Absolutely love this place and the people that run it! Mica was so helpful and really helped with the stress of everything. The building is so beautiful you just need minimal decorations. The made sure everything ran so so smoothly.
Will recommend always. The accommodations were perfect from the coordinator to the bartenders and security. Everything was so perfect and I couldn’t have asked for better. Anything I needed they helped with. Would recommend to anyone looking to get married ❤️
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Mica and her team took care of everything and made the planning and day of the wedding an absolute breeze.
Brides - the bridal suite was so open and big. I had 2 hair ladies and 2 make-up artists and it was very easy for them to set up.
The night crew made it painless and easy for us to enjoy our night.
BOOK WITH THEM!
My wedding reception was held here almost a year ago. The historic touches and convenience of its proximity to Saint Joseph Catholic Church where my wedding ceremony was held was a huge plus. We were able to have our own caterer and the signature cocktails are amazing!
I just held my daughters wedding here. The building is beautiful and we didn't need to bring in any outside decorations. We had about 200 people present and there was plenty of room. Ms. Wendy took care of making sure everything was taken care of during the reception and that made it easier on me and my daughter. I will definitely be back for my next daughters wedding!
LOVED this venue! Wendy was great from the start, and when we had to reschedule due to COVID she didn't even blink an eye. Trying to plan a wedding from out of state can be frustrating but she made everything so easy up to the very end. She has a great sense of how weddings run and the day of she was on top of it all. The venue itself is gorgeous and it's charm adds so much that you don't have to over do it with decorations, the open flow helped it to not feel sectioned off and we were all able to party together.
Really nice venue, beautiful and requires little decoration.
The staff was amazing and took care of all of our needs. Very friendly and helpful.
Awesome reception if you want that rustic feel!
This venue was absolutely gorgeous!! It was everything I ever imagined my wedding being and more. There were a few hiccups in miscommunication with the person in charge, and not following through with things on our contract. The bar options were also not fully explained to us so we did not get what we thought we were paying for. Overall, I was pleased and enjoyed the atmosphere of this location.
We had a beautiful wedding at the Warehouse. Ms. Wendy was helpful and everything was perfect. The enviance created was exactly what my husband and I envisioned. Vintage romance :) The perfect location for our medium/large sized ceremony and reception!
Beautiful, rustic charm. Accommodating staff! love it!
The Warehouse is truly unlike any place around Lafayette, LA. It is historic and beautiful with all the original wood, fireplace, wine cellar, etc. Its beautiful during the day, but doesn't compare to it at night. Absolutely breathtaking as you walk in and it feels like your transported back in time.
