Paradigm Gardens

What a wonderful venue for a brunch concert. They had a brilliantly planned garden with a nice layout and plenty of places to sit. The vendors and the music were amazing that day but they select them well. Make sure to walk around and check out the garden and try all the food they bring. We will be back again!

We LOVED our wedding and reception at Paradigm Gardens. It had the exact vibe we were looking for- casual and relaxed, beautiful, and with excellent food. Moreover, working with the folks at Paradigm was a treat, I actually enjoyed wedding planning! The tasting was fun and we looked forward to the visits to the gardens to go over layout, decor, etc. Our wedding at Paradigm was perfect and I only wish we could do it all over again.

I don't know where to begin to compliment the Paradigm Gardens team! Our wedding exceeded all of our expectations - beginning from the thoughtful small details all the way to the high-level planning and execution by the whole team. Karen was communicative from the beginning, providing thorough responses to our many questions. She was always transparent and direct, making planning so efficient and smooth! Sarah, who was our day-of coordinator from Paradigm, was so responsive and receptive to all of our suggestions. She made the whole day run so smoothly and thought of literally everything - we were so impressed. When I asked her if she could arrange some bouquets for my bridesmaids, not only did she deliver but made some of the most beautiful bouquets I've ever seen. The day went off without a hitch because of her thoughtful planning and we are so grateful! The food made by Chef Pat and his team was phenomenal - we're still getting compliments a month later! The preparation, the service, the presentation, and the flavor exceeded all expectations. The atmosphere at Paradigm is that of a garden oasis that celebrates all the best that New Orleans has to offer. I could not recommend it more for your special day!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Paradigm last month, and we could not have been happier! From start to finish, they were completely wonderful and exactly what we were looking for. When we started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted something a little different and a place that could give us a relaxed and easy-going afternoon. Paradigm nailed it. Every single person who was part of the day went above and beyond for us. Karen is a pro and helped us with all the nitty gritty details start to finish. We loved working with her. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I lost count of the number of people who told us how incredible the food was; Chef Pat and Karibu Kitchen created the perfect custom menu, and people are still talking about it. Sarah and her team greeted everyone with drinks when they first walked in, which we thought was such a nice touch. One of our guests told me at the reception, “This place is amazing; what a great idea to have the wedding here.” They made the day such a joy for us and provided a space for it to be everything we wanted without stress or a ridiculous price tag.

Paradigm Gardens is a beautiful and very well kept and weedless garden. I misread the plant sale today and arrived after it ended, but the staff still allowed me to look around, snap photos and make a purchase. I did appreciate it. So many zinnias, sunflowers, herbs, and ginger growing. There is a small goat farm here as well. I do recommend Paradigm Gardens and will definitely return. I will also ask to volunteer. It is that wonderful.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Paradigm Gardens in March 2019. The reception was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. The food was delicious and unique many of our guests agreed it was the best wedding food they had ever had, and the DJ that Karen recommended to us DJ Matty was a hit. Paradigm is a beautiful garden space and needs almost no extra decor a big plus when sticking to a budget!. And the baby goats were of course adorable! We even had guests tell us they wanted to have their own events at Paradigm in the future. We opted to rent tents due to a threat of rain. I was concerned that the tents would take away from the beauty of the garden, but it didn't take away from the atmosphere at all! Joel and the staff re-strung the lights to drape beneath the tent and it turned out beautifully. The staff was so kind and easy to work with. They even coordinated setup with our cake vendor taking that added stress off of us. I honestly cannot say anything but positive things about the entire experience. Our day went perfectly!

This urban garden is a magical hidden gem in New Orleans. I’ve been to ticketed events and private events here. It is such a memorable experience. The food was AMAZING and the goats are so cute. It is a perfect place if you want to host a wedding or special party.

This is a lovely venue. The food and the music were great. A very romantic and dreamy atmosphere. Loved dining among flowers. It is specially marvelous during sunset. Very refined and elegant crowd.

This venue is amazing. It's in a busy-ish area, but they've done an excellent job of ensuring a private, intimate space. Aside from the gorgeous and lush garden ambiance even in November, the staff was incredibly helpful. I had no outside help planning my wedding and I had no idea what I was supposed to do, but the event staff at Paradigm helped me through ever step of the way without ever making me feel like my non-traditional touches were out of place. The food was AMAZING, the crafted drinks were fabulous, and the place looked beautiful. To top it off, the day of staff was on point from set up to break down. We had a lot of unique touches, and the staff helped incorporate all of them seamlessly. I couldn't recommend this venue more. And while it may not be cheap, it's very affordable! Like I said, we did a good bit with the space, but you could do absolutely nothing and have a beautiful event. It's been 6 months, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful and well run our venue was and how great the food was. Honestly, it was the best food I have ever had at an event. If you're looking for an intimate outdoor space in NOLA, it doesn't get better than Paradigm.

Paradigm takes the craziness of planning a wedding and made it EASY and JOYFUL. The aesthetic is totally built in and fabulous, allowing us to minimize outside vendors and maximize the charm and secret-garden-vibe that it had already. The in-house Chef is incredible, can make literally anything, and the setting with he wood fired stove is just so special and unique. Cannot say enough wonderful things about their staff, so proactive, thoughtful and upbeat... we are so lucky we found and used them. Highly recommend.
