During the late 1800s and early 1900s, this Masonic hall was used for a variety of social events including dances, some of which featured ragtime and jazz musicians. The lodge was a prominent white Creole association that was established at this location in 1794. Among its members was W.C.C. Claiborne, who served as Louisiana's first governor. The first floor was used for public gatherings, while the second floor was reserved for private lodge functions. Rituals were performed in French until the 1950s, when the language was switched to English. The building is an impressive example of the Greek Revival style; it has three bays and two stories and was built around the year 1840. Both the building and the cast iron gate along Rampart Street, which was constructed in the 1880s, are decorated with Masonic symbols. Today, guests continue to stay at the lodge. The Lodge has a rich history that makes its interior shine with one-of-a-kind details that cannot be found in any other venue that is available for rental. This expansive and historically significant property was founded in 1794 and chartered by the Grand Lodge of Louisiana in 1812, the same year that the state of Louisiana was admitted to the Union. If the exterior space is used, the property can accommodate as many as 300 people.

Le Musée, the Greek Revival residence at 2336 Esplanade Avenue, and its vicinity, centered in the area known as upper Treme, were originally part of the plantation of Domingo Fleitas. Fleitas, a Spanish colonial who had fought with Galvez in the American Revolution, had grandchildren born free people of color. This stretch of Esplanade Avenue, mid-way between the Mississippi River and Bayou St. John, was not developed until the 1850s when Benjamin Rodriguez, a Jewish speculator who also owned the Esplanade omnibus, began acquiring lots in the area. Rodriguez first built his home at 2306 Esplanade, where the Musson family later lived for a period of time and their cousin Edgar Degas, the acclaimed French artist, visited. In 1859, Rodriguez contracted with Joseph Jouet, the same builder who constructed the famed French Hospital, to build the house at 2336. Though this residence was never owned by persons of color until its present ones, because of their dominance in the building trades, it can be assumed that they participated in the construction. Esplanade Avenue has always been noted for its gracious homes and abundant greenery. Little known is that free people of color owned numerous properties along the avenue and its intersecting streets in the antebellum period

When the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) opened its doors for the first time on December 16, 1911, it included only nine pieces of art. It is the city's oldest fine arts institution. The museum now boasts a remarkable permanent collection of more than 40,000 pieces, making it one of the largest in the world. As the collection continues to grow and expand, it will surpass all expectations as one of the most important art museums in the South. It is known for its outstanding strengths in French and American art, photography, glass, African and Japanese works, and continues to expand and grow. The twelve-acre Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden at NOMA is one of the most significant sculpture installations in the United States, with over 90 sculptures set among meandering footpaths, reflecting lagoons, Spanish moss-laden 200-year-old live oaks, mature pines, magnolias, camellias, and pedestrian bridges. The sculpture garden is one of the most important sculpture installations in the United States, with over 90 sculptures set among meandering footpaths, PURPOSE: We hope to inspire and celebrate people's appreciation of art. MISSION We are dedicated to the preservation, presentation, and enrichment of our collections and internationally recognized sculpture garden; providing innovative learning and interpreting experiences; and unifying, motivating, and engaging people from all walks of life and backgrounds. It is anticipated that VISION NOMA will serve as a focal point for the arts in New Orleans, as well as an iconic presence synonymous with the city and as the premier cultural institution in the Gulf South, when completed. DIVERSITY, EQUALITY, AND INCLUSION ARE KEY VALUES. An inclusive and equitable workplace, according to NOMA, is one in which all employees, regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, national origin (age), sexual orientation or identity (including gender expression), handicap, or educational background, feel appreciated and respected. Diversity in life experiences and history is respected and treasured; we strive to ensure that all voices are acknowledged and heard, as well as to develop a culture of open-mindedness, inclusivity, and compassion among our employees.

