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 70' with an additional 30' length being added on in Summer 2022. Space is sized for approximately 100 people and all tables and chairs are 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 area, the Bridal Suite 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 some of the original 100 year old fixtures. A complimentary set of Courtyard towels is included.
Indoor Warehouse
Coming Soon! Expected Availability August 2022. Will be able to accommodate 10 tables and about 50 people inside a climate controlled old hay storage warehouse. Additional bathrooms will also be included with this addition.
Bar Area
Our copper-topped unique bar is tucked nicely under the stairs and includes blue tooth speakers, a sink, ice storage area and a beverage refrigerator.
Not Just for Weddings!
The Courtyard has had many events other than weddings including 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 this 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. (Go back to the top to compare it to now! )
