Tucked within the heart of New Orleans’ City Park, Popp Fountain at The Arbor Room offers a romantic, open-air setting that feels completely transportive. With its grand limestone fountain, colonnaded pavilion, and surrounding greenery, this venue brings together historic architecture and lush natural elements for a ceremony space that feels both timeless and alive. It’s ideal for couples who love the outdoors but want their day to feel elevated, intentional, and visually stunning.
Celebrate Your Wedding at Popp Fountain
As a New Orleans wedding videographer, I’m always inspired by how light moves through Popp Fountain’s open courtyard. The fountain itself provides a powerful focal point—framed by soaring columns, mature oaks, and soft green tones that make every frame feel graceful and composed. Whether you’re hosting a ceremony at the fountain or a reception inside The Arbor Room, the space flows seamlessly, giving your day a beautiful visual rhythm.
What makes this venue particularly special is the balance it strikes—airy and natural, but also grounded in history. From wide, cinematic establishing shots to close, emotional moments under the trees, every part of the space gives us layers to work with. It’s a dream for creating wedding films that feel connected to nature, yet structured in style.
For couples drawn to garden settings, timeless design, and outdoor elegance, Popp Fountain offers one of the most cinematic wedding backdrops in New Orleans.
