Rosy’s Jazz Hall

Rosy's Jazz Hall is an event venue at 500 Valence Street in Uptown New Orleans. It combines a two-story atrium, a courtyard and an outdoor patio, with hardwood floors, brick walls and a mix of Art Deco, Victorian and Art Nouveau design.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

GLW recommends Rosy's Jazz Hall for couples who want one venue to handle the ceremony, the food and the bar. Events are fully catered in house, and the all-inclusive packages cover the main practical items. That keeps planning simple and lets you focus on the personal details of the day. The look of the building, with its brick, wood and layered design, also needs little extra decoration.

Ceremonies

Ceremonies are held in the atrium under the canopy of two ficus trees, with an indoor French Quarter style balcony overlooking the space. The courtyard, with gas lamps and jasmine in bloom in spring, is also available for weddings. The outdoor patio gives you another space to use.

Receptions and food

The in-house chefs prepare menus ranging from modern dishes to New Orleans classics and Old World cuisine. Buffets are served on china, glass and silver. All-inclusive packages include an open call brand bar, hot and cold hors d'oeuvres, passed and stationed, plus tables, chairs and white linens. Menus and drinks options are listed on the venue website. If you have guests with dietary needs, raise them early so the chefs can plan around them.

Getting there and the area

The venue is on Valence Street in Uptown, away from the busier French Quarter. The area is mainly residential, with Magazine Street close by for restaurants and shops. Taxis and ride shares are the easiest way to arrive, and the venue can advise on parking. Because Uptown is quieter than the Quarter, it suits couples who want an evening away from the tourist crowds. Visitors can easily add time to explore the rest of the city.
