From the reviews

I am a local New Orleans wedding photographer. We just recently shot this wedding at Margaret Place. It is the perfect place to have your wedding in New Orleans! Not only is the venue gorgeous and one of a kind but the staff there treats everyone right!

★★★★★ — Sarah, Apr 2024

Wow. I have so many good things to say about this place. We quickly chose to have our wedding at MP for many reasons: the gorgeous courtyard, transparent pricing/calendaring, and the honest owners. We really felt like we got everything on our checklist by choosing Margaret Place!

★★★★★ — Casey, Dec 2024

BOOK THIS VENUE!! I don't have the words to describe how grateful I was for the team at Margaret Place! They made our wedding day a dream come true. From the very first meeting with Kathleen and Trenton, we felt at home. We knew they were giving us permission to have our wedding day OUR WAY...

★★★★★ — Devin, Nov 2025

Choosing Margaret Place was the single best decision we made for our wedding. We'd considered a few French Quarter restaurants, but my husband fell for this space because of how invested the team was in making the day ours.

Getting married at Margaret Place

Margaret Place comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at Margaret Place

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Margaret Place — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
