    I am so excited to write this review for the Royal Frenchmen Hotel and Bar Team. We live in Maryland, and while I have family who is local to NOLA, we were taking a chance on a venue we had never visited. But, even working with Chloe before our contract was signed, I felt confident that all of my questions were getting answered, and that even the questions I hadn’t thought to ask, would still be taken care of. And I was right. We worked with their team from June 2023 to our wedding weekend August 2024 and Chloe and I slowly worked through every possible detail before we arrived. We got to visit the venue in January and they were such gracious hosts to us and my family. We even got to meet more of the team, all just as warm and kind. During our visit they treated us to a bar tasting to curate our menu with their award winning bar tenders, as well as had our caterers come in to customize our menu. And the food, was of course New Orleans level taste and quality. DELICIOUS. We were huge fans of all the vendors they suggested, from the band, to the bakeries for our cake, to the amazing photographer and videographer skills you see in the photos attached. They prioritized our needs, and always listened to what we requested, while also providing expert guidance when we weren’t sure what was the best plan. Even in the middle of the thunderstorms that arrived the week leading up to our day, they ensured our plan was in tact with a tent that was so beautifully decorated I couldn’t believe it wasn’t part of the original layout. As our guests arrived to stay for the weekend, and filed in on Saturday for the wedding, we continued to receive such beautiful feedback on how attentive they were to guests before, during, and after the wedding. We plan to continue to be visitors of this awesome hotel and bar to reminisce our magical day, but I want to make sure other couples get the chance to experience the care, warmth, and amazing service provided by the Royal Frenchmen team for their special day.

    Our wedding at The Royal Frenchmen Hotel was beyond perfect. We fell in love with the venue the first time we visited. It was an ideal venue for our wedding: fun vibe, unique, and with a lot of personalities. RFM team was incredible, creative, and super friendly, yet very professional. Joshua was super crafty with his unique cocktails creation that suited our preference; he also put a lot of artistic vision into them, which we really appreciated. During the planning process, the communication was clear, and they were fun to work with, which made wedding planning a whole lot easier! Chloe and Nina went above and beyond to make sure that everything went smoothly. Their assistance saved us a lot of headaches and we could not ask for anything better. It became clear that the vibe was not just a client-vendor relationship; we've made new friends! It was the best night of our lives, and we would not have it any other way.

  • WONDERFUL!

    What a great experience. I would have it no other way. I could not believe what work horses everyone was. They had it together like you wouldn’t believe. My wedding was perfect and it is totally because of my friends at The Royal Frenchmen. Love y’all!
