Degas House

Degas House offers event planners a historic setting in New Orleans for weddings, receptions and a range of private and business gatherings. The property is associated with French artist Edgar Degas, who stayed in the city in the 1870s, and now operates as a museum house as well as an event venue.

The venue has several spaces to choose from, including grand parlours, function rooms, a gallery, a breakfast room and an outdoor courtyard. These areas can suit celebrations such as wedding ceremonies and receptions, rehearsal dinners, bridal and baby showers, reunions and other private parties. The house's wedding offering includes a courtyard ceremony setting and indoor reception space. Tables, chairs and a dance floor are available for celebrations, while planners can shape the wider look of the event to suit their plans.

For organisations, Degas House can host meetings, corporate functions, seminars, lectures, lunches and dinner parties. Its historic interiors and artworks provide a distinctive backdrop for gatherings that call for more character than a conventional meeting room. Event and meeting packages, availability and venue arrangements can be discussed directly with the team.

The property also operates as a bed and breakfast, with guest rooms in the house, which may be useful when planning events involving visitors from out of town. Guided history tours and its museum identity add another dimension to the setting. Degas House is suited to planners looking for a heritage venue that combines indoor event rooms with an outdoor courtyard in a central New Orleans location.
