We held our rehearsal dinner/ welcome reception at Felicity Church which was my husband's favorite event of the weekend. The stained glass windows, wood beams and brick walls make for a beautiful and moody ambiance. We hosted 120 guests for a seated buffet upstairs and moved downstairs for our cocktail style welcome reception. A second bar in the courtyard helped to spread out our guests and take advantage of the added space that is well light with festoon lights and elegant mobile planters. Chris was quick to respond and easy to work with. What a stunning venue for a wedding but I cannot recommend it enough for a rehearsal dinner/ welcome reception too.

UnBELIEVABLE. We were a little iffy about spending more than we planned on a venue but i literally could not explain to you how perfect this turned out to be. Worth every penny. Chris is a dream to work with and is such an expert when it comes to putting these events together. I had zero worries showing up that day that everything would be put together and it was even better than i could have imagined. The venue had our guests in awe. If you’re even thinking about Felicity, do it!!

Felicity Church was my dream venue. It is historic, beautiful, and timeless. Chris was fantastic to work with. He was really attentive to us and gave us some awesome recommendations to make our day perfect. I highly recommend this venue to anyone, even if you're not in the New Orleans area. Not only do they have an amazing online tour but Chris offered to facetime us to show us the place. It is a gorgeous location for pictures and a fantastic venue all around. Thanks for everything! -Amanda and Arianna

Felicity Church was hands down one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding in April 2022. Chris was super helpful throughout the entire planning process and the wedding day. We started planning our wedding in January 2021 and booked the venue without my now husband able to see it. Chris was able to arrange a tour with my parents and my now husband when we were down there visiting a few months later, and was always willing to answer any questions we had. Felicity is such a unique and gorgeous venue. We had our cocktail hour outside in the side courtyard and first floor, and then did our ceremony and reception on the second floor. The light through those stain glass windows was just magical, and Felicity Church also provides a perfect location for a second line around the park nearby. I would recommend it to anyone planning a wedding in New Orleans.

The most perfect location for a ceremony. It's old world beauty is breathtaking and the entire FC team was over the top helpful in making sure our big day went smoothly. I always had my eye on an outdoor ceremony but this church brought me in (literally). Yet, with all the windows and beautiful light, it still feels like your outside. The place is truly breathtaking. The pictures show it's beauty but it doesn't do it justice. It truly is a special place.

CHRIS(!!) is the reason why hosting your ceremony at Felicity Church is the best decision you could ever make for your wedding. He was by far the most attentive, hands-on, knowledgable and helpful vendor we used (aside from our lovely planner, of course) pre-booking, post-booking and during our ceremony. The venue is beautiful (our pictures speak for that) and he and his wife did such an amazing job restoring it, but ultimately, the experience we had working with him was what is the most memorable. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Chris!

My husband and I got married at Felicity Church this past fall, and I cannot recommend it enough. The church itself is absolutely stunning which meant we did not have to do much decorating. So many people commented on the lovely natural light that shone through the stained glass behind the alter during our ceremony - it was almost magical. I also loved being able to have both the ceremony and reception. The location was also perfect - easily accessible for guests staying anywhere in the city. In case those weren't enough reasons to love Felicity, Chris (the owner) is AMAZING!! Communication with him was a breeze throughout the whole process. He diligently made sure everything was taken care of to ensure we had a great experience & wedding day. Seriously. I cannot recommend this venue enough. You will not regret having your wedding or any other important event at Felicity Church.

Felicity church was truly the venue of my dreams. It was love at first sight from the first time I saw their Instagram — long before I met my now-husband. It was the only venue we visited because, luckily, it was love at first sight for him, too! Every detail is beautiful. Photo opportunities are endless and the feeling you get inside is just magical. The layout was perfect for us to have both our ceremony and reception there (we did a secondline around the neighborhood while the vendors “flipped” the space, which I highly recommend!)All of my expectations were exceeded and I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful the owner, Chris, was to work with. He was incredibly helpful; always willing to offer guidance and advice wether it be regarding the venue, vendors who have worked well there in the past, or really anything at all. I look forward to my next excuse to visit Felicity Church!

Two and a half months have passed since our wedding and I am still in awe. I don't think we would have had the same experience anywhere other than Felicity Church. It was perfect. The flow of our event was seamless - starting with a 6pm ceremony, followed by cocktail hour downstairs, while the upstairs was flipped for the reception. Chris was always available to answer any questions and ease concerns. Between Chris and our other amazing vendors, I was calmer than I ever would have imagined on my wedding day because I knew we were in good hands. Huge thanks to Felicity for everything! Couldn't imagine having had our wedding anywhere else!!

