The Report

This former two-story bank building is right in the heart of the French Quarter, but off the beaten path enough so you don’t get the crazies on Bourbon Street. The exterior of the building is quintessential New Orleans, complete with a wrought-iron balcony and gas lanterns. Latrobe’s on Royal is on the building’s first floor and has been refurbished so it feels modern yet still maintains it’s old-world charm, making it the perfect setting (the Carried Underwood video, Cowboy Casanova, was filmed there). Two large, distinct rooms allow you to have both a ceremony and reception easily in the same location, with a smaller “bar” area and foyer in between. There is no outside space, but the ceilings are tall and the space feels open. Bathrooms are in great condition, and contain several stalls for females. The menu is diverse and customizable, and the chef is Cordon Bleu trained.

Woman Getting Married Says

If you’re going to have a destination wedding in a city like New Orleans, your guests should feel as if they’re in a unique part of the city’s history…and this venue definitely captures that. The location was perfect…guests could stay at the Royal Sonesta one block away, or another hotel in the French Quarter and be within short walking distance. The menu options were delicious (citrus smoke salmon with lemon crème fraiche, anyone?) and are customizable to suit your party…meaning if you wanted famous New Orleans beignets passed around for dessert, you could.

I’m a liquor snob, and the brands they choose for their various bar levels, such as Woodford Reserve bourbon and Grey Goose vodka, are definitely up to par. All in all, I think this venue offers a great value for food, bar, location, and decor.
