Sitting on historic Esplanade Avenue on the edge of the French Quarter, the Melrose Mansion is the perfect setting for your New Orleans wedding. Our newly renovated luxury hotel is ideal for intimate weddings to be held inside the beautifully decorated Victorian mansion or poolside in our lush courtyard.
Our front indoor parlor can comfortably accommodate a maximum of 50 chairs for a ceremony and the poolside area can accommodate up to 65 chairs. The combined spaces have the ability to transition into a reception venue for up to 120 guests, perfectly timed for the return of your second line down the famous Esplanade Avenue!
Elopement ceremonies are available for parties under 20 guests and Intimate Weddings for parties under 40 guests. A full rental of the property is not necessary for weddings of this size, yet the spaces used will not be private.
For larger weddings and/or receptions up to 120 guests, a 14 room rental is required.
The parlor in the front of the house features beautiful floor to ceiling windows overlooking Esplanade Avenue as well as our porch leading out to our poolside courtyard area. A black granite fireplace compliments both the dark hardwood floors and white walls and their original crown molding. Walk onto our poolside porch and take in the grey-blue slate stones, hand-painted Italian marble pool surround, copper fountains, and tailored greenery. As the evening approaches, one can only imagine the spectacular view of the white house with the pool lights reflecting off of the crystal blue waters.