Chris Jones and crew at Felicity Church were absolutely amazing. The gorgeous eye-candy that is the church building speaks for itself. But it's the thoughtfulness, professionalism, dedication, and genuine enthusiasm that really elevate Chris and his team to the next level. We felt as if a close relative was helping us plan and oversee our wedding; both of our parents assumed that Chris was a very close friend of ours from way back. Chris had amazing recommendations, was approachable and available for calls, and made us feel at ease from day 1 of planning. About 90% of our guests flew in from California (our wedding was in April 2022), and they are STILL talking about our wedding, most of them saying it was the best wedding they've ever attended. We had both the wedding ceremony and reception at the church, and it was PERFECT. In fact, many of our guests have recommended that we plan a 1 year anniversary party at Felicity. Who knows?.... :)

Felicity Church is THE PERFECT venue!! It is such a magical place. To be honest, prior to getting engaged I had mentioned to my now husband I wanted to get married in New Orleans (we are from CA). I had already started looking at places and Felicity Church was actually my first choice! Then fast forward to actually being engaged we originally chose an outdoor location to be our Plan A, yet due to Hurricane Ida causing damage we went with our backup indoor location which was Felicity Church! And I truly think it was meant to always be Felicity Church for our wedding! We had an an intimate elopement, and I couldn't have asked for a better location to get married at, I can't be any more grateful to have been married at this place. Chris the manager, was super friendly and nice, professional, quick to respond to emails, and provided plenty of info for us for using the church. He was so great! Felicity Church was just amazing, the beauty of it in general, the lighting, architecture, and the ambiance of the space. It was the perfect backdrop for our wedding photos. Just from our wedding preview photos we have gotten so many compliments of how gorgeous the church looks. We still follow Felicity Church on Instagram and recommend that to others as well! We love Felicity Church and it will truly hold a special place in our hearts! We would absolutely recommend this space to anyone and everyone, and if we were ever able to have another event here we absolutely would. I cannot describe enough how great Chris and Felicity Church. This is definitely the place to get married!!

Felicity Church!! I will attempt to sum up what so many other happy brides have already shared. This venue is so perfect for a wedding for a number of reasons, the first being that venue manager is a dream to work it. Chris is so accommodating and professional that he makes the planning within in the space a breeze. Not to mention he is beyond dog friendly, to the point that if he finds out you have a dog, he will try and find a way to have your four-legged friend involved in some way just so he can he can pet them. We were married upstairs in the church, then had a cocktail hour downstairs while we mingled and got started on small bites, then we headed back upstairs where the whole space was transformed into the most beautiful reception area I had ever seen. I would strongly recommend doing the ceremony and reception here, especially if you are coming from out of town, because it eliminates the stress of finding transportation in between ceremony and reception and makes for a longer, more intimate evening. Another one of my favorite parts about this venue is that is a full functioning kitchen so that your catering team will be totally set. I prefer this option to in house catering because I find that when you book somewhere that has in house catering you are really compromising on quality as far as food goes. New Orleans has so many incredible caterers that this option lends you to the best of both worlds. It's also centrally located and one of the best locations in town that allows you to easily get to the Quarter or Uptown depending on where your guests are staying or where they might want to go later in the night to keep the party going. Overall I can't recommend Felicity enough.

Felicity Church is a truly wonderful and unique venue. We got married there (ceremony and reception) in May 2019 and everything was so perfect! Our ceremony lasted about half an hour and then everyone went downstairs to the indoor/outdoor area for a cocktail hour with passed hors d'oeuvres while the sanctuary upstairs was \"flipped\" into our reception space, then dinner was served! Chris and Jess are truly wonderful hosts and they really know how the space works best (down to the table and bar set ups). We picked this space specifically for the absolutely gorgeous architecture (which Chris and Jess designed/did themselves!). The space is so elegant and is stunning even without a lot of decorations. But adding a personal touch (we did flower arrangements) really makes it pop! The afternoon/evening light is GORGEOUS, and our photos are truly stunning thanks to Felicity's beautiful bones. Chris and Jess are so gracious and are very supportive of the weddings that are hosted here. For example, one of our ingredients for our specialty cocktails was lots in the mix from family dropping it off to the start of the reception and Chris had some at his own house (which is nearby) that he lent to the bartenders so that our night went off without a hitch. We also planned our wedding from out of state, and Chris was awesome in helping us with various things (he even FaceTimed us for a tour so that we could really envision the space with our set up). We recommend Felicity Church to everyone that we know! We still follow Felicity Church on Instagram and recommend that to others as well!

The Felicity was absolutely amazing venue for us. From day one Chris made sure that he was involved in helping make our day extra special. He truly loves what he does and made sure all our needs were met. He also provides a list of preferred vendors that helps that helped us narrow down catering, flowers, music, etc. Because of this, he and our vendors worked seamlessly together because they had a previously well established relationship. We did both our ceremony and reception at the Felicity with a cocktail hour downstairs while they flipped the space. The amounts of compliments we received on how gorgeous the space was has not stopped and we are two months removed from our wedding. The space provides a beautiful backdrop for photos and videos mostly because Chris has spent time on every detail down to the door handles to make the space stand out. Because the space is so beautiful, you can decorate it as much or as little as you want, which can be a huge cost saver. We would absolutely recommend this space, and have, to anyone and everyone and if we were ever able to have another event here we absolutely would.

