Mia and Kevin
Wedding at Immaculate Conception and Latrobe’s

This Chicago couple started out with getting ready shots at the Roosevelt Hotel, before heading across the street to beautiful Immaculate Conception for the ceremony. The couple chose the best possible way to get everyone to Latrobe’s in the French Quarter for the reception… a second line, led by the Kinfolk Brass Band, and I loved how throughout the rest of the evening I overheard countless guests telling each other how much fun that was.

Latrobe’s is a gorgeous wedding venue already, but the artists from Leaf & Petal and Firefly Ambiance did a spectacular job making it look utterly amazing! Kevin’s favorite jazz band, Fritzels, provided the entertainment, and at the end of the night a pedicab backed right into the carriageway to whisk the couple away!

The wedding was expertly coordinated by Girls in Black Events, who were a pleasure to work with.

About Immaculate Conception

The city of New Orleans has no shortage of beautiful and awe-inspiring old churches. This wedding took place Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, also known as the Jesuit Church, located on Barronne Street in downtown. The original church on this site was built in the 1850s, but after it was severely damaged due to nearby construction projects, it had to be demolished, and a new church was completed in 1930, which included some materials from the original structure that church officials had been able to salvage.

Reception Options in the Downtown Area

Several popular New Orleans wedding reception venues are conveniently located very close to Immaculate Conception, including the Federal Ballroom right around the corner, the Ritz-Carlton and several other nice hotels within a few blocks, and the Roosevelt Hotel directly across the street. And being located just a block or so off Canal Street, the church is close enough to the French Quarter that it is within a reasonable walking distance to numerous other venues.

The newest New Orleans wedding reception venue in the area is The Capital On Baronne, which is right around the corner and is able to facilitate weddings with very large guest counts.
