What makes an event unforgettable?
It’s not just the space, the décor, or the lighting — it’s the people behind the scenes… and the food that brings everyone together.
At The Chicory, our team is at the heart of everything we do. From setup to service, every detail is handled with care, intention, and a whole lot of heart. That’s what sets us apart — and what makes each event feel effortless.
One of our favorite standout features? In-house catering. That means the same team setting the tone is also setting the table. From passed bites to beautifully styled stations, our food is made to match the moment — thoughtful, seasonal, and made to be remembered.
These are a few of our favorite snapshots from the Open House — a little taste of what we do best. Because here, we’re not just hosting events — we’re crafting experiences. And food? That’s always at the center of it.

If you’re still following along, welcome back to our Summer Series. Next stop: The Gallery ✨
Overlooking the charm of Fulton Street, The Gallery at The Chicory is a little bit of everything and that’s what makes it so special. Truly… what can’t this space do?
Bright and open, it’s hosted everything from curated brand activations to candlelit garden party moments like this one. It feels modern and timeless all at once. A true chameleon that shifts to match the vision.
One of our favorite features? You can create your own courtyard right outside its doors and still host an intimate gathering that feels easy, elevated, and unforgettable.
A huge thank you to the creative partners who brought this one to life! Be sure to explore their work and find a little inspiration for your own celebration.

A little inspiration from one of our favorite evenings this season ✨
Last week’s Open House was filled with layered tablescapes, glowing candlelight, seasonal bites, and thoughtful details around every corner. The Gallery carried its own atmosphere while still feeling connected to the heart of the building.
These evenings are always a reminder that events are about more than just beautiful spaces. It’s about the connections and creating the moments that make people want to stay in a little longer.
A huge thank you to the talented vendor team who brought the night to life. 🤍

Cinco de Mayo at The Chicory
🌮 A Taco Station, but make it elevated.
Fresh, flavorful and made to impress because your guests deserve more than basic.
🍹 Add handcrafted margaritas with a little spice and a lot of style.
✨ Here every event is a celebration. Let’s plan your next one.
Always scouting the best venues for my couples — and some I already know by heart. 🤍 Heading back to The Chicory for their open house this Friday evening and I cannot wait to walk through this gorgeous space again with fresh eyes.
If you're a New Orleans couple still searching for your perfect venue — this one is worth a serious look. And if you're a fellow vendor who'll be there Friday, come find me! I'd love to connect.
Ps. — I still have select dates available for fall 2026. If you've been thinking about reaching out, now is a great time. Link in bio to get started.

🐩 The dog made it down the aisle.
✨ The groom barely held it together.
🎺 The second line shut the whole place down.
@sajetsmith & @dsmittiee knew exactly what they were doing. Effortless, intentional, unforgettable. The Chicory just set the stage for it all 🌟
Celebrating an incredible woman this Women’s Month 💐
Our GM Jenna has been the heart of The Chicory for 13 years, and it truly shows in everything she does. She’s helped grow this business from the ground up, pouring her time, energy, and passion into not only our clients, but also our team—who she treats like family.
Jenna is the kind of leader who always goes above and beyond. She’s driven, inspiring, and somehow still the funniest person in the room. No matter how busy things get (and they definitely get busy), she shows up with the same dedication and care every single time.
And when I say busy—I mean it. She’s a mom to three amazing kids, ranging from teens to toddlers, and somehow manages eight Spirit Halloween stores during the fall… right in the middle of wedding season. She also serves on the board for NACE, continuing to give back to and support the events industry in such a meaningful way.
Saturdays off? Not her style. If she’s not running an event, she’s supporting friends and their businesses without hesitation.
@jennarosebonura , you are truly one of a kind. Thank you for everything you do for all of us—you make this place what it is 🤍
