Venues & Event Spaces in Slidell, LA

“WOW!!! Stopped here for lunch while cycling on the Tammany Trace & everything was impressive in all ways. Dropped in for lunch less than an hour before closing & received full accommodation without rush. Food & spirits were excellent with lots of options to choose from. Excellent & friendly service. So glad to discover such a gem. Recommend without hesitation.”

“You will not be disappointed!! Let me tell you, If I could give a million stars that would not be enough. My wedding reception was held at Blanc and Brick on 01/17/2026 and it was absolutely amazing!! Theresa and her staff are incredibly awesome. Theresa took my vision and made it reality. I wanted something simple but beautiful. The decor was so classy and elegant! It was far better than I could have imagined! The food was delicious as well! We had such a great time my husband wants to do again! Thank you Blanc and Brick for making my special day amazing and even more memorable!!”

“The Food Truck Fest in Slidell at may just be the best event I have ever been to at the Harbor Center, and I been to quite a bunch. I thought our children's graduation there was good, but there wasn't like any refreshments booths. My favorite was The USMC Band / Toy's For Tots Christmas Concert. After today, at the Food Truck Fest, that was by far more fun.
There were so many different types of food being sold off the trucks and everything looked and smelled incredible. It was not easy to choose, and the portions were so plentiful there was no way you were going to try everything. That would be cool though if they all sold quarter and half portions so that we could try plenty. Anyway, I doubt there was a bad choice to be made. Several different specialty burgers as well as specialty hot dogs, seafood, barbecue, Filipino food, and desserts, snowballs, fresh lemonade and coffee drinks. And, there were 2 cash bar trucks. Though I thought people were nuts to pay $17 for a high ball.
There were several unique buys with many food booths set up inside mixed into the craft booths. All this surrounded tables and chairs to sit and eat, and to enjoy a really great band, Bayou Stampede. And bonus....the air conditioner works well. THANK GOD!
There was dancing, several other booths I did not visit, plenty of free parking and it was fre entry.
If you didn't make it, put it on your calendar right now for next year.”

“My wife and I got married at The Venue 11/2/2025 and I have to say, we had the most perfect wedding experience. To start, Kelsey (the owner) is SO flexible with scheduling your event. They offer hourly, half day, full day, and so on for booking. We booked a half day for our wedding and that ended up being perfect. We were allowed 2 hours prior to the start of our allotted time to show up and set everything up (but since there were no other events that day, Kelsey was extremely accommodating with the time). My wife used this time to use their beautiful bridal suite with her bridesmaids to get ready!

The venue itself is beautiful. When we arrived, Kelsey had already set everything up and decorated everything exactly as we had asked! We had our reception in the back yard under some big beautiful oak trees underneath lots of nice romantic string lights overhead that stretch the width of the entire space. They had speakers to play music out back, and a speaker with a microphone for the officiant and us two to use during the ceremony. Kelsey went above and beyond, controlling the music, lining up the wedding party, and essentially ensuring everything went off without a hitch.

For the reception, the indoor space was decorated by Kelsey as well. She even hung up our neon sign we had made for the wedding! They had set up our food we had catered next to their bar, where she also had all of our drinks on ice for the guests to enjoy. She played our music using their sound system all night.

The location could not have been more convenient either. Kelsey owns the bar two buildings down from the venue, The Golden Goat (side note: this is an AWESOME bar). Our guests were able to get alcoholic beverages from their bar (of course, you can opt in to having a bartender at the venue, but we did not) and continue to enjoy the reception. After the event ended, we made our way back to The Golden Goat and had a great time there. There are plenty of other bars around the corner as well for bar hopping if that’s something you and you’re group are interested in!

When everything was said and done, all we had to do was pack up everything we brought and all of the wedding gifts, and we were on our way! Kelsey and her crew handled clean up.

I’m not exaggerating when I say that this was a fairy tale wedding for us. Kelsey stayed the whole time and ensured that everything was perfect for myself and my bride on our special day. We would 100% recommend The Venue to anyone looking for the perfect place for any event!”

“The hotel was very clean, including the refrigerator, which was spotless. The property could use a little maintenance, but the price is reasonable. The staff was friendly. Free parking is available, and pets are accepted for an additional fee.”

“Nice for small events, events with class room or pop-up effects. Clean, front foyer, setup for catered food. Owner was very professional, would definitely recommend.”

“Lovely Friday night at the ol bowling alley! Great to see the place lively as ever with nothing but an overall good vibe all around.

Would recommend to my grandfather, family and friends!”

“This Hotel is not only nice and clean but they have the absolute BEST customer service! Courtney was great checking me in! Jerry is sooo nice as well! They also helped with suggestions on what to do as tourists! Only 20-30 mins from French Quarter! They truly go above and beyond to make sure your stay is comfortable and excellent. I wish i could give more stars! The best hands down!”
