vendors five years ago may not be so great today. We equally understand that if the vendors don’t treat our brides the way we demand, it is a negative reflection on us. If the bride is not happy, it may not be our fault, but it is our problem.

Who better to help plan your big day, with us, than a staff that works with vendors every week! Just let us know your budget and vision our staff will connect you with great proven vendors. We don’t simply send a preferred vendor list, in fact, we don’t have one, because it changes, we have your best interest in mind, and if a vendor does not treat our brides the way we feel they should be treated they are taken off our internal list.
