Race + Religious is one of the most iconic and emotionally resonant wedding venues in New Orleans. Tucked between the Lower Garden District and the river, this 1800s-era compound brings together rustic textures, candlelit charm, and intimate spaces that feel like poetry in motion. With layered architecture, vine-covered walls, and that unmistakable French Quarter soul, it’s a venue built for couples who want a wedding that’s as meaningful as it is visually unforgettable.
Celebrate Your Wedding at Race + Religious
As a New Orleans wedding videographer, Race + Religious stands out for its texture, soul, and depth. The venue feels alive—with weathered brick, flickering candles, and lush courtyards that create an intimate atmosphere no ballroom could replicate. Every corner offers something unique: a sun-drenched staircase, a moody parlor, or a garden that feels like a scene from a European romance.
The flow of the space is perfect for storytelling. Ceremonies often unfold under the open sky, followed by cocktails along the pool and dancing beneath string lights and centuries-old balconies. It’s a venue that encourages natural movement and heartfelt moments—ideal for creating a wedding film that feels immersive, emotional, and true to you.
Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a full weekend celebration, Race + Religious gives you the space—and the soul—to make your wedding feel entirely personal and endlessly cinematic.
Why We Love Filming at Race + Religious
Race + Religious is a boutique venue with a strong design aesthetic, and its pricing reflects the exclusivity and flexibility of the space. Most couples can expect rental fees to begin in the low-to-mid five-figure range, with custom options available for single-day or full weekend use of the compound.
Filmmaker Insight: If you’re planning to use the full space, I recommend a ceremony that begins just before golden hour—this allows us to capture soft courtyard light, romantic dusk interiors, and candlelit celebrations that look absolutely timeless on film.
