At Social Entertainment, we’re not just planning events, we’re building culture. Founded with a mission to elevate Lafayette’s cultural and entertainment landscape, we’ve grown into a full-service entertainment powerhouse with a passion for hospitality, creativity, and connection.
From live music and signature concert series to short-term rentals, catering, and community-driven initiatives, everything we do is designed to curate unforgettable experiences that bring people together and make our city feel alive.
We take pride in producing events that not only entertain but also enrich the communities we serve—especially right here in Acadiana. Whether it’s a crowd-swaying concert, a one-of-a-kind gathering, or a collaborative local project, our work reflects the vibrant spirit of South Louisiana.
