I don’t know where to begin. We wanted a small, intimate wedding of only close friends and family. We had no real vision of what we wanted our wedding to look like. We wanted simple and that works perfectly with the Fowler House— it’s so beautiful it doesn’t need to be dressed up. Jacqueline was with me from day one. She replied to emails within great time frame and met with us many times before the wedding. She gave us so many ideas for our big day. Seriously, she did everything. Her mom and fiancé all work together and they are just an amazing crew. I am so happy that I met these wonderful

We had our wedding here in September, and we got tons of compliments on our venue choice! It's a very unique property. We didn't have to spend much on decorations, it's beautiful as is. We had tons of guests tell us how much they enjoyed their dinner as well, everything was delicious. Jacqueline was our contact for planning. She was great to work with, professional and easygoing. She worked very hard to take care of us and make sure our wedding was what we wanted. Be sure to go for lunch sometime and walk around the property!

I recently attended a wedding and reception at the Fowler House and was so impressed not only with the beautiful venue but with the politeness and professionalism of all of the staff. We were waited on hand and foot the entire time. The staff quickly and efficiently set up the wedding area and seating, again reset it for more dining space, and then again reset for the dance floor. The food served was amazing including delicious appetizers. The main course was not only a visual and appetizing presentation it was delicious and filling. Great job in every way Fowler House!

I had very high expectations based on prior reviews of their second Sunday brunch but was sadly disappointed. Although the service was great, the food left a lot to be desired. Most of the meals we were served were cold or lukewarm and also very bland. We sent back an order of biscuits and gravy that was clearly not checked before being sent out because the dish was cold and so were the contents. The pickle on the Bloody Mary we ordered had the consistency of a mashed potato and the mimosas were extremely sweet with barely any champagne. The rest of the home was beautiful but most rooms when looking

2021-06-01 Edit - You can now get food here. This is the perfect spot for a lunch date with that lady you don't want your wife to know about. The menu is small and specialized, and dishes are fancy and complex.
We had the Roasted and Seasoned Shaved Pork Loin and the Pan-Seared Salmon Filet with Dijon Butter Sauce. Both were tasty and were about perfect for filling you up without knocking you out for the afternoon.
Fantastic place for a company gathering or a wedding. The house is pretty spacious and beautifully kept - true to the time period and full of character. We had the catering here and

We recently got married at the Fowler House. I cannot say enough good things about the staff here. Everyone was ABSOLUTELY wonderful and so incredibly helpful (especially to this anxious bride). Karen made sure everything was setup perfectly and kept the day going on schedule.
We also used the in-house catering. Well worth it! The food was DELICIOUS! Our families were very impressed. We also used their bartenders which just made the day wonderful. The guests (and us) loved the drinks the bartender made. We had 2 signature cocktails and those were slurped up!
Our wedding day went so smoothly and

Our family recently held a memorial service at the Fowler House Mansion and it could not have been done any better. The lovely historic rooms were set exactly as requested, the decor was perfect, and the delicious food was presented beautifully in the gorgeous dining room. Karen, the manager, was so warm and accommodating from the moment we first went to look at the venue. She listened to what we wanted and contributed so many terrific ideas. She made great suggestions on the food and helped determine the right quantity for the number of guests. Although they were busy with many events on our weekend

The Fowler House hosted our daughter's wedding July 27.
The venue was absolutely beautiful! There really is nothing like it in the area for receptions and parties. The historical details of the grand old house are incomparable.
Karen and staff bent over backwards to make sure everything went smoothly! Jacqueline was spot on with her wine and drink recommendations!
I highly recommend the venue and the staff. Everyone was extremely friendly, professional and helpful.
If you have a special event planned, don't hesitate to check out the Fowler House!

My wife and I were married at the Fowler House Mansion on June 1. From the one-of-a-kind venue that has been meticulously restored... To the highly professional and top-notch staff.... It was fairytale perfect.
Matt Jonkman, president of the 1852 Foundation and purchaser of the mansion, takes great pride in the venue and it shows. We are still being told how amazing the mansion is. We had several attendees who spent most of their time at our wedding walking around and taking pictures of the mansion. It truly is extraordinary and unique place.
The real superstar was Director of Operations

Attended their Father's Day Brunch. The mansion offers a unique and beautiful dining venue in a historical setting.
The brunch was a flat rate for all you can eat and all non-alcoholic drinks included. That being said, I feel that the price was a little on the high side. Perhaps including one alcoholic drink per would compensate. The food was very good though and had a good variety of hot breakfast items as well as pastries. One complaint is that they had a nice selection of bagels sitting out with cream cheese and lox; however, there was no way to toast your bagel.

We have participated in both the Mother's Day and Father's Day Brunches held in the historic Fowler House Mansion. Just the setting alone is a remarkable dining experience. On Mother's Day, we sat on the covered patio near the fountain, watching downtown Lafayette traffic going by, relaxing and drinking mimosas. The food is great. Applewood smoked ham, french toast casserole, mini-quiches, cheese potatoes casserole for breakfast, and if you'd rather have lunch, bourbon chicken, and grilled bratwurst. Dessert and salad bars are included, and they are quality. The salad bar offers
