Think high tea with scones and tidbit plates with the chandeliers brightly lit. Unfortunately, it wasn't set up like this, but it doesn't hurt to visualize, right? When I went, the venue was set up with rows of chairs and 2 grand pianos up front. Still quite lovely. It definitely could use a few updates, but not too many because it will take away from the historical feel of the space. I am not sure what else this space is most used for, but it's nice to know that it exists because I'd love to let more people know about it! It's definitely a hidden gem in downtown Baton Rouge.

It also had fresh radish and cucumber on the side for a nice fresh touch. The owner was super friendly and nice not just to me but to the other patrons. The food truck has its own space carved out under a gazebo with 4 tables with benches. The tacos were delicious and the handmade corn tortillas really set these tacos apart. They are better than any street tacos I've ever had and I've tried many from California.

Buy 9 get the 10th free or buy 10 get the 11th, I can't remember. It's a food truck with uncovered seating outside. The wait was about 7 minutes. The Birrias were good but the soup and beef could use a bit more flavor. There's a spicy sauce that was really good and made the tacos pop. I would still give them another try and order the Birrias again.

When the owner arrived she had attitude like it was our fault. The other owner hung up on me and would return my calls. Very unprofessional

The Guru is a great event space located at the amazing Circa 1857 complex. It's tucked away toward…read morethe middle of the overall campus so it's conveniently located by the large interior parking area. This parking is off road, very large, fenced, and seems quite safe. The space itself is surrounded by other buildings and is medium sized. In keeping with the name, there are meditative motifs to the interior decorations. This space seems quite versatile, our group used the round tables with nice table cloths and folding chairs to enjoy a potluck and then hold a meeting. The space could be kept entirely open, used for talks or lectures, or ay sort of party. There are overhead doors on one wall that presumably could be opened for an indoor/outdoor event. Circa 1857 has such a great location on Government Street right be the Garden District, that it would be a convenient place to have a meeting or event. So don't hesitate to consider The Guru for your next gathering!

The owner is very sweet and you can tell she truly wants to provide a unique event space at a reasonable price. Another thing I loved about The Guru was being able to bring in your own food. It was hard for me to find a venue that let me bring my own food but also had the right #aesthetic lol! I didn't even decorate the place because it already done. They provided me with the tables (high top, circle, & rectangle), chairs, and even have linens available. There are 2 bathrooms and a back room where you can have your food/buffet set up. They even have this really awesome bar cart that my bartender was able to use! It can double for a beverage/food station too. (You know I added plenty of pics :P ) This is an extra bonus but I recently learned they also can host meetings, interview recordings, and more so it's not just for parties or weddings. On top of that, learning that the owner works to give back to the community/non profits is heartwarming. If you need an intimate, "not too big but just right" space, give this place a look!

If you want a classy wedding without all the hassles, I highly recommend The Gatehouse. The staff were very accommodating, and made what could have been a very stressful time, extremely easy. You can personalize as much as you like, or if you prefer to just let them do all the work, that's an option too. It included the venue, food, DJ, cake, even your guestbook. Basically, all you have to do is get your dress, minister, photographers, and flowers separately, and they even have recommendations for that! I HIGHLY recommend them!!
