If you want a classy wedding without all the hassles, I highly recommend The Gatehouse. The staff were very accommodating, and made what could have been a very stressful time, extremely easy. You can personalize as much as you like, or if you prefer to just let them do all the work, that's an option too. It included the venue, food, DJ, cake, even your guestbook. Basically, all you have to do is get your dress, minister, photographers, and flowers separately, and they even have recommendations for that! I HIGHLY recommend them!!

My friend Yolanda T Jones Williams and Marlon Williams did not have to worry.. Christie handled everything on the day of the wedding and throughout the entire experience! We were very pleased to the point that, I am contemplating having a destination wedding at the Gatehouse! I highly recommend the Gatehouse!"

While nothing is blooming right now as it's still February, you can still quietly walk around and take in the seasonal nature. There are plenty of benches spread about so you can sit and take a break if needed. The grounds are very clean and clear of debris. I look forward to going once things bloom and brighten up a bit.

There is also a museum called the Rural Life Museum that also charges a small admission fee. This is a nice small piece of Heaven in the middle of Baton Rouge. The sunflower field was a magical place to visit. There are many walking trails. You can even rent out s building for weddings and parties. I will definitely be revisiting this beautiful place again!

There is a barn area as well for brides who want to get married in that type of venue. The coordinator was very reachable. I heard things about the coordinating issues through Facebook reviews but I personally did not have any. They make it as smooth as possible for you. If I ever did a vow renewal or needed some other big event I would def look into going here first. One of the best in BR.

The ac wasn't working and instead of calling someone to fix it they show up a hour and a half later with box fans. The owner said she had a ac guy out that morning therfore she knew it wasn't working. Over half the party left due to the heat and sweating. When the owner arrived she had attitude like it was our fault. The other owner hung up on me and would return my calls. Very unprofessional
