Outdoor Garden Weddings in New Orleans
Why couples choose Paradigm Gardens
Paradigm Gardens is a fully outdoor garden wedding venue in New Orleans. A true hidden gem in the middle of the city with a lush landscape bursting with vibrant colors, and of course the baby goats! We provide a true farm-to-fork experience, wood-fire cooking, and custom menus designed by the amazing Chef Pat.
The venue at a glance (capacity, seasons, curfew)
We host weddings up to 150 - 200 guests (depending on layout and activations). Our primary wedding seasons are February–May and September–December, with limited exceptions. Events end by 10:00pm.
Food Program
Catering at Paradigm Gardens is exclusive and fully customizable. We help you build out your dream menu with our master chef. This includes the “tasting”, where our Event Planning Manager sits down with you and your partner and taste delicious dishes to help finalize the menu. Our team delivers wood-fire, custom 5-star menus with a farm-to-fork approach, including fresh ingredients grown on-site. We can accommodate all dietary restrictions.
Bar Program
We offer bar fully-customizable bar packages all the way up to full bar. Our most popular package is our “Paradigm limited full bar” (red/white wine, bubbly, beer selections, and two scratch-made garden cocktails with unique liquor bases). No BYOB available.
What’s included
Your venue rental includes: ambient and logistical lighting (string lights, tiki torches, spotlights), three built bathrooms (one sized for wheelchair access), two hand-crafted bars, dinnerware (plates, forks, knives, spoons, dinner napkins, jar glassware), food and bar menu signage, on-site staff (one security, one bartender, one venue coordinator, kitchen staff, Back of House), brick pathways built for wheelchairs, and PYGMY GOATS.
Rain Plan
We work exclusively with Tenterprise, who knows every square inch of our venue and does an amazing job so that you can rest easy on your special day. The lights get taken down and put back up under the tent to keep the magical garden vibe.
A deposit on a 40’x40’ tent for the main area is required (white and clear top options). Other tents for the other areas are available but not required. The deposits guarantee inventory, so you have nothing to worry about even in the unlikely event of rain.
Location
We’re proudly and centrally located in Central City New Orleans, less than five minutes from Downtown, the French Quarter, Uptown, and the Warehouse District. There is a large parking lot behind Paradigm and ample street parking.