Going into wedding planning, my husband and I knew that the right setting was essential to make the big day a success. We initially thought that we'd host our wedding in an old New Orleans mansion. We added Felicity Church to our list because it was in the exact neighborhood we wanted and it was highly recommended by a friend of mine. We toured 6 potential sites and, somewhat unexpectedly, we both fell in love with Felicity Church’s architecture and charm. We booked it for our reception on October 12, 2019.It’s been three months since our wedding and booking Felicity Church was one of the best decisions we made. First, the neighborhood surrounding the church is quintessentially New Orleans. Some of our favorite photos are from the walk through the Garden District between the ceremony and reception. Second, the church itself is beautiful. Every inch of Felicity has been lovingly restored, and all of the spaces are exquisitely maintained (a surprising number of female guests have pictures from the women’s bathroom because it’s just so gorgeous). As an added plus and we were able to get away with minimal decorations because the space and existing lighting are already so striking. Third, the indoor and outdoor spaces are wholly configurable to accommodate a variety of settings and moods. We had an intimate cocktail hour on the lower level that drifted into the courtyard around sunset. During the reception, the upper floors were perfectly arranged for conversation, dinner, and dancing. Finally, although the space was remodeled to maintain its vintage charm, it has the modern updates that matter: the full service kitchen produced some of the best food I’ve ever eaten, and the air conditioning is first class.We had two main points of contact at Felicity Church: Chris and Rachel. From the earliest conversations, up until the day after my wedding they were both delightful to work with. They were responsive throughout the planning process, and the day of the wedding they both worked behind the scenes to ensure everything was in order, all transitions were seamless, and the wedding timeline (e.g. speeches, cake cutting, and dances) happened on schedule. They are also both New Orleans natives to boot, which was personally really important to me, since I grew up in New Orleans and wanted my wedding to reflect a city I love.The final thing I want to mention—and one of the reasons I was most thankful we chose Felicity Church—is that the venue ultimately acts as a canvas to whatever wedding experience you want to create. You have the freedom to choose everything (from the caterer, to how the tables are arranged) to make it truly unique and tailored to your vision. We opted to book an extra hour and a half for our reception and hold our ceremony at another location. Chris was happy to accommodate our request. We also ended our wedding with a group sing-a-long, and the timing was not only perfect, but each of our guests had song sheets!Felicity Church was absolutely incredible from start to finish—I highly recommend it!

I wasn't sure what my dream wedding was when I started the planning process, but now that it's all happened – I couldn't imagine it any better without Felicity Church! Felicity Church has many things going for it, but first and foremost you can't beat the absolute beauty of the architecture and lighting here. Secondly, the owner/manager, Chris Jones, is simply the best. He is not only a super nice guy, but beyond helpful throughout the entire process. Whether I had an inquiry about the venue itself, using a particular vendor, or a random off-the-wall wedding reception question... he had wonderful, honest advice. I trusted his every word, and was not disappointed. Although I live in New Orleans, I had out-of-state family – and a lot – that would come down and often want to do a walk-through. Chris coordinated every visit as if it was our first time. I kept thinking the first-hand attention might slack off after the contract was signed, but nope. He was on his A-game each and every visit, email, and phone call. I also realized after following their instagram account – @felicitychurchnola – that they hosts several weddings/receptions/events there in just ONE week. I don't know how he manages so many events while making you feel as if your are the only one, but he did for me! Furthermore, the beauty of this church is unparalleled to me. The renovation of the first floor is fresh, new, clean, and an empty slate to create whatever you dream. The side courtyard is surprisingly bigger than what I'd envisioned from the photos online. You could really go wild in this space if you wanted. And then the main sanctuary is just gorgeous. I didn't want to spend a ton of our budget on masking a mediocre, or lacking venue with decorations/florals/rentals, and there is no need to here. The stained glass windows, chandeliers, hardwood floors, brick walls, and the trim/molding framing the altar are hard to beat. We took photos here before the ceremony and the daytime light through the primary-colored stained glass windows was to die for! In addition, I have to say I was most taken aback when we re-entered the venue for our reception after sunset. I never considered that I hadn't seen the sanctuary other than in the daytime, and it took my breath away. The mood of the dim lighting framed the room in the most romantic way. It really was the best of both worlds having experienced, and utilized the venue both during the day and night. I know I'm leaving out so much more detail, but in summary – you won't regret using Felicity Church. It will forever hold a special place in my hear! 5-stars • 100/A+ • Two Thumbs Up • Best-in-Show!

Felicity Church is a fantastic venue! My husband and I were married there a month ago and everything was perfect. Chris is a dream to work with-- he is so on top of his communication and helps ensure that each event goes smoothly. Our guests were totally \"wowed\" at the space. Most of our guests were from New Orleans and hadn't visited the space before-- they could not stop talking about how beautiful everything was. Chris also suggested that we rent the parking lot and have a shuttle to bring guests to and from the event. This was the best suggestion. Our guests were grateful for a parking lot and even more grateful to have a ride the few blocks to the church. I cannot recommend Felicity enough for your wedding or event!

We recently got married at Felicity Church and it was MAGIC! Chris was a great contact to have the full year running up to the wedding. We were able to be creative about all the vendors and customize the space however we wanted! The space is beautiful and we decided to just enhance it with candles. They had all the tables and chairs we needed, we just supplied the linens. We added an hour to ensure the ceremony was before sunset and had an awesome second line loop toward Coliseum Square Park. We went cocktail style for both cocktail hour downstairs and reception upstairs. We had about 100 guests and the space had plenty of room for 2 bars, delicious food stations, dessert table, espresso bar, photobooth in the loft, dancing (even on the stage with the DJ) etc. We have wonderful memories that we'll always treasure. Thank you, Felicity!

