A French Landmark. The Edgar Degas House Museum
The World Renowned Degas House in New Orleans, LA, is a beautiful indoor-outdoor wedding venue that masterfully blends history with art and hospitality. This charming property is located on Esplanade Avenue, one of the quietest and most aesthetically pleasing streets in the city. Elegant and refined, it offers a one-of-a-kind setting to tie the knot The French impressionist master, Edgar Degas, resided in The World Renowned Degas House from 1872-1873. Here, he created over 18 paintings, 4 drawings, and 5 letters that altered our understanding of art. It is a world-class venue, recently awarded the prestigious title of Maisons des Illustres "House of the Illustrious" by the French Ministry of Culture. This title is given sparingly to the most distinguished houses around the world, with the intention of preserving their political, cultural, social, and historical significance. Some of the other houses that share this title are associated with names such as Monet, Napoleon, Cartier, Yves Saint Laurent, and Jeanne d'Arc. With only one other property in the US holding this prestigious title, the house demands the highest quality of maintenance and customer service, which the staff takes great pride in delivering. Ceremonies are hosted in their French Quarter-style courtyard, beautifully paved and adorned with twinkling market lights. Here you can exchange vows before a ceremony arch decorated with a personal touch. For your reception, you can join over 300 guests in their Victorian parlors for an evening of dining and entertainment. These opulent spaces are exquisitely furnished with period-style furniture and Degas replicas. After a full day of making magical memories, you can retire to their luxurious accommodation suites to relax and recharge.

First, the GOOD: MISS SHARON! She gets 5 enthusiastic stars. She is an incredible chef. The food was absolutely delicious! I am a New Orleans local with Cajun blood and the food was approved by ALL including all the mommas and aunts. She looked out for us the day of the wedding. Made sure we got to eat! She runs this place like it's her own. It should be. This is a very charming setting for a day or night wedding. Great New Orleans feel for both locals and visitors. Very photogenic (when the lightbulbs aren't burnt, see below). The reception has a lot of their own chairs, tables, linens etc.. which is nice to not have to rent on your own. Otherwise it's really just a space. Now the BAD: I went through THREE different venue coordinators and finally ended up with Kathy who needs to go back to Hospitality school. She made me feel like I was part of the problem and she was truly the worst thing about my entire wedding planning process. It was my FIRST wedding. But not hers. The venue is a courtyard in between 2 old buildings with string lights. Several of the bulbs were burnt on my wedding night, which I was assured would be fixed prior to the day. And now it's in the pictures. Their outside heaters apparently weren't stored properly so they didn't have outdoor heaters for a November wedding. We had to scramble to buy lots of heaters. Please note that there is a very strict noise ordinance in the area. The volume that the music has to stay at past 9pm was laughable. Might as well just turn it off. We're in our late 30s, early 40s. We don't need a rave.

We loved Degas House! It was the perfect elegant, historic, garden party-esque, New Orleans-y venue. It fit our ~130 guests very well and they set up the ceremony and then flipped the space for cocktails and the reception flawlessly. The food was truly amazing and delicious and the dressing of the bride package was lovely and made our day of getting ready and spending time together so easy and effortless. All the staff were kind and invested in our event. David even videotaped some key events and sent them to us so we wouldn't miss some of those special moments. We appreciate all of the effort, thought, and professionalism that went into hosting a perfect event and can't wait to come back and stay at Degas House as guests!

We absolutely loved the Degas House! Sharon's food was absolutely fantastic!!! Many of our guests complimented the food. We did the dressing of the bride which was a lot of fun. We did have a leaky roof (which is to be expected from a very old house), but they quickly repaired it. The staff was very attentive and helped our reception run smoothly.We chose 4/5 stars mostly because the communication could have been better. Many times they would get details wrong like number of guests or if we were doing both the reception and ceremony there. They were also late bringing breakfast up for Dressing of the Bride so we had to eat while our makeup team was getting us ready. Wasn't a big deal, just inconvenient. They also ensured they would have heaters if it was cold. When we asked to use them, they only had 3 heaters for 185 people... so we had to rent more last minute. Overall, we would definitely recommend Degas House!

It was such a wonderful experience. We even had bad weather and that was the lay thing anyone let me worry about. I went outside and tents were up, seats were arranged so none our guests got wet. The staff was very kind to myself and all of our guests. I will always recommend Degas House to any bride to be. Thank you everyone at Degas for everything y’all did to make my day as special and perfect as it was ❤️

Degas House, was not only the best venue for our wedding but the only venue for our wedding. To say that the venue was beautiful, that the team working there was professional and lovely, and that the greenery and decor were perfect, all would be an understatement. A special thank you to Ms. Sharon who went above and beyond to ensure that my groom's dietary needs were taken care of, that we took home food and wine, and that I didn't forget my bridal bouquet after the wedding! When I look back at our wedding photos, I know that our wedding day was perfect, in no small part because we had our special day at Degas House. The team that works there, made sure that we had everything we needed and ensured that our wedding day was fun, easy, and full of love. I would recommend Degas House to anyone looking to get married surrounded by art, culture, love and professionalism.

The Degas House was the perfect venue for my wife and I to get married. We had a small wedding (60 people), with mostly close family and friends, and the courtyard was magical for the ceremony. We didn't even bother with arranging for decorations because the venue was perfect as is. We didn't have a wedding party, so we both stayed in the main suite and had friends and family stay on the property with us. Would highly recommend! The last thing I'll mention is the staff. Kathy helped us plan the wedding and answered all our questions along the way. The event staff at Degas House were so nice and helpful in taking care of the fine details. 5/5

The home and furnishings were exquisite. The Estelle Room was so beautiful and made their wedding day and evening very special. There was plenty of room for the bridesmaids to dress. The groom and his groomsmen stayed in a beautiful 18th century furnished parlor. The courtyard was so beautiful.I worked closely with Kalin, she helped with every small detail and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect wedding. And the Food!! Many of our guest said the food was the best food they ever had at a wedding. Cajun/Louisiana dishes and the Pork Roast was the best I've every eaten. Ms Sharon and her staff even made fried chicken and fries for the kids before the wedding. Our every need was taken care of. And then, there was Ms Elaine, the personal attendant, she made sure we had plenty of champagne and finger foods before the wedding. Everything was Perfect!!! Thank you!!!

