Weddings at DeMenil

Our historic grounds present the perfect setting for your wedding, rehearsal dinner or corporate event. We host only one event per evening, and the grounds are yours to enjoy.  Each event is unique and each menu is created specifically for that event.  Our party planners work with our clients to develop an evening that suits their tastes and their budget.

Many of our Wedding couples choose to be married on our grounds in the Historic Gazebo surrounded by beautiful greenery and park-like scenery.  The acre and a half of gardens act as a perfect backdrop to our magnificent 1861 Greek Revival Mansion. The Mansion is open during the week and gives hourly tours, but in the evening it is reserved expressly for private events.