Chris and his family at Felicity Church were a dream to work with. Accommodating, helpful, easy to work with and definitely those who you would consider \"above and beyond\" what is expect. Our initial walkthrough the church was a great jumping off point to the start of a wonderful few months of planning! Chris met with us twice (once so my fiancé and I could see the venue, and again so our families could as well), he also was very responsive to emails, questions and last minute details we needed helping with! He was right there through the entire experience from helping with the rehearsal, to meeting vendors day of and even helping direct guests where to go for the ceremony and afterwards even handing out drinks for our Second Line himself. We love Felicity Church, and would get married there every anniversary if possible! We cannot thank Chris enough for making the entire wedding process a dream at this dream venue!

Felicity Church is incredible. We were married there with 250+ people in attendance. The place is simply stunning. The owners/operators, Chris and his wife, rehabbed the entire place themselves and put loving details into every portion of it. Chris is very accessible and helps with all the details of the venue and coordinating with the vendors. He also has a TON of great advice about how to make the event a success. The place is so large and with the ability to flip the event it makes it so that 250 people was not at all too packed. Couldn't recommend it more.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Felicity Church and Chris Jones. We looked at other venues, but the minute I walked into Felicity Church, I was ready to book it on the spot. The rustic charm and beautiful stained glass set it apart from other NOLA wedding spots, and the fact that we could have our wedding AND reception there made it so easy. (We had the ceremony upstairs, went downstairs for a cocktail hour, and went back upstairs after it was \"flipped\" for the reception!) Chris was extremely helpful and a wonderful resource - he recommended floor plans, helped the day run smoothly from behind the scenes, and was even greeting guests as they came into the church. One of the best things about this venue is that it doesn't require lots of decor - we had minimal flowers and small votive candles and it still looked amazing! Our wedding guests are still commenting on how beautiful our venue was. It was the perfect setting for our perfect day!!

Felicity is an absolutely incredible venue! My wife and I got married there this year and we couldn't be more thrilled with our decision. The church itself is a beautiful marriage of old and new - the wood is worn in all the right places and being inside fills you with a sense of warmth. The proprietor Chris Jones is a man among men – we planned our big day from all the way in California, but Chris nevertheless helped us pin down even the very finest of details. The day itself was an absolute dream and ran seamlessly thanks to Chris, his wonderful wife, Jessica, and our amazing day-of planner (recommended by Chris), Rachel Swan. We found all of our other vendors through Chris and were absolutely floored with how everything turned out. As many have already shared, Chris is everything you want as you're planning your wedding -- he is impeccably kind, knowledgeable, organized, and responsive. He guided us through every step of our planning and the day itself with a contagious calm and a much-appreciated sense of humor. His incredibly detailed expertise and dedication to our wedding day always put us at ease, and truly allowed us to be in the moment and enjoying every second of our wedding day. My wife will tell anyone who will listen that we wouldn't have made it to or through our wedding if it weren't for Chris and his team, who truly made sure that everything went perfectly as planned and turned out even better than we could've imagined. Among the many advantages of Felicity:- The space has so much of its own character and beauty that one could easily get away with minimal to no additional “decorations” (large elaborate floral arrays, etc not necessary)- Option to do reception in the same space after room flip (as discussed by others)- Super fun neighborhood (great nearby bars and restaurants) situated right in the heart of the Garden District. Also a great neighborhood for a second line!- Airy downstairs space and beautiful courtyard with string lights for cocktail hour/mingling- Your vendors will thank you – everyone loves working with Chris and Jess (for good reason!)- Your guests will be blown away - everyone was raving about the beauty of Felicity and our day, and so many people remarked that ours was the most fun wedding they'd ever attended. We recently got access to our professional photos from our wedding day and we are blown away (all over again) by how beautiful everything was -- every corner of Felicity Church is picture perfect, the surrounding area was the perfect setting for our second line, and every photo is filled with love and warmth, thanks to Felicity and Chris Jones. If you want the wedding of your dreams, you won't regret choosing Felicity.

We got married at 11am at Felicity and we could not have chosen a better venue. The building itself is absolutely GORGEOUS! We barely did any decorating beyond table cloths and a few flower here and there. And like the other reviews said, we received so many compliments on the space from everyone involved. And you cannot go wrong when you’re working with Chris! For a couple as laid back, last minute, and go either he flow as us, he was a perfect fit. Very calm and collected and super flexible with his schedule. And when I got a little overwhelmed he remained calm. That is so important for a wedding.

How would I describe Felicity? Simplicity.We pretty much fell in love with the venue. Everyone who saw the church said the same exact thing to me: \"the pictures do it no justice!\" You feel extra beautiful with the natural light flowing in. Other goodies: we found out that we could have the ceremony and reception in one place. That made planning much easier. There is a flip after the ceremony. So our ceremony was about 15 minutes, we went downstairs, had a little private dinner and mingled for about 15 minutes. Chris@Felicity had the upstairs flipped and ready to go. Some observations:Chris is no-nonsense. Talking to him, I never felt like he was selling something. It was always: this is what I can offer, if you want this, good. He will answer all of your questions. To this day, I don't understand linen counts, but he must've answered my questions probably a million times.My general timeline so people can have an idea:Noon - professionals come to felicity to setup1 pm - Groom and my guys show up to do final touches2 pm - Photographer came in to shoot details and bride getting ready3 pm - First look4 pm - Family photos6 pm - Ceremony6:20 pm - Cocktail hour7:00 pm - Reception begins10:00 pm - Sparkler exitAll throughout, Chris just doing his gentle guide making sure things go smoothly. When things go right, you don't notice things. I one-hundred-percent know about Chris' invisible hand making sure things went according to plan. Like he would corral us knowing the cake cutting was at 9:30 pm. Just pops in out of nowhere, guides us to the cake and BAM! We're eating cake.I cannot describe enough how great Chris and Felicity Church. I still get compliments and the beauty of it.

