Imagine a trading floor transformed into a ballroom with 50-foot ceilings with a hand-painted dome depicting a century of trading along the Mississippi River. Imagine that it is all yours for a magical evening enhanced by the culinary expertise of the Windsor Court Hotel.
Tipitina's French Quarter
Imagine your group second-lining to the French Quarter home of legendary New Orleans music, created in the 70s by local enthusiasts. "Second-lining" is what we call dancing along behind a traditional street band, so you'll have Mardi Gras beads, feather masks, and a brass band leading the way.
Tipitina's piano-tinkling patron saint is the late Henry Roseland Byrd, still revered all over the music world as Professor Longhair. Besides fabulous New Orleans music, imagine your guests dancing into surroundings that can be transformed into anything you want, from a Bayou Swamp to a Mardi Gras parade complete with floats and papier-mache people.
New Orleans' Women's Opera Guild Home
Imagine an aristocratic lunch, dinner, high tea or reception in the historic Garden District mansion bequeathed in 1966 by Mrs. Herman de Bachelle Seebold to the Women's Guild of the New Orleans Opera Assocation. It's all you could wish for of Uptown southern style.
The original structure is Greek Revival, with later additions of Italianate design. Imagine touring the stunning rooms furnished with Mrs. Seebold's fine collection of 18th and 19th century European and American furniture, paintings and objects d'art. All you have to do is imagine it, and it's yours for an enchanting day or evening.
