Lush grounds and vintage charm
Lush grounds and vintage charmGarrett Field is a wedding venue and polo training field located in the historic town of Slidell, LA. Situated across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, this 130-acre estate combines eclectic charm with the wild beauty of nature. Owners Billie and Gran have filled the estancia with priceless antiques from their travels and have highlighted the Argentine tradition of polo throughout. Their property is a unique retreat where you and your partner will be surrounded by the untamed magic of Louisiana’s bayou. Nestled among the woodlands, Garrett Field provides a number of versatile and stunning settings for your ceremony and reception. For gatherings of up to 200, the open-air, beautifully renovated airplane hangar will be at your disposal. This pavilion has been outfitted with stained glass windows, factory windows, and skylights, through which natural light streams and sparkles off of sputnik chandeliers. Finally, grand affairs can be hosted in the polo field, a 1,000-person capacity lawn where you may even be joined by some friendly horses. Garrett Field houses two indoor facilities: the polo barn and the traditional white manor. The working barn is the home of the estancia’s champion Argentine polo horses and is equipped with polo mallets, saddles, and hay. Upstairs, a bedroom and a dining room that seats up to 45 can be used for a dressing room and a small reception space, respectively. The white house is flanked by tall white columns and is the perfect backdrop for pictures with the wedding party. While it cannot be used for ceremonies or receptions, this mansion can be rented for getting ready and overnight accommodations. Out back, the pool area provides a lovely spot for cocktail hours with all your friends and family. Billie and Gran invite you to explore the enchanting grounds and tailor your celebration to your unique tastes and styles.
