If you are looking for a beautiful, fun and memorable place to get maried in New Orleans, you must go to Elms Mansion. The mansion and the backyard are amazing & beautiful, and my guests can't stop complimening us on the quality of food and service that we received on our wedding night. The food was absolutely delicious & Faith, the owner, is extremely professional and experienced in running weddings so you will not have to worry about anything on your wedding day. I wish I could go back & get married again!