The church is absolutely gorgeous and our guests said that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Chris also was so helpful when figuring out different vendors to work with and our wedding would not have been so incredible if it weren't for his help.

Felicity Church is the most amazing venue for a wedding and Chris is wonderful to work with. We had the wedding upstairs, second-lined out of the ceremony and around the block to return to the cocktail hour downstairs while the upstairs was being flipped for the reception to follow the cocktail hour. The most wonderful thing about Felicity Church (aside from it’s amazing architecture), is that you get to make your wedding and reception your own. Unlike many venues, you get to choose your own vendors, which allowed us (with the help of Katherine at My House Social) to create a perfect menu unique to us with a New Orleans’ flair. Most other venues require that you use their caterer and other vendors. With Felicity Church, you can choose your own and create your own unique event. Pictures of this venue are amazing, but the venue itself is even more beautiful and the atmosphere created is beyond description. My daughter’s wedding and reception is an event that none of us will ever forget, and it is due in large part to Chris and this unbelievable venue.

Felicity Church is one of the most unique venues in the city of New Orleans. As a born-and-raised local, I’ve been to a number of weddings all over the city at a fair number of the more popular venues, but I had never heard of Felicity until I was looking for venues for my own wedding. It is absolutely stunning; its got that lower garden district charm and that old, rustic feel; but make no mistake, Felicity Church is impeccably maintained. If you’re looking for distressed wood, exposed brick, and lots of natural lighting for that soft romantic aesthetic, Felicity is for you like it was for me. The owner, Chris is an amazing resource to use when planning your wedding. We pretty much went with all of his suggestions for our wedding and everything went perfectly and made for a better wedding overall. He strongly recommended we get a day of wedding coordinator, and I’m glad we listened because our wedding would not have been possible without one!Our wedding was absolutely perfect; our guests were stunned by the beauty of the venue (hard to impress locals) and had the time of their lives at our wedding.

There's also amazing green space around the venue, which made our first-look like we were in a beautiful tropical jungle. On top of all that, Chris is great to work with and is very responsive.

My 5:30 pm wedding ceremony at Felicity last May was absolutely PERFECT (a word I use selectively), as was working with Chris. I cannot recommend enough - especially if you're wanting to get away from French Quarter and Central Business District and go for some Garden District charm. The building itself is an architectural gem. Besides offering the coolest and most charming venue in New Orleans (his renovation of the structure is simply jaw dropping; it drips of charm and photo-worthy nooks and crannies! And don't even get me started on the natural light...), Chris was unlike any wedding vendor I've ever met. Authentic and good-natured, solution-oriented, attentive and best of all...calm! In the high-strung world of wedding planning and all that is involved, Chris somehow does what he does effortlessly and with a sense of humor. I'll never forget sending him an email on a Saturday around 5p (when he was probably in the midst of coordinating another wedding!), asking about the width of the aisle, since it was decided last-minute my two brothers would walk me down the aisle. I'm not kidding you, 10 minutes later, he responded with an informative answer and even attached a photo of another bride walking down the aisle with two people, for extra assurance! This above-and-beyond responsiveness was so appreciated at the time.The beautiful, large windows were my favorite part of the ceremony, as the sunlight filling the room as you walk in is breathtakingly beautiful (and in my opinion, beats any hotel conference room). Another great thing about the space is that you really don't need to do a lot in terms of decor here, because the venue itself does most of the work for you. There is a quaint park with gorgeous trees nearby where I opted for pre-ceremony photos. My only regret is not bucketing enough time for photos at Felicity before guests arrived. They ended up being very rushed. Please ensure you carve out the appropriate time for photos here - there are too many beautiful spots throughout the church to not take advantage!

Felicity Church exceeded all of my husband's and my expectations for our ceremony and reception. Throughout every stage of planning, Chris promptly responded to my questions and was incredibly helpful in imparting tips from his experience with the venue. My husband and I chose Felicity Church for our wedding because of both the gravity and warmth that the space exudes. We love that it pays homage to its history through careful architectural restoration, while it also entails modern conveniences (like an elevator for anyone who can't make it up the stairs, terrific lighting, modern restrooms, an enormous ice maker and kitchen, and great A/C--a must in NOLA!). The venue truly speaks for itself and elevated what was already such an unbelievably special milestone. As a bonus, we were able to keep our flowers and other decor relatively classic/simple because of the grandeur of the space. The venue also gets AMAZING sunlight, particularly in the late afternoon. I distinctly remember rays of sunshine coming through the stained glass during our ceremony!Other logistics that we loved: we could choose our own vendors, which was a huge bonus to us! Chris kindly offered advice about vendors, but we weren't locked into any alcohol, food, floral, etc. vendors based on the venue's contracts. We found this to be rare compared to other New Orleans venues, and we loved this feature because it allowed us to really make our wedding our own by carefully curating our own details. Also, parking around the venue is a breeze if your guests drive. And for couples interested in doing a second line (and outdoor pictures), nearby Coliseum Square is gorgeous!One more quick note: we had a Jewish wedding, and people of many different faiths have gotten married in the space. Although the space is historically a church, it is now an all-accepting venue! I would recommend this venue a million times over!

