About

On WeddingWire since 2011

Located in Destrehan, Louisiana, Ormond Manor Restaurant is a venue, welcoming ceremonies and receptions, rehearsals and dinners, showers, bridal luncheons, and special occasions. An intimate elopement or a grand gala, we welcome the union of love at Ormond Manor. Ormond is conveniently located just minutes away from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and a short 25-minute drive from downtown New Orleans. The manor house was first built shortly before 1790 and has been extensively remodeled over the years. The main house is flanked by the newer addition of garconnieres, or wings, located on either side. The property is currently owned by a a wonderful life-long St. Charles Parish family.

Ormond can accommodate celebrations of up to 300 guests and has a range of spaces across the Manor, including the Carriage House, and the Grand Ballroom. The entrance to the estate is shadowed by the stately oaks that line the drive and grounds. Couples can say their vows in the courtyard or under these majestic oaks in various locations on the grounds, then dance the night away in the ballroom. There are five guest suites available in the venue’s bed and breakfast for those who wish to stay overnight. Ceremonies held here grant the couple access to a quaint, complimentary room for pre-wedding preparations, as well as space for a rehearsal. The house can be made available for wedding portraits and photos.

Our daughters wedding & reception was held at Ormond Plantation. It was more then we could hope for! As we were lining up, it started raining. We were giving the option to move the ceremony or to wait a few minutes for the rain to stop. As soon as it stopped raining, the staff dried all chairs and the ceremony started. Everything was great! Our family stayed at the Plantation & Cheif Richard prepared breakfast. Thank You to Robin, Peggy & Cheif Richard as well as the entire staff that made this possible.

My husband and I got married here 2 months ago today! Ceremony and reception were absolutely beautiful. We also did our engagement photos and post-bridal photos at this beautiful plantation! Would recommend to anyone! Food was delicious and was served until the very end of my reception. The staff was great and very responsive to not only mine and my husbands needs but also to all of our guests! I just wish that I would have spent even more time here!

My husband and I held our ceremony and reception at Ormond Plantation and it was absolutely fabulous! Mrs. Robin Priest, Chef Richard Kiral and staff were amazing, paying attention to every detail, quality food and service, and most importantly, that wonderful Southern hospitality. In choosing a venue, my fiance and his family were from up North and being that I was born and raised in the area, I wanted something that would impress us locals, as well as, really be intriguing, historical, and beautiful to our guests. All in attendance, both local and visitors commented so positively on the venue, food, and service. Everyone enjoyed every aspect from our event and I could not have asked for a better wedding! Cheers to Ormond Plantation in being everything I imagined and more! THANK YOU!

Love,

Ashlyn & Taylor Mehlhaff
