Felicity Reviews

Every little detail of Felicity Church is absolutely gorgeous. I fell in love at first sight. The owner, Chris, was wonderful to work with. He gave us a tour of the venue, told us the beautiful history and was readily available to answer any questions we had throughout the wedding planning process. He really helped guide us in the right direction in many aspects to help us have a perfect day.

Awesome venue! Chris made everything stress free! The Church is so beautiful and has so much character, making your decorating budget a lot smaller! Everything was perfect!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Felicity Church and Chris Jones. We looked at other venues, but the minute I walked into Felicity Church, I was ready to book it on the spot. The rustic charm and beautiful stained glass set it apart from other NOLA wedding spots, and the fact that we could have our wedding AND reception there made it so easy. (We had the ceremony upstairs, went downstairs for a cocktail hour, and went back upstairs after it was "flipped" for the reception!) Chris was extremely helpful and a wonderful resource - he recommended floor plans, helped the day run smoothly from behind the scenes, and was even greeting guests as they came into the church. One of the best things about this venue is that it doesn't require lots of decor - we had minimal flowers and small votive candles and it still looked amazing! Our wedding guests are still commenting on how beautiful our venue was. It was the perfect setting for our perfect day!!

Felicity Church is the most amazing venue for a wedding and Chris is wonderful to work with. We had the wedding upstairs, second-lined out of the ceremony and around the block to return to the cocktail hour downstairs while the upstairs was being flipped for the reception to follow the cocktail hour. The most wonderful thing about Felicity Church (aside from it’s amazing architecture), is that you get to make your wedding and reception your own. Unlike many venues, you get to choose your own vendors, which allowed us (with the help of Katherine at My House Social) to create a perfect menu unique to us with a New Orleans’ flair. Most other venues require that you use their caterer and other vendors. With Felicity Church, you can choose your own and create your own unique event. Pictures of this venue are amazing, but the venue itself is even more beautiful and the atmosphere created is beyond description. My daughter’s wedding and reception is an event that none of us will ever forget, and it is due in large part to Chris and this unbelievable venue.

Felicity Church is perfection. It is the most beautiful venue inside and out. The minute you walk up the street, you see this stunning building and the quaint courtyard. The downstairs is modernized with hanging light bulbs, but the original architecture was kept to make you feel the history. I would have booked this venue on the stairs alone because you can see the history, and they are absolutely beautiful and unique. The pews in the sanctuary are originals, and the sanctuary has these high ceilings with the original beams and huge windows. We decided to have our ceremony and reception at Felicity as this was a destination wedding for us, and we knew Chris (owner) would help make our dreams a reality. We had the ceremony with the gorgeous pews upstairs, then we had a Second Line to the downstairs and courtyard while the room got flipped, and we came back upstairs for the reception. Chris was one of the best resources for our wedding in so many ways. He helped plan, try out different and unique floor plans, work with our vendors and give them venue tours… he truly worked with us on every level and was so professional but also extremely kind. On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly thanks to him, and I have never met someone so organized and thorough. I’m so glad I trusted my wedding to him and Felicity. We had so many friends and family coming up to us and commenting on the venue and asking how we found it. The fact that the room was flipped in one hour on the dot from a ceremony to a stunning reception for 150 people, blew our guests out of the water. Chris managed transforming the space and had the amazing tables and pews for us to reuse which gave us a huge savings with rentals. This was such a unique layout, and having our vows said on the stage and then the band perform on it was so visually appealing. Felicity was the best decision we made, and Felicity will always be part of our hearts!
