Dear Future Client
Several years ago, just as I moved into my current position at Republic, I had the privilege of helping one of my very best friends plan her wedding. I didn’t want her to feel pressured to choose Republic just because I work for the venue, so I helped her narrow things down to 5 choices and scheduled a day of tours and tastings. After viewing some truly amazing spaces, we both came away from those site visits with a common sentiment---though excited for the prospects, there was a sense of slight disappointment. Most venues had standard packages with cookie-cutter floor plans and a laundry list of rules and limitations that made us feel like the fun of planning and getting creative would be lost on limited options and someone telling us “no”.
Read MoreThat was the moment it really clicked for me that I never want our clients and guests to feel that way, and that every single event should be unique to its host, its purpose, and its guests. At Republic NOLA, we strive to customize things as much as possible and focus on saying “yes” to solutions instead of “no” to challenges. The fact that we are locally owned and operated by a small core team allows us to be flexible and creative, and I want that ingenuity and inventiveness to radiate through every event we produce. Whether it’s making sure a couple’s personality is reflected in their wedding décor, or imagining innovative new ways to brand the venue for a corporate event, finding the unique-factor is so very important to me.
After a lot of discussion and me asking “are you sure??!” about a dozen times, my friend ended up booking her wedding at Republic NOLA. She and her husband still regularly refer to it as one of the best nights of their lives, and I know for me, it was truly one of the most special events I have ever had the pleasure of producing. After all the planning is said and done, making memories is really what it’s all about, and I hope to have the opportunity to make some incredible memories with you!
“I had never heard of Republic NOLA until recently when I attended a Christmas Party here. The space is really cute and a decent size, not large but not too small either. I spent most of my time in the balcony area and appreciated the view a lot more than on the first floor. It was spacious and there was a dedicated bar upstairs as well. I tried one of their Christmas themed drinks and unfortunately was not a fan of it. The music was a mixture of a band and a DJ. The DJ was okay, but I felt the music could have been slightly better. Overall, I think Republic NOLA would be a great choice for an event.”
“No words could describe how pleased we were with our wedding event that was held at Republic Nola. Jess, Taylor, and the entire staff were outstanding. The venue was unique, beautiful, dramatic, and absolutely ideal for our wedding. The words used by almost all of our guests after the event were "Epic", "Wedding of the Century", "Best Wedding Ever", and "Incredible Venue". The photos and video tell the story. For anyone seeking to have a completely unique and incredibly fun wedding experience you have found your venue.”
“Working with the Republic New Orleans was an incredible experience. The staff at this venue is very reliable and a pleasure to work with. We had a successful event hosted at Republic!”
“Republic NOLA is amazing!!! We had the best reception, and everything was absolutely perfect. Not only is the venue itself stunning, but Jessica did an incredible job coordinating with vendors, decorating, and overall making sure the night was awesome! It was so much better than we could have ever imagined!! Many thanks to Jessica and the Republic team!”
“Highly recommend Republic NOLA for your corporate event needs. Jessica and her staff are exceptional! They brought me fresh ideas and the partners needed to completely transform the space. Additionally, the venue has all the "things" event planners look for in a space - upgraded A/V, great layout, bar flow, and reasonable pricing. I would work with them again in a heartbeat!”
“Excellent wedding!”
“FOREVER HOME! I will ALWAYS recommend events at this venue! The atmosphere is phenomenal & the security guards are always making sure it’s a safe environment! I can’t wait to have my wedding reception here, the place where I have seen PLENTY of my favorite music artist perform!! 10/10 you better go to Republic NOLA or you’re missing out!”
“Republic is forever one of my top favorite venues! They host a variety of artists from many genres and their special events are always knocked out the park. They don’t miss any details & staff is always friendly.”
“Thank you for a great event on Sunday night! Our guests loved the space, and your team was fantastic to work with. A win-win for all of us! Look forward to working together again in the future.”
“Jessica is the best venue events director I have ever worked with. Truly. Thank you to her for making our vision happen--it was A LOT of fun.”
“Jessica, Charlye and I want to thank you for coordinating an amazing wedding for us and for all of our family and friends. You and your staff were amazing!! We all had such a great time and will remember Saturday forever.”
“The Republic NOLA is definitely a hidden gem wedding venue. The space has a classic rustic New Orleans feel with exposed beams and beautiful chandeliers. We did the candle package and they completely decked out each table and other spots throughout the venue with beautiful candle displays. For weddings/events that have a live band, the Republic is ideal because they have a great stage and sound, the acoustics are top notch which allows the band to be showcased.
The Republic is a very spacey venue and could likely accomodate weddings of 200+ people, but our wedding was only 85 and it didn’t feel empty. The events coordinator worked with us to design the table set up, dance floor, food stations and spots for our fortune teller/caricature artists to make sure that things were spread out and we made the most of the space.
To top it all off, Republic NOLA is also really affordable! Highly recommended!”
“Jessica and her entire staff were beyond amazing, and were so responsive to our requests. Strong Yes from Tulane School of Medicine.”
“5 years ago today our outdoor wedding was rained out, The Republic saved the day by opening their doors early for us and letting us do our ceremony inside. It was absolutely beautiful. Best day of my life. Thank you guys so much!!!!”
“Great location, rustic warehouse building has loads of character and flexible space, fabulous sound, video and lighting infrastructure and to top it all off – a wonderful in-house staff, easy to work with and accommodating – led by the excellent Jessica Talazac to ensure that your event runs flawlessly – best in New Orleans!”
