Silver Lake Ballroom
900 Market St, Shreveport, LA 71101, USA- Spaces for 600 Guests
Silver Lake Ballroom occupies the first floor of the historic Hunter Building in downtown Shreveport, Louisiana — a three-story Art Deco structure built in 1931 as headquarters for the Hunter Oil and Investment Company. The building takes its name from Silver Lake, a natural body of water that once covered much of present-day Market Street before the Red River raft removal in the late 1830s redirected the waterway. Owner Martha Rice established the ballroom to honor that architectural heritage and contribute to the revitalization of the downtown area. The venue offers four distinct event spaces totaling 14,000 square feet, split between indoor and outdoor settings. The Ballroom features original terrazzo floors, six gold mirror chandeliers, and red gum molding across 3,000 square feet. The Heritage Room pairs New Orleans-style 1930s murals with exposed brick walls and 16-foot vaulted concrete beams. Outdoors, The Landing provides 5,000 square feet with 20-foot ceilings and Edison lighting beneath a covered-and-uncovered structure. A Bridal Suite with antique furnishings and a private passage for ceremony entrances rounds out the offering. Silver Lake Ballroom has hosted events since August 2006, including weddings, corporate gatherings, film shoots, and bar mitzvahs. Rentals include tables, chairs, decorative lighting, glass candle centerpieces, and onsite event-day staff. Custom bar packages and warming kitchen access are also available.

Ormond Plantation Manor
13786 River Rd, Destrehan, LA 70047, USA- Spaces for 150 Guests
- 1 Country Club
Despite its unique nature and often tragic history, Ormond Plantation has managed to endure until the early twenty-first century. As early as the 1780s, Pierre D'Trepagnier was granted a parcel of property by the Spanish Governor Don Bernanrdo deGalvez, who named it after himself. The main building, which was erected shortly before 1790, served as the plantation's headquarters for indigo and later sugar cane production. Built in the "Louisiana Colonial" style for plantations, which was inspired by the enormous sugar estates of the West Indies, the home is a beautiful example of architecture. The two wings, or garconnieres, that give Ormond its unique appearance are taller than the main building and of a design that may have been influenced by the Atlantic Seaboard, according to some sources. This was a common occurrence as officials from the Louisiana and Spanish governments were entertained in the mansion. Colonel Richard Butler purchased Mrs. D'Trepagnier's plantation home in 1805 for a sum of money. Butler had served in the United States Army and had fallen in love with the South during his time there. In honor of his family castle in Ireland, the Castle Ormonde, he gave his new home the name "Ormond." Following the War Between the States, Ormond Plantation, like many other Southern plantations, was forced to close its doors. It changed hands twice more before being sold at public auction in 1874 and 1875, according to historical records. State Senator Basile LaPlace, Jr., son of the prominent New Orleans pharmacist and landowner after whom the town of LaPlace is named, purchased Ormond on December 1, 1898, for a sum of $25,000.00. LaPlace died in a horrific fashion. In the following years, Ormond moved from LaPlace's widow to his mother, and then to the Schexnayder family, all of which occurred during the year 1900. The Schexnayders retained ownership of the property until 1926, when they transferred ownership to the Inter-Credit Corporation of New York. Between the late 1920s and early 1930s, a variety of tenants lived in the house and on the grounds surrounding the house. The house had been left to decay, and the walls were collapsing and the porch was sagging. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Brown, proprietors of the Brown's Velvet Dairy in New Orleans, purchased the property for a sum of money. Beginning in 1943, the Browns embarked on a significant renovation project that involved enclosing the carriageways and incorporating the garconnieres into the main structure of the house. Indoor plumbing, natural gas, and electricity were among the modern luxuries that the Browns installed.

They met in 2016 while both were employed full-time by AT&T. Sarah began decorating small parties for family and friends when she first started out, with ambitions to one day work as an event planner. Devin supported her ideas while also searching for his own life's meaning and calling. He hopes to make a positive contribution to the community. As time went on and their family and duties increased, their ambition began to wane and it became simply impossible to achieve. After their wedding in February 2020, she felt that now was the time for her to give it another shot. As a result of Covid-19, the entire world was forced to shut down the following month. Their ambition had been shattered yet another time. They both continued to work for AT&T, and subsequently concluded that we needed a location where people could communicate in a way that had an impact on society. On June 13, 2021, the Creole Soiree restaurant in Broussard officially opened its doors. They are now members of the Broussard Chamber of Commerce, and they host a monthly community involvement event every month. Individuals should have options and opportunities regardless of their circumstances, as envisioned by our organization.

Whitehall Plantation
100 Central Ave, Jefferson, LA 70121, USA- Spaces for 100-150 Guests
- 1 Barn
- 1 Farm
Whitehall Plantation, which was established in 1857 for Francois Pascalis de la Barre and his family and operated as a sugar plantation until 1891, was the first of its kind in the United States. At the time, the plantation encompassed 8,000 acres that stretched from the Mississippi River to Lake Pontchartrain in southern Louisiana. According to historical records, life at Whitehall Plantation was filled with joy and celebration. Other plantation owners, their families, and friends were invited to enjoy Christmas Eve on the plantation, which made for a particularly joyous holiday season in general. The women donned their old-fashioned dresses and danced to Chopin's Minuet in G and Strauss' Vienna Woods with the males of their choosing to the tunes of Chopin's Minuet and Strauss' Vienna Woods. Because of its near proximity to New Orleans and its link to a dirt road known as Labarre Road, the property was chosen to serve as the headquarters for Union General Morgan during the Civil War. The grounds were transformed into a gambling casino in 1919, with dancing to the sounds of well-known orchestras taking place on the premises. A magnificent restaurant had been added to the manor's offerings. The meals were exquisite, the music was excellent, and, if Lady Luck was on your side, your travel back home was enjoyable as well. Magnolia Community Services now has access to Whitehall Plantation's gorgeous scenery, which is maintained by the plantation. Magnolia School, founded in 1935 by Dr. Charles Bloom, was born out of a need for specialized instruction for children and adolescents who were experiencing intellectual and developmental issues. Dr. Charles Bloom wanted to provide for his son, but he quickly learned that there were little resources available to satisfy his son's demands. As a result, Dr. Charles Bloom organized a group of businesspeople to hunt for land on which to build a school for his son. The Magnolia School was founded by private contributions and now runs as a private 501 c3 non-profit organization in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. With the knowledge that a portion of the rental price for Whitehall Plantation is donated to this deserving organization, you can feel good about yourself. We will work with you to create a wedding experience that is as special as your love for one another. For years to come, a Whitehall Plantation wedding will be remembered not just for the scenic settings, which include moss-hung oak trees and the grand staircase entry to the magnificent home, but also for the flavor, flair and attention to detail that we put into each and every event.
