Audubon Tea Room

Audubon Tea Room is an event venue within Audubon Zoo in New Orleans, offering indoor and outdoor spaces for weddings, receptions, corporate gatherings and private celebrations. Its ballroom has a grand, open feel, with high ceilings and hardwood floors, while the adjoining veranda and private garden give organisers options for ceremonies, drinks receptions and outdoor moments. The venue's setting among historic oak trees brings a sense of greenery and separation from the city without taking guests far from Magazine Street.

The room can be arranged for seated meals or standing receptions, and the venue publishes capacity information for different event formats. Depending on the layout, indoor receptions can host up to 450 guests, while indoor and outdoor arrangements can accommodate up to 750. Seated dinners are also possible, with the final capacity depending on whether dancing is included. Free on-site parking is available, and the venue can be booked for events during the day or evening.

Food and drink are provided by Dickie Brennan & Co., Audubon's exclusive catering partner for its event venues. This gives planners an in-house route for arranging catering alongside the venue booking. The Audubon events team can discuss availability and help organisers plan the details, including catering and ceremony arrangements. With a ballroom, garden areas, dedicated event support and established catering on site, Audubon Tea Room suits planners seeking a distinctive New Orleans location for a wedding, gala, business luncheon or other celebration.
