About

Tucked away behind the iconic Pontchartrain Hotel, an unassuming garage door gives way to the dazzling interior of The Parlor.

The Parlor at the Pontchartrain features a historic industrial shell and glamorous details, making it the ideal event venue for weddings, parties and grand events of all kinds - because we don’t need a reason to celebrate in New Orleans.

A black and white bengal striped awning beckons to all who near the event space. Inside, you will find a 2,790-foot venue with historic brick walls, muted concrete floors, and French toile wallpaper, all illuminated by a spine of crystal chandeliers suspended from the peak of the vaulted ceiling.

The guests at your wedding or event will delight in custom food and beverage offerings provided by the award-winning Jack Rose Restaurant.

Usher in new seasons of life; celebrate wedding vows; and simply enjoy one another’s company at The Parlor at the Pontchartrain. We can’t wait to host your krewe!

Impressive venue with everything included!

We love The Parlor! We held our wedding reception here and could not have been happier with how it turned out. This venue is a special place that has so much character and provides a fun but classy Nola vibe. The star of the show was the venue's director, Ruby - who made everything from planning to post-event an absolute breeze! She was a joy to work with, extremely experienced and professional, and guided us through all the steps of making this event happen with ease. On the day of our event, I didn't have to worry about anything as it was all in the hands of their fabulous manager Erin. Working with these two was such a highlight of our experience, made only better by the amazing food from Jack Rose (guests were raving for weeks!), beautiful backdrop (chandeliers and floral mural!), and flexibility with layout, vendors, etc. They made us feel so special and helped execute a truly flawless and epic party. Thank you Erin and Ruby, and the whole team! PS - we sourced all our vendors from Ruby's recommendations and they were also all amazing.

Best reception venue!

Hosting our wedding reception at the Parlor was the best choice we could have made. Working with Ruby was a dream - she was so kind, thorough, and responsive - from day one of reaching out through the end of the reception she made sure everything was seamless and beautiful! Ruby, Brittany, and the entire team at the Parlor and Jack Rose/Hot Tin were wonderful and truly made us and our guests feel so special. They set us up to enjoy dinner with our bridal party before entering the reception, and I'm so glad we had that time to catch our breath and enjoy the delicious food and cocktails. We are so happy with how everything turned out and keep getting compliments on having the best food. Also, the cake and dessert display were more than we could have hoped for, the pastry chef outdid herself and delivered on all our favorite desserts and the most beautiful pistachio cake for us to cut. The service, quality, and value were all outstanding.