Words cannot fully express my love and gratitude for the exceptional team at the Degas House. They are true pros who know how to put together a wedding like the backs of their hands. From the beginning, communication was thorough and prompt. We had to plan our entire event remotely due to COVID-19, and though we were a little hesitant to put down our deposit for this venue sight-unseen, I am so glad that we did, since it turned out to be everything we hoped and more. We had both our ceremony and reception here, and the flip between the two was seamless. I can't recommend the Dressing of the Bride package enough -- it was so great getting to have one last sleepover with my bridesmaids, and it made getting ready so much less stressful. I bragged to everyone about how no fuss the preparation was, since Degas House offers food and drink packages (and all my guests raved about how good the food was). In addition to all that, we always felt taken care of and looked after during our wedding. They made sure we had a moment together alone to eat before we went to greet our guests, they coordinated with and cued all of our vendors perfectly, and what's more they supplied us with a great list of folks they recommended, which made the remote planning about 100x easier.I would like to specifically thank Kathy and Sharon, the dynamic duo who made our Degas House wedding everything we dreamed and more.The venue itself is everything you would want for a NOLA wedding. It is historical, charming, and unique. If you want a cozy, classic, romantic wedding with a gorgeous outdoor courtyard that feels like you're in a garden, you can't do better than Degas House.

Ms. Kathy and Ms. Sharon were SO kind and flexible throughout our entire process, and were there every step of the way with me during last minute changes due to the pandemic.

The Degas House is perfect, because so many of the little details such as the food, chairs, wedding coordinator, etc. are already provided. Not to mention, in my biased opinion, it is the most beautiful venue in Nola!

3/14/2020. Where do I begin....The Degas House in itself is absolutely stunning, inside and outside. The grounds are well maintained and has such a natural beauty, there is not a huge demand for any more decorating. Then there is the staff. Everyone, from housekeeping, wedding planner, kitchen staff, the men that set up chairs and tables, the bartenders (fantastic lovely people), everyone helpful and professional. A shoutout to Ms. Sharon for always being positive and helpful - especially on the special day making sure we were hydrated and had everything we needed. A real special shoutout to Kaitlyn Ramsey the woman with all the hats - wedding coordinator, inn keeper, etc. She took charge, made sure things happened when they were supposed to happen, people were where they needed to be, coordinated with all of the vendors, made my life so easy!! I never saw her sweat - she handled all those things without losing her smile. She always answered the phone and always had time to talk. She gave me so much confidence weeks before the wedding that everything would be just wonderful. I love you Kaitlyn! And, the wedding was wonderful. We can’t wait for the pictures because they will show the happiness and joy of every single guest - and especially of the bride and groom.Robin Hatch - Hatch/Horn wedding 3/14/2020I would like to add that we used an outside caterer which proved to be a huge mistake. Wanted to include this in case someone makes a bad review because of the food. It wasn’t Degas House’s food. Big mistake on our part (sorry Ms. Sharon, and I say that with love)

Our wedding day was truly magical! The building its self is so beautifully preserved. The interior design of the house is timeless and true to the era the house was built. The neighborhood is absolutely charming. Esplanade Street made for a beautiful second line parade.We were blown away by the exceptional service provided by the staff at Degas House. Everyone was so accommodating. Kaitlyn was on top of everything. Answering every email, text, and phone call. She took care of so many details, and had my back when it came to my vision, and how I wanted the day to go. She helped make my dream wedding a reality, and doing so with a smile on her face the entire time. Chef Sharron is such a savory individual. She made us feel at home in every way! The food she prepared was absolutely delicious. Our guests raved about every dish. I always say “Love is in the details”, and I felt so much love and so taken care of by both of you, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I would 10 out of 10 recommend Degas House as your venue for your next event!

The place was fantastic, the food was excellent, the final coordinator was awesome. We really could not have asked for a better location and evening. There's only reason I give it 4 starts instead of 5 is the turnover in employees we experienced. We went through 3 coordinators, and our room was double booked. However, everything was handled properly and there ended up being no issues. Additionally, we were going to use the venue's stereo, but the night before the wedding we found out that the speaker was busted, luckily we had a friend. Finally, the food was AMAZING and the catering team are EXPERIENCED and EXCEPTIONAL. They have been around the block more than once.

My husband and I planned our New Orleans wedding at the Degas House from afar (from California!) and we had the most amazing day! Everything went smoothly - our wedding planner was able to easily work with the preferred vendors and their amazing day of coordinator Carmen (she was such a dream and completely accommodating for all of our out of town needs). We had 75 people attend the wedding and it was intimate and amazing. The food was PHENOMENAL - Ms. Sharon is truly the best chef and she made our day even more special by coordinating an impromptu sparkler processional at the end of the night which was so very special for our family and friends. We definitely recommend doing the Estelle suite package (so the bridal party can get ready on site and you and your spouse can stay at the property the night of the wedding!). The only thing we would have added was an extra hour or so to our package just so we do more dancing!! We had zero complaints the entire day - the full staff was generous, accommodating and so incredibly kind. The Degas House now holds such a special place in our hearts, we can't wait to visit in years to come and re-live our perfect day!

If you were going to book the Degas House , you could honestly book it for the food alone - it was SO good!! There were so many delicious options to choose from, we had such a hard time narrowing it down at our tasting! But everything was delicious and guests still are raving about it! It was super smooth coordinating with all vendors and they were very flexible with delivery times which made everything so easy. Any time I had a question or concern I was answered in a timely fashion! Thank you Degas House for making our day so special.

While in town planning our destination wedding, we visited this lovely venue and had a chance to talk to several of the employees who seemed very nice. However, once we started talking quotes and numbers, they stopped returning our phone calls and emails. Not sure if it was the fact that we were having less than 50 people at our wedding or their blasé attitude since they’re a non-profit and don’t really need the money. Either way, we were very disappointed with our interaction with them.

