Spring may get all the attention, but many Louisiana couples will tell you there's something magical about a fall wedding. Cooler temperatures, golden afternoon light and comfortable evenings create the perfect setting for celebrating outdoors. If you're dreaming of a wedding surrounded by centuries-old live oaks and spectacular gardens, it's hard to imagine a more beautiful place than Houmas House Estate & Gardens.
Located just an hour from New Orleans, Houmas House combines Southern elegance with one of the most breathtaking landscapes in Louisiana. Exchange vows before the grand house, beside a tranquil fountain or in one of the property's beautifully landscaped gardens. With 38 acres of gardens featuring ponds, fountains, seasonal flowers and winding pathways, every turn offers another unforgettable backdrop for your wedding photos. The gardens are refreshed throughout the year, including new seasonal color each fall.
Fall weather also makes it easy for guests to enjoy every part of the celebration. Sip cocktails beneath the oaks, stroll through the gardens between the ceremony and reception, or gather under the stars as the evening unfolds. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, Houmas House offers a variety of indoor and outdoor venues that can be tailored to your vision, from elegant courtyards and ballrooms to expansive lawns overlooking the historic mansion.
Another advantage? You don't have to limit the celebration to a single day. Guests can stay overnight at The Inn at Houmas House, tour the historic estate, dine at one of the property's acclaimed restaurants, or simply spend the weekend relaxing among the gardens. It transforms your wedding into a memorable getaway for everyone on your guest list.
