Ines and Anthony started out with a first look and some portraits in Woldenberg Park by the river, and then we headed over to House of Blues where we captured some portraits of the couple, as well as of the bride and bridesmaids sitting on the bar.
The ceremony, wonderfully officiated by Ines’s father, took place outside in the Voodoo Garden, with the reception upstairs in the Parish Room. The couple’s first dance was great, as was the bride’s dance with her father, who impressed everyone throughout the night with his moves on the floor!
The first House of Blues location opened in Massachusetts in 1992, co-founded by actor Dan Aykroyd. The New Orleans location opened two years later, and is actually the smallest of the 11 House of Blues currently operating, which is understandable given it’s location in the densely-built French Quarter.
The Parish Room has a reception capacity of about 200 guests, as do the Voodoo Garden and Foundation Room. There are other spaces in the venue that can host more guests, and for more intimate gatherings, Big Mama’s Lounge can accommodate 50.
