Civic Theatre New Orleans

Located in the heart of downtown New Orleans, the Civic Theatre was opened in 1906 and functions as a 1,200 capacity state-of-the-art concert venue for incredible local and international performers. Modular flooring allows the Civic to transform from tiered concert seating to an awe-inspiring reception space for your wedding day! With over 10,000 square feet of event space the Civic can host elegant seated dinners or traditional NOLA style receptions for 100 to 450 guests. Just one block from Poydras Street in the city’s Central Business District, the Civic is walking distance to the French Quarter and surrounded by hotels and attractions for your visiting guests! The Civic's beautiful original all white plaster work and unique architectural touches have been carefully preserved to create an elegant, distinctively New Orleans setting. The harmony between historic architecture and our state-of-the-art audiovisual capabilities, sets the Civic in a category all its own. Our Hospitality Team can help you create a floor plan that perfectly represents you and your vision! Our list of preferred vendors is available to complete the design for your wedding day. They have worked in the space previously and are trusted resources. Our experienced staff and highly skilled vendors are dedicated to creating a uniquely New Orleans experience for you and all of your guests.