We had our beautiful, intimate wedding here in November 2017. We had about 115 people and probably could've accommodated another 10-15 (but more than that would've gotten too crowded.)Food: Ms. Sharon's New Orleans delicacies are hands-down amazing. The staff accommodated our request for special meat (halal) -- we told them about a local vendor and they were able to source from there directly. Our guests all raved about the food. Accommodation: We fit our sizable immediate families by booking all the rooms (minus maybe one). The staff was generous in that (and the breakfast again is amazing.) Facilities: The venue is very pretty. We were allowed to place our personal photos in frames around the inside of the house, creating an intimate feel. Some fixtures here and there were in need of repair (like some knobs and handles on the bathtub faucets; and the alarms kept going off in the night, so hopefully they've fixed that since then.)We had a second line that ran through the neighborhood and our guests loved it. The staff gave us advice on the route and how to obtain the city permit. Staff: The staff was helpful with some NOLA charm, especially June. During our planning, we did cycle cycle through three Degas House wedding planners. Hopefully, they've found someone who will stick. This caused some communication issues and inconsistencies, but come showtime things came together. Dishes: This was my biggest concern. We assumed we would be receiving the standard ceramic-type plates you get at hotels (or even a not-so-fancy buffet restaurant.) Instead, we saw our guests eating in tiny plastic-looking plates and bowls. Degas staff pointed out the contract said \"acrylic\" plates, but we didn't realize that would essentially mean heavy plastic ware. (Guests also complained that it was hard to get much on their plates.) To their credit, the staff remedied this issue later by dropping some fees. We'd just recommend clarifying what dishes you are getting. All in all, we had a very memorable and joyful wedding at Degas House. We hope they are working on restoration efforts to preserve this pretty venue.

Our guests told us it was a beautiful and intimate space to have a wedding and everyone LOVED the food (thanks Ms Sharon!). We chose the “Dressing of the Bride” package which really helped keep the day stress free. My bridesmaids and I got ready in two beautiful rooms in the house and were spoiled with breakfast, champagne and snacks! The Degas House did change event coordinators multiple times, but Jaynell was the final coordinator on our big day and was very helpful. She made sure we always had a drink in our hand and food at our table, and oversaw the setup and clean up of the event so we didn’t have to worry about it. I even lost a piece of wedding day jewelry and asked the Degas House staff on a whim if anyone had come across it - they had people search everywhere and found it!!! In all, they provided just what we wanted - a beautiful space for an courtyard wedding where we planned exactly what we wanted to happen and the staff executed those plans when the big day came around.

The venue and staff are remarkable. The Degas has so much romantic character in that it is historic and simply exquisitely beautiful. Located on a breathtaking street with huge old trees--it is everything that New Orleans represents, and authentically so. The Degas is a treasure tucked away for people to discover if they are lucky. The staff are all so kind, lovely and professional people, that we wanted to make sure we show our thanks and gratitude. Jenelle was AMAZING at organizing our wedding. She was always 2 steps ahead in ensuring we had everything and providing us with what we needed and or wanted. Jenelle was the pillar to this whole event and made it happen with grace and professionalism. She was so present and aware of what needed to be attended to and she made us all so happy. Words cant express how thankful I am to have met her. I call Jenelle my friend now and could not have felt more grateful for all that she did for us. ALSO--The food was out of this world delicious. The head chef, Ms. Sharon is wonderful. I absolutely loved her. She made all the dishes so great, I thought we were at a fine dining restaurant. My experience with wedding food in the past has never been anything but unappetizing and nothing to remark over---but at the Degas, it was home made, delicious and soulful. All of our guests were non stop raving about the food. I could go on and on but I just wanted to say how grateful both my husband and myself are to have had the unforgettable memory at the Degas to celebrate with all of our loved ones.

The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD, thanks to in-house chef, Mrs. Sharon. It was such a relief to have everything in the same place. We had a short and beautiful ceremony in the courtyard, and while we were doing a 2nd line around the area with our guests and a brass band, the Degas House staff flipped to courtyard into a GORGEOUS reception space, with all of my centerpieces and table pieces in the perfect spots. I highly recommend the Estelle package, because having the beautiful Estelle suite to get ready in with my girls was such an awesome experience.

My wife and I were married here earlier this year, and I could not be more relieved to say that everything went *perfectly*! The food was on point, the band seemed to have plenty of space to work in, and the coordinator kept us in the loop and worked very well with Beth's Flowers, our wedding planners. They even tolerated us renting out nearly every room for the weekend with our close friends and family, and that was also a big plus. Thank you guys for everything you did for us!

I was part of a wedding party that stayed here for a wedding in January. My friend woke up to her bag of medicine that had been eaten through by a mouse. We even saw the mouse in the corner of our room. We tried to put that past us and enjoy the day. The staff was attentive and helpful throughout the day, but the venue did not live up to the reviews. I understand it is a historical property, but the building itself needs a lot of work. As a lifer in hospitality, I was disappointed in the management response. They seemed to not care and shrugged it off as “New Orleans.” Yes, I live here and understand, but please- acknowledge that my party and I had an issue with the mouse. For what we paid, we at least should have gotten a few free bottles of water.

I had a wonderful time at a family Christmas party that was held at the Degas House. It was decorated beautifully for the occasion and the food and service were absolutely outstanding! There was an extremely gifted piano player, which was suggested by the venue, who played festive holiday music throughout the evening. The venue provided for an elegant evening of socializing around the large Christmas tree just inside the main entrance as well as enjoying the outside patio and the socializing under the lights in front of the fountain. It was defiantly a memorable evening for all in attendance.

I was married at the Degas House on Sunday 10/21/2108. I had an amazing experience with Jaynell Jeanfreau and the Degas house staff. Jaynell helped me plan my dream wedding all the way from California. We did it all thru phone and email. I met her only the day before my wedding day. She walked me thru ceremony and went over every last detail. I thought I’d be a nervous wreck since I hadn’t met her in person or seen the house only in pictures. She exceeded my expectations. She was so professional and had the same vision as me. My wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect. I had a carefree day and was able to enjoy every moment with my guest. The House was beautiful and well kept. I didn’t need any decorations . the art work was a wonderful addition for our photos. I would highly recommend The Degas House for your wedding or for a tour. Thanks to Jaynell and your fabulous team. You made all my dreams come true.

