Warehouse 535

Warehouse 535 occupies a restored WWII-era warehouse in downtown Lafayette, Louisiana, originally used as storage for Hadacol — a product tied to Dudley LeBlanc. In 2013, Mark Falgout and Nicole LeBlanc purchased the building and spent two years carefully renovating it while preserving its historic character and original structure. The venue offers four distinct spaces suited to a wide range of occasions, from large corporate functions to intimate wedding celebrations. The Main Event Room is the largest indoor space, combining modern features with warm, historic charm. The Rhum Room, centered around a horseshoe bar and star-shaped lighting, suits smaller gatherings or can serve as an adjoining space for larger events. The Brass Room accommodates mid-size events, corporate meetings, and live music. The Lawn provides outdoor space anchored by a gazebo, used for ceremonies, festivals, and concerts alongside the indoor areas. Across all four spaces, the venue includes state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, three full-service bars, and dedicated event coordination.
