"Destrehan Plantation was easily the best vendor I worked with and would gladly recommend them to any bride looking for a venue."
— Emily S., 5-star wedding review
"I planned my wedding for two years, but it took only two months for me to decide my wedding had to be held at Destrehan Plantation. From the very beginning, Paula and her staff were great to work with!"
— Chantell S., 5-star wedding review
