We had an awesome time using the gym for a bachelor party game day! Hedy and her team were super helpful and accommodating and the facility was well located and in great shape. Sound system was great and easy to use. Hedy was a wonderful, gracious host and even gave us some recommendations of things to do in NOLA for the rest of our trip! Highly recommend!

We rented out the event space last minute. Le Space is a lovely studio, everyone really liked the ambience. Lesly was helpful and informative, everything ran smoothly! Would rent out again.

I reached out to Nick after attending a function in this space to book my birthday party. Nick was prompt, knowledgeable, and communicative throughout the entire process. The space was perfect - Jimmy (our on-site manager for the night of the event) and Heather (our bartender) brought the perfect level of energy and vibe to the space and really helped everything go without a hitch. We brought our own DJ setup and used the space’s sound system, which was excellent, and Heather was a master of managing the bar and helping batch cocktails before and during the event. If you want a small, local space and want to work with consummate professionals who truly care about making your event special, I can’t recommend this place enough. We’ll definitely be back in the future.

We held a bachelor party here and it was the perfect location. The space was just the right size for our group and it has comfortable furniture and great decor. We also hired a jazz pianist to play for us while we hung out and sipped whiskey. Kelder made sure that we had everything we needed and communication with her leading up to and during our event was great. Keith behind the bar took care of all of our whiskey needs. And the whiskey was very good! A few of us had some good quality cigars as well. While we weren’t there for a production shoot, I can say for sure that it would be a perfect location for a whiskey bar shoot. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area. Thanks to Kelder for hosting our party in your awesome whiskey bar!

My former boss rented out this space and held a small event. The space was exactly what I expected and for a more than reasonable price definitely recommend!

Saving Money on an Event in New Orleans

While planning an amazing event in New Orleans is fun, you can save money by having a few smart tips up your sleeve.

Go off-peak when booking a venue.

Although it can't always be avoided, try to skip booking your special event when there's a high demand for venues, such as if there's a festival or Mardi Gras taking place in New Orleans. Don't experience FOMO at your favorite venue — book early because places run out really fast!

Search for alternative spots.

Are you on a tight party budget? No worries; you'll be able to find beautiful New Orleans event venues such as dance studios, secluded apartments, condos, or Creole cottages on Giggster. You can also go the route of choosing a minimalist location and cheaply decorating it to bring it to life.

Can you hire student photographers?

Achieve the best party snaps by hiring student photographers instead of professionals, as they'll offer competitive rates while giving you a quality product, so it's a win-win situation. You'll also make valuable connections in the city for future events.

Serve a dessert menu.

If you're throwing a birthday bash or other intimate gathering, save money by only serving your guests desserts instead of a full meal. Hey, it's a fun way to indulge on your special occasion. And, you can make the most of the city's famous sweet treats like pralines and king cake.