We had our wedding ceremony at Felicity Church last month and it exceeded all of our dreams and expectations! Chris, the owner, is a pleasure to work with. He is friendly, helpful and very responsive to any and all questions. Our guests are still commenting about how beautiful the space is! We used a string quartet for our ceremony music and the acoustics in the building added to the ambiance of the evening. We could not have found a better venue in New Orleans for our ceremony. We will cherish the memories we made there to start our life together. Thank you!

Best venue in Lower Garden-possibly all of NOLA. We had our wedding and reception at Felicity on 10/28/17. We fell in love with the venue when we first visited-they have done an amazing job at restoring this gorgeous old church while maintaining its classic style. The exposed brick, stain-glass windows, and polished concrete floors make the space feel so romantic and give it perfect lighting. In addition to the venue being spectacular, Chris is great to work with. He is friendly and accessible for all of your needs. The upstairs room was great for our 75 guest wedding (but could've fit more). We immediately had our second line following the ceremony-and Chris, our planners, and team flipped the space beautifully. I love that they have pews for the ceremony and then re-purpose them for seating during the reception. Chris can also provide up-lighting to set the mood during the reception-from dinner to dance party. Honestly just follow their instagram to see all the fabulous events and weddings they've put on. Its truly a one-in-a-million kind of venue. I feel so lucky we got to have our wedding there-definitely check it out. It books up fast!

I picked Felicity Church for my wedding ceremony because of the gorgeous light and all the beautiful details in the restored building. The space is so beautiful, it doesn't need much decoration. I only added a garland along the front rail and then embraced the original decoration of the historic building. Chris was wonderful to work with and flexible. We stopped in a few times in the months before the wedding, just to show off the beautiful venue to friends and family. Our first look, couple portraits, and wedding party pictures are all beautiful because we took them in the church. Tip: the prettiest spot may be in the ladies' room!

Felicity Church was the most beautiful and unique venue I could have imagined! With an architectural background, this was a dream to have had as our ceremony and reception space. Even more so, Chris was such a fantastic and supportive person to work with! I could not thank him enough for all the work he did not only day of, but throughout our wedding planning. I would recommend Felicity for every couple! It will always hold a special place in our hearts.

We had our dream wedding at Felicity Church on 10/6/17. I searched for the perfect venue in multiple states, and I am so excited we decided on this one. We wanted a natural, vintage/minimal look, and this ticked all the boxes. The downstairs \"fellowship hall\" and outdoor patio are perfect for cocktail hour, and the bridal room was the perfect touch for having some privacy after the ceremony while we ate and signed our license. And the sanctuary.....wow. You can see from the pictures how beautiful it is, but being in there with all the natural light is really something else.Chris was super helpful with everything we needed from start to finish - even when in the weeks before, I felt like I emailed so many times with stupid questions! He and his wife are wonderful & so kind, and we are thankful to have had them there for our wedding. More than anything, when searching for vendors we wanted to find good people to work with, because we wanted to relax and feel at ease on our special day. Even during our procession, right before I entered with my dad, I remember being SO nervous - and Chris and his wife were standing there ready to open the doors for us with big smiles. Thank you, Felicity Church, for the best day of our lives! They are by far the best venue in the city, so book them while you still can! :)

Felicity Church will forever have a special place in our hearts. For starters, my husband and I planned a destination wedding from AZ and Chris was a pleasure to work with. He was always responsive and was an integral part in our wedding day success. As the bride, I did not have the chance to do a site tour of the facility prior to booking, my first time seeing it was 3 days before the wedding and I must say all the beautiful pictures of this place still don't give it the justice it deserves. Our wedding weekend was threatened by the arrival of Hurricane Nate. Chris had two events scheduled back to back before our wedding so I know he was extremely busy. The day before our wedding the city of NO imposed a 6pm curfew and our ceremony was scheduled to begin at 6pm. I immediately contacted Chris and he sprung into action. We had to make a very tough decision to move the ceremony start time up from 6pm to 1 pm due to the curfew but Chris and his team were there to ensure the last minute change would be seamless. I am forever grateful to Chris and all of the vendors that worked together and diligently to make sure our wedding would be as close to planned as possible. Even though our wedding weekend full of stress and chaos, it ended up perfect and we have Chris/Felicity Church to thank for it!

After having our hearts set on, and then being disappointed by, another venue, we stumbled upon Felicity by chance. As soon as we walked in and saw the beautiful exposed brick and the absolutely stunning job that Chris and his wife had done restoring the building, we knew it was the place for us. From unlimited correspondence in the months leading up to the wedding, to letting us walk through the building multiple times to calm my fears, to helping us to self-coordinate a New Orleans wedding from Chicago, Chris was absolutely wonderful to work with. Plenty of vendors assure you that your wedding will be wonderful if you choose them for your special day, but everything about Felicity Church delivered, from start to finish.I'll never forget dancing the night away to \"Shout\" with all of the people I love the most, and not having to worry about ANYTHING the night of my wedding. Would choose Felicity again, and again, and again!

