13 Best Baton Rouge Wedding Venues
There are so many beautiful venues in Baton Rouge. You don't have to travel far to find some of the best mansions, large farms, rustic barns, historic buildings, and opulent government facilities. I've found that the best time of year to get married is in the spring and fall. Although all of these venues are beautiful year round, you should definitely consider the weather for you and your guests. If you happen to see an event venue that’s missing that you think should be on this list, you can message me at info@deeolmstead.com. The venue pricing listed is just a starting point. For a custom quote it's best to contact the venue itself.
