I could not pull off a wonderful review like this without a great venue partner. For brides looking for an all inclusive destination wedding location, the Canal Street is awesome and perfect. One of our happy clients: I am beyond grateful to have had Kristen as our wedding planner for our destination wedding at the Canal Street Inn. Planning a wedding from out of town can be overwhelming, but she made the entire process not just manageable, but truly enjoyable! From the very beginning, Kristen took the time to understand our vision and preferences. She provided invaluable insights into the local culture and customs, ensuring that our wedding was a beautiful blend of our personal touch and the charm of the destination. What impressed me the most was her incredible organization and communication skills. Despite the distance Kristen kept us informed every step of the way, coordinating everything from vendor bookings to logistics. She always made time to answer all our questions, making us feel connected and supported throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, Kristen and her team worked tirelessly to ensure that everything went perfectly. They managed all the details seamlessly, allowing us to focus on celebrating with our family and friends. It was truly a dream come true, and I was able to enjoy every moment without any stress. Thank you, Kristen and PK Events for your dedication, creativity, and hard work. You turned our destination wedding into a magical experience that we and our guests will cherish forever. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding, especially if you’re looking for someone who can expertly handle the complexities of a destination event!- Love, September Bride

Where do I even begin!!! The Balcony Ballroom has been family to my parents & I for as long as I can remember! I’ve worked so many brides wedding days there and see the way they operate so choosing them for my special day was a no brainer. From the day I booked, through a pandemic (original date 3/28/20), and to my new wedding date (9/18/20) Vanessa, Mike, and Jay were there every step of the way!! They were always a phone call away and helped me with every question or concern that I had! This place is THE. REAL. DEAL!!! They always go above & beyond for every single one of their couples! The food, service and the staff is unbeatable! My guests are still talking about how amazing everything was!! My husband & I can’t thank The Balcony enough for everything they did to make our day PERFECT! We can’t wait to have another celebration there down the road to renew our vows :)

Heirloom Fields is a family-run blueberry farm and open-air event space tucked away in Loranger, Louisiana. We fell in love with these 16 acres while painting live weddings here and jumped at the chance to care for the land ourselves. We cap our calendar at one wedding per weekend so you never feel rushed. Spend your morning getting ready in our private, 1,600 sq. ft. cottage—complete with a built-in salon vanity, full kitchen, and porch (which also doubles as a cozy honeymoon night stay for two). Out on the grounds, you’ll find ancient white oaks, quiet rows of berries, a pond, and permanent climate-controlled restrooms. Whether you envision saying "I do" under the oaks or planning a tented reception under the stars, our open-vendor policy gives you complete freedom to bring in the caterers, musicians, and stylists who fit your vision. Most of all, we run Heirloom Fields like family, helping make sure your day feels easy, peaceful, and entirely yours.

I fell in love with Heirloom Fields while doing a live wedding painting there, and I immediately understood why couples choose this venue. The setting feels like you're getting married in a family backyard that happens to be absolutely stunning—there's a relaxed, intimate quality that sets it apart from typical event spaces. What struck me most is how intentional everything feels; nothing about this place screams generic or cookie-cutter. The owners clearly care about creating an experience rather than just hosting an event. If you're looking for a venue with character and genuine warmth, Heirloom Fields delivers on both fronts.

Greg and I couldn’t be happier with the venue or the service that the Lake House Reception Center provided! We had recently been to another couple’s wedding at a popular venue in Baton Rouge. The food was terrible, the cake was terrible and the over all coordination of the wedding was lacking. Lauren guided me through every step and calmed my nerves about all my concerns. Lauren and her team were top notch!! We even caught a picture of her smiling while she was videoing our first day. Thank you so much for making our day even more special than we could imagine!

Louisiana Castle It’s such a joy getting married here! The venue is of course beautiful and had many of our guests going “What? A castle?” Everyone loved the experience of being there and being able to take photos on the Castle steps. Yes, it is far from the city, but we warned our guests and they were okay to drive home. This venue was a lot cheaper than others in New Orleans and the food was good as well. We wished we could have tried the food options prior to making selections, but it ended up fine regardless. Dolly is so sweet and makes sure that your financials are on track without being overbearing. Mary was instrumental in making the day go smoothly. My side of the family has a language barrier, and even they thought she was amazing and so easy to work with. She took care of so much and used her experience to make everything run well while also allowing us to do what we wanted as the bride and groom. Our bartenders were running late due to a van breakdown, and the Castle staff got all hands on deck to unload the alcohol and make sure that cocktail hour would still happen as planned. The views here made for the most incredible photos. Even better was staying at the Castle overnight – we got to walk around after all the guests had left, and the views from the Juliette Suite the next morning were gorgeous. The cleanup staff were so considerate and had taken their shoes off so that they wouldn’t wake us up while they cleaned the ballroom! Overall – we had a dream wedding and can’t recommend Louisiana Castle enough.

We worked with Raven and she answered all our questions and helped us coordinate our beautiful rehearsal for 34 guests. The food was absolutely delicious, and they adjusted how it was released to time well with our speeches. They were also able to help accommodate food allergies as well. We loved working with their team, and their bar team also created fun unique drinks for our guests! So grateful we chose The Court of Two Sisters.

