The barn at Love's Farm is one of my favorite venues! As a caterer, the kitchen is a beautiful and fully functional kitchen. It makes my job much easier when we can work in an area that accommodates our every need. The entire venue is beautiful, well kept and well managed. The owners are wonderful and very easy to work with. I highly recommend this venue for a wedding or any type of event!! We are always excited when we are hired to work at The barn at Love's Farm!!!!!

Bill and the team at Marigny Opera House were a breeze to work with! He was very thorough and responsive when we had any questions and his spirit in general was so kind. We wanted a venue with true New Orleans history and beauty, and the MOH provided that no matter if we were out front, inside, or in the courtyard. If you're looking for a venue outside of the Quarter, we HIGHLY recommend. Our guests were very impressed, and we can't wait to return to experience some of their performing arts shows. Thank you MOH!
