Facilities and Capacity

Oak Lodge is composed of three venue spaces. The Reception Center is the original venue space, with red brick walls, Tiffany-style chandeliers, and a large oak dance floor. The Bienville Room celebrates the historic French-Louisiana style with large french doors, a copper bar, a wrought-iron staircase, and sprawling courtyard patios.

My wife and I held our wedding reception here in February. Everything was absolutely perfect and Oak Lodge made everything we wanted happen. My wife had a vision for everything she wanted and Elette, the events manager made her vision come to life with exactly what she wanted. The food was fantastic, and the staff made sure to take our drink order and make us plates of food as soon as we walked in the door to ensure that we could enjoy our food. Thank you guys so much for making it a perfect day for me and my wife.
