Longue Vue House & Gardens is one of the most refined and peaceful wedding venues in New Orleans. Located just minutes from downtown, this historic estate offers lush formal gardens, reflecting pools, and elegant architecture that feels more like a European destination than an urban venue. It’s a space designed for celebration, but it also carries a rare sense of stillness—a perfect setting for couples who want a wedding that feels both graceful and grounded.
Celebrate Your Wedding at Longue Vue
As a New Orleans wedding videographer, Longue Vue is one of my favorite venues to capture on film. The way the light filters through the oaks, the movement of sheer drapery in the garden breeze, the reflection of florals in the fountains—it’s a sensory-rich space that lends itself to soft, romantic, timeless storytelling.
Ceremonies in the gardens feel intimate, even with larger guest counts, and the estate provides a natural rhythm for the day—from first looks beneath the trees to champagne toasts on the lawn and elegant dinners under string lights or inside the museum. The natural pacing, rich textures, and open space allow for storytelling that unfolds slowly and beautifully.
For couples who want their wedding film to feel like a piece of art—personal, composed, and emotionally resonant—Longue Vue is one of the most cinematic spaces New Orleans has to offer.
Why We Love Filming at Longue Vue
Longue Vue offers both ceremony and reception packages, with flexible options for using the gardens, the estate interiors, or both. Most couples can expect pricing to begin in the mid four-figure to low five-figure range, depending on the season, guest count, and use of the property.
Filmmaker Insight: The golden hour light at Longue Vue is exceptional—soft and diffused through the gardens, with long, romantic shadows that give your footage a natural painterly feel. I always recommend scheduling your ceremony to align with that magic hour.
