There is a barn area as well for brides who want to get married in that type of venue. The coordinator was very reachable. I heard things about the coordinating issues through Facebook reviews but I personally did not have any. They make it as smooth as possible for you. If I ever did a vow renewal or needed some other big event I would def look into going here first. One of the best in BR.

She has made some great changes to Ashley Manor, updating its look a little. She helps everything run smoothly! The food here is awesome!

We were so happy with everything and have no regrets.

As one of the city's most versatile and treasured venues, the Varsity Theatre is known well by the…read moreBaton Rouge faithful as a great place to see a show. Located just outside of the LSU campus, it has been a mainstay in the area for decades. While it's mainly concerts that rock this venue, I've attended corporate events, watched LSU Tiger games, and enjoyed a show or two in years past. I've always enjoyed my time here. Not to be confused with a cinema, this multifaceted venue has played host to a number of events and has partnered with many organizations both local and national to feature great acts and some for great causes. My favorite event in the past was a Saints game night, where for $12 one got unlimited beers (Bud Lights only?) and all the hot dogs one could eat, as well as red beans and rice. If that deal is still available, I'll be floored. The parking isn't the most friendly. Street parking is usually that is available and it's more luck than anything else. The Varsity is in good company with a number of other super famous establishments located within the same block. Figuratively, one could chow down at Chimes, play games at Barcade, drink their face off here, and then head to Louie's or Raising Canes for some late night food. This is such a prime location that it's great for a solid casual night out. From concerts to comedy nights, there is literally not a thing that this place can't host. While I do wish for a slightly better men's bathroom, unsightly conditions do happen at places that holds hundreds of people at a time. Peep their schedule on their website and social media for what's happening next.

My first time going here after passing it for many years. I saw R&B artist Tamia and had a…read morewonderful time. The only negative would be parking. The parking lot is behind the building and is not big at all. Fortunately we were able to park across at LSU visitors parking lot and walk about 3 minutes down to the venue. The line was wrapped around the building but it moved quickly. I did will call tickets and had no problem with my name being found on the list. There was a bar with about 10 barstools set up but those were taken. I would suggest being first in line to get a seat at one of these. Upstairs had a few tables but once again those were taken. I ended up watching the show against the wall next to the railing and had a good view of everything. I had a Basic Bitch drink which was surprisingly good. Drink was huge and was only $11. I will definitely look for more events at this venue.

Maybe I'm a highfalutin person. I don't know. But the Lyceum did not impress me at all. I will say…read morethat it is a good space to hold an event as it has plenty of room downstairs and up. What I didn't really care for was the look. The interior looks dated like nothing has been replaced since the 80's. The walls are all white and could probably use some artwork or a coat of paint. The chandliers should be replaced too as they looked old. I like venues that appeal to the eye as much as anything else when going to a party/event. The Lyceum didn't catch my eye. The staff is really nice over there and they have plenty of booze for the events so yeah.

A professional group that I'm involved with is considering this space for our closing party at a conference in Baton Rouge later this year. We didn't have an appointment but the manager just happened to be in and gave us a tour. What a fabulous space! I guess it's an old ballroom and while it was a bit grungy (can't fault them we dropped in unexpectedly), it's got such great architectural details. I hope this is where our party ends up.

We waited in line outside till the doors opened for the show then made our way in. The coolest part was realizing this was a record store! Lots of great finds in here.

Great crowd, great acoustics. My husband and I loved it. Hopefully we'll have another chance to check it out soon!

It's a place that invites reflection and appreciation for the craftsmanship and legacy preserved there. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a photography lover, or simply looking for a quiet and beautiful place to unwind, Greenwood Plantation offers something special. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone seeking a unique, memorable, and deeply charming stay. One thing I didn't realize when I booked our stay was the bed and breakfast is a separate building area across the pond looking at the mansion. I booked thinking we would be actually in the mansion which was exciting but after reading the website again it clearly states this.