I had my dream wedding at Felicity Church in May 2017. This place is spectacular and was the perfect setting for our wedding. From the exposed brick and wooden beams, the cathedral ceilings and stained glass windows, to the gorgeous, rustic staircases, there is not one inch of this place that isn't picture-worthy. It has so much character that you don't need any extravagant decor. This was a destination wedding for majority of our guests so we wanted something that would capture the essence of New Orleans. Felicity Church did just that and so much more. We held our ceremony and reception here. The upstairs was flipped while he had a cocktail hour downstairs. We had almost 200 guests and the space was easily accommodating. Chris the owner was the greatest to work with. He made an otherwise stressful process as seamless as possible. Thank you Chris for sharing your lovely venue with us and creating memories that will last a lifetime!

The place is a dream. Like the dreams you can't even make up. It's the most beautiful venue I've ever stepped foot in, and to know that the owner, Chris and his wife put their hearts into it, is just the cherry on top. And the cherry on top of that cherry, is that they are the sweetest, most professional, most accommodating, most PERFECT people to work with. I would recommend Felicity Church to anyone and everyone. There is a 100% chance you will love it, and will have zero issues throughout the entire process because they are that amazing. They made our wedding dreams come true, and the venue was even more beautiful every time I walked in the door. I'd give more stars if I could!!

Gosh, where to begin! First & foremost, if you are getting married in New Orleans you are already doing it right. But, if you decide to choose Felicity Church then you REALLY are doing it right. We already planned to have our wedding at the stunning Race & Religious, which is amazing enough. However, having a second line parade was a high priority to my husband and I and we really wanted it to be a parade; not just a walk around the block. My husband and I are also both Catholic and had a hard time finding a Catholic church near R&R to do the parade to. That's where Riki at R&R came in as she suggested Felicity since her and her husband recently got married there.At the time of our first site visit, the church was undergoing renovation but we already loved what we saw. And even better was that Chris was very responsive and helpful from the get-go. My husband and I live in Chicago so when we returned for another site visit a few months later, we couldn't believe how gorgeous the renovations came out; the history of the church was still very much intact but the restoration of the architecture and keeping that distressed beauty was incredible. We knew this was where we had to have our ceremony.Through the months, like several of our vendors, Chris became like a friend more than the church owner. His warmth and excitement for us was wonderful and the attention he paid towards us during the planning process made me feel like he was planning his own wedding! Chris was also incredibly generous by allowing us to ship some items out for the wedding in advance (again, we live in Chicago) to be stored there till our wedding. He was even kind enough to let us leave a few items behind that we didn't want to spend the money on to ship back as we knew we would never use these items again, saying he would find a good home for them; COMPLETELY above & beyond what he needed to do!I would get married in Felicity Church to my husband over and over again because it really is just that fantastic of a space and Chris and his wife are just that awesome!

Someone else here said that getting married at Felicity was the easiest choice they made - we second that emotion. This was a destination wedding for us (March 2017), on a relatively tight timeline (less than 5 months) and walking in to Felicity it was instantly apparent that this space was cool all on its own and wouldn't need a ton of time consuming design interventions to make it feel warm and elegant and memorable - it just IS those things, all on its own. Safe to say we had high standards, but weren't willing to go through all the planning minutiae, and Felicity ticked all the boxes. We wanted a hobbit style wedding (not themed, but that kind of candlelit not too stuffy but a little opulent vibe) and the space captured that perfectly. This place is MEMORABLE for you and for your guests. Particularly because this was a destination wedding we wanted to make sure that the reception didn't feel like we could've had it just anywhere - this is not your average catering facility or open loft space, it has rich history, lovingly restored, and great modern amenities. It also has Chris, who is exactly the kind of person who you'd want to have your back for a wedding, calm, responsive, accommodating, frankly the kind of person you'd want to be friends with. The opposite of the slimier upsell you might encounter in your planning travels. What else...the light! Did we talk about the light? Exchanging vows as the sun lowered through huge stained glass windows, come on. This place manages to feel holy without being tied to a particular religion, elegant without trying too hard, and your guests will be raving about it. Just walk through those big gorgeous doors, you'll see what I mean.

We got married on 2/11/17 and Felicity Church was perfection. It is the most beautiful venue inside and out. The minute you walk up the street, you see this stunning building and the quaint courtyard. The downstairs is modernized with hanging light bulbs, but the original architecture was kept to make you feel the history. I would have booked this venue on the stairs alone because you can see the history, and they are absolutely beautiful and unique. The pews in the sanctuary are originals, and the sanctuary has these high ceilings with the original beams and huge windows. We decided to have our ceremony and reception at Felicity as this was a destination wedding for us, and we knew Chris (owner) would help make our dreams a reality. We had the ceremony with the gorgeous pews upstairs, then we had a Second Line to the downstairs and courtyard while the room got flipped, and we came back upstairs for the reception. Chris was one of the best resources for our wedding in so many ways. He helped plan, try out different and unique floor plans, work with our vendors and give them venue tours… he truly worked with us on every level and was so professional but also extremely kind. On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly thanks to him, and I have never met someone so organized and thorough. I’m so glad I trusted my wedding to him and Felicity. We had so many friends and family coming up to us and commenting on the venue and asking how we found it. The fact that the room was flipped in one hour on the dot from a ceremony to a stunning reception for 150 people, blew our guests out of the water. Chris managed transforming the space and had the amazing tables and pews for us to reuse which gave us a huge savings with rentals. This was such a unique layout, and having our vows said on the stage and then the band perform on it was so visually appealing. Felicity was the best decision we made, and Felicity will always be part of our hearts!

