The Spanish moss on oak trees and meld of French Cajun and antebellum culture and architecture make southern Louisiana plantations the ultimate venues when planning romantic destination weddings. Destination weddings are more like a vacation for your guests as the wedding festivities last an entire weekend or even a week as opposed to having an hour-long wedding ceremony followed by a reception that last a few hours. These traditional weddings often leave out-of-town guests at a loss of what to do. Most of the plantations in Louisiana are located within a reasonable distance from Baton Rouge and New Orleans, which offers you guests a multitude of activities and entertainment from which to choose. Additionally, the temperate climate makes southern Louisiana an ideal place to plan an outdoor wedding ceremony.

Many of Louisiana plantations offer complete wedding packages so you just have to invite your guests, while others will recommend local photographers, florists, and caterers.
