This historical building on Conti Street in the French Quarter is one of New Orleans most beloved traditions and most unique special event venues.
Downstairs, you can wander the mysterious halls of the museum as the story of New Orleans unfolds before your eyes. Beautiful costumes, accurate décor, and unbelievable stories are woven into a history unlike any other city! Begin 300 years ago as you meet our local legends: Iberville and Bienville discovering the swampy city, the duc d'Orleans planning New Orleans, the casket girls, Napoleon as he sells Louisiana, Jean Lafitte the pirate, Andrew Jackson in the Battle of New Orleans, Marie Laveau and her voodoo dancers, Mardi Gras Zulu King Weatherspoon, Louis Armstrong and Pete Fountain. Plus the eerie Haunted Dungeon!
Upstairs, the Legend Room is the perfect spot for your event. Built in 1890, the Wax is a perfect example of turn of the century French Quarter architecture: cypress windows, spot sandblasted brick walls, original heartwood pine floors, exposed wooden white-washed beams with indirect lighting and a skylight for accent. They even offer tarot card and palm readers, and costumed tour guides! The Legend Room can accommodate up to 300 for seated dinners & 500 for standing cocktail.
But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the biggest advantage to this charming venue. The events manager, Beth, is one of the best in the city. She's a responsive, easy to work with straight shooter. And is one of the most valuable resources you'll have upon contracting at the Wax.An event at the Wax is a guaranteed success.
