What to Expect on Your Venue Tour

Planning Guides / Your venue tour

A venue photoshoot online is only half the story. Here's what happens when you tour Chatsworth Plantation — and how to make the most of about 60 minutes on the estate.

Before you arrive

Tours are by appointment only. Send an inquiry through our contact form and we'll coordinate a time. If you're driving from Baton Rouge, allow about 20 minutes via LA-74.

What you'll walk

• Walk ceremony spaces — Under the Oaks, pavilions, rose garden, and indoor backup
• See reception areas, dancefloor, and rain contingency plan
• Tour the Marguerite Guest House if lodging interests you
• Discuss guest count, packages, catering, and available dates
• No pressure — just clarity on whether Chatsworth fits your vision

What to bring

Approximate guest count, preferred season, and any must-haves (outdoor ceremony, lodging, micro vs. full wedding). We'll map packages to your headcount and show open Saturdays when you're ready.

There's no pressure to book on the spot — most couples want clarity and a feeling for the property. That's the goal.
