What Our Customers Have to Say About Us

“Hats off to Bayou Barn! You deserve all the recognition that you get for a very unique venue. Tammy and her team were wonderful and very accommodating!”

“Bayou Barn treated us like family & far exceeded our expectations. Tammy & all the staff went above & beyond in ever aspect of our event. We had both our ceremony & reception at Bayou Barn.”

"We had our wedding at the Bayou Barn and it was great! We only had a few weeks to plan everything due to a covid change with a different venue but the staff at the Bayou Barn made sure that everything was perfect and ready for us. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are beautiful and the lighting looks great in photos."

"Great food & service! If want to get the real bayou experience, come down & pass a good time! Have your next event here you won't be disappointed. Laissez bon temp roule!"

"Love this venue and all. Locally owned by dear friends. Highly recommend, they will NOT let you down"

"Great place for any special occasion!! We checked out quite a few wedding venues and Bayou Barn was the best deal. They were so nice and easy to deal with. All the others wanted to nickel and dime you every chance they got, but not Bayou Barn. Staff, food and location are great! You won't be disappointed!!! Bayou Barn made for great wedding pictures also!"

EXPLORE THE SWAMP

Kayak Rentals and Canoe Rentals available at our launch located approximately 30 minutes south of New Orleans right on the outside of the entrance to the Barataria Preserve, a large estuary in the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park. This is a beautiful self-guided sightseeing tour launching from our site along Bayou Barataria, home to the local fishing communities of Lafitte, Barataria and Crown Point, LA. A short paddle along this bayou will bring you to the entrance of the National Park along Bayou Segnette, which spans through the National Park all the way to Bayou Segnette State Park. We recommend taking a turn into the heart of the National Park along Kenta Canal, a serene and quiet bayou estuary where you can enjoy the paddle at your leisure and observe the local wildlife in their natural habitat. Sightseeing tours like this one are for those that want to get up close and personal with nature.

We also offer group discounts! How about getting a group of your friends together to explore the park’s bayous? Special rates are available for groups of 10 (five boats) or more. And if you’re the one who organizes the group, your boat is free! Reservations and advance payment are required. Senior citizen discounts (10 percent off) are available on all-day rentals.
