Extremely Easy To Find

     Albany Plantation’s wedding venue is located near the very small town of Albany which is centrally located in south Louisiana near New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The plantation is in an ideal location geographically to serve the New Orleans and Baton Rouge areas. It is located one hour from New Orleans and 40 minutes from Baton Rouge. The Albany Plantation venue is conveniently located to serve both the south shore and the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain due to Louisiana’s interstate highway system. The plantation is located only a few miles from the intersection of 2 major interstate highways. This is I-55 going north and south and I-12 going east and west – what a central location to serve all your wedding guests that are scattered throughout south Louisiana!!
     To find us, get on interstate I-12 and get off at the Albany exit (exit 32) and go north 5 miles and we are on the right. You will make no turns until reach the plantation which is only 5 miles from the exit off I-12 (now that is simple). Your guests will not get caught in city traffic, get lost or go through “bad neighborhoods.” A drive to Albany Plantation will be a pleasant and memorable experience and more than worth the drive for the one day that is so special.

Affordable Wedding Venue

      In a nutshell – we are one of the most reasonably priced Wedding Venues in the New Orleans/Baton Rouge areas– as we like to make our venue accessible to more than the rich and famous. Why try to go inexpensive and rent a hall with all the institutional trappings, and spend a couple of thousand dollars decorating in an attempt to make it look like something? After all the work, the time and the expense, that inexpensive hall won’t be so inexpensive and still be a long ways from the features and environment that Albany Plantation (as is, without any decoration) will provide. Of course you can decorate if you wish but on the other hand this is one big expense that could be totally thrown out or kept to a minimum if you wish.
     Albany Plantation is a vintage class act. As with most things in life it only cost a little more to go first class. Also with us you can save on the food expense because you’re not locked into an in house caterer. You are not boxed in with food choices at this venue. Albany Plantation has no monetary incentive in referring particular vendors to the brides and grooms who book with us. If there is any leeway or price breaks that vendors can give, it goes to the benefit of the bride and groom. The wedding venue you choose is the foundation for your wedding event. When choosing your wedding location go for the best, go for a festival atmosphere, go for the impact you want to make upon your guests. All other wedding related expenses should be secondary to the venue. Years from now your guests will remember the venue setting in which everything takes place before they remember the food or anything else relating to your special day. Albany Plantation is a rare and exceptional venue every wedding event held at Albany Plantation has been custom and different than the others. The options are virtually endless at our venue, so you’re guaranteed not to have a cookie cutter wedding.

Choose Albany Plantation for your Louisiana events.

Southern/Cajun Hospitality
     

Among the New Orleans/Baton Rouge and the North shore area venues we are the one with the strong Deep South Cajun flavor. We are the standard for the vintage scene. As your guests arrive they will immediately notice the big difference, even before they get out of their car. No concrete parking lot, each car is personally directed by attendants to park on the grass on the south side of the plantation house. This really sets Albany Plantation apart from other venues and your guests will love the personal attention. This sets the stage for your guests to relax and enjoy your special day.
     We don’t have a lot of rules, but plenty of sights for your guests to take in with their cameras. The old 18th century architecture and the rural rustic backdrop of the outbuildings will be conversation pieces for everybody and will keep the party going. Create your own party atmosphere. Place your band or our DJ high up on the balcony of the garconniere above the dance floor in the courtyard. For those who like to dance, get ready to “second line” on the second floor balconies or down in the courtyard below. Bring those umbrellas or white handkerchiefs; it’ll be more fun than Mardi Gras. This is a scene that your photographer will be focused on; it’ll be your own little private jazz festival.
      As we Cajuns would say, they will “let the good times roll” or “Laissez les bons temps rouler.” The whole scene is one of a “festival” that will give a tremendous boost to the joy experienced on your wedding day. Albany Plantation is the #1 place to party in the Deep South for more pictures of our South Louisiana Cajun wedding style venue, view our gallery or see how other brides are decorating for their special day at our Facebook Page.
