Tucked away near the Perkins Road Overpass, bring your own chair, blanket, snacks, drinks, and listen to great music for a fair entry price when they are hosting concerts. You can rent the venue for a party or wedding. I've been to both events there. There is a stage and an indoor space, as well as clean restrooms and seating options. The grounds are beautiful, and the acoustics are perfect. Follow their social media for events, and contact them for your next reunion, party, wedding, or other needs. Note, parking is all around the area, under the overpass and in other areas. You may have a walk a little, but it's well lit and beautiful.

I have spent several Saturday's following the parade lounging in the grass, drinking beer, while listening to good music. It is a cool place for receptions. I have attended a couple of wedding and receptions here. There are two small buildings on the property which are multi purpose. The owner, Mr. Les, is very helpful and accommodating for your event needs.

Way before I was engaged, I saw this place on Facebook. I knew right then it would be where my…read morefuture wedding would be. I fell in love with the pictures. When I did get engaged I contacted them and met with Niki to see the place in person. It was so beautiful. We decided to have the ceremony in my church and just the reception there. I was worried about having to decorate because I don't do well with that. Have no fear. Aimee is amazing and so talented. She is the owner of the place. Bring your Pinterest pictures and your colors. She comes up with the decorating schemes and it looks so amazing. She has so much energy and is so pleasant to work with. She meets with you about two weeks before the wedding to go over everything. We actually had to move our date three times because of covid, and she worked so well with us! When you walk in, there is a big room with beautiful chandelier, tables set up, a fireplace with cake table, and all the little touches to make the room elegant. There are other rooms to mingle in. There is also a gorgeous courtyard. She had my bridal portrait and guest book set up by the door. I had treat bags for favors and she set them up so nice! We used her DJ and people have a great time on the dance floor. When it was time to eat, she had a little cabin in the back set up for us to have a private dinner alone for awhile. Even the drinks were set up so pretty. You don't have to worry about anything with them. I knew I was going to love it, but it honestly was better than I could have imagined. Even though our wedding was cut down to a small group because of covid, the disappointment wasn't there because we still had such a beautiful reception! They also do parties and showers and other events. I would recommend this place to everyone!

However, if you are looking for somewhere that the owner and staff are exceptional, especially since you are paying thousands of dollars for the experience, this may not be the place for you. If you don't tolerate rudeness, disorganization and the owner not showing up for your meeting, you probably want to spend your money elsewhere.

Her daughter is the precious girl on her business cards I posted in the pics. Fine and Dandy is located in Gonzales, just barely past Prairieville, so super close to Baton Rouge! It's nestled in a little strip mall, currently next to a kickboxing studio. I went at night, but my GPS still took me right to it. I was invited to a painting party and was excited that it was not the same ones I'd been to before where you follow the teacher as she talks you through painting inside the lines. It felt way more creative than that and was completely personalized! Our group of ladies pre-ordered and pre-paid from several choices ahead of time, then they were waiting for us on the table when we walked in! We each made a completely unique, monogrammed masterpiece! I chose the circle with my last name, what year my family was established (est.), and the big letter for my last name - all framed by Mardi Gras beads! I painted mine purple and gold to use all year round for this LSU fan. Truly something I needed as I have nothing on my front door majority of the year. Ashley had great color choices, was helpful to give suggestions and helped finalize the project, but also left you plenty of room for you to let your artsy side just flow! Oh and I can't forget! She has an adorable gift shop set up in her studio too. Lots of local vendors sell items there, and she always does vinyl clothing (like monogramming), and I'm sure way more other options than I even realized. And she said she's constantly getting in new items. Definitely a place to check out on a regular basis and also a place to plan a birthday party for kids, girls' nights, Girl Scout Troop's, etc. And you could totally make a creation to then gift to someone as I'm sure they'd love it! People love monogrammed, y'all! Truly can't wait to return!!

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!

The property is enormous with a rustic barnyard ready to be the setting for your next special event. It's completely ideal for weddings, where the ceremony is in the grassy field under a giant tree and the reception in the barn area. Twinklelights brighten the room and transformed it into something magical. Dr. Grace, the owner of the property is super helpful and hospitable to those that come to enjoy the beauty of his venue. Anytime there is an event here, I always want to make sure I attend. There is nothing commercial about it and that is what make it so appealing. It's truly an authentic southern space that you will definitely fall in love with and keep in the back of your mind for your next special function. It's located in Plaquemine, LA (about 20 minutes outside of Baton Rouge).

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.
