    The St. Tammany Art Association was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding reception. Their communication was fast and professional, and they were incredibly affordable. Maggy, the coordinator, was a joy to work with and went above and beyond to ensure our day was special. They provided a wonderful venue full of amazing artwork in the heart of downtown Covington. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue and highly recommend the St. Tammany Art Association to any couple looking for a unique, affordable, and memorable setting for their big day.
