What guests say about

The Royal Sonesta New Orleans 

We recently had our daughter’s wedding reception at the Royal Sonesta. The reception far exceeded our expectations. Olivia Sage-El worked with us tirelessly from start to finish. She managed all the guest rooms, the menus for lunch and for the reception and was an incredible problem solver all along the way. The chef modified several of the food options to make them gluten free for my daughters and other guests with gluten restrictions. Olivia had a positive, calming attitude and was masterful at coordinating with all my other vendors. The night of the reception Olivia and her team did an amazing job to create a flawless event that left all my guests raving about the delicious food and the beautiful venue. Having the reception at this gorgeous hotel was a great choice. I would highly recommend the Royal Sonesta to anyone who is looking for a perfect venue.

Jeanne, Mother of the BrideFrom the Knot

Fabulous location for any wedding, only twenty minutes from the airport, once at hotel all your guests can walk everywhere! Olivia and her team, Theresa, were the BEST at organizing the pre party on Friday night – Bourbon Balcony suite was great- food delicious, atmosphere fun and energetic. The cocktail & reception at the Grande Ballroom was Amazing! Couldn’t have done it without Olivia! The band -Funky Monkeys was a huge hit! The entire wedding was such a success, I can’t say enough great things about the Royal Sonesta, if you want a stress free wedding – I highly recommend Royal Sonesta for all your wedding needs!

Jill, BrideFrom the Knot

I can honestly say everyone at The Royal Sonesta, the parking attendants, the bellman, the concierge, front desk, sales, catering, and all of the staff at the wedding reception were phenomenally impressive!
