I think I visited every ballroom and half the venues in the city, looking for an event space that could fit my large guest list without sacrificing New Orleans history and charm. I’m so glad I found the Capitol on Baronne!!!! It ticked all my boxes: elegant space that would wow both local and out-of-town guests, a prime location near the French Quarter, delicious food, and plenty of room to party! I can’t say a big enough thank you to Brittani and Michele for their guidance! I knew the venue would look spectacular, but their industry knowledge and relationships with vendors made my experience even better than I imagined. I can be a bit indecisive but I trusted their advice and they never steered me wrong. I can’t imagine planning a wedding without them!!!! Reviewed on 19-12-2023

I have been working with Michele and Brittani for over two decades. They continue to be the most professional team in the region. There is no detail that escapes them, and their work at The Capital is exemplary. There is not a review high enough that I can pass along for them - both as professionals and people. The Capital, as a venue, is a unique look back at a classic New Orleans venue the way they used to be - elegant! The grand ballroom is nothing short of breathtaking, and the decor can be set to the desires of the client. Sensational lighting and food options set the venue apart from all others.Please do yourself a favor and strongly consider this dynamic team and venue for your next event. Reviewed on 06-12-2023

denise gaines(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-01-2019 If you are looking for an elegant venue, look no further. My daughter had her wedding reception here in January. I received compliment after compliment on how beautiful the reception was. This space is elegant to begin with, then adding flowers and candles made it breathtaking. The venue staff, Michele and Brittani, were a pleasure to work with and made everything easy for us. They coordinated with our wedding planner and vendors and stayed for the reception duration to ensure that the evening went smoothly. Seeing this place in person is a must, the pictures just don't do it justice! Reviewed on 15-02-2019
