New Wedding Venue in Mandeville
In 1990 both Mandeville City Hall and St. Tammany Parish governments agreed to split taxes that came out of the City of Mandeville. The catalyst for this tax sharing agreement was from annexation growth. As of November 2016, 6 1/3 acres of land that sits on the east side of Mandeville has been annexed into the city limits. The land will be the future home of The Greystone, an events hall and gardens. The city and the parish will split all sales tax
revenue that is generated by The Greystone.
Currently under construction, The Greystone is located at the intersection of Florida and Clausel Streets and is slated for completion March 2017. The main structure will be approximately 11,000 square feet which will include a 5,500 square foot grand ballroom and banquet area. There will also be an outdoor ceremony area, a complete kitchen and a private bridal suite. The remaining grounds will include gardens, gazebos, flowers, ponds and a rocky creek.
Owners Keith and Lynda Young, who also own Keith Young’s Steakhouse and The Crabby Shack in Madisonville, plan to use the site for corporate events, conferences, seminars, other large events and weddings. The Greystone will be able to hold 350 guest and Young hopes this will attract couples and organizations who want a larger venue to stay on the northshore and not venture to the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain. “We’re very excited about how this is turning out,” Keith Young said. “It’s a great piece of property with a great layout for weddings or any large event.”