Our wedding at the Degas House in December 2017 was actually picture-perfect. It was exactly what my husband and I wanted. We could not have found a more beautiful, classic New Orleans venue, paired with amazing staff and incredible food and accommodations. If you're looking for old-world, subtle elegance and knowledgeable but down-to-earth staff, look no further.The atmosphere of the Degas House is classy without being flashy, or in your face. The natural beauty of the indoor and outdoor spaces speaks for itself. We were married outside in the courtyard at 10 am, and then had a seated indoor brunch for our small wedding of about 60 people. The staff worked with us to create the wedding we wanted, even though it didn't fit into their pre-set package. The staff was incredibly accommodating, generous, and kind. They seemed to genuinely care about our happiness and making our wedding special. Our wedding coordinator was spot-on in understanding what we wanted for the ceremony and reception, and was able to handle all of the small stuff on the morning of, so that I could relax and keep my mind on the important things. Our ceremony had a few complexities, but Kira was able to direct and cue everything perfectly, every time. The food prepared by Ms. Sharon at the Degas House is truly spectacular. I haven't had better food anywhere in New Orleans. The kitchen staff was completely willing to accommodate our guests' dietary needs, from nut and tomato allergies to veganism. After the wedding, we stayed overnight in the Estelle suite, a space so opulent you feel as if you've gone back in time. It was truly unforgettable. I am so grateful to everyone at the Degas House who made our wedding such a positive and stress-free experience. We knew we were in good hands, and so we were able to relax and just enjoy our special day.If an old, historic venue is your thing, or if you want a background for a \"fairy tale\" wedding, you can't do better than the Degas House. It is classic New Orleans, and just plain class.

Most recently the Bastille Day event was one of the best ever. I was once again overwhelmed by the cultural appeal, elegance and charm. The continuous professional of the staff and service is impeccable. The cuisine is some of the best in the city. Hats off again to Chef Sharon Parker. I highly recommend this event space to everyone!

I will say that planning our wedding at the Degas House was stressful, as we went through 3 wedding coordinators during the planning (the last one came in a week before our wedding and knew little of what we had planned). Thankfully, my husband and I are pretty flexible and cared more that our guests from near and far had a great experience. The wedding weekend itself was completely perfect and everything we wanted. Ms. Sharon in the kitchen is amazing. The staff took perfect care of us all night. It was an intimate and beautiful setting. The new coordinator Trevor ended up handling a family situation smoothly and gracefully. So all in all, the wedding itself was perfect!

Degas House did an great job with our wedding. There were some hiccups—after 2 decades of managing and planning weddings, their coordinator had to retire, and the Degas House went through some difficulties replacing her 3 times in the year we were working with them. So, keep detailed notes of all of your decisions. Jaynell took over for the stretch run, and she did an amazing job of accommodating our needs and handling last minute and “day of” issues as well as making sure all of the agreements we had with previous coordinators were taken care of..Also, keep in mind that these facilities are part of a historically significant building—don’t expect modern bathrooms, or tight fitting windows, but do expect to have a great time and enjoy a beautiful property. Everyone from the owner to the house staff was very accommodating and did their best to make us comfortable and ensure we had a great time.The food was amazing and the venue is beautiful. The staff is friendly and helpful, and overall they did a great job on our wedding.

My husband lives abroad and Jaynell, the coordinator, even took the time to FaceTime with him so he could be part of everything - it was extremely thoughtful and friendly service! I felt like I could be in touch about anything and she was readily there to help and always happy to do so! On the wedding day, she took care of everything throughout the day and anticipated my EVERY need, this allowed me to just enjoy the day with my family and friends and I am so grateful for her hard work!The Chef, Sharon, hosted a beautiful tasting for us prior to the wedding, we were able to taste and makes requests for every individual dish. At the wedding, she made sure every single guest was taken care of and so were we. We even had a private dinner upstairs before rejoining the party, which was a much needed moment after the ceremony. We underestimated how much we would love that moment and are very grateful for it! Our wedding was small (50 guests) and there was only one child present, Sharon let her request her own meal and cooked whatever she requested, which was so thoughtful! Generally, alongside Jaynell, she made sure every detail ran smoothly. The bar staff was also great, kind and attentive and there was enough booze for everyone. Several of our guests are still raving about how incredible the night was..I'd say this is thanks to the Degas House staff! We will definitely be returning for our future anniversaries! Can't wait to see you all again! Much love, Marina and Will Rastall

We had an incredible wedding and absolutely suggest it as the perfect place to get married in New Orleans. But there are things we would do differently. What the Degas House got right were big wins: beautiful setting, delicious food, helpful staff, comfortable accommodations.We hosted 125 guests, with both ceremony and reception at Degas House. We used the courtyard between the two houses as an aisle and converted that outdoor area to the dance floor. Guests traveled from across the U.S. and overseas. Guests, especially those who hadn’t been to New Orleans, appreciated the venue’s beauty and historic charm. It’s a gorgeous home, perfect for pictures and mingling. Our band had plenty of room to set up with a dance floor, guests shuffled between houses and bar/buffet lines moved quickly. On our wedding day, thunderstorms flooded New Orleans. Though we thought we’d have to move the ceremony indoors, which the staff was ready to do, the rented tents worked perfectly, and water mostly drained from the outdoor areas.Our guests were impressed with the food. It was especially a treat for the out-of-towners. The staff also accommodated our requests with alcohol/mixers for the bar. On the night before the wedding, I spent the night with my bridesmaids in the Estelle Suite. On the day of the wedding, the groomsmen used the Mathilde Suite to get ready while we stayed in the Estelle Suite. These rooms were a perfect place to stay comfortable ahead of the ceremony and gave us an easy place to store things. We’d highly recommend staying at the venue the night of your wedding, as it’s a comfortable, luxurious suite. While all of these great memories will be the ones that stand out, the one main issue we had was with the sound permit for a live band to perform. We wanted a party-like atmosphere and booked a large brass band to perform, even extending the reception an extra hour to end at 11 p.m. However, we ultimately lost an hour of the reception after a neighbor called the police with a noise complaint. Our band had to end early, forcing us to miss our second line around the venue.Because of staff turnover, we worked with 4 different wedding coordinators. Those personnel changes may have caused some things to get lost in the shuffle, including perhaps the institutional knowledge of how the city’s permitting process/sound ordinances work. We got an event permit ourselves, but the city requires amplified sound to end at 10PM — the venue didn’t make that clear to us when we extended the reception until 11. If you’re planning a wedding here, you will absolutely want to get a special event permit from the city (easy to get) and plan to have everything end by 10PM. Losing that hour of our reception was a costly disappointment that could have been avoided had the venue staff more clearly understood/disclosed the city’s permitting process and sound ordinances. We started the wedding ceremony at least 30 minutes later than we planned. Though our wedding party was ready and waiting, we had to find the coordinator and prompt her to start the ceremony. Erica, our final wedding coordinator, was kind and helpful. David, the venue’s owner, was friendly and warm. Sharron was a ROCK STAR who helped keep everything going. Servers and other staff were professional and top-notch. Despite the few things we would have changed — primarily the sound permit and 10PM end time — we would absolutely recommend the Degas House as an ideal wedding venue.

