Audubon NATURE INSTITUTE

WEDDING CEREMONIES AND RECEPTIONS

Thank you for contacting Audubon Nature Institute’s Catering and Special Events Department. We offer the perfect combination of ambiance, service and culinary expertise. Here is an overview of how we can enhance your special day.

The Venue

Audubon Venue options include Audubon Tea Room, Swamp and Aquarium of the Americas. Whether you are looking for casual and fun or formal elegance, each of Audubon’s venues is unique and special in its own way. Please refer to our Venue Descriptions and Catering Guidelines attachment for specifics and costs on the venues we have available for your ceremony and/or reception. The guidelines will provide a facility description and what is included in the way of service-ware and furniture.

The Ceremony

Your Audubon Sales Manager will work with you to coordinate and execute your ceremony. Details are determined during planning meetings. A rehearsal can be scheduled to finalize ceremony details with your wedding party. Using our space for the rehearsal is complimentary, but is based on availability of the venue. Rehearsal time is limited to 30 minutes and must conclude by 5:00 PM.

The rental fee of our ceremony venues includes only use of space. All furniture, lighting, sound and rain-plan tents must be rented at an additional cost. If you are not working with a wedding planner, it is recommended that Audubon handle the rental of these items. We will order, plan and organize delivery, set up and pick up details for you. All rental items will be included on your final invoice. You are welcome to order these items directly from a rental company, but you must follow our venue rules and guidelines regarding delivery and pick up times and you will be assessed a $150 production fee.

Professional wedding planners are welcome. We do require you and your planner to sign an event agreement early in the planning process.

Menu Planning

For your convenience we offer Menu Packages which are diverse and include options within each category. For a custom designed approach, we can build your menu to suit your specific tastes using our a la carte choices. Your Sales Manager will guide you through this process. Suggestions from our Executive Chef, Alan Ehrich, are also available.

We do have regularly scheduled “Group Tastings” for an opportunity to taste a variety of menu options. Private Tastings must be scheduled in advance, based on availability, and are reserved for seated meals.

Reception Service Style

The sky is the limit when it comes down to styles of service available for your reception. Your Sales Manager can guide you as to what type of service will work best for you. There are a variety of options and styles that may be offered, depending on your guest count and venue.

The most popular are: Reception Style, most popular in New Orleans, consists of passed hors d’ oeuvres and food stations. Your guests enjoy a variety of food in small portions served on small plates. Typically there is seating for only ¼ to ½ of your guests promoting a more fluid and party-like feel.

A Seated Dinner typically starts with a small cocktail reception followed by a plated served meal which could be served individually or served family style. The menu courses are pre-selected by the bridal couple or hosts in advance. There is seating for everyone. This format is your most formal option.

Buffet Dinner consists of full, dinner size portions displayed on a buffet. There is seating for everyone. Your guests go to the buffet one time with a large dinner plate. This format allows a little more menu variety than the seated served menu.

Special touches

Here is a list of services we offer to make you feel extra special during your planning process and on your big day… A sales person will work with you to guide you through the details such as menu design, layout and timeline. We allow you to deliver personal belongings to our office the week of the wedding which we will then transport to your reception. It’s one less detail you need to worry about on the wedding day. At the event, the bridal couple will be assigned a personal attendant to bring you food and beverage. We will manage your time line to make sure no beat is missed. For Reception Style parties, we will provide “to go” snacks for the bridal couple. So no worries if they don’t eat during the party: they’ll have a little nosh when they kick off their shoes back at the hotel. Complimentary bottle of house champagne and complimentary cake-cutting service. Complimentary cake knife and champagne flutes available for your use upon request.

Our staff places great importance on service so that each of your guests leaves with a wonderful experience to take with them and remember ….
