The Gatehouse

I don't think things could have been any better! Laura I appreciate all you did to make Amy and Dustin's day so beautiful! Your help and willingness to do "whatever needed to be done" was amazing! This made for a day that can be very stressful and tense into a day that was wonderful and absolutely beautiful! Thank you for working with me(the Mother of the Groom) and helping anytime i called or came by. I feel you did an awesome job and I can't thank you enough! I am so glad we chose The Gatehouse!Thank you Robyn Alise

I loved the Gatehouse! I've gotten so many complements on the location of the wedding and reception and I couldn't agree more. The hall is gorgeous, the food was great, the wedding coordinator, Laura, was awesome. I'm very very pleased with the service I got there and would recommend them without hesitations.

The Gatehouse was a wonderful experience for our wedding. It is a smaller venue, but we didn't have a large wedding. AND BOY WAS IT A FAIRYTALE! My host was a pro at handling anything that came up and was ontop of everything. The food was surperb! I couldn't have imagined our evening better. They have great packages that included my cake, the food, the ceremony and reception, decorations, napkins, and more! I had a wonder experience and would reccomend them to anyone that was looking for a venue!

Laura is my favorite person in the world, and everyone involved in my wedding seemed to feel the same way. I just can't imagine getting through the wedding without her! There were so many people and so much going on. I was so glad Laura had my worksheets with her, and she knew EXACTLY what I wanted and made it happen.The Gatehouse includes so much! The food was amazing, the cake was delicious and beautiful, the DJ played some great songs that fit right in with our tastes (but he did cut songs short during the ceremony instead of fading them out, it was a little abrupt). The location itself was perfect, everything was clean, well-maintained, and they turned the patio from ceremony to reception in no time! The entire staff was so polite and friendly.I cannot imagine trying to plan a whole wedding without the Gatehouse. They took care of just about everything. I am really glad we did a separate rehearsal the night before the wedding. That was a really good decision, and Laura stayed until we made sure everyone knew their part.We took home more leftovers than we could possibly eat. All our keepsakes and extras went home with our parents so we could pick it all up later. I didn't worry about ANYTHING on my wedding day. And if I did begin to stress, Laura was right there to put a glass of water or champagne in my hand, touch up my lipstick, and always had a smile on her face.We've been hearing every day from different people that it was the most elegant, simple, stress-free wedding our families have ever attended.

The main reason I have given the place lower ratings is because I spent the last two months prior to my wedding picking out the perfect song for me to walk down the aisle to. I gave them a cd of the song (because they didnt have it) about a week before the wedding. Right before I walked down the aisle Laura said the cd was not working and aparently the cd only had a few seconds on it. Why wasn't this tested BEFORE the ceremony?? I understand I didnt give them very much time to test it but even 30 minutes before would have been better. Also, they played my cake song during my first dance song. Very annoying. And tried to make it seem as tho I was responsible because I changed the order of things although that was not true at all! OTHER THAN THAT....I love the place. It is beautiful and Laura was very helpful with everything. They even altered the menu for me. And my bridal party decided to use silly string on us as we left (against the rules btw) and Laura was very cool about it and did not get upset. She helped me stay calm and was always their when I needed her. So I guess its their dj I am unhappy with. I was never allowed to meet with him and I do not even know who he was. So I would be cautious but if you have traditional music I would go for it! It was a beautiful scene for my wedding!! oh, and the wedding cake is included and they have many choices!

I couldn't have wanted my wedding to be anymore perfect and amazing!! They took care of everything and made the whole process up to my wedding day the best experience EVER!!! The gazebo area is beautiful! I didn't bring many decorations and I'm glad I didn't b/c once everything was ready it was perfect! Laura is the best, most wonderful person I have ever met! She did not let me worry about a thing from the minute I got there to the minute I left! I would recomment them to anyone and everyone who needed a venue for any special events.

I could not have been more pleased, my reception at The Gatehouse was remarkable, It was wonderful she helped us on every little detail, I relied on her expertise since i did not have a coordinator, everything turned out perfect.All of my out of town guests felt very welcome and comfortable during their stay.

Great place for a reception. They took care of everything and made planning the reception easy. The food is amazing and they were so organized that we didn't have to worry about anything on that day.

Beautiful & great place. They did almost everything and the price was great! Friendly & the food was really great! Highly Recommend!

Since I live in Florida and wanted to get married in Baton Rouge, I really wanted to find a place that had it all, and I did with the Gatehouse. I had the pleasure to work with Laura, who was the most wonderful person I could have asked for. The Gatehouse supplies you with so many things, that all I had to do was decide on what I wanted and it was there. The Gatehouse not only supplies you with your wedding/reception site, but with delicious food, the cakes, a DJ, decorations, guest book, personalized napkins and the list goes on and on. Since it's a family ran business the moment you walk in, you feel like you have known them forever. I had Laura do extra decorations for me, and it was absolutely beautiful. She took the time to make sure she included everything I wanted plus more. Laura even took the time to clam my nerves when a few things before the wedding didn't go as planned. She made sure I was comfortable and reminded me to focus on what mattered. I love the entire staff at the Gatehouse, and I couldn't be happier with my choice.

Laura was our hostess and she was EXCELLENT; very easy to work with. The food, also, was amazing! They made a huge box of food for husband and I to bring with us back to the hotl that night. The only things that were fumbled: 1. The cake. It didn't come out like the picture (at all!) I could have done a better job myself. They order the cake through a website. (I wouldn't have chosen another venue for my wedding/reception, but I would have ordered the cake through a bakery myself. It tasted okay; it looked AWEFUL.) 2. The music was NOT what I asked for. We needed the music started at very specific times in the ceremony. He also cut the songs in the middle to stop instead of having them play out (which is what i asked for). It made for a very abrupt atmosphere. We gave them a list of "requests" so that the DJ wouldn't be bombarded with people asking for songs (I sent out music request with my rsvps). They played 4 line dance songs; I said MAYBE play ONE, MAX! ...of course on the day-of, especially in the middle of the ceremony, i'm not going to say anything. but i was pissed that i spent over 9k there and the messed up so badly on the music. music is a really important part of our lives. we spent MONTHS trying to pick the right songs and mood...

The staff at Gatehouse were awesome for my wedding! I was such a mess and really had no idea what was done or not and they got everything out perfectly! The only thing I was upset with was that they messed up the ceremony music.

Everything about my wedding experience with The Gatehouse was perfect. They provided everything I needed for the price I wanted. It was completely stress free. They took care of all the major details and even some of the minor ones. I didn't even have to order my wedding cake! The decorations were already there, and the ceremony site and reception hall were immaculate! I would definitely recommend their services to anyone getting married!

I was very happy with the service we recieved. They made planning my wedding so much easier. I would definately refer my friends to them.
