LynHaven Events

The company schedules the annual picnic here on a regular basis. So we go if we haven't made other plans. It's only a few minutes north of I-12, not far from Hammond. It's still a fair drive from the city. There is always stuff to do there. Something for everybody. There are paddle boats to use on the lake. They prefer (strongly) that you swim in their swimming pool rather than the lake. There is fish in the lake if that is your preference. And Lynhaven will supply the bait. Or you can sit comfortably on benches in the among the shady trees and watch people hard at work with those paddle boats. There is a weather worn putt-putt course, basketball court, ping pong tables, horseshoe pits, and a volleyball court for those athletically inclined. For a more sedate activity, they have a nice koi pond with big fish. Part of the deal for renting the place is they cater the food for the event. Basic picnic fare, BBQ chicken beans, sausage, slaw, ice cream, burgers and hot dogs. The food is decent. It's your fault if you leave hungry.

We had my daughter's rehearsal dinner and wedding here. We had attended weddings at Lynhaven prior to the new ownership and we not over impressed. After visiting since The New Orleans Mission renovation I convinced my wife and daughter to consider. They were skeptical at 1st due to previous visit but after meeting with Emily and seeing how beautiful it had become we decided to have our memorable event there. What a great decision. The rehearsal dinner had a very intimate atmosphere versus a restaurant. As a father it was my hope for my daughter to have a memorable event. Emily and Sara were the coordinators and delivered a lifetime event. They are AWESOME! I'm a foodie and the food was incredible. Can't say enough about this venue and their "mission". Great event at a venue with a purpose!

We had our daughter's wedding at Lynhaven. It was the most beautiful and fun wedding. Everyone was so helpful and nice. It was absolutely stress free. Emily made it the wedding of her dreams. Our friends still talk about how beautiful and how much fun they had at the wedding. Emily made the whole day special for our daughter and the whole bridal party. It was such a fun and beautiful day. I can't say enough about the venue and staff.

Couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding. The ladies at Lynhaven think of everything. I had zero stress on the day of my wedding thanks to them. All of our guests still talk about how much fun our wedding was at Lynhaven!
