The Historic Swoop-Duggins House

The Historic Swoop-Duggins House is a private event venue in New Orleans' Central Business District, set in a historic three-storey brick house. Organisers can book the private second floor, which has its own entrance, or add the courtyard, ground-floor dining room and bar to create a larger event across several areas. Period features, a gallery balcony and distinctive interiors give the property a characterful setting for celebrations and business gatherings.

The venue welcomes weddings, ceremonies, receptions, elopements, rehearsal dinners and bridal events, as well as birthdays, anniversaries and other private celebrations. Corporate uses include dinners, networking receptions, company parties, executive meetings and product launches. Its location near downtown hotels and the convention centre also suits organisers arranging a reception alongside a conference or trade show.

Event support is available for local and destination organisers. The team can help coordinate catering, bar service, entertainment, flowers, décor and transport, and can recommend local suppliers. Food options include appetisers, buffet-style meals, plated dinners and food stations, with bar packages ranging from hosted drinks to open or cash-bar arrangements. The venue also offers event coordination and can assist with audio-visual arrangements for business functions.

With flexible spaces, in-house food and drink options, and planning assistance, the house can accommodate events with different formats and levels of service. Organisers can enquire about a venue tour and discuss the combination of rooms, catering and other arrangements that best suits their guest list and occasion.
