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!

My wedding at Arlington Mansion was nothing less that perfect! The mansion and gardens are beautiful and just what I envisioned for my classic southern wedding. I rented the mansion the night before for me and my bridesmaids and the rooms were comfortable and luxurious. My husband and I also stayed in the honeymoon suite the night of our wedding which was the perfect ending to our wedding. The staff were professional and helpful and always ready to answer any questions I had. They went out of their way to make sure that my wedding ran smoothly. We had use of the full property and mansion which is not like anywhere else. And they are right on the waterfront which gave a beautiful ambiance under the oaks. I would definitely recommend Arlington Mansion!