Two big thumbs up and then some: the first time I ever set foot in Felicity Church was for a photographer friend's Christmas party/gallery opening during Felicity's very rough and early days many years ago. From that point on, I couldn't get the unique charm and beauty of Felicity out of my head and when it was time to get married, I knew exactly where I wanted to go. I was delighted to find out that in the two year span Felicity was renovated into the perfect(!) space it is today, while still keeping its unique and antiquated beauty with all of the photogenic nooks and crannies. My husband's family was from out of town and they couldn't stop raving about the space. If you are looking for a venue that is true to New Orleans charm, look no further. From the start, Chris, the owner, was amazingly helpful. I'm a big believer in DIY weddings, and he was an invaluable asset to the wedding planning process. As for the venue itself, the fact that both the ceremony and reception can be held in one location--skipping the travel process between the two--is such a bonus! We didn't have a band, but our 175 guests couldn't stop dancing, so the added benefit of having the stage act as a \"second\"/expanded dance floor was just what this lively group needed! (We like to dance, what can we say!) Overall, I wouldn't change a thing for our big night... it was the perfect venue for charm, old school New Orleans flair, photographic beauty, crowd flow, and dancing. Look no further, and cross your fingers that your date isn't already booked!! Chris, Mike and I thank you for an incredible night none of our guests will soon forget...

My husband and I got married at Felicity Church and it was nothing short of spectacular! My husband and I are both from New Orleans and we wanted a venue that was rustic and historic as well as funky fresh, much like the city itself. We were also looking for a space that could accommodate about 300 guests without feeling crowded. Felicity is truly the most versatile venue there is. The ceremony space flips perfectly into the reception space, with ample room for dancing. In addition there is a space on the bottom floor that was perfect for our cocktail hour. The outdoor courtyard afforded our guests the opportunity to dance to the band under the stars. The historic building is also the perfect backdrop for pictures! The church is beautiful as is. We did not feel the need to do much in the way of decorations. We could not have asked for more. The owner, Chris and his wife were amazing to work with!

This place is unique, historic, beautiful, dramatic and versatile. And your wedding can be all of those things if you wish so... I had my reception/party here back in March 2016 and it was one of the best decisions I made regarding the wedding. Now besides the space being amazing and versatile... and one of the most unique in New Orleans... I have to make this review about Chris (owner) from day 1 he was so easy to work with, talk to and coordinate with. He is a truly understanding flexible guy... and if you ladies/grooms are out there you need to know you need someone like that on your side. We organized multiple walk troughs with vendors, parents, friends, photographer... and he was delightful, flexible and ready to answer every question. He also loves the place, gives you ideas of what other couples have done, what other photographers have done.. if the weather is good what you can do, if the weather is bad what you can do. If you have this instead of that... he has an idea for that too. Not only you have an amazing space for your wedding but you also have a true partner when you are planning it. My wedding was 70 people from different parts of the world... and being able to bring them to such unique place was a dream come true. Thank you for that Chris and Felicity Church!

My brother recently got married at Felicity and it was spectacular. We came in for the wedding from out of town and I can say that it was a wedding we will never forget. The wedding ceremony at Felicity was beautiful, with fantastic light, acoustics and a wonderful location in a quiet neighborhood that really made us feel like we were in ‘real’ New Orleans. Yet, it was a convenient walk from the St. Charles street car and all the buzz on Magazine Street. The feel of Felicity was so warm and welcoming for all, which was perfect given that it was an interfaith wedding. I helped to set up prior to the wedding at Chris was a fantastic help, both in getting everything in place for the ceremony as well as providing some very useful reminders and tips about wedding day in general. My brother and his wife also held their rehearsal dinner at Felicity the night before the wedding and it couldn’t have been more perfect. They used the downstairs space as well as the outside with those festive hanging lights which provided two great spaces for people to eat, talk, and listen and dance to live music. The flexibility of the space made it possible for them to have catered food (including a crawfish boil) and all of the other personal touches that they had hoped for. A fantastic space that I would recommend to anyone.

I can't say enough good things about Felicity Church and its owner, Chris. My husband and I were married there in 2013, before the current renovations were done, but even then this place was incredible. I had an exhausting venue search through New Orleans and was about to give up on my dream of getting married here when I found Felicity Church. It was exactly what I was looking for- beautiful, historical and oozing with New Orleans charm! My husband is a photographer and so natural light and architectural beauty were very important to him for our wedding photos and this place nails it. I actually had both my ceremony and reception at the church, with a cocktail hour downstairs following the ceremony while they flipped the floor upstairs. I was a little nervous about this but it worked out perfect! The owner Chris is so personable and helpful- He and his wife got married there earlier in the year and so he had great personal insight into what works and what doesn't for set ups/ceremonies/etc. His suggestions were always on point. Chris was extremely accommodating when it came to working with our wedding planner and vendors and opening up the church for vendor consultations. And months after my wedding when I was watching my wedding video I even noticed his wife holding the gate open for all of our wedding guests as they second lined into the yard- I'm sure there were even more helpful things they did behind the scenes that I wasn't even aware of!After the wedding I got SO many compliments from guests on the venue- both locals and out-of-towners thought it was such a unique and special place. If I had to plan my wedding all over again I would absolutely choose Felicity Church as my wedding venue again!
