Where the Water Meets the Moment Not every wedding has a view like this and not every love story deserves the ordinary. Welcome to The Lakehouse, the only wedding venue in New Orleans perched directly on the edge of Lake Pontchartrain. Here, sunsets shimmer across the water, sailboats drift by, and the skyline fades into twilight as you say I do. It’s more than a venue, it’s a feeling, a place where elegance meets ease, and nature elevates every moment. Our open-air deck gives you the ceremony backdrop no ballroom can offer, while our indoor reception space pairs classic New Orleans charm with modern refinement. Whether you’re planning a 200-person fête or an intimate celebration, we tailor the experience to reflect your style, not a template. This is where unforgettable begins.

We recently attended a wedding at The Lakehouse, and it was hands-down one of the most stunning events we’ve ever experienced — and we’ve seen a lot through Jet Set! The modern design mixed with the serene lakefront views created a picture-perfect setting from start to finish. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, and the flow of the event felt seamless. You could feel how special the space was — both sophisticated and welcoming. The staff at The Lakehouse went above and beyond to make every guest feel taken care of. The service, ambiance, and beauty of this venue are truly unmatched. If you're considering a venue that will WOW your guests and create lifelong memories, The Lakehouse is it. It’s more than just a venue — it’s an experience.
