River City Plaza & Tent

Some enchanted evening… Guests sip cocktails while watching the steamboats go by, or dance the night away under a majestic, gleaming pavilion. There’s no better place to discover the essence of New Orleans than the riverfront — still the heart and soul of this city’s history. And nowhere else to experience it like the River City Plaza.

Create an unforgettable night along the Mississippi River.

Magic will be in the air as you lead your guests out to the riverfront from the elegant River City Ballroom. The River City Plaza takes you right to where the city meets the river, where your guests will experience the majesty of the Mighty Mississippi as they enjoy an unforgettable night under the dramatically lit twin bridges. Unique in all of downtown, the Plaza is an open-concept space along the river, featuring a 7,000 sq foot vaulted pavilion on our private wharf. The Plaza is perfect for weddings, receptions, and any other event that’s just asking for fresh air, night breezes and stunning views of the river!
