Underneath the towering trees of the lower garden district, just a block off of Saint Charles Avenue lies one New Orleans' best kept secrets, The New Orleans Women's Opera Guild Home.
Built in 1865, the home served as the Davis/Seebold Residence until 1966 when it became the home of the Women's Guild. In 2005, the home suffered some damage during the after-effects of Hurricane Katrina but has since been restored to it's former glory. Furnished lavishly in 18th and 19th Century European and American furniture, artwork, antiques and object d'art, the home is a great location for weddings, receptions, bridal showers, luncheons, dinners, coffees, or any social or corporate gathering.
The side yard is a perfect place for wedding ceremonies or picnics!
Upon entrance the grand foyer makes an elegant statement.
The living room is beautifully furnished and features a grand piano.
The sitting room features an expanse of windows and a crystal chandelier.
Through the sitting room, the formal dining room features stained glass windows and fireplace.
The solarium to the back of the living room has exquisite marble flooring!
Upstairs, the gentleman's rooms features leather couches and is the perfect place to hide grooms and groomsmen before a wedding ceremony.
Likewise, the bride's room is right across the hall and has a vanity and full length mirror!
The Opera Guild Home is one of New Orleans best kept secrets and is an amazing value!
We just coordinated and catered a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception here a couple of weeks ago.
It is definitely worth checking out!
