our story

A feeling she followed

Loreli didn't set out to open a wedding venue. She was running a concrete construction company, flipping homes for fun, building a life in the construction industry. Then a listing showed up on her Facebook feed, a historical home on six acres in Minden, Louisiana. She sent it to her husband. They saw it the next day and felt something special. Standing in the backyard, watching the oak trees sway, she felt peace, stillness. She knew more people needed to experience this amazing home. And It is her honor to be the fifth owner of this 210 year old home.

Loreli is a builder at heart — homes, businesses, and now, a place for other people's biggest moments. She's intentional about not living on the property: the estate belongs, fully, to whoever books it for the weekend. She's usually there on your wedding day anyway. Not because she has to be. Because she wants to be.

She does it because she loves it. The creativity of each event. The bride getting ready in the same house where she'll say her vows. The moment a family exhales and settles in for the weekend.
