Your New Orleans wedding weekend, all on one block.
Take all three CastleDay villas for the weekend and your wedding party, family and closest guests stay on the same block, with getting-ready space, courtyards for the welcome party, and three private pools. Nobody else is on site.
Your venue
Marry at your venue and stay here.
Most couples find CastleDay while they are still comparing venues. Whichever one you choose, the wedding party stays on one block in the Bywater, with getting-ready space and a private heated pool at each villa. These are the venues we have written up so far.

The short answer
One block, the whole weekend.
Hotel room blocks spread your people across floors and lobbies. A CastleDay buyout keeps up to 90 guests together: three 12-bedroom villas, getting-ready space for the wedding party, kitchens and dining tables for 18 for the welcome dinner, and private outdoor space for a first look or the welcome party. Larger gatherings need written approval from the team ahead of time.
Most couples book a three-night weekend nine to fourteen months out. A brass band can be booked through us, and outside vendors (bartenders, decorators, hair and makeup) come to the villa. One couple ran their wedding weekend on all three villas; the story, vendors and costs are in the wedding weekend playbook. Another made a single villa the family home base, from a 34-person family dinner to a 150-person farewell brunch; her account is in the one-villa playbook.
