Beautiful & unforgettable venue for a NOLA Wedding
The Historic Swoop-Duggins was the perfect place for my husband and I to hold our wedding celebration! The house is beautiful all on its own and has a lot of interesting history, which was a major draw for us as we wanted to have a very New Orleans-style wedding. The proprietor/GM, Linda Novak, guided us through all the options and offered recommendations and helpful tips for vendors and second line bands. Chef Lisa took wonderful care in helping us create a delicious menu of Chicken and Andouille Jambalaya, blackened Swordfish, fingerling potatoes, house-made focaccia, chilled and grilled shrimp, and a seasonal vegetable salad. She was so attentive to ours and our guests' various dietary restrictions (we received compliments all night and all weekend long, even from locals!). The bar director, Taylor, curated fun and delicious cocktails and mocktails to bring the Nola spirit. Try the Baroness Spritz! Our special events coordinator Meghann and onsite venue coordinator Rashaad, helped us figure out every detail so that we could have a well thought-out and smooth evening curated to our vision. The night ran beautifully! Every person we spoke with had a favorite staff member who made them feel welcomed, at home, and taken care of. They were all wonderful! Special shoutout to Thyme for taking wonderful care of my husband and I all night long- making sure we got to eat the delicious food, had plenty of water and drinks to keep us going, and an overall warm-hearted delight (she was such a gem giving me beautiful words before I walked down the aisle)! My husband, myself, our family, and all of our friends who traveled from near and far, had a beautiful and unforgettable time!

The best wedding venue in NOLA
The Historic Swoop-Duggins House was truly such a one of a kind experience. The staff there made everything so seamless, the food was divine, and the space is just so effortlessly gorgeous. I cannot rave about it enough, I really feel like I had a fairytale wedding thanks to all the wonderful people here. If you are looking for an old-world, moody venue, this is the place!
