Latrobe’s On Royal

If you’re considering booking at Latrobe’s, don’t second guess yourself. JUST DO IT. You will not be disappointed. Jessie and Rylan were so helpful through our entire planning process. One of the most helpful things was the ‘preferred vendor list’ they provided upon booking. We booked everything off of their list: our photographer, band, flowers, ceremony musician, and candles. It made wedding planning so easy! The second we walked into Latrobe’s on our wedding night felt like a dream. The venue is so old New Orleans with the perfect french quarter charm. The building without décor is so gorgeous, but oh my goodness when it’s lit with candlelight and roses it is just so incredibly romantic. Not to mention the FOOD. Every single dish was to die for. We got so many compliments from our guests about how perfect our wedding was and how delicious the food was. Everyone warned me to be prepared if anything went wrong on my wedding day… but NOTHING went wrong. It was perfect. Latrobe’s was perfect. My husband and I even spent the next night after our wedding walking around the french quarter. We stood across the street staring at Latrobe’s, overwhelmed with emotions from the night before and even let out a few tears of joy. Latrobe’s now has such a special place in our hearts. If you want a fairytale wedding, book Latrobe’s!

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.

Was here for a private party. What a cool spot! The staff was amazing. Building used to be a bank and they have a bar in the vault! Apparently there was also a VIP section upstairs, but I wasn’t important enough to ascend the spiral staircase :)
The food was amazing. The passed appetizers and stations were great.

There is a person on the waitstaff named Julian who is simply wonderful. During last night’s wedding he was attentive and professional. He was so helpful and anticipated all of our needs. SHOUT OUT TO JULIAN!

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.

Our daughter’s ceremony and reception were held at Latrobe’s. We had guests from throughout the US and Canada. Everyone was impressed with the level of service, the wonderful food, and the flawless timing. Many came to New Orleans for the first time, and the impression they left with about our city was wonderful.
Laura and Rylan were always available, answered our questions, and gave us some wonderful advice gathered through experience. Latrobe’s was a hit, and our daughter’s wedding was just as she imagined.

I came here last night for a friend’s wedding reception, and I must say that it was an absolute perfect venue to have such an event at. It has the old New Orleans charm that gives it a very romantic vibe, perfect for a wedding. The architecture and décor on the inside only adds to its ambience. Only negative thing I’ll say is that the floor is uneven (like big cobblestone blocks) so it’s difficult to walk in heels, but hey, that’s New Orleans for you!

11÷17÷12, the day that I married the woman of my dreams. The second most beautiful thing that day was LaTrobes. I cannot say enough about the venue, staff, food and overall experience we had. Every guest we had said it was the most elegant, most beutiful, most delicious, most well put together wedding they’ve been to. We were treated like gold as were our guests, and at the end of the day we plan on doing our 10 year anniversary here (really any excuse to have another event will do :-)
Thank you LaTrobes for the most memorable event of our lifetimes!

What a breathtaking venue for any fancy event. The historic architecture will wow you as you wander from room to room, and you’ll forget you’re in the center of a bustling city once you step into this castle-​esque scene. It’s a perfect intimate location for any high end affair. Awe had such a fantastic wedding party experience here dancing and dining under the chandeliers!

I just had a wedding/​reception here and I can not agree more with everything said about the venue and the food. Such a wonderful location in the french quarter and the décor was exactly what we were looking for. It was a beautiful place for our day and I can not say enough about the food. Well maybe I can say more about the food. It is hands down fantastic. Shrimp n Grits are one of the best things I have ever eaten. Every appetizer that we tasted and had at our reception was out of this world good. Top notch!!!
So you wonder «why only 3 stars?» Two words.. . customer service. As you may know, weddings/​receptions tend to cost a lot of money. I could be wrong but I was expecting a service level equivalent to the price of the event. This place does a lot of events so I can understand slow responses to questions a month or two before the event. What I can’t comprehend is not responding to emails in this day and age for over a week and a half. Even more so its baffling that we sent several emails 2 – 2 ½ weeks before or reception date to ask for a final price and do some last minute costing of extra services. It took OVER A WEEK to get a response. Latrobe’s responded by saying there was construction in the quarter and it was causing internet problems. REALLY!!! Even if this is true, A business like this without the ability to get emails on a phone? That is a concern to me.
Next they finally sent us an estimate of the final bill which included an additional $ 4,500 «mistake.» They double counted the rental fee in the per guest price and as an additional charge on top. Taken alone, honest mistake. After not receiving emails for a week and half and now 6 days from the event, this pissed me off.
Lastly, we included in our contract «special» drinks for the bride and groom. A personal stash if you will. Latrobe’s completely dropped the ball on this and when I finally had the chance to go the bar and complain, I was told it was «my problem» even though it was clearly written into the contract that I had with Latrobe’s. They did upgrade the bar for the rest of the night so no harm no foul here.
But overall, Latrobe’s just misses the point. Planning weddings can be stressful on folks. What makes them less stressful is communication between everyone involved. Please Latrobe’s, you have a great venue and amazing food, just pick up a phone or answer an email within a reasonable amount of time.
And if you are wondering, knowing beforehand about the communication issues, I would have still booked this place for the wedding/​reception.

Latrobe’s is strictly special events. It’s not a regular sit down restaurant, but if you ever have the joy to experience Latrobe’s cuisine, you’ll be eating one of the best meals of your life!!! Attended my cousin’s wedding and the food was amazing!!! Some of my favorites was the shrimp and grits, the pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes, crab cakes… I could go on and on. If you are looking for an event location with amazing food in a historical landmark in the heart of the French Quarter then look no further! P. S. park at the Royal Sonesta across the street from the entrance since there is no parking or valet at Latrobe’s.

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 décor 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!

Awestruck. That was me when I walked into Latrobe’s on Friday night to attend my good friend Meg’s wedding and reception. Nestled in the French Quarter, this place has history, elegance and a unique beauty all it’s own. It was an amazing location for an intimate wedding, and it was obvious from beginning to end that the staff knew what they were doing — from the professional service, to the excellent food, and the fantastic performance from the live band playing all night long (of course, my friend and her new husband obviously had good taste, thus the reason everything was so fabulous).
The architecture of this building alone will have you agape as you wander through the various rooms, nooks and crannies that make up this magnificent gem. Simply lovely — a memorable experience for sure.
