The Carriage House at HSM

The Carriage House at HSM is a distinctive event venue in Jeffersonville, Indiana, set within the historic Howard Steamboat Museum campus near downtown Louisville. The restored carriage house combines architectural character with practical facilities for organisers planning weddings, receptions, business meetings, private parties, ceremonies and community gatherings.

The main venue offers an adaptable setting for daytime and evening events, with space for more than 100 guests and seating capacity of up to 120 indoors. Larger celebrations can make use of the surrounding 2.5-acre grounds, where outdoor dining, dancing, ceremonies, photography and tented arrangements can be planned. The enclosed courtyard, landscaped setting and historic buildings create a memorable backdrop for wedding photography, receptions and special occasions.

Wedding organisers can arrange reception-only bookings, full-day celebrations or ceremony hire. The venue also includes separate bridal and groom’s preparation areas, helping wedding parties organise their day comfortably on site. For professional and business meetings, the Carriage House provides a smaller-scale meeting solution with house audiovisual equipment, a projector, screen, sound system, microphone and Wi-Fi.

For more intimate gatherings, the nearby Laundry House offers a compact, climate-controlled space for small meetings, birthday parties, micro-weddings and private functions. The venue supplies standard tables and chairs, with additional options available for outdoor seating and tents. Organisers may work with licensed professional caterers and approved bar service providers, allowing them to shape the food and drinks around their event. With its combination of heritage surroundings, flexible layouts and dedicated event facilities, the Carriage House provides a versatile setting for celebrations and business occasions in Southern Indiana and the Louisville area.
