Your Boutique Wedding Venue in New Orleans’ Tremé Neighborhood

Picture saying your vows on a rooftop as the sun drops behind the New Orleans skyline, then following a brass band downstairs to a reception in a building with more than a century of history behind it. Inn at the Old Jail is a boutique wedding venue in New Orleans which uses its size and layout to create a unique experience: bride & groom take over the whole property for 1-3 nights, to use as both event venue and for overnight stays with select family & friends in their very special Wedding Headquarters.

Within this masterfully restored 1902 federal historic landmark in Tremé, the buyout includes indoor and outdoor event space plus nine guest suites, so your wedding weekend doesn’t end when the reception does. It’s why couples looking for a wedding venue with on-site accommodations in New Orleans keep landing here.

The Venue’s Many Perks

Your ceremony and reception can move across three distinct settings without leaving the property. A 2,500-square-foot rooftop deck offers skyline views for cocktail hour, making this one of the more spacious rooftop wedding venues in New Orleans, with room for a full band and a dance floor. A second shaded courtyard offers a quieter setting for dinner or a daytime ceremony, and an indoor grand piano lounge is available if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Between the three, you can plan a full day of events without booking a second location.

Stay Together On Site

The Old Jail’s unique offering allows for bride & groom to select their closest family members, friends, and/or wedding party to occupy the nine ensuite guest rooms for overnight stays.  You’ll love having your wedding party, parents, and favorite out-of-town guests can stay on-site with you, a setup that puts this among the few wedding venues in New Orleans with lodging included in the buyout.  Your guests will undoubtedly love this, and it provides the option to subsidize some of the buyout fee.

One day or a full weekend

It Works for However You're Celebrating

The property books three ways: a single day, a two-night stay, or a full three-day weekend. That range works for an elopement venue in New Orleans if you want a small, private ceremony with a handful of guests, a long-weekend experience with rehearsal + ceremony + reception + send-off brunch all on-site, and anything in-between.  We’ve hosted everything from 300-headcount multi-day parties to micro weddings with 20 attendees.
