The Cannery

The Cannery is a New Orleans venue for weddings, private celebrations and corporate events. Its more than 12,000 square feet of flexible space can be arranged for occasions ranging from intimate dinners to large receptions, with layouts tailored to the guest list and event format. The venue’s open ballroom and adjoining rooms can accommodate seated meals, cocktail gatherings, presentations, fashion shows, fundraisers and trade shows. For weddings, couples can host a ceremony and reception, with a private wedding suite available for the wedding party before guests arrive.

Organisers can work with the venue team to plan the room layout and adapt the setting to suit their event. The facilities include adjustable LED lighting, a stage, a sound system, flat-screen televisions and an HD projector with a large drop-down screen, making the space suitable for both celebrations and presentations. The venue also provides off-street parking and wheelchair-accessible facilities, and is a short walk from the Carrollton Avenue streetcar line.

Food service is available through Toulouse Gourmet Catering, the venue’s sole in-house caterer. Menus can be customised for the occasion, with options planned around each event’s requirements. The Cannery hosts weddings and receptions as well as rehearsal dinners, showers, mitzvahs, quinceañeras, cocktail parties, dinners, holiday gatherings, conferences, meetings, award ceremonies and nonprofit events. Its combination of adaptable rooms, event equipment, catering and planning support gives organisers one location for a wide range of occasions in Mid-City New Orleans.
