”Heather and I live in a Victorian home in Illinois, built in 1900. Since moving into this house, our passion for finer architecture and antiques has grown significantly. Having said this, our love of traveling to unique cultures has also grown. Heather researched for our location to elope and we saw a lovely opportunity. An elopement at the Magnolia Mansion.
The Mansion was delightfully cool in temperature, yet in my excitement, perspiration won over. My embarrassment and elevated body temperature was no issue at all. I was reminded by all that " you're in New Orleans! "
The Mansion was absolutely lovely and the hospitality was professional, yet warm and inviting as being a guest in your home. Thank you, thank you. We hope to visit your home again. ”

”This day has been so special because of the wonderful Magnolia Mansion, Lyndsey, and Copper. Our story is right out of a classic movie so it was only appropriate we had our wedding here at the mansion. Lyndsey and Copper were great hosts and made us feel at home this weekend. We were both taken with Reverend Tony and his unique and loving style. You can really tell how much he loves “his couples.” The setting was perfect and it was a thrilling adventure. Our day has been 30 years in the making and it became more than special to us.”

“We were hoping for a very intimate and private setting in which to exchange our wedding vows. What we found at Magnolia Mansion was much more than expected. The staff prepared all of our wedding arrangements; all we had to do was show up and spend time together. Our ceremony was the way it should be. About us and the beginning of the rest of our lives together. Thank you to Lyndsey, Reverend Tony, Copper, and Harold for all of your help in making our time here so special.”