After hosting our wedding here I would not recommend this venue. We though that having everything organized in house would reduce our stress on the big day. However, there is high turn over in their wedding department so we ended up having 4 different wedding coordinators throughout the planning process and none of them had notes from their predecessor so we had to restart each time. They also had different pricing deals each time. The last coordinator showed up the day before our wedding so she had no idea what was going on and had to interrupt precious moments with my mom, family, and new husband to ask about things like where do the sparklers go, what time do we want to cut the cake, etc. I will say the kitchen staff was amazing and it was beautiful but there are a lot of beautiful venues in NOLA that offer more value for this large investment. Also, the bridal suit roof leak so that water drips on the bed if it rains.

In the end, my husband and I were thoroughly impressed. The food was amazing (Sharon is a gem), the amount of staff working our event provided excellent service and moved throughout the evening not standing out. Even our signature cocktail was delicious (watermelon mojito). Everything we were guaranteed 1.5 years from the big day was delivered.

While planning a wedding, I think it's normal to wonder whether everything is going to successfully come together and create this picturesque event that you've had in your mind. The venue, of course, is a key component to any wedding as it provides the backdrop and setting for everything else. In short, we are so pleased that we picked the Degas House. This historical landmark provided a unique and unforgettable experience. What really made things perfect was its staff. Specifically, Kira successfully and professionally coordinated with all vendors and took on the brunt of the work. She also provided a calming presence that reassured my bride and our families, which is no small feat. Also, Sharron cooked up a storm, making delicious dancing fuel that passed our discerning native New Orleanian taste tests. We are beyond happy with the way our wedding day turned out and a lot of credit goes out to this wonderful venue.

The Degas House is an amazing place to get married! It was so very convenient to be able to get ready at, get married at and then spend the night when the partying was over. Definitely recommend all brides take some stress out of their wedding day and do it this way. We received nothing but compliments about the food and the atmosphere is already beautiful. Kira, who was recently hired on, was an amazing asset to us. She made sure everything ran smoothly with such grace! Thank you Kira for your hard work.

I’m originally form New Orleans, my wife - a native Aussie - also loves New Orleans with a feverous passion. So, we didn’t need to look any further once we found the Degas House! The wedding was like something out of a movie! And the Estelle suite - where we stayed that night - is simply to die for! Everyone in the wedding party absolutely loved it as well! My wife and I could not have asked for a better staff. They really know how to handle all the nuances and answered all of the little questions that arose to help fill in the gaps of planning.A uniquely amazing one-of-a-kind venue for a truly once-in-a-lifetime event.Thank you to David for championing the passion of his life that is Degas & to all the staff (especially the chefs!!!

One week ago, my (now) husband and I got married at the Degas House. Now, I have to say that marrying my husband was the best decision I ever made, BUT the second best decision we made was getting married at the Degas House. Not only did the wedding exceed our expectations (because it did) but it was the most beautiful and well coordinated wedding I have ever been to (and I have been to a lot of weddings).​The Event Manager, Kira is a dream. She is kind, patient, and extremely talented. She made me feel calm and confident every moment that she could (cause we all know being a bride can be stressful at times). She was honest, well organized and on top of every conversation we had together and every decision that we made. She has a great eye for the space, decor and was exactly where she needed to be during the whole ceremony and reception. Getting married can be nerve racking and stressful, but Kira was a constant source of strength. We are from Los Angeles but both my husband and I love New Orleans, so we knew it was a natural choice to get married there. Having a destination wedding can be scary and all of our decisions were made sight unseen. But with Kira, I never doubted for a second our decision for venue.There are some great venues in New Orleans, but none have the beauty, charm, history or amazing staff like the Degas House. There is truly something magical, unique and beautiful about it!Oh yeah, AND THE FOOD!!! Sharon, thank you Sharon! Trust me when I say that having your wedding at the Degas House you and your guests will be blown away. Sharon's food is like eating the most delicious home cooked meal you have ever had and sharing it with all of your family and friends.We had over 90 guests and (not kidding) every guest said not only was it the best wedding food, but just one of the best meals they had in New Orleans (and that is saying something). Sharon made sure my husband and I had our own plate of appetizers and made sure we had food in front of us at dinner! Sharon and her team go above and beyond! The wedding was as close to perfect as it could be. So many of our guests told us that we ruined future weddings for them. We are so humble and thankful for the Degas House, Kira, Sharon and all of the other amazing staff there. Thank you thank you!Make no mistake, getting married here will be the second best choice you ever make too!

I was recently a client of the Degas House, planning a reception for a family event. The staff there was OVER THE TOP as far as being available to us and being extremely accommodating! Sharon Parker, who has been with Degas House for over 20 years, did an amazing job! She puts her heart and soul into the food as well as making sure that the entire experience is enjoyed by all. I could hear our guests raving about the amazing dishes and there was an abundance of food available throughout the evening as well as a great selection which had been decided upon during a formal tasting beforehand at the Degas House in preparation for the event. Kira did an amazing job and paid close attention to the details of the family as well as the nuances of the event. There was plenty of parking and it was included in the price. I would definitely recommend Degas House, an incredible historic New Orleans venue, for your next memorable family celebration!