The Peristyle was actually constructed specifically for gatherings with dancing. This neo-classical open-air pavilion with a colonnade was designed by Paul Andry in 1907, and it has since undergone various renovations, the most recent of which was completed in 2012, thanks to a generous donation from Mea and Vincent Saia in 1989. One of the most well-liked locations for wedding ceremonies and wedding photography in the park is the Peristyle, which has a view of the lovely Bayou Metairie. Additionally, the location is excellent for picnics and business gatherings like conventions and themed parties. Residents of the area and visitors from across the world have had access to a wealth of natural and cultural resources for more than 170 years thanks to New Orleans City Park. The Park is home to the Louisiana Children's Museum, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Couturie Forest and Arboretum, the New Orleans Botanical Garden, and the biggest grove of mature live oaks in the world, some of which are about 800 years old.

Whitehall Plantation, which was established in 1857 for Francois Pascalis de la Barre and his family and operated as a sugar plantation until 1891, was the first of its kind in the United States. At the time, the plantation encompassed 8,000 acres that stretched from the Mississippi River to Lake Pontchartrain in southern Louisiana. According to historical records, life at Whitehall Plantation was filled with joy and celebration. Other plantation owners, their families, and friends were invited to enjoy Christmas Eve on the plantation, which made for a particularly joyous holiday season in general. The women donned their old-fashioned dresses and danced to Chopin's Minuet in G and Strauss' Vienna Woods with the males of their choosing to the tunes of Chopin's Minuet and Strauss' Vienna Woods. Because of its near proximity to New Orleans and its link to a dirt road known as Labarre Road, the property was chosen to serve as the headquarters for Union General Morgan during the Civil War. The grounds were transformed into a gambling casino in 1919, with dancing to the sounds of well-known orchestras taking place on the premises. A magnificent restaurant had been added to the manor's offerings. The meals were exquisite, the music was excellent, and, if Lady Luck was on your side, your travel back home was enjoyable as well. Magnolia Community Services now has access to Whitehall Plantation's gorgeous scenery, which is maintained by the plantation. Magnolia School, founded in 1935 by Dr. Charles Bloom, was born out of a need for specialized instruction for children and adolescents who were experiencing intellectual and developmental issues. Dr. Charles Bloom wanted to provide for his son, but he quickly learned that there were little resources available to satisfy his son's demands. As a result, Dr. Charles Bloom organized a group of businesspeople to hunt for land on which to build a school for his son. The Magnolia School was founded by private contributions and now runs as a private 501 c3 non-profit organization in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. With the knowledge that a portion of the rental price for Whitehall Plantation is donated to this deserving organization, you can feel good about yourself. We will work with you to create a wedding experience that is as special as your love for one another. For years to come, a Whitehall Plantation wedding will be remembered not just for the scenic settings, which include moss-hung oak trees and the grand staircase entry to the magnificent home, but also for the flavor, flair and attention to detail that we put into each and every event.

Watching friends and family members enjoy themselves is one of our favorite things. We are looking forward to collaborating with you to plan the wedding of your dreams! We will be there with you every step of the way, from menu options and décor to all of the small things. The Alexander Room and Terrace, which is tucked away in the heart of Metairie, is a true jewel. The International Brotherhood of Electricians (IBE) thought of and built the Alexander Room in 1984. The Alexander Room was designed to be a contender among Metairie's event spaces, and that was the goal from the outset of construction. The room was never advertised to the general public as a result of unforeseeable events. The Alexander Room was approached in 2014 with the aim of enlisting the help of Troy and Cindy Timphony of Hobnobber Café to take over the food, administration, and marketing of the space. As time went on, renovations were made, menus were created, and the website and social media platforms were established, resulting in the polished jewel that is The Alexander Room and Terrace. The Alexander Room has an inside size of 5000 square feet and a terrace with an additional 4000 square feet of space on the second level. Thanks to the recent addition of our outdoor speakers and festoon lights, you'll be able to dance under the stars without losing a beat. It is not permitted to bring in outside catering Every dish and beverage will be provided by Hobnobber Café. No food or beverage will be permitted to be brought in by an external catering company. Every dish and beverage is served buffet style on quality white and silver plastic plates with heavy weight silver plastic cutlery.
