crown jewel of New Orleans wedding venues
Race & Religious is, without question, the crown jewel of New Orleans wedding venues. This historic 1830s property masterfully combines antique architectural charm with modern elegance. Working with Jill and Keri is an absolute dream - their flexibility and dedication to creating perfect events shine through in every interaction. They truly understand how to make each celebration unique and memorable. The venue itself is a photographer's paradise, with its weathered brick walls, traditional gas lanterns, and that iconic plunge pool that creates magical moments at every event. The multiple buildings and courtyards allow for an incredible flow throughout the evening, from an intimate ceremony to a lively reception. What sets Race & Religious apart is not just its stunning aesthetics, but the way Jill and Keri work tirelessly to accommodate each couple's vision. Whether it's coordinating with vendors, suggesting creative space layouts, or working through last-minute changes, their expertise and can-do attitude make the planning process seamless. For couples seeking an authentically New Orleans experience that their guests will talk about for years to come, Race & Religious delivers beyond expectation. It's no wonder this Lower Garden District gem has become synonymous with sophisticated New Orleans celebrations
