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!)

White Oak is an amazing place! The grounds are beautiful and filled with lush greenery. The…read moreplantation house is splendid with its huge columns, beautiful staircase, and antique furnishings. 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 chefs introduce themselves and shows you the bathrooms and water fountains on the way to the room. Once you get to the room there are 3 people to a station.

I have taken a healthy Italian class, a Cajun breakfast class, another Cajun entrees class, and this time I took a Cajun seafood class. Every class has made me leave with such a great experience.

All guests say the food was great and we had lots of guests to feed... food was ready on time, stayed stocked, and no one had a complaint! This was a feat for a kitchen keeping up with 400+ guests. Lisa Anne kept us on track through the night and made sure we followed our schedule best we could. We were able to use the venue for our engagement shoot and are SO HAPPY with the photos. If we had to do it all over again, we'd absolutely choose Mount Hope again. While the venue itself is pretty big, the parking is small in contrast. We had 400+ attendees and had to figure out our own shuttle and separate parking situation which was tough and posed various challenges, but turned out okay. They tell you that they are not responsible for your parking situation. This is on you which is fair!! Just a heads up that the parking is not really big so you need to think through that if you're having a big wedding. A few items of mine never turned up after... just a pointer to have everything on your list to be picked up by family after, even think of things you might be wearing in case you change, etc because there's a chance they won't be returned to you. That is on you. They did hold some things our groomsmen brought that were not on the list so it's possible, just do not expect it. Just keep this in mind because things slip your mind in the hectic day!