Words cannot describe how beautiful my destination wedding at Degas House was on 10.19.17. I have chills just thinking about it! I wish I could relive that day over and over again from start to finish!!!! I did the Dressing of the Bride package and stayed in the Estelle Suite with my bridal party. It was amazing! The room was perfect. Spacious. Comfortable. Classic. The balcony was gorgeous! We all had our hair and makeup done and the natural lighting was perfect! My mother booked the adjoining Josephine room, which worked out great for adding a little extra space the day of the wedding! The snacks were delicious and of course the champagne was a great touch! I cannot say enough about Kira the event coordinator. I could not have pulled off the wedding without her! She truly ran the show and made sure every detail was taken care of. I did not have a worry in the world with Kira by my side! The ceremony and reception were in the courtyard and Oh My Goodness was it beautiful!!!! We had an evening wedding on a Thursday with only lanterns as decoration and it was seriously all we needed because the venue is that amazing! And the food... the food... so good!!!! Remember, this was a destination wedding, we did not get the chance to revisit New Orleans for a sampling, so we went on Kira's guidance and our friend's and family's preferences... we were not disappointed!!!! Oh, and the staff! Sharon and everyone else working that night thank you so so so so so much! My plate was made for me and my glass of wine was always full! I was shown so much love by the staff that you would have thought they were my family! There is a reason Degas House has amazing reviews and I experienced it first hand! I am beyond grateful and proud to be forever a Degas House bride!!!!

We cannot say enough good things about our experience at Degas House. My husband and I were stunned at just how beautiful everything looked and we were so very grateful to the staff — especially Kira and Sharon — for their hard work and their attentiveness to every little thing! Our guests keep raving about the venue, the food, the generally atmosphere (and our great band!). We have never had so much fun. This place is really special and it is hard to put its magic into words, but I know we could not have asked for a better place to say \"I do\"!

My wedding day was an absolute dream. I highly recommend staying in the Estelle suite the night before the wedding with your bridesmaids so you all can wake up and have a nice breakfast before hair and makeup without having to worry about meeting at a certain time on the day-of or forgetting anything due to being in a rush. We had plenty of time to go through our things the night before to make sure we had everything we needed, as well as a spacious room with space enough for 10+ women getting ready. My husband and I also stayed the night in that room, so from the night before to the ceremony to the reception, we didn’t have to go anywhere and it was super convenient! Our only job was to be directed by Kira, our wonderful coordinator, who made sure we were where we needed to be according to our timeline. I chose this venue because of the rich history and old New Orleans character and charm, and it did not disappoint. From the claw foot bath tub to the floor-length windows that opened up to a big, beautiful balcony overlooking Esplanade, and everything in between, these little details made me positively sure that I chose the right venue for us.

For my review of Degas House, I will list/review in separate sections the planning aspect and the actual wedding weekend. My overall review reflects the experience that I had over the course of the planning timeline. Planning with Degas: We are a couple living in Paris that wanted to gather our families in a beautiful place that celebrates both French and American culture. New Orleans was that place for us, and we just knew after our visit with the Degas House and Cindy (one of the previous coordinators) that Degas House was the perfect place for us. The tasting with Ms. Sharon and her kitchen staff was a wonderful experience (done while we were in Alabama with my family for Christmas) and Cindy's hospitality in person was unmatched. The other parts of planning were exponentially more difficult. We would go days or weeks without hearing from Cindy around the middle of the timeline for our wedding. In one instance, we hadn't heard from her for two weeks and we called Degas to check in. As it turns out, Cindy had been let go and no one had informed us. This was upsetting, but another coordinator named Shawne came in and helped us reorganize the wedding and get everything in order over the course of a few days. She was great at communication and made the process much easier for us. We were happy with this coordinator, but apparently she was having trouble with the Degas House staff behind the scenes and left the week before our wedding. You can imagine how difficult this was, as we were almost finished with our planning/coordination and now had to start over at the end with yet another coordinator. There was a lot of stress and tears, but we were reassured by the staff that everything was being reviewed in our file and that the entire team would take over our wedding (along with Kira, the new coordinator). David, the owner, made himself available for everything leading up to the wedding and gave us his personal cell number to make sure that we were kept happy and stress-free as much as possible. The Wedding Week/Wedding: This is where the 5-star review comes in. The team (Ms. Sharon, David, and Kira) met with us for several hours when we arrived in New Orleans a few days before the wedding. We reviewed everything together, promises were made, and we left much happier than when we arrived (it was pretty devastating to go through). David made it possible for us to move in early on Friday so that we could be ready for the people checking in. The experience from that point on was just absolutely incredible. I (we) felt completely taken care of by the staff and especially the new coordinator Kira. She is an absolute gem and did great on her first wedding! If you want to book your wedding with Degas, don't hesitate to do it now. They seem to be over the coordinator rough patch and Kira is an absolute treasure that would like to make her career with Degas. She was attentive and sweet and made both us and my family/friends feel special. People were bragging on not only the location/party (which was GORGEOUS, just absolutely stunning), but on Kira! She made sure we were fed and sheltered from anything crazy going on behind the scenes. I was one blindingly happy bride thanks to her. David also got behind the bar that night and helped serve drinks when he noticed everyone was swamped with guests! Sharon's food was amazing, and even our pickiest eaters enjoyed her menu. In the end, it was a perfect and I mean PERFECT wedding!

