The Gatehouse

Absolutely loved this venue. My husband and I had our wedding here at the end of last year. The garden is what made me confirm to myself that this is where we will get married at. Christi is very organized and had everything flowing while we were enjoying our wedding. The garden was absolutely beautiful even though it was close to winter. The food was amazing, a ton of options to chose from and everybody keeps telling me about it. You have to see this venue for yourself to really see how truly gorgeous it is. Our wedding day was prefect and I would not change anything about it, and Christi and the Gatehouse is the reason why. A big contributor to our decision to pick this venue was the price. We had a small wedding but didn’t want to spend ~$15,000 for just the venue. The Gatehouse offers everything you need, food, drinks, reception hall, the wedding cake, etc. in the price, and it didn’t break the bank.

The quality of service at the Gatehouse is top-notch. We had our wedding in February and Christi and the rest of the staff were incredibly kind and professional. I was able to perfectly customize everything, and their process is incredibly stress-free. The food, cake, and venue were amazing. I’ll never forget my wedding here!

My husband and I live out of state but are both from Louisiana so our families still live there. Ever since we got engaged, we had been looking at wedding venues throughout Baton Rouge and New Orleans, but not seriously. It wasn't until unforeseen circumstances in my family (illness) that made the decision-making process more critical. Thus our wedding date moved up sooner than we originally intended. We only had a few short weeks to fully plan our wedding.

After looking at what seemed like an endless sea of options (e.g., deciding between a large vs. intimate space, in-house catering/decor vs. using outside vendors, etc.), we were overwhelmed to say the least.

We decided if we were going to get married in just a few short weeks, we had to go with something that had it all so we could have peace of mind. I finally came across The Gatehouse and ultimately chose it for several reasons.

The location was suitable for most of our guests, available parking, the indoor space was just right for the amount of expected guests (~75 people) with an outdoor covered space for overflow, and it was all-inclusive for food/beverage, decor, hospitality/coordination, and DJ/entertainment.

Christi made planning for our big day seamless. Before the wedding, she guided us on what was customizable/provided options, and allowed us to include our preferences on what we wanted. She provided a timeline of the day which was a huge help and weight off our shoulders. This allowed us to focus on other things like getting our marriage license, wedding attire, music playlist, extra decor/flowers/guest favors, and booking our officiant, photographer, and videographer.

The day of the wedding was smooth. Christi and Jen were our Day of Coordinators. Before and after the Ceremony, we were walked through what was to happen so we didn't have to think much about what was coming next. It really helped with my nerves.

After the Ceremony, we had so much fun at our Reception, and our guests had a blast. It was an absolute hit, from the food and cake to the music. Everyone had many nice things to say about our wedding day and loved how beautiful the space looked. They still talk about it to this day.

We want to thank Christi and The Gatehouse crew for making our day special and a truly unforgettable experience. We recommend The Gatehouse to those looking for something more intimate and a stress relief from planning such an eventful day like a wedding, anniversary, or party. Thanks again!

If you are looking for a special place where every detail is taken care of for you, then book this venue. You won't regret it. My niece had her wedding and reception there last night. Everyone, from the event planner, to the DJ, to the photographers, to the videographer to the wait/service staff were OUTSTANDING. They even packed up the leftovers and put them in our car -for us -- no one has ever done that for us!!! They guided us through every step, making sure everyone was comfortable. Can't say enough about the whole experience. Everyone on the staff made us feel like we were part of their own family. Special shout out to Kristie, our hostess. She even took pity on me personally (I was the wedding officiant for my niece) when I was limping badly from my shoes - and searched and found me a comfortable pair to wear for the rest of the evening and our photographers promised to crop the photos so no one would know I did not have my extremely painful pretty shoes on ( Word to the Wise -never buy shoes for looks - always go with comfort-LOL)

Booking The Gatehouse was hands down the best wedding decision we made. Christi was an absolute dream to work with while planning a wedding from another state. The day of, everything went so smoothly and I could not have asked for anything more. It was the perfect venue for our wedding and reception. The grounds were beautiful and provided endless photo opportunities. I can’t wait to get back our professional photos!

My fiance and I are from two separate states both not being the Louisiana area the gate house venue was a perfect place to have our Tim Burton inspired nightmare before Christmas wedding Christy was such an enormous help she's very attentive through phone calls and emails there's also a bridal portal on the gatehouse website that was so much help along with the three ring binder that I received for homework helped make this experience and almost flawless one. The food was amazing the room was beautiful she allowed us to upgrade a package to include our very own theme.thank you for everything that you've done Ms Christy we really appreciate you and the gatehouse in baton rouge Louisiana comes highly recommended from the prince family here in Killeen Texas

Wedding planning was way more hectic than I expected, The Gatehouse was the easiest part of my experience, everything was beautiful and Christi was always one call away.

Choosing The Gatehouse was the easiest decision I made during the entire wedding planning process. Christi and her crew are amazing!

So glad we picked this venue for our wedding!!!! It was absolutely beautiful and the food was amazing. Christy made everything so easy and worked with us through the entire process and made the day smooth and perfect. We are from out of town, so the biggest thing was how much was included in the prices! It was practically a one stop shop for everything we needed!

The Gatehouse has it all! Christi was so awesome and made sure everything was perfect.
