Louisiana is known for its exemplary cultural, culinary, and historic vibrance and as such is a unique destination for a wedding. The state is also known for its amazing landscapes, and cities such as Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and Ruston are perfect basecamps for a perfect wedding. For a quintessential experience of Southern hospitality, you can add in a grand reception or a buffet dinner! Make sure to infuse a bit of Cajun music to bring in a bit of local magic to your ceremony.

”There’s honestly not enough positive things I could say about this absolutely beautiful venue and the people that own it. Alli works tirelessly to make sure your day goes smooth and stress-free. She owns many items brides are free to use. She has tables, chairs, table cloths, centerpieces, etc. so you do not have to rent anything! Her ultimate goals are with the bride in mind and she meets the vision you have with ease! I got married here at the end of October and it was beautiful time of year to have an outdoor wedding. Thank you White Oak Venue, Alli & Dustin, and the rest of the team for your dedication to making dreams come true!.“ - by Google reviewer, Kara Teague
