Boudreaux's is a large banquet facility located on Government Street near downtown Baton Rouge…read more Recently I attended a luncheon held here. I didn't have anything to do with the luncheon other than attending, so this a review of the service and facility as an attendee. As you enter there are two large areas with couches and chairs. There is a large ball room to the right, which for this event, was set for 200 people. The staff were professional and attentive. For this event we had a boneless pork chop, sweet potatoes and green beans. The food was good considering all 200 people were served at the same time. This venue is a nice space. There is a parking lot outside, but it looks like the facility will hold more people than the lot. In addition to being a nice banquet hall, I would imagine this would be a good venue for a wedding reception.

Not only was the food delicious, but everyone on their team was incredibly sweet and highly professional. They are able to prepare an amazing array of Southern dishes, and when I greeted my guests, all they could talk about was how absolutely divine the food was! Don't hesitate to give them a call and get something set up. They are professional, pay exceptional attention to detail, and will tailor their setup to fit your event perfectly.

My husband and I were invited to a friend's wedding this past weekend. We'd never been to White…read moreOak Plantation before so we didn't know what to expect. Upon arrival, we were impressed by the magnificient beauty of this place. It is GORGEOUS! The interior is very classy and elegant, with a beautiful staircase just as you enter. Outside, you are surrounded by exquisitely maintained gardens. It was absolutely stunning. It was an outside wedding, and the set up was nice. Afterward, we were guided to the patio area for the reception. There was a full bar set up to the left as you entered, and a mimosa station to the right of the patio. A nice set up area for the disc jockey. Hor d'oeurves were served to the guests while the guests waited for the arrival of the bride and groom. The hor d'oeurves they were serving were small boudin balls, grilled shrimp in bacon with what tasted like mild bbq sauce on them, and small grilled cheese. All were awesome. After the arrival of the bride and groom, the main food was served. They had this really cool set up that served shrimp and grits in martini glasses. You were able to add a variety of other items to your grits if you wanted. The other food areas served pork loin that could be made into small sandwiches. Another area had fried catfish, stuffed mushrooms, and pasta. The fried fish tasted as good as any restaurant I have ever been to. ALL of the food was restaurant quality, and served hot, not room temperature. I figured out it is owned by John Folse. You can definitely tell by the food quality! AWESOME! The staff were all VERY friendly and cordial. The facility was clean and well kept up. Absolutely gorgeous. I was nosy and asked the bride's mom what the event cost because it seemed to me that it HAD to be very expensive. I was actually stunned at the price she told me because I've been to weddings that cost significantly more, and were no where near as high class, elegant, simply GORGEOUS, and the food as fabulous. If you are looking for a venue for an event or a wedding, this hidden gem is DEFINITELY one to check out! ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS (I can't say this enough!)

There are many plantation homes in the South and there are a few that are very dear to me (Houmas House and Oak Alley) but White Oak is numero uno in my books. What sets it apart, for me, is that it is owned by John Folse. He is an incredible chef and I love everything that comes out of his kitchen. FYI: His king cake is the best I have ever eaten. So addictive! White Oak hosts many events here such as weddings, corporate meetings, and parties. They also do off-site catering. Danielle, Chef Pete, and the rest of the staff are top-notch and very professional. Come here if nothing else just to take a tour of this hidden treasure in Baton Rouge. If you really want to be blown away plan an event here!

The Guru is a great event space located at the amazing Circa 1857 complex. It's tucked away toward…read morethe middle of the overall campus so it's conveniently located by the large interior parking area. This parking is off road, very large, fenced, and seems quite safe. The space itself is surrounded by other buildings and is medium sized. In keeping with the name, there are meditative motifs to the interior decorations. This space seems quite versatile, our group used the round tables with nice table cloths and folding chairs to enjoy a potluck and then hold a meeting. The space could be kept entirely open, used for talks or lectures, or ay sort of party. There are overhead doors on one wall that presumably could be opened for an indoor/outdoor event. Circa 1857 has such a great location on Government Street right be the Garden District, that it would be a convenient place to have a meeting or event. So don't hesitate to consider The Guru for your next gathering!

The owner is very sweet and you can tell she truly wants to provide a unique event space at a reasonable price. Another thing I loved about The Guru was being able to bring in your own food. It was hard for me to find a venue that let me bring my own food but also had the right #aesthetic lol! I didn't even decorate the place because it already done. They provided me with the tables (high top, circle, & rectangle), chairs, and even have linens available. There are 2 bathrooms and a back room where you can have your food/buffet set up. They even have this really awesome bar cart that my bartender was able to use! It can double for a beverage/food station too. (You know I added plenty of pics :P ) This is an extra bonus but I recently learned they also can host meetings, interview recordings, and more so it's not just for parties or weddings. On top of that, learning that the owner works to give back to the community/non profits is heartwarming. If you need an intimate, "not too big but just right" space, give this place a look!