This review is 6 months late, but still well deserved. We were married in February 2017, at the very start of Mardi Gras. Having visited many venues up and down and all around New Orleans, The Degas House was a last minute and most welcoming addition. From that first meeting with Cindy we felt at home in New Orleans, and knew this was exactly the hospitality we wanted to extend to our guests. We were on a budget, knowing we wanted to host our guests for 4 days of varied events, to really give them a taste of New Orleans, and the Degas House made that possible. It is a 1-stop shop for cocktails and reception, amazing indoor and outdoor layout, home made local cuisine, and a hospitable staff. I found photos of many types of weddings here - from highly elegant to colorful and unique, we opted for an elegant 'backyard' wedding, showcasing the beauty of the space itself. Cindy and the team were incredibly accommodating allowing us to ship all of our decor over in advance and storing it, making sure we were always fed well, patiently answering all our questions and handling any situations day of the wedding for us. We also rented the bridal suite, and it was beautiful for photos, plenty of room for all the friends and family who were hanging out while we were getting ready and a beautiful huge bed to rest in. Truly a memorable day for us and our family.If you want to give your guests a true taste of New Orleans hospitality, I highly recommend the Degas House

I found photos of many types of weddings here - from highly elegant to colorful and unique, we opted for an elegant 'backyard' wedding, showcasing the beauty of the space itself. Cindy and the team were incredibly accommodating allowing us to ship all of our decor over in advance and storing it, making sure we were always fed well, patiently answering all our questions and handling any situations day of the wedding for us. We also rented the bridal suite, and it was beautiful for photos, plenty of room for all the friends and family who were hanging out while we were getting ready and a beautiful huge bed to rest in. Truly a memorable day for us and our family.If you want to give your guests a true taste of New Orleans hospitality, I highly recommend the Degas House

Our wedding experience at the Degas House was superb! We were searching for a wedding/reception venue where as much as possible could be taken care of in-house and Degas House did! Everything was taken care of by the amazing staff and all of our additional vendors were communicated with clearly. They made what is usually a very stressful day very, very enjoyable. AND the food was AMAZING! All guests could not stop raving about how delicious everything was. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special!

What a beautiful wedding we had at the Degas House! It was truly a dream wedding, in such a naturally beautiful place. Cindy was great the day of the wedding making sure my husband and I knew where to go and when. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because I wasn't the only person in contact with the wedding coordinator. My mom and mother-in-law kept in contact with her throughout the wedding process. I was told that communication could have been better in certain situations, and this is why I'm giving it this rating. Other than that everything was amazing!

There is a reason why this place has been voted best wedding venue over and over. We are so happy with how everything turned out. Cindy helped us so much with the planning and coordinating and made our day so personal and special. The whole venue is just gorgeous, even in the pouring rain. The Bridal suite and \"Dressing of the Bride\" package is really magical and everyone had an amazing time from start to finish. The staff is hard-working and super friendly and everything flows so smoothly! The neighborhood is beautiful too, and our second line was so much fun. I definitely recommend Degas House for your event. They will not let you down.

Mother of the Bride here. Our daughter and her fiance live in China and wanted to come \"home\" to Louisiana and New Orleans for their wedding, as they both have family and school ties to the area. They wanted an authentic and unique New Orleans venue, as guests came from 3 continents, five countries and 17 states to attend the wedding. Originally the bride and groom estimated 35 people would come, the guest list rsvps were at 120. The Degas House was the perfect venue for their wedding. They are able to accommodate any number of guests from small to large. We love that this is a Non profit Foundation, and historical home, in a unique New Orleans neighborhood. Kudos to Miss Cindy Hoerner, our wedding coordinator, and everyone on staff for pulling everything together for the ceremony and reception. Miss Sharon's appetizers and dinner were absolutely delicious and we had so many options to choose from. Miss Cindy's expertise was so valuable: the day before the wedding she was able to find wonderful hair and makeup people when the original person cancelled. She also recommended a \"sparkler special send-off\" with a pedicab exit for the Bride and Groom. Fabulous. Miss Cindy was also quite adept at dealing with a Mom in California and the Bride in China, while working with a short planning time frame.The house and courtyard photograph beautifully. We highly recommend the bridal preparation package in the Estelle suite. A bonus was the delicious lunch included with that package. Perfect for the bride and bridesmaids, and the balcony was a great place for photos. And it's a beautiful room for the bride and groom to stay in after the wedding. We also booked the Mathilde suite for the groom and his groomsmen, which worked well for them, too. In closing, the highest compliment I can give to the staff at Degas House, is that, from the moment I arrived until after the sparkler send off, 8 hours later, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our daughter's wedding.And, as we had hoped, our guests were blown away by the venue, the wonderful food, great music and the hospitality at Degas House. All we had hoped for and more.

The Degas House was everything you can imagine for a perfect day. Not only is it a historic building with a rich artistic background, but Cindy Hoerner, the wedding planner will help guide you through this very detailed day. She literally thought of EVERYTHING! Down to an impromptu second line after the party was dying down. Her and the rest of the staff made this day EFFORTLESS! Everything fell into place and everyone left the evening with smiles on their face. When things went array (like our pedal cab not showing up or my lack of a voice on the day of) she was on it and made arrangements without us even having to worry. Lastly, the Degas House is the one-stop-shop for everything you need. Food, planner, accommodation, and a postcard perfect backdrop. Our 112 guests still talk about how great the food was. And the photos turned out better than I could have imagined with the looming trees in the street and the historic neighborhood. It was such a memorable experience to be able to have our second line through the Treme. I can not recommend this place enough! Book early to make sure you get the date you want!

She made sure everyone was in their correct place and everything was running smoothly. We even forgot our flower girl's basket and petals and she magically found something for them and got some petals in a heartbeat. Throughout the night the attendants made sure all of our guests and the groom and I were thoroughly taken care of and I heard the bartender was great. Ms Sharon's food cannot be beat and our guests raved about her cooking all night!

