About this venue

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.