I am so excited to write this review for the Royal Frenchmen Hotel and Bar Team. We live in Maryland, and while I have family who is local to NOLA, we were taking a chance on a venue we had never visited. But, even working with Chloe before our contract was signed, I felt confident that all of my questions were getting answered, and that even the questions I hadn’t thought to ask, would still be taken care of. And I was right. We worked with their team from June 2023 to our wedding weekend August 2024 and Chloe and I slowly worked through every possible detail before we arrived. We got to visit the venue in January and they were such gracious hosts to us and my family. We even got to meet more of the team, all just as warm and kind. During our visit they treated us to a bar tasting to curate our menu with their award winning bar tenders, as well as had our caterers come in to customize our menu. And the food, was of course New Orleans level taste and quality. DELICIOUS. We were huge fans of all the vendors they suggested, from the band, to the bakeries for our cake, to the amazing photographer and videographer skills you see in the photos attached. They prioritized our needs, and always listened to what we requested, while also providing expert guidance when we weren’t sure what was the best plan. Even in the middle of the thunderstorms that arrived the week leading up to our day, they ensured our plan was in tact with a tent that was so beautifully decorated I couldn’t believe it wasn’t part of the original layout. As our guests arrived to stay for the weekend, and filed in on Saturday for the wedding, we continued to receive such beautiful feedback on how attentive they were to guests before, during, and after the wedding. We plan to continue to be visitors of this awesome hotel and bar to reminisce our magical day, but I want to make sure other couples get the chance to experience the care, warmth, and amazing service provided by the Royal Frenchmen team for their special day.

Our wedding day was nothing short of magical thanks to everyone at the Chicory! Jenna, Kimberly, and their team did everything to make our day as perfect and stress-free as possible. We chose the Chicory because of its beautiful interior, outdoor space option for our ceremony, and the food; and none of it disappointed on the day of our wedding! They offer so many food options and everything was amazing! Our guests are already raving about how delicious the everything was. My biggest concern about planning a wedding without a wedding planner was how things would work day of, but Kimberly and Jenna took care of everything once we arrived at the venue, so I didn't have to worry about a thing except enjoying my wedding! I can't recommend the Chicory enough!

House of Broel was built as a story and a half family dwelling in 1850 in the Garden District of New Orleans. In 1884 the family decided they needed room for weddings and parties so they had the house lifted, making it a two and a half story mansion that we use today for events as they did back centuries ago. The Victorian style makes for the perfect romantic setting for your wedding, as well as the enjoyment of being on historic Saint Charles Avenue with its access to many five star hotels and the Street Car line.

I was so happy to have been able to have given my niece the best day of her life. I had the honor of walking her down the aisle, since her father passed away. Thanks to House of Broel the evening was everything she dreamed of. The outside garden setting was so romantic. The highlight of the evening was my uncle age 94 on the dance floor for his last dance in life. My niece said it was so much fun having her family and friends all dancing in the iconic ballroom. Great DJ! The whole staff made us feel welcome and relaxed. I highly recommend this venue. It was a true New Orleans experience

About wedding venues in Louisiana

Looking for the perfect wedding venue in Louisiana? The state delivers a distinct blend of Southern charm, French Quarter elegance, and bayou landscapes that you won't find anywhere else. Your venue options range from rustic barns to grand plantation estates and sleek urban spaces, giving you incredible variety to match your personal wedding vision.

What Makes Louisiana Wedding Venues Special?

Louisiana's wedding venues showcase the state's rich heritage through historic mansions with classic wrought-iron balconies, converted industrial spaces featuring exposed brick, and stunning waterfront properties along the Mississippi River. The Tigermen Den in New Orleans preserves authentic Creole architecture that tells a story with every corner. Over in Kentwood, The White Magnolia spreads across 110 acres of countryside scenery where you can truly escape the everyday. Louisiana Castle delivers a fairy-tale experience you and your guests won't forget with its medieval-inspired architecture throughout the 10-acre estate; it's Louisiana's unique take on European elegance that combines the best of both worlds.

How Much Do Wedding Venues Cost in Louisiana?

Wedding venue costs in Louisiana average around $6,399, which makes up about 15% of your total wedding cost for 150 guests. For a better idea of what you might spend overall:

Guest CountTotal Wedding Budget
50 guests$18,275
100 guests$30,318
150 guests$41,642
200 guests$51,768
250 guests$61,894
300 guests$72,020
Most couples book their Louisiana venues about 14 months ahead of time, so you'll want to start looking early. All-inclusive packages start around $8,658 at places like the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center, giving you tremendous value for a worry-free planning experience.

Where Can You Find Accessible Wedding Venues in Louisiana?

The Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center offers 20,000 sq ft of event space with full ADA-compliant features that can accommodate up to 900 guests. You'll find the LSU AgCenter Botanic Gardens provides elegant garden settings with both indoor and outdoor options perfect for gatherings of 100-140 guests. Cypress Grove Wedding Venue features charming rustic elements with an open-air chapel and indoor reception space that works beautifully for mobility-concerned guests. The White Magnolia in Kentwood gives you 110 acres of picturesque countryside where you can create a truly private ceremony experience with accessibility features for those who need them.

When Should You Book Your Louisiana Wedding Venue?

Most couples secure their Louisiana venues 14 months (or about 425 days) before their wedding date, so you'll want to start your search early if you have your heart set on a specific location. December sees the highest number of venue inquiries as newly engaged couples begin planning. Fall months from September through November are the most sought-after wedding dates thanks to Louisiana's milder temperatures that make outdoor ceremonies much more comfortable for you and your guests.

Cajun Mansion in Youngsville offers intimate, all-inclusive packages with customized experiences that can incorporate interactive virtual setups so distant loved ones feel truly present.