“Jessica was so easy to work with and the place looked amazing!”
“Would highly recommend Republic NOLA for a wedding reception. Jessica and her staff did an outstanding job putting on a reception for my daughter that she’ll never forget. She came through with every little thing we asked for and the place looked beautiful. Many guest approached me with nothing but praise for this venue. If daughter #2 chooses a Nola wedding I’m sure we’ll be back. Thanks again Jessica for playing a huge roll on Brooke and Donovan’s big night!”
“Jessica, thank you again for assisting me in creating a great event for my clients! Your staff did a great job and were very friendly and accommodating to all of the guests. I continue to get rave reviews from the president of the company to the entire sales team.”
“We rented this venue for a work reception and we were extremely impressed! Great staff, a beautiful & unique venue, and wonderful food that was catered in. We even were referred to a great list of jazz bands to have at our reception. Jessica and Taylor were great to work with. I would highly recommend this place!!”
We cant wait to host more events at Republic- very professional and accommodating!”
“We really enjoyed having our event at Republic. Jessica was wonderful to work with and all of our guests had a great time! All of the staff was super friendly, we will definitely host again with Republic...SUCCESS!”
“Jessica T. at Republic is amazing! She's incredibly helpful in organizing a successful wedding. Republic is a unique venue for a bride who does not want to go the traditional route. It is also a great venue because the catering option can be included and all of the food options were great too.”
“This place is a great club located in the warehouse district. I went there for a private event-- my son's engagement party. The bartenders were knowledgeable and knew exactly what they were doing. They made some mean drinks. The food was outstanding. The setup for the party was breathtaking. The dance floor is huge with plenty of space for everyone. All the staff were on point with their service and their attitudes. I would give then 10 stars if there was a way to do so.”
“We are wedding planners and our wonderful brides have brought us to this really unique venue!!! Service is great with Jessica and her great staff!!! Very easy to work with to set up and break down. Have a great system. Real New Orleans venue with awesome service!!! We love it!”
“On behalf of my entire organization I would like to thank Republic for a perfect event last week in New Orleans. We are in the hotel industry so we recognize excellent service and hospitality. Jessica Talazac went above and beyond to ensure that our event went smoothly. Nothing was missed.”
"My clients desired a unique reception venue for their wedding and Republic was just that! The architecture, design, and candle package created the perfect backdrop for the bride and groom's special day. The staff was wonderful and worked to accommodate our every need throughout the planning process and on the wedding day."
“I have been doing events for five years now and have never been exposed to such an amazing, honest, and hardworking venue staff. What could’ve wound up being a very challenging situation was a great success thanks to the teamwork that everyone demonstrated.”
“Working with Republic over a month long period was an amazing experience. My main contact on the account, Jessica, was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely timely in her client communication. If I were to plan another event in New Orleans, Republic would be the first venue that I reach out to.”
“I don’t even know where to start - Jessica and the team at Republic were amazing!! We had our ceremony upstairs, with the reception downstairs - along with a Second Line. Jessica + team helped everything run super smooth. The venue is such a departure from a standard wedding venue, which is exactly what we were looking for!
We were planning our wedding from California - so we weren’t able to meet the team or see the venue before booking (which is very nerve-wracking, but it completely worked out). We opted for the candle package (highly, highly recommend) and the string light package. From last minute changes (adding pedicab’s for some people during the Second Line, the day of…) to all of the early planning, it was all taken care of with a smile! We had Jessica help secure the Second Line band (including police escort, permitting, etc), Photobooth, Catering, Linens and Decorations. We couldn’t be happier with the way everything looked and the day of flowed.
All of our friends and family made it a point to let us know that the venue was beautiful and what a fun wedding it was! Cannot recommend this venue and team behind it, enough!”

All the staff were on point with their service and their attitudes. I would give then 10 stars if there was a way to do so.”
“Republic is forever one of my top favorite venues! They host a variety of artists from many genres and their special events are always knocked out the park. They don’t miss any details & staff is always friendly.”
We cant wait to host more events at Republic- very professional and accommodating!”
“Jessica T. at Republic is amazing! She's incredibly helpful in organizing a successful wedding. Republic is a unique venue for a bride who does not want to go the traditional route. It is also a great venue because the catering option can be included and all of the food options were great too.”
“Excellent wedding!”
“Working with Republic for our event was a great experience. Having an event contact that was able to handle all the production elements for the venue and was flexible with last minute requests made it an overall amazing experience!”
“5 years ago today our outdoor wedding was rained out, The Republic saved the day by opening their doors early for us and letting us do our ceremony inside. It was absolutely beautiful. Best day of my life. Thank you guys so much!!!!”
“No words could describe how pleased we were with our wedding event that was held at Republic Nola. Jess, Taylor, and the entire staff were outstanding. The venue was unique, beautiful, dramatic, and absolutely ideal for our wedding. The words used by almost all of our guests after the event were "Epic", "Wedding of the Century", "Best Wedding Ever", and "Incredible Venue". The photos and video tell the story. For anyone seeking to have a completely unique and incredibly fun wedding experience you have found your venue.”
“Jessica and her entire staff were beyond amazing, and were so responsive to our requests. Strong Yes from Tulane School of Medicine.”
“I have been doing events for five years now and have never been exposed to such an amazing, honest, and hardworking venue staff. What could’ve wound up being a very challenging situation was a great success thanks to the teamwork that everyone demonstrated.”
