Special Events At A New Orleans Mansion Hotel

By Paul Ward


When making a trip to the Crescent City, there are a number of choices when it comes to lodging. One of which includes a stay at a New Orleans Mansion Hotel. In most cases, these upscale hotels are located in the infamous French Quarter. Whereas, there are also some lovely Bed and Breakfasts operating out of historic homes in the area.

A favorite for weddings has often been the Elms, located right on the St. Charles streetcar line, it has a lot to offer when it comes to special events. For example, a number of people have chosen the location so that the bride and groom can arrive on a decorated streetcar. Whereas, there are others whom choose to arrive in more equine style on a Horse and Carriage. In either case, these arrivals often set the tone for a beautiful and memorable event.

From using the finest flatware and dishware to serving amazing gourmet delicacies, the bride, groom and guests will all feel like royalty. When planning, expert consultants are available to help coordinate wedding plans from the nuptials to the reception and beyond.

As part of wedding and receptions, the mansion uses only the finest china, flat ware and glass ware. In addition, the area is decorated with mansion candelabras, flowers and other decorations selected by the bride and groom. As a result, the bride, groom, wedding party and guests often feel like royalty.

In addition, the home has an interesting history. First established in mid-1800s, the home has served as a residence, German Consulate and now a mansion, hosting special events. There was even a German Consul at one point whom used the property to report on boats leaving the New Orleans ports for the Gulf of Mexico.

A relative of Jefferson Davis by wedlock, Watson was part of a convoy which fled Richmond in 1865, along with President Davis. After which, he became a businessman dealing in wine and tobacco. Later, Watson became president of a local streetcar company until the time of his death in 1901.

Later, the Elms, as it is now known, became a Consulate to German citizens up until War World II. In one case, a novelist and captain used the property to warn others of ships departing from New Orleans. As a result, the home holds a lot of history with regards to the Civil War and during the time leading up to World War II.

Later, the elder John Elms bought the home and put a lot of hard work into making it the mansion it is known for today. After Mr. Elm's passed in 1968, the Elms family began using the property for weddings and other special events. Currently, the mansion is owned and operated by a third generation Elm's family and can be viewed and reserved for private events upon request.
