There are very few destinations that can combine Old World elegance with down, home Southern hospitality. New Orleans is one such place, so why not give your group the royal treatment?

Imagine this:

You greet your guests with champagne as they walk through the first floor of a historic New Orleans antique gallery. Along the way, a jazz trio plays while guests admire aisle after aisle of glass cases stocked with some of the world’s finest jewelry, china and diminutive antique items.

The evening gets even more appetizing as hand passed hors d’ oeuvres and “Royal-tinis” (a specialty cocktail created exclusively for the event) flow freely and abundantly. The gallery staff then gathers the group and talks briefly about the gallery’s history and some of its most famous pieces including silver crafted by Paul Revere, a pink diamond ring valued at over $1 million and numerous original paintings by some of the most famous artists that ever lived.

Guests are mingling among the rarities as they sample local fare when the doors open to a band that then leads the group through the Impressionist Gallery to the Toulouse Gallery where a bar and fresh seafood display in a pirogue (a Cajun canoe) offers an exquisite presentation. Guests ogle the stunning art on the walls including an original by Monet.

The final transition, again led by the band, takes guests upstairs to the French and English Galleries where they are greeted by another bar, heavy food stations, and artfully displayed desserts.

Enjoy the experience of a company Mardi Gras parade

A night of perfectly planned festivities begins the moment your guests gather and prepare for the experience of a lifetime. Led by a local high school marching band, your “krewe” boards an authentic Mardi Gras float.

Just as they do in traditional Mardi Gras parades, the krewe takes to the city streets with a New Orleans Police escort who will block traffic to get your krewe safely and swiftly to their final destination with all the pomp and circumstance of true Mardi Gras royalty.
