Houmas House will deliver an experience unparalleled to anything else in South Louisiana. Our professional staff offers planning assistance and resources to create turn-key events of any scale.

The Pavilion

You can select The Pavilion, in whole or in part. Its 5,000 square feet of floor space can accommodate many types of events. The lawn adjacent to The Pavilion is available for use during your event. The Turtle Bar sits at the rear of this lawn and can be used with The Pavilion.

Neptune's Ballroom and Courtyard

The very beautiful Neptune's Ballroom and Neptune's Courtyard, are a perfect combination of indoor and outdoor accommodations. The 2,500 square foot Ballroom houses a civil war era submarine, affording a very unique piece of American history to be part of your event. The Courtyard features two lily ponds with fountains. Use them together or seperately for that truly one of a kind event.

The Hampton Fountain Court

The Hampton Fountain Court located at the rear of the mansion offers a spectacular view and a cozy atmosphere. It is a 30,000 square foot walled garden, which features a circular 50 foot water-lily pond with a fountain that dances to entertain and dazzle your guests. After dark the fountain is lighted for a dazzling display.

The Grand Lawn

The Grand Lawn at the front of the mansion offers nearly 7 acres of manicured lawn, surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and lakes. Our allee' of oaks offers a 300 foot walk for the bride on her special day. Or a dinner for up to 250 people served at one long table under the majestic Cathedral of Oaks.

The Tea House

Our newest venue, The Tea House at Mount Houmas, located on the highest point of the property, is surrounded by gardens, a 12 foot water fall and our version of the bridge from Monet's Gardens at Giverny, France. Seating for 36 in The Tea House, and 50 on the two adjacent terraces. This venue offers spectacular views of the gardens.

Latil's Landing Restaurant

For smaller or more intimate gatherings we offer our fine dining restaurant Latil's Landing, located in the original French House at Houmas House, which was built in 1773. The original house features four exquisite rooms, each with its own personality. Use one or two or three or all four of the rooms, depending on the size of your group.

The Honeymoon Cottage


The Honeymoon Cottage is available for that special overnight getaway. The cottage is located in a secluded corner of the property. It has a king size bed, whirlpool tub and shower for two. No television, no telephone, no interruptions.

The Turtle Bar


The very unique Turtle Bar is inside one of the twin Garconierres, which flank the grand house. The Turtle Bar is located just outside of The Pavillion, on the downriver side of the property.

The Sugar Baron's Feast

And for that very special one of a kind event we offer the Sugar Baron's Feast, the only way to experience what it was like to live during the grand days of The Sugar Palace. You and your guests will dine on a specially prepared seven course meal by award winning chef, Jeremy Langlois, inside the mansion's dining room.

We offer many unique venues, choose one, several or the entire property depending on the size of your event. From an intimate dinner for two to a gala for several thousand, we can accommodate just about anything you can imagine. When it has to be special, it has to be Houmas House.
