Tucked away near the Perkins Road Overpass, bring your own chair, blanket, snacks, drinks, and listen to great music for a fair entry price when they are hosting concerts. You can rent the venue for a party or wedding. I've been to both events there. There is a stage and an indoor space, as well as clean restrooms and seating options. The grounds are beautiful, and the acoustics are perfect. Follow their social media for events, and contact them for your next reunion, party, wedding, or other needs. Note, parking is all around the area, under the overpass and in other areas. You may have a walk a little, but it's well lit and beautiful.

I have spent several Saturday's following the parade lounging in the grass, drinking beer, while listening to good music. It is a cool place for receptions. I have attended a couple of wedding and receptions here. There are two small buildings on the property which are multi purpose. The owner, Mr. Les, is very helpful and accommodating for your event needs.

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.

She has made some great changes to Ashley Manor, updating its look a little. She helps everything run smoothly! The food here is awesome! Our wedding guests have told us they loved the food and they thought the venue was beautiful (both the barn and the reception hall). I would highly recommended this venue for a wedding. We were so happy with everything and have no regrets.

Now this is a hidden gem. I was made aware of this property last year, when Slow Food…read moreOrganization's "Dinner In The Field" event was held there. The property is enormous with a rustic barnyard ready to be the setting for your next special event. It's completely ideal for weddings, where the ceremony is in the grassy field under a giant tree and the reception in the barn area. Twinklelights brighten the room and transformed it into something magical. Dr. Grace, the owner of the property is super helpful and hospitable to those that come to enjoy the beauty of his venue. Anytime there is an event here, I always want to make sure I attend. There is nothing commercial about it and that is what make it so appealing. It's truly an authentic southern space that you will definitely fall in love with and keep in the back of your mind for your next special function. It's located in Plaquemine, LA (about 20 minutes outside of Baton Rouge).

Maybe I'm a highfalutin person. I don't know. But the Lyceum did not impress me at all. I will say…read morethat it is a good space to hold an event as it has plenty of room downstairs and up. What I didn't really care for was the look. The interior looks dated like nothing has been replaced since the 80's. The walls are all white and could probably use some artwork or a coat of paint. The chandliers should be replaced too as they looked old. I like venues that appeal to the eye as much as anything else when going to a party/event. The Lyceum didn't catch my eye. The staff is really nice over there and they have plenty of booze for the events so yeah.

A professional group that I'm involved with is considering this space for our closing party at a conference in Baton Rouge later this year. We didn't have an appointment but the manager just happened to be in and gave us a tour. What a fabulous space! I guess it's an old ballroom and while it was a bit grungy (can't fault them we dropped in unexpectedly), it's got such great architectural details. I hope this is where our party ends up.

As one of the city's most versatile and treasured venues, the Varsity Theatre is known well by the…read moreBaton Rouge faithful as a great place to see a show. Located just outside of the LSU campus, it has been a mainstay in the area for decades. While it's mainly concerts that rock this venue, I've attended corporate events, watched LSU Tiger games, and enjoyed a show or two in years past. I've always enjoyed my time here. Not to be confused with a cinema, this multifaceted venue has played host to a number of events and has partnered with many organizations both local and national to feature great acts and some for great causes. My favorite event in the past was a Saints game night, where for $12 one got unlimited beers (Bud Lights only?) and all the hot dogs one could eat, as well as red beans and rice. If that deal is still available, I'll be floored. The parking isn't the most friendly. Street parking is usually that is available and it's more luck than anything else. The Varsity is in good company with a number of other super famous establishments located within the same block. Figuratively, one could chow down at Chimes, play games at Barcade, drink their face off here, and then head to Louie's or Raising Canes for some late night food. This is such a prime location that it's great for a solid casual night out. From concerts to comedy nights, there is literally not a thing that this place can't host. While I do wish for a slightly better men's bathroom, unsightly conditions do happen at places that holds hundreds of people at a time. Peep their schedule on their website and social media for what's happening next.

The parking lot is behind the building and is not big at all. Fortunately we were able to park across at LSU visitors parking lot and walk about 3 minutes down to the venue. The line was wrapped around the building but it moved quickly. I did will call tickets and had no problem with my name being found on the list. There was a bar with about 10 barstools set up but those were taken. I would suggest being first in line to get a seat at one of these. Upstairs had a few tables but once again those were taken. I ended up watching the show against the wall next to the railing and had a good view of everything. I had a Basic Bitch drink which was surprisingly good. Drink was huge and was only $11. I will definitely look for more events at this venue.
