“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.”

“I had such a beautiful day. My fiancé and I couldn't have picked a better venue. The staff was lovely and welcoming from day one. Mrs Lauren was always so sweet to us and went above and beyond to make it the best day she could. I cry a bit writing this because I'm so happy and the memories I can cherish of this special day will be with me for a lifetime. All of the staff was so sweet. And they tried to accommodate what requests they could. The grounds are beautiful there. My only complaint is that I wish more people would have been able to attend to see how magical that they made this day for us.”

“If you love nature and want a fairy garden vibe to your wedding, then choose Palmettos on the Bayou!! We got married under a huge, mossy oak tree, and held our reception on the patio deck that is built around cypress trees and right up on the Bayou (no mosquitos or bugs either!). The wedding coordinator there makes everything so easy and they help guide you along the way. There is a cottage on site you can rent to get ready in, which is so spacious and cute! We got on site at 8am, and didn't have to leave the property until post reception! I seriously couldn't have asked of a better experience and the best part is we get to go back for an anniversary dinner every year. I will always recommend this venue to anyone who asks. 10000/10!!!”

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.