Eva was awesome and a huge part of my decision to book with Degas House. Unfortunately, she had to retire before my wedding. Her replacement, Flora, was fine. I had no issues with her and she did a great job of coordinating my wedding on the day of.After my wedding, I was pressured into writing a 5 star review. I told Flora that I couldn't honestly give them 5 stars because I was a little peeved that they had charged me an 18% gratuity for both the cost of the food and the bar; and then the bartenders had out tip jars so my wedding guests felt obligated to tip not knowing I had already paid that 18% gratuity. Flora was understanding and offered me $150 back and a 4 night stay \"to use when [we] are back in town\". There was no contingency attached. I thought that was a fair offer and I wrote the 5 star review. In general, I was very pleased with my wedding.Fast forward to this week -- it has been an absolute nightmare dealing with their current staff trying to get them to honor the offer that Flora made me. At first Cindy told me that they are booked for Thanksgiving weekend, which I could see from their website was not true. When I pushed the issue, she clarified that the rooms are not actually reserved yet but they expect to fill them up for the dates I asked for. She also made it a point to tell me that Flora doesn't work there anymore, as if they are not obligated to honor the offer she made me and they are going above and beyond by offering me anything at all. I pushed back again saying that Flora's offer made no contingency based on Holiday weekends or special events, and since she knew we lived in Alaska when she made the offer it is not reasonable to expect that we would ever be in the area over a non-holiday. She then tells me that they have several FEMA guests staying with them. I have no idea why she brought that up other than to deceive me, because the room I want is STILL available to reserve over the website so obviously even with the FEMA guests, the rooms are not actually full. I told her I don't understand what that has to do with them treating my request differently than someone booking over the website. She said that the owner said to check back a week before and they will know more then. I told her that was unacceptable because what she was suggesting is considerably less valuable than what Flora had offered me. Her response to that made the following points: (1) How dare I suggest that they put out their FEMA guests (\"It seems by putting a family with 4 small children and a family with special needs children out on the street or in a shelter is okay.\" To be clear, I never came close to making that suggestion. All I wanted was the room still available on the website.) and (2) I should have told Flora about the tip jars during the wedding.This has been one of the most bizarre and deceptive customer service experiences of my life and I have no idea why an organization would feel that they are not obligated to honor an offer made by their employee just because she no longer works there. Oh, and I never got my $150 either.UPDATE: After I filed a complaint with the BBB, the owner called me directly and allowed me to use the offer for the dates I requested. He seems like a very nice and reasonable man that was just out of the loop. Apparently Cindy is the only problem. I can't justify giving more than 3 stars because of how stressful and difficult it was interacting with Cindy, but at least it's not the entire staff.

Eva was awesome and a huge part of my decision to book with Degas House. Unfortunately, she had to retire before my wedding. Her replacement, Flora, was fine. I had no issues with her and she did a great job of coordinating my wedding on the day of.After my wedding, I was pressured into writing a 5 star review. I told Flora that I couldn't honestly give them 5 stars because I was a little peeved that they had charged me an 18% gratuity for both the cost of the food and the bar; and then the bartenders had out tip jars so my wedding guests felt obligated to tip not knowing I had already paid that 18% gratuity. Flora was understanding and offered me $150 back and a 4 night stay \"to use when [we] are back in town\". There was no contingency attached. I thought that was a fair offer and I wrote the 5 star review.

The Degas House is an exceptional venue that breathes history through its gorgeous walls. Our Krewe de Jeanne d'Arc, a group that honors history, adores this venue because of its authenticity. We hold our annual holiday party here because the decorations are perfect, the staff is wonderful, the location is excellent, and the vibe is just ideal for anyone who loves our city, our French heritage, and all the artful characters who have come before us. I cannot recommend this venue enough as a place to experience true New Orleans and honor our past, present, and future. We have made this krewe holiday reception an annual tradition and cannot imagine the season without it. Thank you.

Our wedding at the Degas House was truly a magical experience. This is primarily because of the wonderful staff there. From David, the owner, to Eva, the Coordinator, to the chefs and waitstaff, everyone made sure that all aspects of our special day were perfect. The planning process with Eva went extremely smooth. She explained the various options in detail and helped us to keep the event within our small PhD student budget. On the wedding day, neither my wife nor I had to worry about a thing. Eva was around to keep everyone on task, guest and staff alike, but she only really needed to corral my wild family.The entire staff wanted to be there, which means they are being compensated fairly, and each individual worked hard to ensure that we had a fantastic event. Every detail truly was magnificent: food, decor, and entertainment. Thank you Eva and your staff for everything. We look forward to spending some of our anniversaries in your lovely B&B!

There may be 2 reviews under my name because my husband wrote a review on our wedding account that is under my name, but I HAD to write my own review! We had our destination wedding at the Degas house on 10/23 and it was everything I ever wanted it to be. The staff and venue and everyone involved completely exceeded any expectations I had. They could not have treated us anymore like royalty. Eva was lovely to work with in our initial planning and when we learned that she was retiring, I was devastated. However, her replacement Flora was fabulous, patient, listened to all my concerns, and had EVERYTHING HANDLED! It was great!!! We had 70 guests, all from out of town and I felt like everyone was blown away by the magical looking venue, the food (great job Ms. Sharon!!!), and the staff. My bridesmaids and I also did the Dressing of the Bride event in the Estelle suite and it was such an awesome way to start our day. I would a thousand times recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in New Orleans.

We had a wonderful experience having our wedding and reception at The Degas House. The venue is beautiful and I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed The Dressing of the Bride in the Bridal suite. I felt like a princess. The ladies spilled out onto the beautiful, spacious balcony where we were treated to a second line parade strolling down the street in front of the Degas House. It was so cool, so New Orleans. We had our wedding ceremony in the spacious courtyard in front of the fountain. Our indoor/outdoor reception included the formal parlors where Edgar Degas painted one of his most famous paintings of the parlor itself. The service was impeccable and Sharon made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. The off street parking included in our package was convenient and accommodated all of our guests. The food was really wonderful and we stayed overnight and had a delicious gourmet breakfast which included a mimosa. The whole experience there was just wonderful and warm.

I had a smaller wedding of 50 guests and they all raved about how fantastic the location is. Flora, our wedding coordinator did a fabulous job, ensuring everything was set up as we imagined it. She was always there during the reception making sure we had everything we needed. Mrs. Sharon's food was delicious.

Wow!!! Our wedding was absolutely perfect. The entire Degas team worked wonders. We were treated like royalty. Flora, our coordinator, was very responsive and thoughtful. They gave us everything we asked for and more. My beautiful wife...I can say that now...participated in their \"Dressing of the Bride\" offer, which all of the ladies loved (she's writing her own review). The venue is so beautiful inside and out. Luckily, the weather was perfect for us, so we felt like we were in a fairy tale. The food was AMAZING. All of the guests had a great time and were incredibly complimentary of the venue and the Degas House team. There isn't one, single, small, tiny thing I would change about our special night. Also, if you stay there as well, the breakfast is delicious! Get the Bananas Foster French Toast.
