They were helpful but some things were stressful for us. We paid for the house for the weekend and even paid for the extra room for the rehearsal dinner, and after the rehearsal dinner they wouldn’t let us set up for the reception. The day after the wedding they wouldn’t let us clean out the reception hall until 8am but checkout was at 11, so we were up at 6 just waiting around until we could go in at 8 to clean up. Shelby was extremely helpful and even gave us the nicer rehearsal room due to the heavy rain, but they did shoo us out right at the minute that it ended. I guess you get what you pay for when you have a wedding at a venue though. She answers all our questions and it was a beautiful venue and a beautiful house, but I do wish they had a little more leniency. Felt a little strict. But it was a beautiful venue. Wish we could’ve used the pool but the mosquitoes were too bad at night.

From the moment we started planning, the team at Margaret Place made everything feel seamless. Communication was always prompt, warm, and thorough — we never felt like a burden, even with plenty of questions. Their planning support genuinely set us at ease. The venue itself is a dream. Margaret Place delivers a rare combination of historic charm (it’s a beautifully restored 1854 Greek Revival mansion) with modern, event-ready amenities. The courtyard and indoor/outdoor layout gave us flexibility — for the ceremony, reception, mingling, dancing — and made decorating easy. The on-site bridal suite deserves special praise. Spacious, with beautiful natural light, a wet bar, and a relaxed vibe — it was the perfect place for our friends and me to get ready and soak in the anticipation before walking down the aisle. Finally, the inclusive nature of the venue made planning far less stressful: furniture, sound, lighting, cleanup, even flexible vendor-selection (besides the bar) were all either included or simplified. Choosing Margaret Place for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. It wasn’t just a “venue” — it felt like a partner in our celebration. Every detail, from communication to ambiance to execution, exceeded our expectations. If you want a wedding that feels effortless, beautiful, and uniquely yours — this is the place.

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.

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?

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.
