About Houmas House Estate and Gardens

Houmas House is the perfect place to celebrate a Wedding and/or host a Reception. The beautiful Mansion sits amongst 38 acres of beautifully manicured lawns, lush gardens, ponds, fountains and statuary. Many brides choose to be wed under the Cathedral of Oaks, exchanging vows on the front steps of the Mansion. However, you may choose among any of the many garden areas to create the perfect setting for your Wedding. Outdoor Cocktail Receptions can be held in either the Hampton Court Fountain area, the Turtle Bar Courtyard, or our Neptune Courtyard. Our beautiful Pavilion, which overlooks a garden area and the Hampton Court Fountain, is fully air conditioned and heated and allows for seated dinners for up to 350 guests, with band and dance floor, or up to 600 guests for a cocktail style reception, with buffet, band and dance floor areas. Our Neptune Courtyard and Ballroom offers the ultimate in indoor and outdoor entertaining for more intimate groups. The Courtyard, with its beautiful reflecting pond and surrounding gardens, allows a natural flow of activity for guests. The Ballroom will accommodate up to 165 guests for a cocktail buffet reception, with space for a band and dance floor. When the weather is beautiful, the Ballroom and Courtyard can easily accommodate up to 250 guests within its walled gardens. Our award winning Latil's Landing Restaurant, located on the grounds, caters all events at Houmas House. Chef Joseph DiCapo and his talented staff provide just the right food and service to make every event very special. Latil's Landing was recently hailed by Esquire Magazine as One of the "Top 20 Best New Restaurants in America." Latil's is the first Louisiana restaurant to be selected for this prestigious award. No two weddings are alike at Houmas House and we welcome the opportunity to help you create a wedding celebration that will be uniquely yours.
