Private Events in the French Quarter

Preservation Hall is proudly available for all types of private events in New Orleans.

As one of the most intimate and exclusive venues in the world, Preservation Hall has served as the French Quarter’s home of traditional New Orleans jazz for more than sixty years. Built in the early 1800s, this historic Creole mansion has been home to artists, poets, and musicians for two centuries.

From the moment your guests walk through our historic wrought iron gates and into our legendary performance space, the tone of your event is set. Virtually unchanged since it opened, the room breathes with the joy and austerity of the generations of New Orleans musicians who have played for ecstatic audiences, since before we opened our doors in 1961.

If you are looking to host a special event, wedding, corporate meeting, party, reception, school group or tour accompanied by the best New Orleans jazz performers in the city, look no further than Preservation Hall.
