WEDDINGS AND SPECIAL EVENTS

Welcome to Vermilionville, a charming and captivating place to host that special event. As you gather in our climate-controlled facilities, the staff at Vermilionville focuses on providing comprehensive catering services in a unique and memorable setting for one exceptional experience. 

A variety of appetizer items, banquet style meals, a barbecue or crawfish boil is offered through our on-site catering department. Whatever your culinary desire, our goal is to meet your needs and provide customized and personalized service. 

 

Le Chapel de Atakapas

Our chapel, based on a pair of chapels in Acadiana from the late 1700’s, is fully climate controlled and is a great space for evening weddings, music performances, readings, and more. This space can be decorated simply and beautifully, providing an intimate space for your event.  Sixteen pews on either side of the center row allow seating for up to 140 guests.

Performance Center

Our Performance Center, styled after an old agricultural building, is perfect for social gatherings, company banquets, weddings, parties or conventions. This quaint building can accommodate up to 350 inside. However, by sliding open the exterior walls (seasonal only) and utilizing our charming courtyard, the capacity increases in size.
