The Mazant

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

With 5,000+ sq ft of living and event space as well as 1/3 acre of gardens, The Mazant is a historic mansion located in the heart of New Orleans' Bywater arts district - and about 1.5 miles from the French Quarter (30 minutes walking or 8 minutes by Uber). We are close to Bacchanal, The Joint, The Country Club, Elizabeth's, and The Music Box. It's perfect for family reunions, wedding parties, company off-sites, and other large groups.

We had an incredible wedding weekend at the Mazant this past March. Everything about the place was beautiful, and our overall experience met all of our needs and exceeded all of our expectations. We had booked the Mazant sight unseen based upon a recommendation from our wedding planner, who had herself gotten married there. We weren't exactly sure how it would be in real life, and we are beyond grateful for her recommendation and that we took the leap! We rented the whole place for ourselves and for some of our wedding party to sleep there. We had 18 people (all adults with a mix of couples and friends) staying there, and it never felt crowded. Each room is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. The kitchen and overall common space layout is delightful and so well designed. They have everything you might need for large events (LOTS of fridge space). The pool and hot tub and outdoor seating areas are divine. On Friday night we hosted our welcome event (160 people) in the yard, and it was exactly what we envisioned. On Saturday we had our ceremony (170) in the yard, and it was also perfect. We had enough room for most people to sit, and about 20-30 standing in the back. We then second lined from the Mazant to our reception location. Interacting with Jeff the owner and Kevin the house manager was great - they were both super helpful, responsive, and organized. We are already talking about coming back and renting this space for friend or family trips!

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married at Paradigm in April 2023, from the day we booked until our wedding, the staff was outstanding, responsive, and helpful beyond our wildest expectations. The tasting and menu creation felt very personal and considerate of our needs and dietary restrictions. The day of coordination was smooth and our guests consistently mentioned that the venue feels like a movie, because it was so beautiful. A perfect spring wedding spot easily held 75 guests with room to spare. Paradigm was there through every step of the planning process and helped us create the day that we really wanted. Can't recommend this space highly enough. If I could get married there again next weekend I would!
