About Us
New Orleans Style Courtyard in North Louisiana!
We are the only Event Space in North Louisiana that offers a quaint outdoor courtyard and a unique indoor warehouse along with a historic bridal area that would be perfect for your outdoor wedding or event.
The event space is 30' x 100' and is sized for approximately 150 people with all tables and chairs included with your rental.
Rent just the Courtyard or add on to your experience with the Bridal Suite and/or The Indoor Warehouse.
Upstairs Bridal Suite
Our unique bridal area is part of what was 100 years ago the Webster Parish Health Unit and included 11 different examination rooms. "Exam Room" #11 (the biggest!) has become our bridal suite.
Included in rental of this space is access to the Entry Lounge, the Bridal or Get-Ready room, a Full Bathroom and a Kitchen area- all overlooking the Courtyard.
The Bridal Suite is beautifully furnished and includes a long mirror and stools for getting ready and a on-suite full bathroom which includes the original 100 year old fixtures. A complimentary set of Courtyard towels is also included.
Indoor Warehouse- Option 1
Our Indoor Warehouse is a rustic repurposed old hay storage facility and can seat about 50 people. It opens up to a veranda area in The Courtyard where an additional 150 can be seated. This area along with the outside courtyard, bridal suite & grooms room is our "Option 1" for smaller weddings.
Indoor Venue- Option 2
The adjacent Indoor Venue is also a very old brick business building that was originally an old feed store. It seats about 100 people in the big room and has 2 smaller rooms in front and a small kitchen area with fridge, freezer, micro and sink. This area along with the outside courtyard, bridal suite & grooms room is our "Option 2" for larger weddings.
Additional Get-Ready Room (Grooms Room!)
There is a separate room for the groom to get ready that is right off the Warehouse- well away from the Bridal Suite!
Not Just for Weddings!
The Courtyard has had many events other than weddings including Baby Showers, Wine Tasting Parties; Festivals; Cooking Contests; Mardi Gras Parties, Birthday Parties and even Halloween Parties!
Many Photo Spots
There are many places within The Courtyard event space and Upstairs Bridal Area to have your pictures taken.
Included with your booking is the ability to use The Courtyard for a weekday photo shoot with your photographer prior to your event.
In addition, there are many great photo spots all around our historic downtown location along with nice lunch venues- all within walking distance.
Where we started
We are Kerry and Anne Easley and we fell in love with this old brick building in downtown Minden. In 2014, we bought the building along with an empty lot next to it and soon had a vision for The Courtyard.
After a few years of hard work, we turned it into the place you see today.
